MTPX Series
MTP Twisted Pair Matrix Switchers for RGBHV, Video, Audio, and RS-232
coMMon FeATures
• Six models in sizes from 8x16 to 32x32
• Local high resolution video inputs and outputs — Accept input from local video
sources without the need for additional transmitters and receivers
• Local audio inputs and outputs — Support stereo audio sources and output
unbalanced line level mono audio for processing, or distribution
• Audio input gain and attenuation — Eliminates noticeable differences in volume when
switching between sources
• Local audio output volume adjustment and muting — Eliminates the need for
preamplifiers in many A/V systems
• Switchable video pre-peaking on 25% of the outputs — Provides additional
compensation for optimal performance on the longest cable runs
• QS-FPC ™ - QuickSwitch Front Panel Controller — A separate button for each input
and output, enables simple, intuitive operation
• Compatible with Extron MTP Series products — Works with all MTP Series
transmitters and receivers, including the MTP U Series Universal Mini Twisted Pair Receivers
• Front panel security lockout — Restricts access in unsecured environments

• Global presets — Allow you to set up I/O configurations and store them in memory for
future use
• RS-232 and RS-422 control — Enables switcher control and configuration via the
Extron Windows-based control program, or integration into a third-party control system
• Front panel configuration port — For convenient configuration access after
installation is complete
• Rack-mountable metal enclosure — All MTPX Series twisted pair matrix switchers
are housed in either 2U or 3U, full rack-width metal enclosures
• Internal international power supply — The 100-240VAC, 50/60 Hz, universal power
supply provides worldwide power compatibility
descriPTion
The Extron MTPX Series Twisted Pair Matrix Switchers offer an innovative feature set for
simplifying twisted pair A/V system integration. Local video and audio inputs and outputs enable
direct connection of equipment located within the same rack as the MTPX Matrix, eliminating
the need for additional MTP transmitters and receivers. Additional features include switchable
pre-peaking on a number of the outputs to drive signals long distances, audio input gain and
attenuation to balance audio levels, and output volume control for the local outputs.
When paired with Extron MTP U Series Universal Receivers, MTPX Series Twisted Pair Matrix
Switchers allow composite video, S-video, and VGA, along with audio or RS-232 control signals,
to be sent over a single CAT 5 cable and output on the appropriate connector at the display.
Using one cable for all signal types simplifies system wiring and uses only a single matrix
switcher output and MTP U Series receiver per display.
The powerful feature set in the MTPX Series Twisted Pair Matrix Switchers enables integrators to
greatly reduce installation time and costs associated with rack space, cabling, and installation,
when compared to traditional twisted pair matrix switching. MTPX Series matrix switchers are
ideal for command and control centers, classroom buildings, auditoriums, large entertainment
venues, and other video, audio, and control signal routing applications.
Local Video and Audio Inputs and Outputs
In traditional twisted pair matrix switching, each local source requires a transmitter, and any
local display, such as a rack-mounted monitor, requires a receiver. Integrating local devices
uses up valuable UTP inputs and outputs on the matrix switcher and adds to the overall cost
of the system.
Local video and audio inputs and outputs enable direct connection of equipment that is located
within the same rack as the MTPX Matrix Switcher. This greatly simplifies system complexity by
eliminating need for additional MTP Series transmitters and receivers.
Local Video and Audio Inputs: Each model features either three or six local inputs, depending
on size, for high resolution video and stereo audio via 15-pin HD connectors and captive
screw connectors. Each local input functions as a separate transmitter, converting the
incoming analog signals to an Extron proprietary signal for distribution through the matrix to
an MTP Series receiver. Output from these local inputs is compatible with MTP RL 15HD A,
MTP RL 15HD A SEQ, MTP U Series receivers and MTP AV Series.
Local Video Outputs: Smaller size MTPX and MTPX Plus models include one high resolution
video output and larger sizes include two. These outputs are on 15-pin HD connectors and follow
the UTP outputs. They are ideal for sending signals to a cueing monitor or videoconferencing
system in the equipment rack.
Local Audio Outputs: These captive screw connectors output balanced or unbalanced line level
mono audio. Each connector offers two identical mono audio outputs. There are either four or
eight local audio outputs on each model, depending on size, providing the ability to break away
audio for distribution to a rack-mounted amplifier or audio processor.
Video Output Pre-Peaking
In the MTPX Series, 25% of the UTP outputs feature switchable pre-peaking for optimizing
the video signal when needed. For example, the MTPX 816 features four UTP outputs with
pre-peaking capability, while on the MTPX 3232, eight of the UTP outputs feature pre-peaking
capability. The pre-peaking circuit provides additional compensation, which optimizes the output
video signals for longer cable runs.
Front Panel and Serial Control
All six MTPX Series models ship standard with the exclusive QS-FPC - QuickSwitch Front Panel
Controller, as well as RS-232/422 capability. The QS-FPC provides touch-of-a-button input
and output selection directly from the front panel. With an individual button for each input and
output, it is easy to configure, view, recall, and cancel I/O ties and presets, simplifying operation
and saving time and effort during installation.
