Introduction Do not connect this device to a computer data or telecommunications network. About the MTP 4T 15HD RS The Extron MTP 4T 15HD RS consists of four MTP T 15HD RS transmitters in a single enclosure. This set of transmitters and the Extron MTP RL 15HD RS and MTP RL 15HD RS SEQ receivers provide a means to distribute VGA or other high resolution video and RS-232 serial communications across long distances.
Introduction, cont’d 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 The maximum distance is determined by the frequency and resolution of the signal that is input to the transmitter.
Installation and Operation Setting the Transmitter Sync Jumpers (Component Video) By default, each transmitter in the MTP 4T 15HD RS is configured to send bi-level (normal) sync. For HDTV/component video applications, the transmitter can be configured to send tri-level sync as follows: If applicable, disconnect all power and other cables, remove the transmitter from its installation location, and remove any previously installed mounting brackets.
Installation and Operation, cont’d 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). Installation instructions Mount the MTP 4T 15HD RS in a rack as follows: If feet were installed on the bottom of the transmitter assembly, remove them.
Installation and Operation, cont’d Monitor connector — Connect a video monitor to this 15-pin HD connector for buffered, high resolution video loop through. RS-232 connector — Connect a serial communications device to this 3.5 mm, 3-pole captive screw connector for bidirectional RS-232 communication. Wire the connector as shown in figure 2-4.

Installation and Operation, cont’d Receiver considerations Each transmitter in the assembly requires a separate receiver. The receivers' buffered outputs do not provide pre- peaking control. The total recommended distance for an entire daisy chain is the same as for a single transmitter and receiver. The transmitter's Pre-Peak switch has the same affect on the recommended transmission distance for a daisy chain as for a single transmitter and receiver. Up to 8 receivers can be connected in series to a transmitter using the receivers' 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. See the recommended transmission ranges in the table on page 1-4. The recommendations in the table apply equally for a single transmitter and receiver and for a transmission daisy chain. For example, the maximum suggested range for 1024 x 768 video is 300’ with Pre-Peak off and 500’ with Pre-Peak on for either one transmitter and one receiver or a transmitter and three daisy-chained receivers. For daisy-chained units, the first receiver in the chain must be at least 100’ from the transmitter when the Pre- Peak switch is on. For daisy-chained units, any receiver in the chain closer than 350’ may experience some form of over-peaking when the Pre-Peak switch is on. If a receiver is the last receiver in a daisy chain, its end unit DIP switch setting needs to be changed. Refer to the MTP 15HD RS Series manual. MTP 4T 15HD RS •...
