Installation
1. Select an open slot at the rear, or take out a blank plate or installed board by
loosening the two screws (top and bottom), and lifting it away.
2. Hold the new board with the signal connectors towards you and the LED at
the top. Carefully slide the board into the slot, aligning the two tabs on the
lower front end of the board with the matching ports in the enclosure.
Push it firmly into place.
3. Tighten the screws to secure the board in place. If needed, repeat steps 1
through 3 for other boards.
4. If power has been removed, reconnect and power on the PowerCage. The new
board is auto-detected. The LED on the board lights green when power is applied.
5. MTP T 15HD RSA board — Connect RGB, HD-YUV, YUV, S-video, or composite
video inputs to the 15-pin HD VGA connector.
MTP R 15HD RSA SEQ board — Connect suitable display devices to the 15-pin HD VGA connector for RGBHV, RGBS,
RGsB, RsGsBs, HD-YUV, YUV, S-video, or composite video output.
6. MTP T 15HD RSA board — Connect an audio input source to the 5-pole captive screw connector. Wire the captive screw
connector as shown below. Use the supplied tie-wrap to secure the audio cable to the connector.

MTP R 15HD RSA SEQ board — On this board, there is a combined audio and RS-232 output connector. Wire and insert
a 5-pole captive screw connector for mono audio and/or RS-232 serial output. Wire the connector as below.

7. MTP T 15HD RSA board — Connect the transmitter to a suitable MTP receiver via
the RJ-45 output connector.
MTP R 15HD RSA SEQ board — Connect the twisted pair cable from the transmitter
to the RJ-45 input connector.
NOTE: Terminate the twisted pair cable as shown right, using the same
standard (TIA 568A or TIA 568B) at both ends.
8. MTP T 15HD RSA only — Connect to the 3-pole captive screw connector
for bi- or unidirectional RS-232 communication. The RS-232 function is only available by
setting the DIP switch on the board from audio to RS-232 communication. The default
is audio.

PowerCage MTP T 15HD RSA (transmitter) and MPT R 15HD RSA SEQ
(receiver) boards are twisted pair transmitters and receivers in a modular board
format for the PowerCage 1600 enclosure.
Refer to the PowerCage MTP 15HD RSA Series User Guide, and the
PowerCage 1600 Enclosure User Guide, online at www.extron.com.
NOTE: The hot-swappable, modular design allows the replacing or
upgrading of boards in the field at any time, without having to
power down the system

NOTE: The receiver auto-detects whether the
signal on the audio/RS-232 pair of the TP
input is audio or RS-232. It then converts
the signal content accordingly, and
outputs it on the appropriate pins of the
connector.
