Introduction

This section introduces the MTP transmitters and receivers. Topics discussed in this section

are:

• About the MTP Transmitters and Receivers

• TP Cable Advantages

• Transmission Distance

About the MTP Transmitters and Receivers

The Extron MTP transmitters and receivers provide a system for long-distance distribution

of NTSC, PAL, or SECAM video and audio. The MTPs transmit and receive over the Extron

Enhanced Skew-Free

™

A/V UTP cable, Category (CAT) 5 shielded twisted pair (STP),

unshielded twisted pair (UTP), or foil shielded twisted pair (FTP) cable.

The MTPs are a part of the Extron line of basic distribution amplifiers, switchers, transmitters,

receivers, and associated video accessories.

The MTP transmitters input and the receivers output S-video (luminance [Y] and

chrominance [C]) or composite video.

Audio input is either balanced or unbalanced audio on captive screw connectors as well

as unbalanced audio on RCA connectors. The transmitters sum the left and right audio

channels to convert the audio to mono (L+R) format.

NOTE: MTPs can be jumpered for stereo audio output.

The MTP transmitter then converts the input video and mono audio signals (if applicable) to

proprietary signals and outputs them to the compatible MTP receiver on an RJ-45 connector.

Each transmitter requires a compatible receiver. The table on page 2 shows the video and

audio capabilities of each model, the transmitter and receiver compatibility, and Architectural

Adapter Plate (AAP) mountability.

The MTPs ship with external desktop 12 V power supplies that accept 100 to 240 VAC,

50-60 Hz input. If jumpers are repositioned from the default settings, a single power supply

can power both units if there is less than 200 feet (61 meters) of STP/UTP/FTP cable between

the two.

MTP Series • Introduction 2

TP Cable Advantages

Twisted pair (TP) 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

Extron suggests a minimum transmission distance of at least 50 feet. The maximum

transmission distance when using Enhanced Skew-Free A/V UTP cable or UTP CAT 5 cable,

terminated with CAT 5 rated connectors, is 1000 feet.

NOTES: • It is possible to exceed the recommended distance, however, image quality

may be reduced.

• The transmitters and receivers are designed for and perform best with Extron

Enhanced Skew-Free A/V cable. CAT 5 cables are acceptable, but are less

preferable. We also recommend the use of preterminated and tested cables

when possible. Cables terminated on site should be tested before use to

ensure that they comply with Category 5 specifications.

• The video portion of any S-video transmitter output is compatible with any

S-video receiver in the MTP family described in this manual if the transmitter

and receiver jumper configuration are compatible.

• The video portion of any composite video transmitter output is compatible

with any composite video receiver in the MTP family described in this guide if

the transmitter and receiver jumper configuration are compatible.

• The audio portion of any transmitter output (whether it is equipped with either

captive screw or RCA input connectors) is compatible with any audio receiver

in the MTP family described in this manual if the transmitter and receiver

jumper configuration are compatible.

MTP Series • Installation 3

Installation

This section describes the installation procedures, including:

• Signal Jumpers for Generational Compatibility

• Mounting Options

• Panel Features and Connections

CAUTION: Installation and service must be performed by authorized personnel only.

Signal Jumpers for Generational Compatibility

Over time, the MTPs have been redesigned, affecting the signal content of the TP cable wire

pairs, changing the audio from stereo to mono, and eliminating the remote power capability.

The new-generation units are not compatible with the old generation unless an internal

jumper in the new unit is shifted.

Shift the jumpers for the new transmitter, receiver, or both if:

• Your installation mixes a transmitter and receiver from different generations.

• You want the units to transmit stereo audio.

• You want one unit to remotely power another.

Use the table below to identify the generation (revision level) of the transmitter and receiver

in your installation. If any of the above scenarios are true, reconfigure the jumpers for the

units before mounting the units.

NOTE: Only the new generation units have these jumpers.

Mounting Options

UL Requirements

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirements pertain to the installation of the

MTP transmitter or receiver into a rack.

1. Elevated operating ambient — If the equipment is installed in a closed or multi-unit

rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may

be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consider installing the equipment in an

environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (TMA) specified by

the manufacturer.

2. Reduced air flow — Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the

amount of air flow required for safe operation is not compromised.

3. Mechanical loading — Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a

hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

4. Circuit overloading — Consideration should be given to the connection of the

equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might

have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of

equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

5. Reliable earthing (grounding) — Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment

should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections (such

as the use of power strips) other than direct connections to the branch circuit.

Tabletop Use (All Except AAP Models)

The non-AAP MTPs come with self-adhesive rubber feet attached to the four corners of the

bottom. Set the MTP on a horizontal surface.

Rack Mounting (All Except AAP Models)

For optional rack mounting, mount the MTP on any of the following rack shelves:

• RSF 123 universal rack shelf for 3.5 inch deep products (part number: 60-190-20)

MTP Series • Installation 11

CAUTIONS: • The length of the exposed (stripped) portion of the copper wires is

important. The ideal length is 3/16 inches (5 mm). Longer bare

wires can short together. Shorter bare wires are not as secure in the

direct insertion connectors and could be pulled out.

• The captive screw audio connector can easily be inadvertently

plugged partially into one receptacle and partially into an adjacent

receptacle. This misconnection could damage the audio output

circuits. Ensure that the connector is plugged fully and only into the

desired input or output

NOTES: • When making connections for the MTP from existing audio cables, see

figure 14 to identify the tip, ring, and sleeve wires in various connectors.

• A mono audio connector consists of the tip and sleeve.

• A stereo audio connector consists of the tip, ring, and sleeve.

• The ring, tip, and sleeve wires are also shown on the captive screw audio

connector diagrams (see figure 13 and figure 21).

CAUTION: Do not connect these devices to a computer data or

telecommunications network.

NOTE: RJ-45 termination must comply with the TIA/EIA T 568A or TIA/EIA T 568B

wiring standards for all connections.

e Transmitter output and receiver input connector — Connect one end of a TP

cable to this RJ-45 female connector on the transmitter. On the MTP T SV A AAP and

MTP T AV AAP, the connector is at the end of a short pigtail.

Connect the free end of the same TP cable from the transmitter to this RJ-45 female

connector on the receiver.

TP cable termination

Figure 17 details the recommended termination of TP cables with RJ-45 connectors in

accordance with the TIA/EIA T 568A or TIA/EIA T 568B wiring standards. You can use either

standard, but ensure that you use the same standard on both cable ends.

WARNING: Damage may occur to the unit if TP cables are miswired as crossover

cables.

A cable that is wired as T568A at one end

and T568B at the other (Tx and Rx pairs

reversed) is a "crossover" cable.

A cable wired the same at both ends is

called a "straight-through" cable, because

no pin/pair assignments are swapped.

NOTES: • Enhanced Skew-free A/V cable is not recommended for Ethernet/LAN

applications.

• This cable is specially designed for compatibility with Extron Twisted Pair

products, wired using the TIA/EIA 568 A standard.

• The green, brown, and blue pairs of this cable have virtually identical lengths

and should be used to transmit the video signals.

• The orange pair of this cable has a different length and should not be used

to transmit the video signals.

WARNING: The two power cord wires must be kept separate while the power

supply is plugged in. Remove power before wiring.

NOTES: • If the transmitter and receiver are either older generation units or jumper

configured to the stereo audio position (compatible with the older

units), only a single device needs to be powered in a two-unit system

(see “Signal Jumpers for Generational Compatibility” on page 3).

The device connected to the power supply, in turn, provides power to its

counterpart.

• If the transmitter and receiver are separated by greater than 200 feet

(61 meters) of STP/UTP/FTP cable, connect a power supply to both units.

This remote power application is only available in stereo mode, not mono

mode.

• Do not tin the stripped power supply leads before installing the captive

screw or direct insertion connector. Tinned wires could be pulled out

because they are not as secure in the captive screw and direct insertion

connectors.

CAUTIONS: • Power supply voltage polarity is critical. Incorrect voltage polarity can

damage the power supply and the MTP. Identify the power cord negative

lead by the ridges on the side of the cord (see

figure 19).

• The length of the exposed (stripped) copper wires is important. The

ideal length is 3/16 inches (5 mm). Longer bare wires can short together.

Shorter wires are not as secure in the captive screw connectors and

could be pulled out.

To verify the polarity before connection, plug in the power supply with no load and

check the output with a voltmeter.

Use the supplied tie-wrap to strap the power cord to the extended tail of the connector.

NOTE: Your transmitter/receiver pair may have shipped with a blue captive screw

connector. This blue connector can be plugged into either a blue or an

orange power receptacle.

The blue connector does not have an extended tail or the included tie-wrap.

Alternatively, an optional Extron PS 124 Universal 12 VDC Power Supply (part number

60-1022-01) can power multiple Extron 12 VDC devices using only one AC power

connector.
