Introduction This section provides information on: • About the Universal MTP Decora® Transmitter • Twisted Pair Cable About the Universal MTP Decora® Transmitter The Extron MTP U T A D is a mini twisted pair (MTP) transmitter, in a two-gang Decora form factor, that is fully compatible with all MTP video and audio receivers and associated MTP products.
Twisted Pair Cable Twisted pair (TP) cable is much smaller, lighter, more flexible, and less expensive than coaxial cable. These TP products make cable runs simpler and less cumbersome. Termination of the cable with RJ-45 connectors is simple, quick, and economical. Transmission Distance NOTE: This transmitter provides pre-peaking, which boosts the signal before it is transmitted. The maximum distance is determined by the frequency and resolution of the signal that is input to the transmitter.
Recommended transmission distances at 60 Hz Video Format Pre-peak OFF Pre-peak On Composite, S‑video, Component Max. Distance (high quality) Max.
Installation and Operation This section discusses the installation and operation of an MTP U T A D transmitter, including: • Installation • Connections and Settings • Making Connections • Receiver Considerations • Skew Delay Compensation Installation The MTP U T A D transmitter can be installed in a two-gang electrical wall box with a Decora wall plate cover (supplied). The installation must conform to national and local electrical codes and to the wall plate size requirements.
Preparing the Site and Installing the Wall Box Choose a location that allows cable runs without interference. Allow enough depth for both the wall box and the cables. The box should be at least 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) deep to accommodate the connectors and cables. Install the cables into the wall, furniture, or conduits before installing the wall plate. NOTE: The Decora unit is 1-5/16 inch (33 m) deep and has connectors on the back side (see figure 1).
5. Secure the wall box with nails or screws, leaving the front edge flush with the outer wall or furniture surface (see figure 2). Wall Stud Wall Stud Wall Box Screws or Nails Cable Clamp Installation Cable Screws or Nails Figure 2. NOTE: Flush with Wall Surface Installing the Wall Box If attaching the wall box to • Wood — use four #8 or #10 screws or 10-penny nails. A minimum of 0.5 inch (1.3 cm) of screw thread must penetrate the wood.
Final Installation After testing and making any adjustments, do the following: 1. At the power outlet, unplug the power supply. 2. Mount the transmitter into the box and attach the supplied Decora faceplate to the unit (see figure 3). Wall Stud Wall opening is flush with edge of box.

Video Connections a Computer Input connector — Connect a computer (VGA) video source to this 15-pin HD connector for a high resolution video input. NOTES: • Input only sync signals, no video signals, on the sync pins (13 and 14). • For component video, use the R (R-Y) and R return pins (pins 1 and 6), G (Y) and G return pins (pins 2 and 7), and B (B-Y) and B return pins (pins 3 and 8). • For S-video, use the R, R return (C-chroma), G, and G return (Y-luma) pins.
Configuration switches The configuration switches (h and i) will be inaccessible once the Decora faceplate is installed. h i DIP switches • Contact (1) — Set this switch on (up) for contact closure control of the input selection. Set this switch off (down) to put the transmitter in auto switch mode (the transmitter automatically selects the highest format video input with a sync signal present). • Pre-Peak (2) — Set this switch on (up) to alter the TP signal output to compensate for long cable runs.

Making Connections Power Supply Wiring Figure 7 shows how to wire the power connector. 12 V Tie Wrap SECTION A–A 3/16” (5 mm) Max. Smooth Ridges A A 2-Pole Captive Screw Connector (12V) Figure 7. Power Connector Wiring CAUTION: Power supply voltage polarity is critical. Incorrect voltage polarity can damage the power supply and the MTP. Identify the power cord negative lead by the ridges on the side of the cord (see figure 7).
TP Cable Termination NOTES: • RJ-45 termination with CAT 5, CAT 5e, or CAT 6 cable must comply with the TIA/EIA T568A or TIA/EIA T568B wiring standards for all connections. • RJ-45 termination with Skew-Free A/V UTP cable must comply with TIA/EIA T568A only. Figure 8 details the recommended termination of TP cables with RJ-45 connectors in accordance with the TIA/EIA T568A or TIA/EIA T568B wiring standards.
• See the recommended transmission ranges on page 3. The recommendations in the table apply equally for a single transmitter and receiver and for a transmission daisy chain. For example, the maximum suggested range for 1024 x 768 video is 300 feet with Pre-Peak off and 500 feet with Pre-Peak on for either one transmitter and one receiver or one transmitter and three daisy-chained receivers.
