About the MTP Transmitters and Receivers
The Extron MTP T 15HD A transmitter and MTP RL 15HD A and MTP RL 15HD A SEQ
receivers are a system for long-distance distribution of VGA or other high resolution video
and audio.
The MTPs are a part of the Extron compact line of basic distribution amplifiers, switchers,
transmitters and receivers, and associated video accessories.
High resolution video on a 15-pin HD connector as well as stereo audio on a 3.5 mm stereo
jack is sent to the MTP transmitter. The transmitter sums the left and right audio channels to
convert the audio to mono (L+R) format. The MTP T then converts the input video and mono
audio signals to proprietary signals and outputs them to a compatible MTP receiver on an
RJ-45 connector. A pre-peaking control allows you to boost the transmission distance of the
proprietary signal. The transmitter also makes the input video available for local use on a
15-pin HD connector.
The transmitted proprietary signal is sent to the receiver on an RJ-45 connector and converts
the signal back into its high resolution video and mono audio components. The receiver
outputs the video on a 15-pin HD connector and the two sets of identical mono audio
signals on a single 3.5 mm captive screw connector (A series only; RS series outputs on a
RS-232 connection).
The receiver also buffers the proprietary input signal and sends it to another compatible MTP
receiver or to a daisy chain of receivers.
NOTES: • The transmitter provides pre-peaking, which boosts the signal before it is
transmitted. The buffered output on the receiver does not provide any
pre-peaking control. The total recommended distance (see the
table on
page 4) for an entire daisy chain is the same as for a single transmitter and
receiver. The Pre-Peak switch on the transmitter has the same affect on
the recommended transmission distance for a daisy chain as for a single
transmitter and receiver.
• Up to eight receivers can be connected in series using Buffered Output
connectors, provided that the total distance from the TP output of
the transmitter to the last receiver in the chain does not exceed the
recommended distance for the resolution being used.
The SEQ receiver also corrects the skew delay commonly encountered when CAT 5, 5e, 6, 7,
or STP201 cables are used for RGB video, component video, and S-video transmission.
NOTE: An SEQ receiver should not be necessary when Extron Enhanced Skew-Free A/V
UTP cable and non-C7 transmitters and receivers are used.
Each MTP transmitter and receiver model is shipped with an external desktop 12 V power
supply that accepts 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz input.
Twisted Pair Cable Advantages
Twisted pair cable is smaller, lighter, more flexible, and less expensive than coaxial cable.
Termination of the cable with RJ-45 connectors is simple, quick, and economical.
CAUTION: Do not connect these devices to a computer data or telecommunications
network.
