Transmission distances
The maximum distances are determined by the frequency and resolution of the
video signal being routed and which MTPX inputs and outputs (TP or local) are in
the full (video source to display) routing path. The tables below and on the next
page specify the recommended maximum transmission distances using Extron
EnhancedSkew-FreeA/VUTPcableorUTPCAT5,5e,6,or7cable,terminated
with RJ-45 connectors.
N
Resolutions marked with an asterisk (*) in these three tables have the same range
specifications at 75 Hz.
N
For all three tables the minimum TP cable length should be 50' (15 m).
N
RS-232 serial communications can be sent up to 1,000' (300 m) from the MTP
transmitter output (or RS-232 output insert) to the MTP receiver TP input.
N
It is possible to exceed the recommended distances; however, image quality may
be reduced.
