The switcher can be operated remotely by any of the following when that device is connected to either MTPX Plus serial port: • A control system • A PC • An Extron MKP 2000 remote control panel • An Extron MKP 3000 remote control panel For some outputs (most matrix sizes) or all outputs (MTPX Plus 128), bidirectional pass- through RS-232 signals from a dedicated source (rather than from the selected input) can be directly inserted into the signal set routed to the TP output. You can even route

TP Cable Advantages Twisted pair cable is much smaller, lighter, more flexible, and less expensive than coaxial cable. These TP products make cable runs simpler and less cumbersome. Termination of the cable with RJ-45 connectors is simple, quick, and economical. CAUTION: Do not connect this device to a computer data or telecommunications network. Transmission distances The maximum distances are determined by the frequency and resolution of the video signal being routed and by which MTPX Plus

Skew equalization Skew exists between wire pairs when the physical length of one wire pair is different from another. Skew affects the displayed image when the differential length between wire pairs exceeds 2 feet. This causes the timing of the red, green, and blue video signals to appear out of alignment (horizontal registration errors). The signals transmitted on the shortest pair are shifted to the left if you are viewing white lines on a black background. A white vertical line on a blac

Switching flexibility — The switcher provides individually buffered, independent, matrix switched outputs with audio follow and audio breakaway. • Tie any input to any or all outputs. • Quick multiple tie — Multiple inputs can be switched to multiple outputs simultaneously. This allows all displays (outputs) to change from source to source at the same time. • Audio follow — Audio can be switched with its corresponding video input via front panel control or via serial port remote control. • A

LR LR c Audio Inputs (local audio) connectors — Connect balanced or unbalanced stereo audio inputs to these 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw connectors. Connectors are included with each switcher, but you must supply the audio cable. See figure 7 to wire a connector for the appropriate input type and impedance level. Use the supplied tie-wrap to strap the audio cable to the extended tail of the connector. High impedance is generally over 800 ohms. Tip Tip Sleeve Ring Sleeve (s) Tip Tip Sleev
