Extron electronic MTP 15HD Stereo Receiver User Manual


 
Transmission Distance
The maximum distance is determined by the frequency and resolution of the signal that
is input to the transmitter. The table on page 4 specifies the recommended maximum
transmission distances and transmitter Pre-Peak switch positions (see item
e
on page 9)
using Extron Enhanced Skew-Free AV UTP cable or CAT 5, 5e, or 6 cable, terminated with
RJ-45 connectors.
NOTES:
The transmitter and receiver are designed for and perform best with
Extron Enhanced Skew-Free AV UTP cable terminated in accordance with the TIA/EIA
T 568 A wiring standard. CAT 5, 5e, and 6 cables are acceptable, but less preferable.
We also recommend the use of pre-terminated and tested cables. Cables terminated
on site should be tested before use to ensure that they comply with Category 5
specifications.
The recommendations shown in the table on page 4 apply for a single transmitter
and receiver and for a daisy chain. For example, the maximum suggested range for
1024 x 768 video is 300 feet (90 m) with the Pre-Peak switch off and 500 feet
(150 m) with the Pre-Peak switch on, whether the system consists of one transmitter
and one receiver or a transmitter and three daisy-chained receivers.
Extron recommends using at least 25 feet of twisted pair cable between the
transmitter and the first receiver.
For daisy-chained units, the first receiver in the chain must be at least
100 feet (30 m) from the transmitter when the Pre-Peak switch 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.
An overpeaked image may appear bloomed.
