The RS-232 portion of the twisted pair link:
• Can be bidirectional in a one-receiver system; that is, the receiver can receive commands
from the transmitter and pass RS-232 responses to the transmitter.
NOTE: By default, the RS-232 portion of the twisted pair link is unidirectional only
from the transmitter to the receiver. Use the internal jumpers in the receiver
to enable bidirectional communication in a single-receiver system only
(see "Pre-Installation — RS-232 Jumper" on page 5).
• Supports software flow control (XON, XOFF).
NOTE: Hardware flow control is not supported.
• Supports full duplex and half duplex operation.
• Supports any baud rate (up to 38,400), data bits, parity, stop bits, and data format
without configuration.
NOTE: Higher rates are possible, but performance will vary as a function of baud
rate and twisted pair cable length.
The receiver also buffers the proprietary input signal and sends it to another compatible MTP
receiver or to a daisy chain of receivers.
NOTES:
• The transmitter provides pre-peaking, which boosts the signal before it is transmitted.
The buffered output on the receiver does not provide any pre-peaking control. The
total recommended distance (see the table on page 4) for an entire daisy chain is the
same as for a single transmitter and receiver. The Pre-Peak switch on the transmitter
has the same effect on the recommended transmission distance for a daisy chain as
for a single transmitter and receiver.
• Up to eight receivers can be connected in series using the Buffered Output
connectors, provided that the total distance from the twisted pair output of the
transmitter to the last receiver in the chain does not exceed the recommended
distance for the resolution being used.
The SEQ receiver also corrects the skew delay commonly encountered when CAT 5, 5e, or 6
cables are used for RGB video, component video, and S-video transmission.
NOTE: An SEQ receiver should not be necessary when Extron Enhanced Skew-Free AV
UTP cable is used.
Each MTP transmitter and receiver model is shipped with an external desktop 12 VDC power
supply that accepts 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz input.
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.
