About the MTP Transmitters and Receivers
The Extron MTP transmitters and receivers provide a system for
long-distance distribution of NTSC, PAL, or SECAM video and
audio over Extron’s Enhanced Skew-Free™ A/V UTP cable or
over Category (CAT) 5 shielded twisted pair (STP), unshielded
twisted pair (UTP), or foil shielded twisted pair (FTP) cable.
The MTPs are a part of the Extron VersaTools
®
line of basic
distribution amplifiers, switchers, transmitters, receivers, and
associated video accessories.
The MTP transmitters input and the receivers output S-video
[luminance (Y) and chrominance (C)] or composite video.
Audio versions are available that input and output either
balanced or unbalanced audio on captive screw connectors or
unbalanced audio on RCA connectors.
Each transmitter requires a compatible receiver. The table on
the next page shows the video and audio capabilities of each
model, the transmitter/receiver compatibility, Architectural
Adapter Plate (AAP) mountability, and 45 mm plate
mountability.
The MTPs ship with external desktop 12 V power supplies that
accept 100 to 240 VAC, 50 Hz or 60 Hz input. A single power
supply connected to either the transmitter or receiver can power
both units if there is less than 500 feet (150 meters) of STP/
UTP/FTP cable between the two.
TP Cable Advantages
Twisted pair (TP) 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.
Transmission Distance
Extron suggests a minimum transmission distance of at least
50 feet. The maximum transmission distance, using Enhanced
Skew-Free A/V UTP cable or UTP CAT 5 cable, terminated with
CAT 5 rated connectors, is 1000 feet.
It is possible to exceed the recommended distance,
however, image quality may be reduced.

The transmitters and receivers are designed for and
perform best with Extron Enhanced Skew-Free A/V
cable. CAT 5 cables are acceptable, but are less
preferable. We also recommend the use of preterminated
and tested cables when possible. Cables terminated on
site should be tested before use to ensure that they
comply with Category 5 specifications.
•
The video portion of any S-video transmitter’s
output is compatible with any S-video receiver in
the MTP family.
•
The video portion of any composite video
transmitter’s output is compatible with any
composite video receiver in the MTP family.
•
The audio portion of any audio transmitter’s
output, whether it is equipped with either captive
screw or RCA input connectors, is compatible with
any audio receiver in the MTP family.
