About this Manual
This setup guide allows you to easily and quickly set up and configure your Extron MTPX
Plus Twisted Pair (TP) Matrix Switcher. Step-by-step instructions show you how to connect
the hardware and then use the physical controls, Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands,
the Matrix Switchers Control Program, and built-in HTML pages to optimize the video and
audio output for the best quality.
About the MTPX Plus Switchers
The MTPX Plus matrix switcher (see figure1) distributes signals that are compatible with the
Extron MTP and VTT/VTR product lines. The matrix switcher routes a TP input signal to any
combination of TP outputs. Depending on the MTP model, the routed TP signal can include
RGB or low resolution video and either mono audio or transmitter-to-receiver RS-232
serial communications. The matrix switcher can route multiple input/output configurations
simultaneously.

MTPX Plus Series Setup Guide • Introduction 2
NOTES:
• The receiver-to-transmitter serial communications and remote power capabilities
available with certain MTP models are not supported by this matrix switcher.
• For best results, use a cable length of at least 50 feet (15 m) between the TP inputs
and outputs and the transmitter and receiver.
The switcher inputs and outputs TP signals on RJ-45 connectors.
Three, four, or six (depending on the matrix size) 15-pin HD and 5-pole 3.5 mm direct
insertion input connectors are available for direct RGB (VGA) and stereo audio inputs
without an MTP transmitter.
NOTE: For most switchers, the available local inputs parallel the TP input of the same
number and either input can be used.
For the MTPX Plus 128, four inputs are local only and eight inputs are TP only.
Two, four, or eight (depending on the matrix size) 5-pole 3.5 mm captive screw ports are
available for direct mono audio outputs to an audio device without an MTP transmitter.
One or two (depending on the matrix size) 15-pin HD output connectors are available for
direct RGB (VGA) output to a video device without an MTP receiver.
NOTE:
• The direct input and direct output connectors can also support HD-YUV video, YUV
video, S-video, and composite video.
• For low resolution MTPs (S-video and composite video) on the TP inputs and
outputs, the MTPX Plus audio circuits are compatible only with the newer
generation, mono audio models. See the MTP transmitter/receiver manual to
determine which MTP models you have.
There are 4, 8, or 16 (depending on the matrix size) 3-pole 3.5 mm captive screw ports for
bidirectional RS-232 signal inserts. These signals, from a dedicated source (rather than from
the selected input), can be directly inserted into the signal set routed to the TP output.
The matrix switcher can be remotely controlled via an Ethernet LAN port, serial port, or USB
port (MTPX Plus 128 only) connection using either the Windows®-based Extron Matrix
Switchers Control Program or the Simple Instruction Set (SIS).

Twisted Pair (TP) Cable Transmission Distance
ATTENTION:
• Do not connect this device to a telecommunications or computer data network.
• Ne connectez pas cet appareil à un réseau de télécommunications ou de données
informatiques.
The maximum distance is determined by the frequency and resolution of the signal that is
input to the transmitter or to one of the local inputs of the matrix switcher. The table below
specifies the recommended maximum transmission distances using Extron Enhanced
Skew-Free A/V UTP cable or UTP CAT 5, 5e, or 6 cable, terminated with RJ-45 connectors.

maximum distance
For any transmission distances beyond 350 feet (100 m), turn on the Pre-Peak function
on the transmitting device (MTP transmitter or MTPX Plus). See the MTP Transmitter/
Receiver User Manual and the SIS table on Output pre-peaking on page19.
NOTE:
• The minimum TP cable length should be 25 feet (7.6 m).
• It is possible to exceed the recommended distance; however, image quality may be
reduced.
• The transmitters, receivers, and matrix switcher are designed for and perform best
with Extron Enhanced Skew-Free A/V cable terminated in accordance with the
TIA/EIA T 568 A wiring standard. CAT 5, 5e, and 6 cables are acceptable, but less
preferable. Extron also recommends the use of preterminated and tested cables.
Cables terminated on site should be tested before use to ensure that they comply
with Category 5 specifications.
• The recommendations shown on the preceeding page apply equally for a
transmission line consisting of a single transmitter, the switcher, and a receiver; and
for a transmision line that encompasses a transmission daisy chain. For example,
the maximum suggested range for 1024 x 768 video output by the switcher is
550 feet (168 m) with Pre-Peak on whether the transmission line consists of the
transmitter, switcher, and a single receiver or a transmitter, the switcher, and three
daisy-chained receivers.
• For daisy-chained units, the first receiver in the chain should be at least 50 feet
(15m) from the switcher when the Pre-Peak feature is on.
• For daisy-chained units, any receiver in the chain closer than 350 feet (105 m) may
experience some form of over-peaking when the Pre-Peak switch is on.
MTPX Plus Series Setup Guide • Introduction 4
TP Skew Equalization
Skew exists between wire pairs when the physical length of one wire pair is different from
another. Skew affects the displayed image when the difference in length between wire pairs
exceeds 2 feet. The difference in length causes the timing of the red, green, and blue video
signals to appear out of alignment (horizontal registration errors). The signals transmitted on
the shortest pair are shifted to the left if you are using white lines on a black background.
A white vertical line on a black field can appear as individual red, green, and blue lines that
are close together; the signal transmitted on the shortest wire pair leads the other colors
and appears to the left on the display. As the transmission cable length increases, the skew
effect increases.
The MTPX Plus input and output skew equalizer functions provide separate time delay
circuits on the red, green, and blue video lines. This allows you to properly align the red,
green, and blue video signals on the displayed image. When correctly set, the red, green,
or blue video signal on the shortest wire pair is delayed to properly converge the displayed
video image.
UTP cable test equipment measures and reports wire pair length. The report on the various
pair lengths can be used to properly equalize pair skew. If UTP cable test measurement
cannot be done, pair skew can still be equalized by viewing a crosshatch test pattern with a
critical eye.

• Matrix sizes 1616 and smaller (excluding the MTPX Plus 128) have one local
video output.
Matrix sizes 1632 and larger and the MTPX Plus 128 have two local video
outputs.
• The Local outputs are always outputs 1 and 2.
• The video that is output on these connectors is converted from the tied
proprietary TP input signal or the local (VGA) input.
• This connector can also output HD component video, component video,
S-video, or composite video if that is the video format that was input.
If the video output is NTSC component video, S-video, or composite video, set
the output to no sync processing (see Local video output sync polarity on
page19).

Setting the Front Panel Locks (Executive Modes)
The matrix switcher has three levels of front panel security lock that limit the operation of the
switcher from the front panel. The three levels are:
• Lock mode 0 — The front panel is completely unlocked.
• Lock mode 1 — All changes are locked from the front panel (except for setting Lock
mode 2). Some functions can be viewed.
• Lock mode 2 — Basic functions are unlocked. Advanced functions are locked and can
be viewed only.
Basic functions consist of:
• Making ties
• Saving and recalling presets
• Setting input audio gain and attenuation
• Changing Lock modes
Advanced functions consist of:
• Setting audio output mutes
• Setting audio output volume
• Setting audio/RS-232 wire pair and front panel configuration
NOTE: The switcher is shipped from the factory in Lock mode 2.
