About the PowerCage MTP 15HD RSA Transmitters and Receivers
The Extron PowerCage MTP 15HD RSA transmitters and receivers are modular board-
designed MTP Twisted Pair boards that are exclusively for use in Extron PowerCage 1600
enclosure. They can be used with any CAT 5, 5e, or 6, or with Extron Enhanced Skew-Free™
A/V UTP cable, and are compatible with all MTP products.
The PowerCage MTP 15HD RSA transmitters and receivers must be installed in an Extron
PowerCage enclosure.
NOTE: To mount and install the Extron PowerCage, refer to the guide supplied with the
The PowerCage MTP 15HD RSA transmitters and receivers boards are as follows:
•
PowerCage MTP T 15HD RSA transmitter — This board supports RGB, HD-YUV, YUV,
S-video and composite video on a 15-pin HD VGA connector, and audio on a 5-pole
captive screw connector. The output to a compatible MTP receiver is made over twisted
pair cabling (CAT 5, 5e, 6, or Enhanced Skew-Free UTP cable) via the RJ-45 connector.
There is a 3-pole, captive screw connector for RS-232 communication.
A 2-pole DIP switch on the board allows the user (using switch #2) to select between
RS-232 and audio transmission (default setting is audio).
NOTE: See the “Board Setup and Operation” section, for details of how to access
and set the DIP switches.

The transmitter board also features EDID emulation, whereby the correct refresh rate
and resolution is applied to the incoming computer signal, ensuring a proper image
output display.
Two DIP switches on the board allows the user to set the refresh rate to 50 or 60 Hz
(default is 60 Hz) using switch #1. The second switch controls the RS-232/audio setting.
The resolution is selected by turning the 16-position rotary encoder to the desired
setting. The default setting is 1024x768.
NOTE: The EDID encoder and DIP switch combination point to pre-stored EDID
information block to send to the RGB input. See the “Board Setup and
Operation” section for a table of settings, and details of how to access set
the switches and encoder.
In addition, a toggle switch on the rear panel is available to turn the pre-peaking on or
off. When turned on, pre-peaking boosts signal transmission distance.
The rear panel has an LED that lights green when power is applied to the board.
•
PowerCage MTP R 15HD RSA SEQ receiver — This board supports RGB, HD-YUV,
YUV, S-video and composite video outputs on a 15-pin HD VGA connector, and audio or
RS-232 on a 5-pole captive screw connector.
The input from a compatible MTP transmitter is made over twisted pair cabling via the
RJ-45 connector.
This board has a level, peaking, and skew adjustment feature. When adjustment is
necessary, the selection between skew, level, and peaking is made via a recessed button.
The single digital encoder is used to adjust each individual setting (red skew, green skew,
blue skew, level and peaking) as needed.
Four DIP switches on the board allow the user to set the horizontal sync (switch #1),
vertical sync (switch #2), bi- or unidirectional RS-232 communication (switch #3), and
routing S-video (switch #4). Switches 5 and 6 are not used.
The rear panel also has an LED that lights green when power is applied to the board.
NOTE: For full operating details, see the “Installation and Operation” section, in
this guide.

Board Setup and Operation
On the MTP T 15HD RSA board there are two DIP switches (switch #1 is for refresh rate,
switch #2 is for audio/RS-232), and a 16-position rotary encoder for EDID selection.
The factory set defaults for these are:
•
•
•
DIP switch #1 is 60 Hz (down)
DIP switch #2 is audio (down)
EDID encoder is 1024x768 (position 2)
On the MTP R 15HD RSA SEQ board there are four active DIP switches. These are:
switch #1 = Horizontal sync, switch #2 = Vertical sync, switch 3 = RS-232 communication,
switch #4 = S-video chroma routing, switch #5 = not used, switch #6 = not used.
The factory default settings for these are:
•
•
•
•
•
DIP switch #1 is H– (down)
DIP switch #2 is V– (down)
DIP switch #3 is unidirectional RS-232 (down)
DIP switch #4 is MTP compatible (down)
DIP switch #5 and #6 not used (down)
For both boards, access to the DIP switches and encoder is via a cut-out in the cover. If the
settings need to be changed from the default setting, they should be set before the board
is installed.
Alternatively, if changes are to be made after a board is installed, the board should be
removed from the PowerCage by loosening the top and bottom retaining screws and
carefully pulling the board out of its slot.

1. To change either horizontal or vertical sync to positive, flip DIP switches 1 or 2
to up/on.
2. To change the RS-232 from unidirectional to bidirectional, flip DIP switch 3 to up/on.
3. To change signal routing for S-video signals, flip DIP switch 4 to up/on.
NOTE: The fourth DIP switch is used for S-video routing of the chroma signal to the
blue channel. When the switch is up (on) position (green = luma,
blue = chroma), S-video is compatible with the Extron Signal Processing
Products line, (for example DVS 304).
When the switch is down (off), the signal follows the MTP standard and is
output on the green and red channels of the VGA.
Switches 5 and 6 are not used.
Skew, Level, and Peaking Adjustments
On the rear panel of the MTP R 15HD RSA SEQ board are three colored LEDs, a recessed
select button, and an Adjust knob. These work in conjunction to allow the user to make
adjustments to image skew delay, level, and peaking.
The select button allows the user to select any of the three individual functions for
adjustment. When the select button is pressed a set number of times, the LED’s indicate
the current function. Press the select button as follows:

with the color furthest right.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the remaining color until all three colors are converged.
For Level Adjustment.
1. Press the select button four times to enter the level function. The green LED blinks.
2. View the image critically and rotate the adjust knob to increase or decrease the
brightness of the displayed image.
For Peaking Adjustment.
1. Press the select button five times to enter the level function. The blue LED blinks.
2. View the image critically and rotate the adjust knob to increase or decrease the
sharpness of the displayed image.
Resetting Skew Delay, Level and Peaking
To reset the skew delay, level, and peaking, press and hold the select button for three
seconds. Release the select button.
Operation
After the transmitter, all receivers, and their connected devices are powered up, the system
is fully operational. To optimize the displayed image make any appropriate adjustments as
described in this guide.
If any problems are encountered, verify that the cables are routed and connected properly,
and that all display devices have suitable resolutions and refresh rates, and the image has
been optimized as far as possible.
