Introduction

About this Manual

This setup guide allows you to easily and quickly set up and
configure your Extron MTPX Plus Twisted Pair (TP) Matrix
Switcher. Step by step instructions show you how to connect the
hardware and then use the physical controls, Simple Instruction
Set (SIS ™ ) commands, the Matrix Switchers Control Program,
and built-in HTML pages to optimize the video and audio
output for the best quality.

About the MTPX Plus Switchers

The MTPX Plus matrix switcher (figure 1-1) distributes signals
that are compatible with the Extron MTP and VTT/VTR product
lines. The matrix switcher routes a TP input signal to any
combination of TP outputs. Depending on the MTP model,
the routed TP signal can include RGB or low resolution video
and either mono audio or transmitter-to-receiver RS-232 serial
communications. The matrix switcher can route multiple
input/output configurations simultaneously.

The switchers are available in the following matrix sizes:
• MTPX Plus 816 (8 inputs by 16 outputs)
• MTPX Plus 128 (12 inputs by 8 outputs)
• MTPX Plus 168 (16 inputs by 8 outputs)
• MTPX Plus 1616 (16 inputs by 16 outputs)
• MTPX Plus 1632 (16 inputs by 32 outputs)
• MTPX Plus 3216 (32 inputs by 16 outputs)
• MTPX Plus 3232 (32 inputs by 32 outputs)
The switchers input and output TP signals on RJ-45 connectors.
N For best results, use a cable length of at least 50 feet (15 m)
between the TP inputs and outputs and the transmitter
and receiver.
Three, four, or six (depending on the matrix size) 15-pin HD and
5-pole 3.5 mm direct insertion input connectors are available
for direct RGB (VGA) and stereo audio inputs without an MTP
transmitter.
For most switchers, the available local inputs parallel the
N
TP input of the same number and either input can be used.
For the MTPX Plus 128, four inputs are local only and
eight inputs are TP only.
Two, four, or eight (depending on the matrix size) 5-pole 3.5 mm
captive screw ports are available for direct mono audio outputs
to an audio device without an MTP transmitter.
One or two (depending on the matrix size) 15-pin HD output
connectors are available for direct RGB (VGA) output to a video
device without an MTP receiver.
N The direct input and direct output connectors can also support
HD-YUV video, YUV video, S-video, and composite video.
N For low resolution MTPs (S-video and composite video) on
the TP inputs and outputs, the MTPX Plus audio circuits
are compatible only with the newer generation, mono audio
models. See the MTP transmitter/receiver manual to
determine which MTP models you have.
There are 4, 8, or 16 (depending on the matrix size) 3-pole
3.5 mm captive screw ports for bidirectional RS-232 signal
inserts. These signals, from a dedicated source (rather than from
the selected input), can be directly inserted into the signal set
routed to the TP output.
The matrix switcher can be remotely controlled via an Ethernet
LAN port, serial port, or USB port (MTPX Plus 128 only)
connection using either the Windows
Switchers Control Program or the Simple Instruction Set (SIS).
