Transmission distance – Extron Electronics MTP 15HD A Series User Guide Rev. C User Manual
Page 8
Transmission Distance
The maximum distance is determined by the frequency and resolution of the signal that
is input to the transmitter. The
on page 4 specifies the recommended maximum
transmission distances and transmitter Pre-Peak switch positions (see
E
on page
) using
Extron Enhanced Skew-Free AV UTP cable, STP201 cable, or CAT 5, 5e, 6, or 7 cable,
terminated with RJ-45 connectors.
NOTES:
•
The transmitter and receiver are designed for and perform best with
Extron Enhanced Skew-Free AV UTP cable terminated in accordance with the
TIA/EIA T 568 A wiring standard. CAT 5, 5e, and 6 cables are acceptable, but less
preferable. We also recommend the use of pre-terminated and tested cables. Cables
terminated on site should be tested before use to ensure that they comply with
Category 5 specifications.
•
The recommendations shown in the
on page 4 apply for a single transmitter
and receiver and for a daisy chain. For example, the maximum suggested range for
1024 x 768 video is 300 feet (90 m) with the Pre-Peak switch off and 500 feet
(150 m) with the Pre-Peak switch on, whether the system consists of one transmitter
and one receiver or a transmitter and three daisy-chained receivers.
•
Extron recommends using at least 25 feet of twisted pair cable between the
transmitter and the first receiver.
•
For daisy-chained units, the first receiver in the chain must be at least
100 feet (30 m) from the transmitter when the Pre-Peak switch is on.
•
For daisy-chained units, any receiver in the chain closer than 350 feet (105 m) may
experience some form of over-peaking when the Pre-Peak switch is on.
An over-peaked image may appear bloomed.
