About the MTP 15HD Decora ® 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 Decora wall
plate 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.
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
N VGA video transmitters provide pre-peaking, which
boosts the signal before it is transmitted.
