About the MTP 15HD Decorator-Style Receiver
The Extron MTP R 15HD RSA D is a mini twisted pair (MTP) receiver that auto-detects between audio or RS-232 serial
data on the audio/RS-232 wire pair. The receiver fits into a Decorator-style wallplate and is compatible with the entire line
of Extron MTP 15HD transmitters and associated MTP products.
The Extron MTP transmitters and receivers consist of a system used for long-distance distribution of VGA or other high
resolution video, audio, or RS-232 communications.
The MTPs transmit and receive using Extron Enhanced Skew-Free A/V UTP cable. CAT 5, 5e, or 6 shielded twisted pair
(STP), unshielded twisted pair (UTP), or foil shielded twisted pair (FTP) cable can also be used.
A compatible MTP transmitter inputs high or low resolution video signals (RGB, tri-level and bi-level component video,
S-video, or composite video) and a wire pair that is either RS-232 serial signals or stereo audio. If the audio/RS-232 input
is actually audio, the transmitter sums the left and right audio channels to convert the audio to mono (L+R) format. Then
the transmitter converts the inputs to a proprietary signal and outputs that signal on an RJ-45 connector.
The MTP receiver inputs the transmitted proprietary signal on an RJ-45 connector, converts the video portion of the
signal back into its original resolution, and outputs it locally on a 15-pin HD connector. Level and peaking controls allow
you to enhance the video output for optimum display.
The receiver can also detect whether the input on the
audio/RS-232 wire pair is actually audio or serial data, convert it back to the appropriate format, and output the signal on
a 5-pin captive screw connector.
The receiver is shipped with an external 12 V power supply that accepts 100 to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz input and provides
worldwide power compatibility.
FCC Class A Notice
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15
of the FCC rules. The Class A limits provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment
is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference. This interference must be
corrected at the expense of the user.

Twisted Pair (TP) Cable Advantages
Twisted pair cable is much smaller, lighter, more flexible, and less expensive than coaxial cable. These TP products
make cable runs simpler and less cumbersome. Termination of the cable with RJ-45 connectors is simple, quick, and
economical.

Transmission Distance

NOTE: VGA video transmitters provide pre-peaking, which boosts the signal before it is transmitted.
The maximum distance is determined by the frequency and resolution of the signal that is input to the transmitter. The
table below specifies the recommended maximum transmission distances and transmitter Pre-Peak switch positions
(refer to the applicable transmitter manual) using Extron Enhanced Skew-Free A/V UTP cable or UTP CAT 5, 5e, or 6
cable, terminated with RJ-45 connectors.
