About this Guide
This guide contains installation, configuration, and operation information for the
Extron MTP 15HD A Architectural Series of transmitters.
About the MTP Transmitters
The Extron MTP T 15HD A Architectural Twisted Pair Transmitters (available in either black or
white) are a series of wall, Architectural Adapter Plate (AAP) or furniture mounting products
that are based on the MTP T 15HD A Twisted Pair Transmitter.
The Extron MTP T 15HD A architectural transmitters accept high resolution computer-video
on a female 15-pin HD connector and a stereo audio signal on a female 3.5 mm mini stereo
jack. The female RJ-45 output connector, mounted on a 3 inch pigtail, transmits a computer
video and summed mono audio signal to an MTP R 15HD A, MTP RL 15HD A, or
MTP RL 15HD A SEQ receiver. A pre-peaking control switch boosts the transmission
distance of the proprietary signal.
The MTP T 15HD A architectural series is part of a system for long-distance distribution of
VGA or other high resolution video and audio, over Extron Enhanced Skew-Free AV UTP
Cable, or any CAT 5, 5e, or 6 shielded twisted pair (STP), unshielded twisted pair (UTP), or
foil shielded twisted pair (FTP) cable.
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 (see
Twisted Pair Cable Termination
on page 13 for wiring details).
Transmission Distance
The maximum distance is determined by the frequency and resolution of the signal that is
input to the transmitter.
See the table on page
for the recommended maximum transmission distances and
transmitter Pre-Peak switch positions using Extron Enhanced Skew-Free AV UTP cable or
UTP CAT 5 cable, terminated with CAT 5 rated connectors.
