Installation Overview
To install and set up a TP receiver and the associated TP
transmitter(s) for operation, perform the following steps:
1
Disconnect power from all of the equipment, including the
video source(s) (such as computers or DVD players), the
transmitter, the receiver, and the output display(s).
2
For component, S-video, or composite video, ensure that
the internal jumpers (TP R BNC A and TP R BNC AV) or
external DIP switch (TP R 15HD A) are in the correct
position. See Video jumpers or Video DIP switch in this
chapter.
3
TP R BNC AV and TP R AV only — If desired, configure
the audio jumpers to make the receiver compatible with
unmodified TP transmitters. See Audio jumpers in this
chapter.
The TP R BNC AV and TP R AV are redesigned
(modified) receivers. The audio jumpers configure the
audio portion of the composite video TP link to work
with either similarly redesigned TP T 15HD AV and
TP T AV transmitters or with older, unmodified
transmitters. Redesigned receivers and transmitters
have an identifying label.
4
Mount the receiver in a rack (all except TP R AV) (the
TP R 15HD A can be mounted in a standard rack or in a
VersaTools rack), under a desk or podium, in a desk or
table (all except TP R 15HD A), or on a projector bracket.
See Mounting the receiver in this chapter.
5
Connect the cable(s) between the TP transmitter(s) and the
receiver. See Transmitted signal cabling in this chapter and
refer to the TP Transmitters Family User’s Manual, part
#68-546-03, or the TP T 15HD 45 and TP T A 45 Manual,
#68-924-01, as applicable.
6
Connect the output cables. See Output cabling in this
chapter.
7
Configure the TP transmitter(s). Refer to the TP
Transmitters Family User’s Manual, part #68-546-03, or the
TP T 15HD 45 and TP T A 45 Manual, #68-924-01, as
applicable.
8
Connect power cords to the TP receiver, the TP
transmitter, and turn on the video source(s) and the
output display(s).
2-2
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.
Use the following guidelines:
• The TP T 15HD A, TP T 15HD AV, and
TP T BNC may not require a local power supply for
cable lengths of 300 feet or less.
• The TP T AV may not require a local power supply
for cable lengths of 800 feet or less.
• Any of the following transmitters always require
the local power supply:
! TP T BNC DA4
! TP T 15HD 45
! TP T A 45
! VTT001
! Any transmitter connected to a TP R 15HD A
If problems are encountered, such as a missing or poor
quality image on the output, use the local power supply.
See Troubleshooting, on page 2-19 for other indications
that may require using the local power supply.
9
Adjust the picture controls on the transmitter(s) and the
receiver. See Controls and Indicators in this chapter and
refer to the TP Transmitters Family User’s Manual, part
#68-546-03.
Video jumpers
The TP R BNC A and TP R BNC AV receivers can be configured
to receive component video, S-video, or composite video.
The receivers are factory configured for RGB video. To
receive any other type of video, reconfigure the jumpers.
