Installation Overview
To install and set up a TP receiver and the associated TP
transmitter(s) for operation, perform the following steps:
1
Disconnect power from all of the equipment, including the
video source(s) (such as computers or DVD players), the
transmitter, the receiver, and the output display(s).
2
For component, S-video, or composite video, ensure that
the internal jumpers (TP R BNC A and TP R BNC AV) or
external DIP switch (TP R 15HD A) are in the correct
position. See
Video jumpers
or
Video DIP switch
in this
chapter.

TP R BNC AV
and
TP R AV only
—
If desired
, configure
the audio jumpers to make the receiver compatible with
unmodified TP transmitters. See
Audio jumpers
in this
chapter.
The TP R BNC AV and TP R AV are redesigned
(modified) receivers. The audio jumpers configure the
audio portion of the composite video TP link to work
with either similarly redesigned TP T 15HD AV and
TP T AV transmitters or with older, unmodified
transmitters. Redesigned receivers and transmitters
have an identifying label.
4
Mount the receiver in a rack (all except TP R AV) (the
TP R 15HD A can be mounted in a standard rack or in a
VersaTools rack), under a desk or podium, in a desk or
table (all except TP R 15HD A), or on a projector bracket.
See
Mounting the receiver
in this chapter.
5
Connect the cable(s) between the TP transmitter(s) and the
receiver. See
Transmitted signal cabling
in this chapter and
refer to the
TP Transmitters Family User’s Manual
, part
#68-546-01.
6
Connect the output cables. See
Output cabling
in this
chapter.
7
Configure the TP transmitter(s). Refer to the
TP
Transmitters Family User’s Manual
, part #68-546-01.
8
Connect power cords to the TP receiver, the TP
transmitter, and turn on the video source(s) and the
output display(s).
2-2
All TP transmitters include a 15V external power
supply. The transmitters also receive power from the
associated Extron TP receiver(s) (with the exception of
the TP R 15HD A) via the TP cable. Extron
recommends using the local power supply; however, the
power supply may not be necessary in some applications.
Use the following guidelines:
•
The TP T 15HD A, TP T 15HD AV, and
TP T BNC may not require a local power supply for
cable lengths of 300 feet or less.
•
The TP T AV may not require a local power supply
for cable lengths of 800 feet or less.
•
The TP T BNC DA4 and any transmitter
connected to a TP R 15HD A always require the
local power supply.
If problems are encountered, use the local power supply.
9
Adjust the picture controls on the transmitter(s) and the
receiver. See
Controls and Indicators
in this chapter and
refer to the
TP Transmitters Family User’s Manual
, part
#68-546-01.
Video jumpers
The TP R BNC A and TP R BNC AV receivers can be configured
to receive component video, S-video, or composite video.
The receivers are factory configured for RGB video. To
receive any other type of video, reconfigure the jumpers.
