N
The receiver-to-transmitter serial communications and
remote power capabilities available with certain MTP
models are not supported by this matrix switcher.
The MTPX Plus matrix switcher is available in the following
matrix sizes:
MTPX Plus 816 (8 inputs by 16 outputs)•
MTPX Plus 168 (16 inputs by 8 outputs)•
MTPX Plus 1616 (16 inputs by 16 outputs)•
MTPX Plus 1632 (16 inputs by 32 outputs)•
MTPX Plus 3216 (32 inputs by 16 outputs)•
MTPX Plus 3232 (32 inputs by 32 outputs)•
The MTPX Plus switchers input and output TP signals on RJ-45
connectors.
N
For best results, use a cable length of at least 50' (15 m)
between the TP inputs and outputs and the transmitter
and receiver.
Three or six (depending on the matrix size) 15-pin HD and
5-pole 3.5 mm direct insertion input connectors are available
for direct RGB (VGA) and stereo audio inputs without an MTP
transmitter.
One or two (depending on the matrix size) 15-pin HD output
connectors are available for direct RGB (VGA) output to a video
device without an MTP receiver.
N
The direct input and direct output 15-pin HD connectors
can also support HD-YUV video, YUV video, S-video, and
composite video.
Four or eight (depending on the matrix size) 5-pole 3.5 mm
captive screw ports are available for direct mono audio outputs
to an audio device without an MTP transmitter.
N
For low resolution MTPs (S-video and composite video) on
the TP inputs and outputs, the MTPX Plus audio circuits
are compatible only with the newer generation, mono audio
models. See the MTP transmitter/ receiver to determine
which MTP models you have.
Four, eight, or 16 (depending on the matrix size) 3-pole 3.5 mm
captive screw ports are available for bidirectional RS-232 signals
from a dedicated source (rather than from the selected input) to
be directly inserted into the signal set routed to the TP output.
The matrix switcher can be remotely controlled via its Ethernet
LAN port or either of two serial ports using either Extron’s
Windows
®
-based Matrix Switchers Control Program or the
Simple Instruction Set (SIS
™
).
About this Manual
This setup guide allows you to easily and quickly set up and
congure your Extron MTPX Plus Twisted Pair (TP) Matrix
Switcher. Step by step instructions show you how to connect
the hardware, and then use the physical controls and the Matrix
Switchers Control Program to optimize the video and audio
output for the best quality.
About the MTPX Plus Switchers
The MTPX Plus matrix switcher (gure 1-1) distributes signals
that are compatible with the Extron MTP and VTT/VTR product
lines. The matrix switcher routes a TP input signal to any
combination of TP outputs. Depending on the MTP model,
the routed TP signal can include RGB or low resolution video
and either mono audio or transmitter-to-receiver RS-232 serial
communications. The matrix switcher can route multiple
input/output congurations simultaneously.
