Extron Electronics MTPX Plus 6400 Series User Guide - Manual (Page 14)

The MTPX Plus has a skew equalizer function that is available using SIS, the Windows-based
control program, or built-in HTML page control. The skew function provides separate time
delay circuits on the red, green, and blue video lines on the inputs and the outputs. Each
time delay circuit can be independently adjusted, from 0 to 62 nanoseconds, 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 test pattern with a critical eye.
Examine the test pattern for loss of horizontal registration and, through a process of trial
and error, equalize any pair skew.
Features
Twisted pair inputs and outputs — The switchers input and output TP signals on female
RJ-45 connectors.
NOTE: For low resolution MTPs (S-video and composite video) on the TP inputs, the
MTPX Plus audio circuits are compatible only with the newer generation, mono
audio models. See your MTP transmitter/ receiver and refer to the associated
manual to determine which MTP models you have.
Local video inputs and outputs — The switchers directly input and output RGBHV or
RGBS (VGA) video on 15-pin HD connectors. They can also input and output RGsB, RsGsBs,
component/HDTV, S-video, or composite video.
Local audio inputs — The switchers directly input balanced or unbalanced stereo audio on
3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw terminals.
Local audio outputs — The switchers directly output balanced or unbalanced stereo mono
on 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw terminals.
Audio input gain/attenuation — The volume of each audio input can be adjusted so
there are no noticeable volume differences between sources. You can set the input level of
audio gain or attenuation (-18 dB to +24 dB) via the front panel or via serial port control.
Audio output volume — The volume of each audio signal that is output on the 5-pole,
3.5 mm captive screw input connectors can be displayed and adjusted through a range of
full output to complete silence. Adjustments can be made from the front panel or remote
control.
Switching flexibility — The switcher provides individually buffered, independent, matrix
switched outputs with audio follow and audio breakaway.
z z Tie any input to any or all outputs.
z z Quick multiple tie — Multiple inputs can be switched to multiple outputs
simultaneously. This allows all displays (outputs) to change from source to source at the
same time.
z z Audio follow — Audio can be switched with its corresponding video input via front
panel control or via serial port remote control.
z z Audio breakaway — Audio can be broken away from its corresponding video signal.
This feature allows any audio signal to be tied to one or all outputs in any combination
with or without an accompanying video signal. Audio breakaway switching can be
done via front panel control or via serial port remote control.
