Optimizing the Video

Each TP input has a level and peaking adjustment. Most MTP
transmitters and half of the MTPX Plus TP outputs have a pre-peaking
feature. TP inputs and outputs have skew adjustments. See the
following sections to set these adjustable features.

NOTE: Unless the TP cables are changed, these adjustments

should need to be made only once, during installation.

Before you start optimizing, set all input level and peaking, input and
output skew, and ouput pre-peak settings to either zero or off.

Setting the MTP transmitter Pre-Peak feature

For inputs from MTP T 15HD products only — If the cable between
the MTP transmitter and the MTPX Plus is 300 feet (91 m) or longer,
turn on the Pre-Peak switch on the transmitter. For shorter cables,
turn the switch off.
