This setup guide allows you to easily and quickly set up
and configure your Extron MTPX Twisted Pair (TP) Matrix
Switcher. Step by step instructions show you how to connect
the hardware, and then use the physical controls and the Matrix
Switchers Control Program to optimize the video and audio
output for the best quality.
About the MTPX Switchers
The MTPX matrix switcher (figure 1-1) distributes signals that
are compatible with the Extron MTP and VTT/VTR product
lines. The matrix switcher routes a TP input signal to any
combination of TP 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.

N The transmitters, receivers, and matrix switcher are
designed for and perform best with Extron Enhanced
Skew-Free A/V cable terminated in accordance with
the TIA/EIA T 568 A wiring standard. CAT 5, 5e,
and 6 cables are acceptable, but less preferable. We also
recommend the use of preterminated and tested cables.
Cables terminated on site should be tested before use to
ensure that they comply with Category 5 specifications.
N The recommendations shown on the preceeding page
apply equally for a transmission line consisting of a
single transmitter, the switcher, and receiver; and for a
transmision line that encompass a transmission daisy
chain. For example, the maximum suggested range for
1024 x 768 video is 350’ (100 m) with Pre-Peak off and
400’ (120 m) with Pre-Peak on whether the transmission
line consists of the transmitter, switcher, and a single
receiver or a transmitter, the switcher, and three daisychained receivers.
N For daisy-chained units, the first receiver in the chain
should be at least 50’ (15 m) from the switcher when the
Pre-Peak feature is on.
N For daisy-chained units, any receiver in the chain closer
than 350’ (105 m) may experience some form of overpeaking when the Pre-Peak switch is on.
N For any transmission distances above 350' (100 m), turn
on the transmitting device's (MTP transmitter or MTPX)
prepeak function. See the MTP Transmitter/Receiver
User's Manual and/or the Output Pre-Peaking SIS
commands on page 4-4.
N Resolutions marked with an asterisk (*) in these tables
have the same range specifications at 75 Hz.
N The minimum TP cable length should be 50' (15m).
N It is possible to exceed the recommended distance; however,
image quality may be reduced.
N The MTPX output can be extended by 50 feet (15 m) for
those outputs that have a Pre-Peak feature that is turned on.

Selected SIS™ Commands
The switchers have Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) commands that
you can use for operation and configuration. You can run these
commands from a PC connected to either of the switcher’s serial
ports. See h and j, on page 2-5, for connection information.
Host-to-switcher instructions
The switcher accepts SIS (Simple Instruction Set) commands
through either serial port. SIS commands consist of one or more
characters per command field. They do not require any special
characters to begin or end the command character sequence.
Each switcher response to an SIS command ends with a carriage
return and a line feed (CR/LF = ]), which signals the end of
the response character string. A string is one or more characters.
N The table that begins on the next page is a partial list
of SIS commands. For a complete listing, refer to the

Installing and Starting the Control Program
Another way to operate the switcher, to set the skew
adjustments, the level and peaking, and the output pre-peaking
(see "Optimizing the video", beginning on page 4-12), is via
the Windows®-based Matrix Switchers Control Program. This
program is contained on the Extron Software Products CD-ROM
(included with the switcher). Run this program on a PC
connected to either of the switcher’s serial ports. See h and j,
on page 2-5, for connection information. The program must be
installed on a Windows-based computer and cannot be run from
the CD-ROM.
N For details on operating the program, refer to the

Optimizing the video
Most MTP transmitters and half of the MTPX TP outpust have a
pre-peaking feature. Many MTP receivers have level/peaking
and skew adjustments. Set these features as follows for the best
image quality:
1.
For inputs from MTP T 15HD products only — If the
cable between the MTP transmitter and the MTPX Plus
is > 300', turn the transmitter’s Pre-Peak switch on. For
shorter cables, turn the switch off.
2.
For outputs — If the cable between the MTPX and the
receiver is > 300', turn the MTPX’s Pre-Peak feature on.
For shorter cables, turn the feature off. Set the feature as
follows:
a. In the Matrix Switchers Control Program, click Tools >
MTPX Config settings and then check or uncheck the
appropriate Pre-Peaking box.
N MTPX Pre-Peak is available on the first half of the MTPX
Plus outputs (for example outputs 1 through 4 for an
MTPX Plus 168.
N Unless the TP cable lengths are changed, these settings
should need to be made only once, during installation.

If level/peaking and skew adjustments are available on
the connected receiver(s), set them in accordance with the
applicable MTP product manual.
