Signal outputs, Figure 9 – Extron Electronics MTPX Plus 6400 Series User Guide User Manual
Page 22

NOTES: • When an RS-232 output insert is enabled, any content on the
audio/RS-232 wire pair for the TP input tied to that output is disabled.
• The length of exposed wires is critical. The ideal length is 3/16 inch
(5 mm) (see the audio input connector
for more information).
• The switch time for the RS-232 output insert is 50 ms.
Signal Outputs
f
Outputs (TP) connectors — Connect the TP inputs of compatible MTP or VTR receivers
to these RJ-45 female connectors.
See the Inputs connector,
, in the “Signal inputs” section, for detailed pin
assignments for the RJ-45 connectors.
CAUTION: Do not connect this device to a computer data or telecommunications
network.
NOTE: For best results, use a minimum cable length of at least 25 feet (7.5 m)
between the TP output connector and the receiver
g
Local Outputs (VGA) connectors — Connect up to four RGBHV video displays to
these 15-pin HD female connectors for each output.
These outputs are always outputs 1 through 4, with the same inputs tied to them as to
TP outputs 1 through 4.
NOTES: • The video that is output on these connectors is converted from the tied
proprietary TP input signal or the local (VGA) input. This feature allows
you duplicates of outputs 1 through 4 while eliminating the need for
extra receivers.
• When either the output or input of a tie is local (VGA), Extron
recommends that the MTP input or output be connected by a minimum
of 25 feet (7.5 m) of TP cable to prevent overpeaking.
• The matrix switchers can also input and switch HD component video,
component video, S-video, or composite video by using the appropriate
adapters and the pins shown in
on page 14. No configuration of
the switcher is required for component or other non-RGB video formats.
h
Mono Audio (local audio) outputs — Connect audio devices, such as an
audio amplifier or powered speakers, to these four or eight 3.5 mm, 5-pole
captive screw connectors. These connectors output the selected unamplified,
mono line level audio. See figure 9 to wire an output connector. Use the
supplied tie-wrap to strap the audio cable to the extended tail of the connector.
