Optimizing the video
Each TP input has a level and peaking adjustment. Most MTP
transmitters and half of the MTPX Plus TP outputs have a pre-
peaking feature. TP inputs and outputs have skew adjustments.
See the following sections to set these adjustable features.
N
Unless the TP cables are changed, these adjustments
should need to be made only once, during installation.
Before you start optimizing, set all input level and peaking,
input and output skew, and ouput pre-peak settings to either
zero or off
Setting the MTP transmitter Pre-Peak feature
For inputs from MTP T 15HD products only — If the cable
between the MTP transmitter and the MTPX Plus is > 300', turn
the transmitter’s Pre-Peak switch on. For shorter cables, turn
the switch off.
