Introduction
About this Manual
This manual contains installation, configuration, and operating information for the
Extron MTPX Plus Twisted Pair (TP) Matrix Switchers.
About the MTPX Plus Twisted Pair Matrix Switchers
The MTPX Plus matrix switcher 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 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 to complex TP (figure 1-1) signal
routing applications. Each input and output is individually isolated and buffered,
and any input(s) can be switched to any one or all outputs with virtually no
crosstalk or signal noise between channels.
