The SEQ receiver also corrects the skew delay commonly encountered when CAT 5, 5e, 6, 7,
or STP201 cables are used for RGB video, component video, and S-video transmission.
NOTE: An SEQ receiver should not be necessary when Extron Enhanced Skew-Free A/V
UTP cable is used.
Each MTP transmitter and receiver model is shipped with an external desktop 12 VDC power
supply that accepts 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz input.
Twisted Pair Cable Advantages
Twisted pair cable is smaller, lighter, more flexible, and less expensive than coaxial cable.
Termination of the cable with RJ-45 connectors is simple, quick, and economical.
CAUTION: Do not connect these devices to a computer data or telecommunications
network.
Transmission Distance
The maximum distance is determined by the frequency and resolution of the signal that
is input to the transmitter. The
on page 4 specifies the recommended maximum
transmission distances and transmitter Pre-Peak switch positions (see
on page 10)
using Extron Enhanced Skew-Free A/V UTP cable, STP201 cable, or CAT 5, 5e, 6, or 7 cable,
terminated with RJ-45 connectors.
NOTES:
•
The non-C7 transmitter and receiver are designed for and perform best with
Extron Enhanced Skew-Free A/V UTP cable terminated in accordance with the
TIA/EIA T 568 A wiring standard. CAT 5, 5e, and 6 cables are acceptable
for the non-C7 models, 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 CAT 5 specifications.
•
The use of STP201 or CAT 7 cable has a negative effect on transmission
distance. STP201 or CAT 7 cable should only be used with C7 products.
•
Extron recommends using at least 25 feet of TP 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.
