Introduction
MTP DA4 and MTP DA8 • Introduction
32
The MTP DA inputs a proprietary signal on an RJ-45 connector,
buffers it, and distributes four or eight identical proprietary
signals on RJ-45 connectors.
N
The MTP DA does not support the remote power feature
of the MTP SV, MTP CV, and VTT001. You will have
to power the transmitter and all connected receivers.
A contact closure connector on the rear panel provides the
ability to mute individual outputs or all outputs.
The MTPs ship with external desktop 12 V power supplies that
accept 100 to 240 VAC, 50 Hz or 60 Hz input.
TP cable advantages
Twisted pair cable is smaller, lighter, more exible, and less
expensive than coaxial cable. Termination of the cable with
RJ-45 connectors is simple, quick, and economical.
Transmission distance
The maximum distance for the entire transmission system is
determined by the output frequency and resolution and the
position of the transmitter’s Pre-Peak switch (if equipped). The
total recommended distances are not affected by the presence
or absence of an MTP DA in the transmission system. The
following sections specify the recommended transmission
distances using Extron Enhanced Skew-Free A/V UTP cable or
UTP CAT 5 cable, terminated with CAT 5 rated connectors
N
It is possible to exceed the recommended distance;
however, image quality may be reduced.
N
The recommendations apply to a complete transmission
system, which can include a single transmitter, one or
more DAs, and one or more daisy-chained receivers. For
example, the maximum suggested range for 1024 x 768
video is 300’ with Pre-Peak off in an MTP 15HD system.
N
If you are using the DA as part of an MTP 15HD RS
(serial data) transmission system, be aware that the DA
routes the serial link one way only, from the transmitter
to the receiver(s).
Also, the transmitter and receiver must be jumper
configured to pass the serial link one way only. Refer to
the MTP 15HD RS User's Manual.
The table below species the recommended transmission
distances and transmitter Pre-Peak switch positions for
MTP 15HD RGB transmission systems.

MTP SV and MTP CV transmission distances
Extron suggests a minimum transmission distance of at least 50'
(15 m). The maximum transmission distance is 1000' (300 m).
VTT001/VTR001 transmission distances
The following table species the maximum recommended
transmission distances for a VTT001/VTR001 system at 60 Hz.
