About the XTP T VGA
The Extron XTP T VGA is a universal XTP transmitter that sends multi-format analog video,
audio, control, and Ethernet up to 330 feet (100 meters) over a single shielded twisted
pair (STP) cable. It digitizes all incoming analog formats and applies SD Pro processing to
deinterlace 480i and 576i video signals for reliable display on a variety of output devices. To
simplify integration, the XTP transmitter features VGA loop-through for source monitoring. It
also allows Ethernet extension and insertion of bidirectional RS-232 and IR for LAN access
and AV device control at remote locations. The XTP T VGA transmitter works with XTP
Systems for signal distribution and long-distance transmission to remote endpoints.
The XTP T VGA can be powered locally or remotely through an Extron Power Injector or XTP
matrix switcher (see Power Connection on page 8).
To configure and control the XTP T VGA, connect a host device, such as a computer, and
enter Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands (see SIS Configuration and Control on
page 11) or use the XTP System Configuration Software (see XTP System Configuration
Software on page 16).
