For HDTV/component video applications, the transmitter can be configured to send tri-level sync (figure 1).
VersaTools® MTP 15HD A Series, cont’d consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern. End Unit RL Receiver DIP Switch Set the RL receiver’s rear panel End Unit DIP switch up only if either of the following is true: • The receiver being configured is the only receiver connected to the transmitter. • The receiver being configured is the last receiver in a daisy-chained system.
VersaTools® MTP 15HD A Series, cont’d Back of the rack mounting instructions The MTP can be mounted to the rear of a rack using the Extron MBB 100 VersaTools back of the rack mounting kit (part #70-367-01) (figure 4). The kit allows the product to be vertically mounted to the front or rear rack supports and facing either towards the front or the rear of the rack.

VersaTools® MTP 15HD A Series, cont’d Connections and Settings CAUTION 4 Do not connect these devices to a computer data or telecommunications network. Audio input connector — Plug a 3.5 mm stereo audio plug into this jack for unbalanced audio input. Wire the plug as shown in figure 8. Figure 8 shows a typical audio connector, which consists of a tip, ring, and sleeve. The ring, tip, and sleeve wires are also shown on the audio output captive screw audio connector diagram, figure 10.
VersaTools® MTP 15HD A Series, cont’d See the table on page 4 for recommended transmission ranges. The recommendations in the table apply equally for a single transmitter and receiver and for a daisy chain. For example, the maximum suggested range for 1024 x 768 video is 300' (90 m) with the Pre-Peak switch off and 500’ (150 m) with the Pre-Peak switch on for either one transmitter and one receiver or a transmitter and three daisy-chained receivers.
VersaTools® MTP 15HD A Series, cont’d DIP switches Horizontal Sync switch (1) — Set this switch up for positive horizontal sync (or positive composite sync if the Composite Sync switch is on) or down for negative sync. H SYNC + V SYNC + C SYNC SOG VIDEO END UNIT 10 Power supply wiring ON Most devices use negative sync. If there are one or more receivers connected to the Buffered Output RJ-45 connector on the receiver being configured, set that receiver’s End Unit switch down.
VersaTools® MTP 15HD A Series, cont’d The green, brown, and blue wire pairs of this cable have virtually identical lengths and should be used to transmit the RGB signals. TP cable termination RJ-45 termination with CAT 5, CAT 5e, or CAT 6 cable must comply with the TIA/EIA T 568A or TIA/EIA T 568B wiring standards for all connections. RJ-45 termination with Skew-Free A/V UTP cable must comply with TIA/EIA T 568 A only.
VersaTools® MTP 15HD A Series, cont’d For best results when using an RL receiver, connect a load to the receiver’s buffered output before adjusting the level. 3 Peaking control — Peaking affects the sharpness of a picture. Increased peaking can compensate for mid- and high-frequency detail loss from low bandwidth system components or capacitance in long cables. The minimum setting (at the counterclockwise limit) provides no peaking. The maximum setting (at the clockwise limit) provides 100% peaking.
