MLS 608 D Series • Setup Guide
The Extron MLS 608 D Series are eight input, multi-format AV switchers with ProDSP™ audio
and are able to integrate analog and digital sources. There are three models:
• MLS 608 D (with variable preamp output - no amplifier)
• MLS 608 D MA (with 40 watt 70 volt mono power amplifier)
• MLS 608 D SA (with 2 x 20 watt stereo power amplifier)
This guide allows you to easily and quickly setup and configure your MLS 608 D using step by step instructions. It covers performing
basic operations using the front panel controls and selected Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) commands.
It also gives connection information for the MTP HDMI U R twisted pair receiver, which is supplied with the MLS 608 D Series unit.
See rear cover for a diagram of a typical MLS 608 D application, showing the MLS 608 D SA model.
NOTE: For full installation, configuration, and operation details for all MLS 608 D models, see the MLS 608 D Series User Guide,
and for complete details on the MTP HDMI U R, see the MTP HDMI U R User Guide, both available at www.extron.com.
Rear Panel Features — MLS 608 D and MTP HDMI U R
NOTE:
The MLS 608 D SA, as shown below, is representative of the MLS 608 D Series. It has the maximum number and type of
connectors and features of the three models. The MLS 608 D model lacks the power amplifier output.

Twisted Pair (TP) Cable Transmission Distance
CAUTION: Do not connect the MTP cable to any LAN port, telecommunications network, or digital video output port. Likewise,
do not connect a LAN cable to any MTP or digital video output port.
There are different maximum distances for analog and digital signals.
Analog signals —
The maximum distance is determined by the frequency and resolution of the signal that is input to the MLS 608 D. The table below
specifies the recommended maximum transmission distances using Extron Enhanced Skew-Free™ A/V UTP cable or UTP CAT 5, 5e, or 6
cable, terminated with RJ-45 connectors.
NOTE: The transmission distance varies greatly depending on the signal resolution and on the type of cable, graphics card, and
display used in the system.

For any transmission distances beyond 350 feet (100 m), turn on the pre-peak function on the transmitting device (MTP transmitter).
Digital signals —
NOTES: • The transmission distance varies greatly depending on the signal resolution and on the type of cable, graphic
card, and display used in the system.
• DO NOT use Extron UTP23SF-4 Enhanced Skew-Free A/V cable to link the switcher digital output port and the
MTP/HDMI U R receiver. Use of this cable will cause problems with the digital signal input side of the receiver.
• For resolutions of 1600x1200, 1920x1200, and 1080p, Extron strongly recommends STP201 cable, or equivalent.
STP201 cable consists of four individually shielded copper pairs and an overall braided shield that help reduce
crosstalk and extend these resolutions up to 150 feet (45 m).
• It is important to ensure the cable from output 1 on the switcher (see page 1, h ) is connected to input 1 on the
receiver (see page 1,  ).
Likewise, output 2 on the switcher must be connected to input 2 on the receiver.

Image sharpness is adjusted with the front panel Peaking adjustment knob.
This applies only to the analog side of the device. Increased peaking compensates for mid- and high-frequency detail loss.
Minimum setting (full counterclockwise) is zero peaking. Image brightness is adjusted using the Level adjustment knob.
MTP/HDMI U R
NOTE: To avoid possible video loss due to errors in the video format detection, the user should always start with minimal level
and peaking, then increase values as required.
Adjusting level and peaking between the MLS 608 D and the receiver
1.
Connect an oscilloscope (preferred) or a monitor (acceptable) to the RGB output of the MTP/HDMI U R receiver.
2.
If using an oscilloscope, apply a white field test pattern to inputs 1, 2, or 3 on the MLS 608 D. The Extron VTG 300 or VTG 400 is
recommended to provide the test pattern.
3.
If using a monitor, apply a grayscale or color bars test pattern to the input.
NOTE: The signal applied should be an RGB signal.
4.
Observe the oscilloscope (or monitor) while you adjust the front panel input level and peaking controls to compensate for
signal loss between the MLS 608 D and the MTP/HDMI U R.
Setting level and peaking via software if using Input 4 on the MLS 608
Follow the steps 1 to 3 as given in “Adjusting level and peaking...” above. Then:
1.
Start the DSP Configurator software program and connect to your device. See page 7 for software installation details.
2.
Click View > Video I/O (or press <F4>); this changes
the window to the MLS workspace view. Double click
on the MTP on the input 4 (left) side of the workspace
view. The Input MTP Settings dialog box appears (see
image at right).
3.
Observe the oscilloscope (or monitor) and adjust the
level using the slider. Adjust the peaking by using the
up and down arrows. Disconnect test equipment when
finished.
Setting the Skew on the MLS 608 D
Adjusting output skew between the
MLS 608 D and the receiver:
1.
Connect an oscilloscope (preferred) or a monitor
(acceptable) to the RGB output on the MTP/HDMI U R.
2.
Apply a crosshatch test pattern to input 1, 2, or 3
on the MLS 608 D.
3.
Use the test equipment or examine the video image
with a critical eye to determine which video signal
(red, green, or blue) is most shifted to the left.
4.
Within the DSP Configurator program, click View > Video I/O (or press <F4>) to access the MLS workspace view. Double-click
MTP on the output (right) side of the workspace view. The Output MTP Settings dialog box appears (see image above).
5.
Adjust the furthest left video signal by using the up and down arrows for the relevant signal color, and repeat as needed until
all three colors are aligned correctly.
Adjusting input skew if using Input 4
Follow the steps 1 to 3 as given in “Output skew”, above. Then:
1.
Within the DSP Configurator program, click View > Video I/O (or press <F4>) to access the MLS workspace view.
Double-click MTP on the output (right) side of the workspace view. The Output MTP Settings dialog box appears.
2.
Adjust the furthest left video signal by using the up and down arrows for the relevant signal color, and repeat as needed until
all three colors are aligned correctly.
Selecting the MLS 608 D Output Prepeaking
1.
Click View > Video I/O (or press <F4>); this changes the window to the MLS workspace view. Double-click on the MTP on
the output (right) side of the workspace view. The Output MTP Settings dialog box appears.
2.
Toggle the Pre-peak box on or off as desired.
NOTE: For other video configurations, such as RGB delay or input video format swapping, see the DSP Configurator Help file.

NOTE: For operation details for all models, see the MLS 608 D Series User Guide, available at www.extron.com.
a Power/reset status LED — This LED lights green when power is applied, and amber when in standby mode. It also indicates
the reset mode when the reset button is being operated (see below).
b Reset button — In order to reset the MLS switcher to one of two available reset modes via the front panel, press and hold
this recessed button in and observe the LED for confirmation of unit resetting.
Reset Mode 1, Use factory firmware — To reset temporarily to the factory default firmware, press and hold the reset
button in while applying power to the unit.
NOTES: • After a Mode 1 reset, update the firmware to the latest version. DO NOT use the factory firmware resulting
from the reset. Factory firmware must be re-uploaded if that is the version to be used.
• If you do not want to update the firmware, recycling the power reinstates the firmware version used before
the Mode 1 reset.
Reset Mode 5, Reset to factory default — To reset the device to factory defaults (with the exception of the firmware),
press and hold in the reset button for approximately 9 seconds, until the LED blinks three times (once at 3 seconds,
6 seconds, and 9 seconds), and then release.
Within 1 second press and release the reset button once (<1 second). Nothing will happen if the momentary press
is not made within 1 second.
c Front panel mini USB configuration port — Connect a computer to this port, using a mini USB cable (not supplied), for
configuration, control, and firmware upgrades.
NOTE: For details of device configuration via software, SIS commands, and firmware updating for all models, see the
DSP Configurator Help file or the MLS 608 D Series User Guide, both available at www.extron.com.
d Source selection buttons — Use these buttons to select or switch between inputs. The button lights amber to indicate which
input is active.
e Program volume adjustment knob — Use this to set or adjust the program output
volume (attenuation, from -100 dB to 0 dB) as desired. The LEDs indicate the volume
level (all off at -100 dB, all on at -4 to 0 dB). Rotate the knob clockwise to increase
