Introduction, cont’d Introduction It is possible to exceed the recommended distances, however, image quality may be reduced. About the TP Receivers The Extron Twisted Pair (TP) receivers receive transmissions of RGB video, component video, S-video, composite video, and stereo audio over Extron’s Enhanced Skew-Free™ A/V UTP cable or standard Category (CAT) 5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP), shielded twisted pair (STP), or foil shielded twisted pair (FTP) cable.
Introduction, cont’d TP R BNC AV receiver TP R 15HD A receiver The TP R BNC AV receiver has the following features: The TP R 15HD A receiver has the following features: Video output — Provides RGBHV, RGBS, or RGsB video on 5 BNC connectors, and composite video on 1 BNC connector. Video output — Provides RGBHV, RGBS, and RGsB on a 15-pin HD connector. With an optional SY 15 HD-RGBHV cable, the receiver can output component video, S-video, or composite video.

Installation and Operation, Operation cont’d All TP transmitters include a 15V or 12V external power supply. The transmitters (with the exception of the TP T 15HD 45 and TP T A 45) also receive power from the associated Extron TP receiver(s) (with the exception of the TP R 15HD A) via the TP cable. Extron recommends using the local power supply; however, the power supply may not be necessary in some applications.
Installation and Operation, cont’d Remove the three screws on each side and the two screws on top of the cover (figure 2-1). Remove 8 Screws A 1.
Installation and Operation, cont’d 1. Remove the three screws on each side and the one or two screws on top of the cover (figure 2-2). Remove (7) Screws Lift Cover straight up R WE DC PO B A-V UT TP OU R V .5A 15 TP R AV or TP R BNC AV Mounting the receiver Rack mounting (TP R BNC A, TP R BNC AV, TP R 15HD A) TP R BNC A, TP R BNC AV, or TP R 15HD AV — For optional rack mounting, mount the receiver on a 19" 1U Universal Rack Shelf (Extron part #60-190-01) (figure 2-3).
Installation and Operation, cont’d TP R 15HD A only — For optional rack mounting, mount the receiver on a VersaTools 19" 1U Rack Shelf (Extron part #60-190-20) (figure 2-4). The TP R 15HD A mounts in one of four locations on the rack.
Installation and Operation, cont’d For under-surface mounting, insert #8 wood screws into the four pilot holes. Tighten each screw into the mounting surface until just less than 1/4” of the screw protrudes. 6. For under-surface mounting, align the mounting screws with the slots in the brackets and place the receiver against the surface, with the screws through the bracket slots. 7.
Installation and Operation, cont’d 4 Computer video The TP R BNC A, TP R BNC AV and TP R 15HD A receive and output RGB video. These receivers can also receive component video, S-video, or composite video and output them on the R, G, and B signal lines. 3 10 5 15 5 SOG switch — Set this rear panel switch up for RGsB video and down for RGBHV or RGBS video. For RGBHV video, use the R, G, B, H/HV, and V BNCs. C Sync switch — Set this rear panel switch up for RGBS video and down for RGBHV or RGsB video.
Installation and Operation, cont’d Audio TP R BNC A and TP R AV — Wire the external 15V power supply into this 3-pole captive screw connector (figure 2-9) and plug the connector into the receiver. The power supply is included with the unit. All Extron TP receivers receive and output stereo audio. All receivers except the TP R 15HD A output the audio on both left and right RCA connectors and on 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw connectors. The TP R 15HD A outputs audio on the captive screw connector only.
Installation and Operation, cont’d Enhanced Skew-free A/V cable is not recommended for Ethernet/LAN applications. The design of Extron’s Enhanced Skew-Free A/V UTP cable reduces pair skew to the point that equalization is not required. This cable is specially designed for compatibility with Extron’s Twisted Pair products, wired using the TIA/ EIA 568 A standard. Skew exists between pairs when the physical length of one wire pair is different from another.
Installation and Operation, cont’d • The receiver is connected through a TP switcher to a device that provides a reference ground. Front Panel Controls and Indicators The TP R BNC A and TP R BNC AV have similar controls and indicators (figure 2-12). The TP R 15HD A has a reduced set of controls (figure 2-13).
Installation and Operation, cont’d 8. The transmission distance may be too short. Ensure that the UTP cable is at least 50 feet long. 9. If the Manual/Auto switch is in the manual position, ensure that the receiver’s level controls are not set too high. Too much level and peaking can cause display problems. 10. For computer video from a laptop or for ungrounded AC distribution systems, the transmitter may need to be grounded.

Specifications, Accessories, and Part Numbers cont’d The TP R AV and TP R BNC AV are redesigned receivers. The audio portion of the composite video TP link can be configured to work with either similarly redesigned TP T AV and TP T 15HD AV transmitters or with older, unmodified transmitters. See Audio jumpers in chapter 2, Installation and Operation. The TP T A 45 incorporates the redesigned audio circuits, but cannot be jumpered for backwards compatibility.
