Introduction This section gives an overview of the user guide. This section also describes the MTP 15HD RS Series of transmitters and receivers.
The RS-232 portion of the twisted pair link: •• Can be bidirectional in a one-receiver system; that is, the receiver can receive commands from the transmitter and pass RS-232 responses to the transmitter. NOTE: By default, the RS-232 portion of the twisted pair link is unidirectional only from the transmitter to the receiver. Use the internal jumpers in the receiver to enable bidirectional communication in a single-receiver system only (see "Pre-Installation — RS-232 Jumper" on page 5).
Transmission Distance The maximum distance is determined by the frequency and resolution of the signal that is input to the transmitter. The table on page 4 specifies the recommended maximum transmission distances and transmitter Pre-Peak switch positions (see item e on page 9) using Extron Enhanced Skew-Free AV UTP cable or CAT 5, 5e, or 6 cable, terminated with RJ-45 connectors.

Installation and Operation This section provides information on: •• Installation and Operation Overview •• Front Panel Features •• Transmitter Rear Panel Features •• Receiver Rear Panel Features Installation and Operation Overview Follow the steps below to properly install and operate any of the Extron MTP 15HD RS transmitters and receivers. ATTENTION: Potential damage to property. Do not connect these devices to a computer data or telecommunications network.
Front Panel Features See figure 2 below to identify the front panel features on the transmitter and receiver.

MTP Front Panels NOTE: a b Control signal ground pins may be labeled as or “G”.
e EDID select rotary switch — The rotary switch is used to select specific preprogrammed or user-recorded EDID settings. Position 0 of this 16 position rotary switch is used to select the user recorded EDID. Position F passes the EDID from the display connected to the loop-out back to the input. Positions 1 through E select pre-programmed EDID resolutions. NOTE: f The refresh rate of the pre-programmed EDID resolutions is selected using the first DIP switch (d).
Transmitter Rear Panel Features Figure 3 shows an MTP T 15HD RS transmitter, which has all of the connectors and other features that are on either transmitter in the MTP 15HD RS series. 4 MTP T 15HD RS RS-232 PRE-PEAK Tx Rx G POWER 12V .5A MAX ON INPUT MONITOR 2 3 1 OFF OUTPUT 5 6 Figure 3. Transmitter Rear Panel a Power connector — Plug the included external 12 VDC power supply into this 2-pole captive screw connector. See "Power Supply Wiring" on page 12 to wire the connector.
e Pre-Peak switch — The Pre-Peak switch alters the twisted pair signal output to correct for long cable runs. See the table on page 4 for suggested switch settings based on the transmitted video format and transmission distance. NOTES: • Use the internal jumpers to enable bidirectional communication (see "Pre-Installation — RS-232 Jumper" on page 5). • The length of the exposed wires in the stripping process is critical. The ideal length is 3/16 inches (5 mm).
Receiver Rear Panel Features Figure 6 shows an MTP RL 15HD RS receiver, which has all of the connectors and other features that are on either receiver in the MTP 15HD RS series. 5 MTP RL 15HD RS 12V .5A MAX INPUT BUFFERED OUTPUT Tx Rx G H SYNC + V SYNC + C SYNC SOG VIDEO END UNIT POWER RS-232 ON 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 OUTPUT 1 2 3 4 Figure 6. Receiver Rear Panel a Power connector — Plug the included external 12 VDC power supply into this 2-pole captive screw connector.
f DIP switches (RL receivers only) — A 6-pole DIP switch is used to configure the features of the MTP receivers. •• Horizontal sync (H Sync +) switch — Set this switch On (up) for positive horizontal sync or Off (down) for negative sync. •• Vertical sync (V Sync +) switch — Set this switch On (up) for positive vertical sync or Off (down) for negative sync. NOTE: •• For H Sync + and V Sync +, most devices use negative sync.
Power Supply Wiring Figure 8 below shows how to wire the connector. ATTENTION: • Potential damage to property. Power supply voltage polarity is critical. Incorrect voltage polarity can damage the power supply and the transmitter or receiver. Identify the power cord negative lead by the ridges on the side of the cord. • The length of the exposed (stripped) copper wires is important. The ideal length is 3/16 inches (5 mm). Longer bare wires can short together.
As an alternative, an Extron PS 124 Universal 12 VDC Power Supply (part number 60-1022-01) can power multiple MTPs or other Extron 12 VDC devices using only one AC power connector. Twisted Pair Cable Termination Figure 9 details the recommended termination of twisted pair cables with RJ-45 connectors in accordance with the TIA/EIA T568A or TIA/EIA T568B wiring standards. You can use either standard with CAT 5, 5e, and 6 cable, but ensure that you use the same standard on both ends of the cable.
Skew Delay Compensation CAT 5, 5e, and 6 cable can lead to registration errors between the Red, Green, and Blue video signals. Pair skew can be measured with test equipment or identified by viewing a crosshatch test pattern with a critical eye to determine if either the Red, Green, or Blue video image leads (appears to the left of) the other two video images. NOTE: Unless the twisted pair cable is changed, the skew adjustment should need to be made only once, during installation.
EDID Configuration The MTP 15HD RS transmitter can either record EDID from a display device, or a pre-programmed EDID can be selected using the rotary and DIP switches. Recording a Display EDID 1. Turn the rotary switch to position 0. NOTE: The vertical frequency DIP switch has no effect in this mode. 2. Connect the display device to the local monitor output connector. NOTE: The MTP 15HD transmitter should be supplying the necessary 5 VDC to power on the display.
