®® VersaTools MTP 15HD RS RS Series, cont’d VersaTools MTP 15HD Series This manual documents two families of Extron MTP transmitters and receivers: • MTP, compatible with Extron’s Enhanced Skew-Free™ A/V UTP cable and Category (CAT) 5, 5e, and 6 shielded twisted pair (STP), unshielded twisted pair (UTP), or foil shielded twisted pair (FTP) cable. • MTP C7 [CAT 7, C7], compatible with CAT 7 cable only. In this manual, any reference to these products refers to either family, unless explicitly stated.
High resolution video is sent to the MTP transmitter on a 15-pin HD connector. The transmitter passes RS-232 serial data or control signals on a 3.5 mm 3-pin captive screw connector. The transmitter converts the video and RS-232 signals to proprietary signals and outputs them to the compatible MTP receiver on an RJ-45 connector. The transmitter also makes the input video available for local use on a 15-pin HD connector.
VersaTools® MTP 15HD RS Series, cont’d Up to eight receivers can be connected in series using Buffered Output connectors, provided that the total distance from the transmitter’s TP output to the last receiver in the chain does not exceed the recommended distance for the resolution being used. The SEQ receiver also corrects the skew delay (misconvergence) commonly encountered when using CAT 5, 5e, 6, or 7 TP cables for RGB video, component video, and S-video transmission.

VersaTools® MTP 15HD RS Series, cont’d For daisy-chained units, the first receiver in the chain must be at least 100’ (30 m) from the transmitter when the Pre-Peak switch is on. For daisy-chained units, any receiver in the chain closer than 350’ (105 m) may experience some form of overpeaking when the Pre-Peak switch is on. An overpeaked image may appear bloomed. Receiver Jumpering By default, the receiver is unidirectional, configured to send serial data from the transmitter to the receiver, only.
3. Locate jumper JMP1 on the serial data (top) board and shift the jumper to bridge the jumper block (figure 1). 4. Place the top cover back into place. 5. Reinstall the four screws removed in step 2. If any mounting brackets were removed in step 1, put them back into position as you reinstall the screws. 6. If applicable, reinstall the receiver and reconnect all cables. Installation CAUTION Installation and service must be performed by authorized personnel only.
VersaTools® MTP 15HD RS Series, cont’d 5. Reliable earthing (grounding) — Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (such as the use of power strips).

VersaTools® MTP 15HD RS Series, cont’d Back of the rack mounting 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. 1. If installed, remove feet from the bottom of the MTP. 2. Remove two screws from one side of the unit.

VersaTools® MTP 15HD RS Series, cont’d 4 RS-232 connector — Connect a serial communications port to this 3.5 mm, 3-pole captive screw connector for bidirectional RS-232 communication. Wire the connector as shown in figure 8. Connected RS-232 Device Pins MTP Pins Tx Rx Gnd Receive Transmit Ground Figure 8 — RS-232 connector wiring By default, the RS-232 portion of the TP link is unidirectional only from the transmitter to the receiver.

VersaTools® MTP 15HD RS Series, cont’d 3 Buffered Output connector — Connect one end of a TP cable to this female RJ-45 connector. Connect the free end of the same TP cable from the receiver to the female Input RJ-45 connector on another receiver. See “TP cable termination” on page 20 to wire the RJ-45 connectors. The receiver’s buffered output does not provide pre-peaking control. The total recommended distance for an entire daisy chain is the same as for a single transmitter and receiver.

Wire the connector as shown in figure 8 on page 14. By default the RS-232 link is unidirectional only, from the transmitter to the receiver.
VersaTools® MTP 15HD RS Series, cont’d Video switch — Set this switch up for RsGsBs, RGsB, component/S-video/composite video or down to output RGBHV or RGBS video. See the table on page 17. Set the Composite Sync, SOG, and Video DIP switches as shown in the table on page 17 for the various input and output video formats. End Unit switch — Set this switch up if either of the following is true: • The receiver being configured is the only receiver connected to the transmitter.
The two power cord wires must be kept separate while the power supply is plugged in. Remove power before wiring. CAUTION The length of the exposed (stripped) copper wires is important. The ideal length is 3/16” (5 mm). Longer bare wires can short together. Shorter wires are not as secure in the connector and could be pulled out. Do not tin the power supply leads before installing in the direct insertion connector. Tinned wires are not as secure in the connectors and could be pulled out of the connector.
VersaTools® MTP 15HD RS Series, cont’d TP cable termination RJ-45 termination with CAT 5, CAT 5e, or CAT 6 cable (for non-C7 units only) or CAT 7 cable (for C7 units only) must comply with the TIA/EIA T568A or TIA/EIA T568B wiring standards for all connections. RJ-45 termination with Skew-Free A/V UTP cable (for non-C7 units only) must comply with TIA/EIA T568A only. The non C7 transmitters and receivers will not work properly with CAT 7 TP cable.
The green, brown, and blue pairs of this cable have virtually identical lengths and should be used to transmit the RGB signals. The orange pair of this cable has a different length and should not be used to transmit the RGB signals.
VersaTools® MTP 15HD RS Series, cont’d 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. Adjust this control while viewing the displayed image to obtain the optimum picture sharpness.
Skew Delay Compensation CAT 5/5e/6/7 TP cable can lead to registration errors between the red, green, and blue video signals. Pair skew can be measured with test equipment or identified by viewing a crosshatch test pattern with a critical eye to determine if either the red, green, or blue video image leads (appears to the left of) the other two video images. Unless the TP cable is changed, the skew adjustment should only need to be made once, during installation.
VersaTools® MTP 15HD RS Series, cont’d Non-SEQ receiver skew compensation Try using the following methods to minimize or eliminate pair skew: • Switch to Extron’s Enhanced Skew-Free A/V UTP cable. • Add a skew compensation cable equal to the length of pair skew to the receiver’s output. • Install an SEQ 100 15HD Skew Equalizer on the receiver’s video output and adjust the skew for the leading video image.
