Introduction About the MTP Transmitters and Receivers The Extron MTP transmitters and receivers provide a system for long-distance distribution of NTSC, PAL, or SECAM video and audio over Extron’s Enhanced Skew-Free over Category (CAT) 5 shielded twisted pair (STP), unshielded twisted pair (UTP), or foil shielded twisted pair (FTP) cable.
Introduction, cont’d • The video portion of any S-video transmitter’s output is compatible with any S-video receiver in the MTP family described in this manual if the transmitter and receiver jumper configuration are compatible. See “Signal Jumpers for Generational Compatibility”, in chapter 2, “Installation”. •...
Installation CAUTION Installation and service must be performed by authorized personnel only. Signal Jumpers for Generational Compatibility Over time, the MTPs have been redesigned, affecting the signal content of the TP cable wire pairs, changing the audio from stereo to mono, and eliminating the remote power capability. The new-generation units are not compatible with the old generation unless an internal jumper in the new unit is shifted.

Installation, cont’d Locate the jumper blocks (figure 2-3) on the video board. Shift the jumper to the alternate location. Mono (default jumper position) Compatible with new model transmitter/receivers. Cannot remotely power transmitter/receiver Transmitter Front Panel Transmitter Rear Panel Stereo Compatible with old model transmitter/receivers. Can remotely power transmitter/receiver.
Installation, cont’d Setting the jumpers on AAP transmitters Remove and retain the two screws that secure the back cover to the MTP (figure 2-5). 2. Carefully pull RJ-45 connector through this hole. 1. Remove these screws. Figure 2-5 — Removing the MTP cover Pull the cover out of the way, carefully twisting the RJ-45 connector as necessary to slide it through the hole in the cover marked “Output”.
Installation, cont’d Mounting Options Tabletop use (all except AAP models) The non-AAP MTPs come with self-adhesive rubber feet attached to the four corners of the bottom. Set the MTP on a horizontal surface. Rack mounting (all except AAP models) For optional rack mounting, mount the MTP on any of the following rack shelves: ®...
Installation, cont’d Rack mounting instructions On the standard rack shelf, the MTP mounts in one of eight locations to the rear of the rack or in one of eight locations to the front of the rack. Remove the feet from the bottom of the MTP, if installed. Mount the MTP using two 4-40 x 3/16"...
Installation, cont’d Cable the rear of the transmitter before fastening the AAP module to the AAP frame. Insert each of the AAP module’s screws through the holes in the AAP frame. Secure the transmitter to the frame with the provided captive washers and #4-40 nuts. Install the AAP frame as appropriate to the type of frame.
Installation, cont’d When making connections for the MTP from existing audio cables, see figure 2-14 to identify the tip, ring, and sleeve wires in various connectors. A mono audio connector consists of the tip and sleeve. A stereo audio connector consists of the tip, ring and sleeve. The ring, tip, and sleeve wires are also shown on the captive screw audio connector diagrams, figure 2-13 and figure 2-21.
Installation, cont’d TP cable termination Figure 2-17 details the recommended termination of TP cables with RJ-45 connectors in accordance with the TIA/EIA T 568A or TIA/EIA T 568B wiring standards. You can use either standard, but ensure that you use the same standard on both cable ends.
Installation, cont’d If the transmitter and receiver are either older generation units or jumper configured to the stereo audio position (compatible with the older units), only a single device needs to be powered in a two-unit system. See “Signal Jumpers for Generational Compatibility” on page 2-2. The device connected to the power supply, in turn, provides power to its counterpart.
Installation, cont’d Captive screw audio connector (MTP R SV A, MTP R AV) — Connect a balanced or unbalanced audio device, such as an audio amplifier to this 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw connector. See figure 2-21 to properly wire the output connector. NO GROUND HERE.
S-video transmitter/receiver pairs. Try using the following methods to minimize or eliminate pair skew: • Switch to Extron’s Enhanced Skew-Free A/V UTP cable. • Add an S-video-to-BNC adapter and a skew compensation cable equal to the length of pair skew to the receiver’s output.
