Optimizing the video
Each TP input has a level and peaking adjustment. Most MTP transmitters and half of
the MTPX Plus TP outputs have a pre-peaking feature. TP inputs and outputs have skew
adjustments. See the following sections to set these adjustable features.
NOTE: Unless the TP cables are changed, these adjustments should need to be made
only once, during installation.
Before you start optimizing , set all input level and peaking, input and output skew, and
ouput Pre-Peak settings to either zero or off.
Setting the MTP transmitter Pre-Peak feature
For inputs from MTP T 15HD products only — If the cable between the MTP transmitter
and the MTPX Plus is 300 feet (91 m) or longer, turn on the Pre-Peak switch on the
transmitter. For shorter cables, turn the switch off.
Setting MTPX level and peaking using the MTP signal generator
The simplest and surest way to set the input level and peaking is to use the included MTP
signal generator and the Auto-calibration utility within the Matrix Switchers Control Program
as follows:
NOTE: To manually set the input level and peaking, see Manually Setting the MTPX
Level and Peaking on page 26.
1. Disconnect the power and RJ-45 cables at the MTP transmitter that is connected to
the MTPX Plus input to be adjusted.
2. Connect the two cables to the included MTP signal generator.
