Rs-232 Function - Extron electronics MTP SW6 User Manual

NOTE: The remote power capabilities of certain MTP models are not supported by this
switcher.
The MTP switcher has image enhancement features that allow you to correct for long
distance transmissions and skew:
•
Level and Peaking controls enhance the TP signals received on the inputs.
• A Pre-Peaking control enhances the TP output for optimum display.
•
Delay (skew correction) controls correct for skew delay (misconvergence) commonly
encountered when using CAT 5, 5e, or 6 TP cables for RGB video, and component
video transmission.
NOTE: Skew correction should not be necessary when Extron Enhanced Skew-Free
Bidirectional RS-232 signal from a dedicated source (rather than from the selected input)
can be directly inserted into the signal set routed to the TP output. You can even route
RS-232 on a link that is normally audio, such as to an MTP R 15HD RSA D receiver, which
can autodetect whether the signal input to it includes an audio component or an RS-232
component.
The MTP switcher is housed in a rack-mountable, 1U high, half rack-width metal
enclosure. This switcher is shipped with an external 12 V power supply that accepts 100
to 240 VAC, 50 Hz or 60 Hz input and provides worldwide power compatibility.

RS-232 Function

When the TP link includes RS-232 signals, they are unidirectional (switcher to receiver).
NOTE: The RS-232 insert signal path is bidirectional.
The RS-232 link:
•
Supports software low control (XON, XOFF).
NOTE: Hardware low control is not supported.
•
Supports full duplex and half duplex operation.
• Supports baud rates up to 38,400, data bits, parity, stop bits, and data format without
coniguration.
NOTE: Higher rates are possible, but performance will vary as a function of baud
A/V UTP cable is used and the transmission distance is less than 1,000 feet
(300 m).
