- MTP 1500RL 15HD A SEQ mini twisted pair receiver with audio and skew equalization
- MTP 1500RL 15HD A mini twisted pair receiver with audio
The following terms are applicable in this manual:
- “Transmitter” refers specifically to the MTP transmitter.
- "Receiver" refers to either MTP 1500RL 15HD A model covered in this guide.
- “SEQ receiver” refers specifically to the MTP 1500RL 15HD A SEQ receiver with skew equalization.
About the MTP 1500RL 15HD A Series Receivers
The Extron MTP 1500RL 15HD A SEQ and MTP 1500RL 15HD A receivers are for long distance distribution of RGB, component (bi-level or tri-level sync), S-video, or composite video signals and audio over twisted pair cables.
The MTP 1500RL 15HD A series is a half rack size line of basic twisted pair receivers that are fully compatible with all MTP transmitters, distribution amplifiers, matrix switchers and associated video accessories. When used with any of the Extron MTP transmitter models, the video can be transmitted over an extended distance or over current standard distances.
The MTP 1500RL 15HD A models receive signals up to UXGA, HD component video (including 1080p), standard component, S-video, bi-level or tri-level component video, and high resolution RGB video) on an RJ-45 connector over Extron 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 receiver outputs multiple RGB formats, composite video, S-video and component video on the 15-pin HD connector, according to the current DIP switch settings.
NOTE: The MTP 1500RL 15HD series of receivers cannot be used with VTT or TP transmitters.
The receivers ship with external desktop 12 V, 1 A power supplies that accept 100 to 240 VAC, 50 Hz to 60 Hz input.
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, and termination with RJ-45 connectors is simple, quick, and economical.
Transmission Distance
The maximum distance is determined by the frequency and resolution of the signal transmitted. The table below specifies the maximum transmission distances and transmitter Pre-peak switch positions using Extron Enhanced Skew-Free A/V UTP cable or UTP CAT cable, terminated with RJ-45 connectors.
| Video format Pre-peak off Pre-peak on Maximum distance (feet) | ||

- The receiver being configured is the last receiver in a daisy-chained system.
Power Supply Wiring
Figure 4 shows how to wire the connector. Insert the wired plug into the power connector on the rear panel. Do not power on the device at this time.

Figure 4. Power Connector Wiring
CAUTION:
ATTENTION :
- The wires must be kept separate while the power supply is plugged in. Remove power before wiring.
- Les deux cordons d'alimentation doivent être maintenus séparés lorsque la source d'alimentation est branchée. Coupez l'alimentation avant d'effectuer un raccordement.
-
The length of exposed wires is important. The ideal length is 3/16 inch (5 mm).
-
Any longer and the exposed wires may touch, causing a short circuit between them.
- Any shorter and the wires can be easily pulled out even if tightly fastened by the captive screws.
To verify the polarity before connection, plug in the power supply with no load and check the output with a voltmeter.
As an alternative, an Extron PS 124 Multiple Output 12 Volt DC Power Supply can power multiple MTPs or other Extron 12 VDC devices using only one AC power connector.
TP Cable Termination
ATTENTION:
NOTE: RJ-45 termination must comply with TIA/EIA T568A or TIA/EIA T568B wiring standards for all connections.
Figure 5 details the TIA/EIA-T568B or TIA/EIA T568B wiring standards. Use this standard to terminate the DTP cable with RJ-45 connectors.

Front Panel Controls and Indicators
Figure 6 shows the front panel features on the MTP 1500RL 15HD A SEQ. The MTP 1500RL 15HD A is similar but without the Delay controls (items D through F) on the next page.

Figure 6. MTP receiver series front panels
Power LED — Indicates power is applied to the receiver.
B Level control — Alters the video output voltage to affect the brightness of the displayed image. Adjust the knob while viewing the displayed image to set the level and boost that provides the best picture quality. See Peaking and Level Adjustment on the next page for details.
Peaking control — Affects the sharpness of a picture. Increased peaking can compensate for mid- and high-frequency detail loss from low bandwidth system components or capacitance in long cables.
Adjust this control while viewing the displayed image to obtain the optimum picture sharpness. The LED lights red when at the minimum (zero) and maximum (100%) peaking settings. See Peaking and Level Adjustment for details.
NOTE: To avoid possible video loss due to errors in the format detection, the user should always start with minimal peaking and level, then only increase values as required.
D Select button (SEQ receiver only, see the previous page) — This recessed button selects the red, green, or blue video signal to adjust and resets all three video signals to a skew delay of zero nanoseconds.
Use a Tweeker to press and release this button to cycle and select the red, green, or blue video signal to adjust. The selected signal is indicated by the Red, Green, and Blue LEDs (E).
NOTE: The SEQ receiver automatically saves the setting for the video signal that is being deselected when this button is pushed or when the selection times out after 10 seconds.
Press and hold the button in for approximately 3 seconds to zero the skew delay for red, green, and blue. The Red, Green, and Blue LEDS (E) all turn off. Release the button.
E R(ed), G(reen), and B(lue) LEDs (SEQ receiver only) — These indicate the video signal that is selected by the Select button (b) for skew adjustment using the Adjust control (F). The LED for the selected color flashes when the skew compensation for that color's video signal has reached the minimum or maximum limit.
F Adjust skew control (SEQ receiver only) — This control delays the selected red, green, or blue video signal by up to a maximum of 62 nanoseconds (ns), in 2 ns incremental steps. Rotate the control counterclockwise to reduce the delay or clockwise to increase the delay. See Skew Delay Compensation on the next page for details.
NOTE: The movement of the Adjust control is smooth; it does not have mechanical steps or high- and low-limit stops.
Watch the displayed image to observe the steps of delay.
For best performance the skew of the most delayed signal should be set to 0 ns (min.) and the other two signals adjusted to meet it.
Peaking and Level Adjustment
For best performance and video format detection, the equalization of the MTP receiver should be adjusted properly.
To achieve this do the following:
- Terminate the green video signal output with a 75 ohm resistance, and measure the video signal.
NOTE: Gain adjustment should be set so that a white field video signal is +0.7 volts from the ground level.
Peaking adjustment should be set using the highest frequency video format signal for the system in RGB, component video, or S-video.
- Using an alternative black/white pattern, adjust the peaking so that the video signal matches that of the white field video. This equalizes both the low frequency (white field) and the high frequency (alternating black/white field) to the same video level for best results. Do not over-peak the signal.
Skew Delay Compensation
CAT cable can lead to registration errors between the red, green, and blue video signals. Pair skew can be measured with test equipment or identified by viewing a crosshatch test pattern with a critical eye to determine if either the red, green, or blue video image leads (appears to the left of) the other two video images.
NOTE: Unless the TP cable is changed, the skew adjustment should only need to be made once, during installation..
SEQ receiver skew compensation
The SEQ receiver has built-in skew compensation capabilities. Adjust the equalization as follows:
- Zero the skew delay for red, green, and blue as follows:
a. Use a Tweeker or other small screwdriver to press and hold the Select button for 3 seconds. The Red, Green, and Blue LEDS all go out.
b. Release the Select button.
- Use UTP cable test equipment or examine the displayed video image with a critical eye to determine which video signal, red, green, or blue, is shifted furthest to the right.
NOTE: A crosshatch test pattern or a black background with vertical white lines is ideal for determining skew.
- Adjust the furthest left video signal as follows:
NOTE: The SEQ receiver cannot shift the furthest right video image to the left.
a. Use a Tweeker or other small screwdriver to press and release the Select button until the LED for the left-shifted color (Red, Green, or Blue) lights.
b. Slowly rotate the Adjust control clockwise while monitoring the display. Continue to rotate the control until that color is properly converged.
NOTE: A 2-nanosecond (ns) adjustment is very fine. Up to 10 ns of delay may be necessary before a change in the display is detectable. Maximum delay possible is 62 nanoseconds.
c. Use a Tweeker or other small screwdriver to press the Select button one more time to save the most recent adjustment or allow the 10-second timeout to elapse.
- If the remaining color is left shifted, repeat step 3.
Non-SEQ receivers skew compensation
Try using the following methods to minimize or eliminate pair skew:
- Switch to Extron Enhanced Skew-Free A/V UTP cable.
- Add a skew compensation cable equal to the length of pair skew to the receiver's output.
- Install an Extron SEQ 100 15HD Skew Equalizer on the video output of the receiver and adjust the skew for the leading video image.
Mounting the Receiver
ATTENTION:
The 1-inch high, half rack width receiver can be placed on a table, mounted in a rack, or mounted under a desk or table.
Tabletop Use
Affix the included rubber feet to the bottom of the unit and place it in any convenient location.
Mounting kits
Mount the unit using any optional compatible mounting kit listed on the Extron website (www.extron.com), in accordance with the directions included with the kit. For rack mounting, see "UL Rack-Mounting Guidelines".
UL Rack-Mounting Guidelines
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirements pertain to the installation of the unit into a rack.
- Elevated operating ambient temperature — If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consider installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (TMA = +122 °F, +50 °C) specified by Extron.
- Reduced air flow — Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
- Mechanical loading — Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
- Circuit overloading — Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
- Reliable earthing (grounding) — Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (such as use of power strips).
