About this Guide
NOTE: Throughout this guide all models are referred to as "MTPX Plus matrix
switchers" unless a significant difference is noted in their input and output
matrix size.
This manual contains installation, configuration, and operating information for the Extron
MTPX Plus 6400 Series MTP Twisted Pair Matrix Switchers (see
on the next page).
About the Matrix Switchers
The MTPX Plus matrix switchers distribute signals that are compatible with the Extron MTP
and VTT/VTR product lines. The matrix switcher routes a twisted pair (TP) or video input
signal to any combination of TP or video outputs. Depending on the MTP model, the routed
TP signal can include RGB or low resolution video and either mono audio or transmitter-to-
receiver RS-232 serial communications. The matrix switcher can route multiple input/output
configurations simultaneously.
NOTE: The receiver-to-transmitter serial communications and remote power capabilities
available with certain MTP models are not supported by this matrix switcher.
The matrix switcher is a single box solution (see
, on the next page) to complex
TP and video signal routing applications. Each input and output is individually isolated and
buffered. Any input can be switched to any one or all outputs with virtually no crosstalk
or signal noise between channels. Multiple ties between inputs and outputs can exist
simultaneously
The MTPX Plus series are available in a variety of matrix sizes (the matrix size is the number
of inputs and outputs):

The MTPX Plus switchers input and output TP signals on RJ-45 connectors. A pre-peaking
feature on the TP outputs allows you to boost the transmission distance of the output signal.
