About this Guide
This guide contains installation, configuration, and operation information for
Extron MTP transmitters and receivers that are compatible with:
• Extron Enhanced Skew-Free
™
AV UTP cable
• Category (CAT) 5, 5e, and 6 shielded twisted pair (STP), unshielded twisted pair (UTP), or
foil shielded twisted pair (FTP) cable.
This guide details the installation and operation of the following products:
• MTP T 15HD RS twisted pair (TP) transmitter
• MTP RL 15HD RS receiver with loop-through
• MTP RL 15HD RS SEQ receiver with loop-through and skew equalization
In this guide:
• The term "transmitter" refers specifically to the MTP T 15HD RS transmitter.
• The term "receiver" refers to either of the receiver models — the MTP RL 15HD RS or
MTP RL 15HD RS SEQ.
• The term "SEQ receiver" refers specifically to the MTP RL 15HD RS SEQ receiver with
skew equalization capabilities.
About the MTP Transmitters and Receivers
The Extron MTP T 15HD RS transmitter and MTP RL 15HD RS and MTP RL 15HD RS SEQ
receivers are a system for long-distance distribution of VGA or other high resolution video
and RS-232 serial communications.
The MTPs are a part of the Extron compact line of basic distribution amplifiers, switchers,
transmitters, receivers, and associated video accessories.
High resolution video is sent to the MTP transmitter on a 15-pin HD connector. The
transmitter passes RS-232 serial data or control signals on a 3.5 mm 3-pin captive screw
connector. The transmitter converts the video and RS-232 signals to proprietary signals and
outputs them to the compatible MTP receiver on an RJ-45 connector. The transmitter also
makes the input video available for local use on a 15-pin HD connector.
The transmitted proprietary signal is sent to the receiver on an RJ-45 connector and converts
the signal back into its high resolution video and serial data components. The receiver
outputs the video on a 15-pin HD connector. The serial communications are passed on a
3.5 mm 3-pin captive screw connector.
