Introduction  
About this Manual  
This manual contains installation, configuration, and operating information for the  
Extron TPS150 audio/ video Twisted Pair (TP) switching and transmission system.  
Chapter 1 identifies the transmitters and receivers features.  
Chapter 2 details how to install the transmitter and receiver.  
Chapter 3 describes how to operate the transmitter and receiver from their  
front panels and use all of their features.  
Chapter 4 provides information about programming and operating the  
switcher under RS-232 control, such as from a PC or host controller. You can  
control the switcher using Extrons TPS150 serial command set or the ICS100  
control program.  
Appendix A lists the transmitters and receivers specifications and pertinent  
part numbers.  
About the Transmission System  
The TPS150 consists of two components (figure 1-1):  
The TPT150 AV switcher/ TP transmitter (referred to in this manual as the  
“switching transmitter” or the “transmitter”)  
The TPR150 TP video receiver (referred to in this manual as the “receiver”)  
The transmitter and receiver form a switching and long distance transmission  
system. The TPS150 system sends high resolution RGB video (such as VGA video),  
low resolution video, and RS-232 control signals to a projector, plasma display, or  
other display over a single Category (CAT) 5/ 5e/ 6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP),  
shielded twisted pair (STP), or foil shielded twisted pair (FTP) cable. The system  
includes cable compensation and skew control technology that allow you to use  
these standard network cables.  
The TPS150 will work with either shielded or unshielded cables. However, to  
comply with FCC rules, shielded (STP or FTP) cables must be used.  
About the TPT150 switching transmitter  
The TPT150 transmitter accepts and switches between the following four video  
inputs:  
Input 1 and input 2 — High resolution video (such as VGA) on 15-pin HD  
connectors. Input 1 includes a buffered local monitor loop-through  
connector.  
Input 3 and input 4 — For each input, one only of the following three video  
formats:  

Component video (Y, R-Y, B-Y) on three female RCA connectors  
S-video on one 4-pin mini DIN connector  


Composite video on one female RCA connector  
Each input also accepts an unbalanced line level stereo audio signal on left and  
right RCA connectors. The level of each audio input is individually adjustable to  
ensure that there is no noticeable volume difference when switching among  
sources.  
The switching transmitter outputs the selected input audio as balanced or  
unbalanced line level audio on a 5-pin 3.5 mm captive screw connector. The output  
can also be muted.  
1-2  
TPS150 Switching and Transmission System • Introduction

The audio for the selected input is output locally. It is not sent to the receiver.  
The TPT150 has an RS-232 port that accepts ICS100 program control from a  
connected computer or serial command control from a computer or control system.  
The transmitter can also store serial commands that are entered by the operator.  
The transmitter sends the appropriate serial commands on the TP link to the  
receiver whenever an input button or the projector power button is pressed.  
An optional CTP150CM control panel can be connected to a contact closure port on  
the TPT150. Using the CTP150CM, a remote operator can select inputs, power up  
and down a projector connected to the receiver, and increase and decrease the  
output volume.

Introduction, cont’d  
TP Cable Advantages  
Twisted pair cable is much smaller, lighter, more flexible, and less expensive than  
coaxial cable. The TPT150 makes cable runs simpler and less cumbersome.  
Termination of the cable with RJ-45 connectors is simple, quick, and economical.  
Transmission distance  
The maximum distance is determined by the output frequency and resolution. The  
following table specifies the recommended maximum transmission distances using  
CAT 5/ 5e/ 6 cable, terminated with the appropriate connectors.  
It is possible to exceed the recommended distance; however, image quality may  
be reduced.  
We recommend the use of pre-terminated and tested cables. Cables terminated  
on site should be tested before use.

Features  
Four input A/V switcher — Accepts, switches, and transmits RGBHV, component  
video (Y, R-Y, B-Y), S-video, composite video, and RS-232 serial content.  
Accepts and switches unbalanced line level stereo audio.  
Buffered monitor output on input 1 — Provides for local monitor output on a  
15-pin HD female VGA connector, enabling a signal to be easily monitored  
locally without the need for a separate distribution amplifier.  
Universal projector control — The TPS150 provides universal projector control via  
serial commands entered by the installing technician. Commands are  
automatically sent when the input selection or Projector Power buttons are  
pressed. The included ICS100 control software makes storing projector or  
display control codes easy.  
Skew compensation control — Individual red, green, and blue skew controls  
adjust for the timing delays commonly encountered when CAT 5, CAT 5e, or  
CAT 6 cable is used.  
Sharpness control — Provides video equalization with individual low frequency  
and high frequency adjustments. The low frequency control helps remove  
image smearing. The high frequency control restores image sharpness and  
detail.  
Audio input level adjustment — Each individual input has a level adjustment via  
the front panel and RS-232 control. Audio levels are saved for each input and  
are automatically recalled when that input is selected.

Audio output volume adjustment and muting — The output has volume control  
adjustment via the front panel, RS-232 control, or optional contact closure  
panel control.  
Control — Switcher control is available through the front panel, an RS-232 port  
serial link, and an optional contact closure control panel. Serial control is  
provided with the Extron ICS 100 control software and/ or a control system  
issuing serial commands.  
Custom engraved front panels — The front panel controllers include attachment  
posts to hold an optional custom-engraved name plate. Extron can create a  
custom front plate to neatly and professionally label each input button.  
Contact the Extron S3 Sales & Technical Support Hotline to order the custom  
plate.  
Optional CTP150CM control panel — Seven soft-touch buttons control the input  
selection, volume up and down, and display power on and off. The  
CTP150CM is available in a black or white finish and installs in CPM Series  
modular connector panels that accept a quad-size Mini Architectural Adapter  
Plate (MAAP).

Installation  
Mounting the Transmitter and Receiver  
The TPS150 comes with rubber feet for the transmitter and receiver, a set of  
MTR102 rack ears for the transmitter, and a set of mounting brackets for the  
receiver.  
Rack mounting the transmitter  
UL requirements  
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirements pertain to the  
installation of the transmitter into a rack (figure 2-1).  
1.  
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 temperature. Therefore,  
install the transmitter in an environment compatible with the maximum  
ambient temperature (Tma = +122 °F, +50 °C) specified by Extron.  
2.  
3.  
4.  
Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in a rack so that the amount of air  
flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.  
Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so that a hazardous  
condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.  
Circuit overloading — Connect the equipment to the supply circuit and  
consider the effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent  
protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment  
nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.  
5.  
Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable grounding of rack-  
mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other  
than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).  
Mounting instructions  
If desired, rack mount the transmitter as follows:  
1.  
2.  
Remove the rubber feet from the bottom of the transmitter.

Operation, cont’d  
Operations  
The following paragraphs detail the power-up process and then describe selecting  
an input, issuing the projector power up and down commands, and adjusting the  
input level and output volume.  
Power  
Apply power to the transmitter by connecting the power cord to an AC source and  
toggling the AC power switch to the on ( ) position. Apply power to the receiver by  
connecting the power cord to an AC source.  
When AC power is applied, the transmitter and receiver perform a self-test that  
flashes all of the transmitters front panel LEDs on and off once. An error-free  
power up self-test sequence leaves the transmitters selected input LED, the Power  
LEDs, and the receivers High Frequency LED on.  
The selected input, the audio input level and output volume, and the blank and  
mute on/ off status are saved in non-volatile memory. When power is applied, the  
latest configuration is retrieved.  
Input selection  
Press the Input Select button on the transmitter for the desired input. When you  
select an input, the following occurs:  
The transmitter sends the video portion of the selected input to the receiver  
on the TP link. The receiver outputs the video on its appropriate Video  
Output connectors.  
If the operator has pre-programmed a serial command or data string for the  
selected input (such as a projectors own input selection or video format  
command), the transmitter sends that serial string to the receiver on the TP  
link. The receiver then outputs the serial string on its RS-232 port. See  
chapter 4, “Serial Communications”, to specify the command to be sent.  
The transmitter outputs the audio portion of the selected input locally, on its  
own rear panel Output Audio port.  
Projector power  
The receiver does not receive a confirmation from the projector that it is on or  
off. Rather, after the TPT150s power is applied, the first serial string the  
transmitter sends to the receiver (which passes it to the projector) is the string  
that was programmed as the projector power on command. From that point,  
every time you push the button, the transmitter alternates between sending the  
power off command and the power on command. If the projector is powered on  
or off locally, the transmitter sends the wrong command the next time the  
Projector Power button is pressed.  
The Projector Power control is typically used to remotely command the connected  
projector to power itself up or down. Command strings to be transmitted must be  
programmed in advance. The projector power timeout function (if enabled)  
automatically powers off the projector after a user-defined interval. See chapter 4,  
“Serial Communications”, to specify the commands to be sent and to set the timout  
function.

TPS150 Switching and Transmission System • Operation  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Press the Projector Power button on the transmitter to issue the projector on or off  
command. When you push the button, the following occurs:  
If no command has been transmitted since transmitter power was applied, or  
if the power off command was the last command transmitted:  

The transmitter sends the power on string to the receiver on the TP link.  
The transmitter lights its Projector Power LED.  



The transmitter starts its power off timout function (if enabled).  
The receiver outputs the received serial string on its RS-232 port.  
Some projectors use the same command for power on and power off. If the  
same code is specified for on and off, the Projector Power LED blinks for each  
button push.  
If the power on command was the last command transmitted:  

The transmitter sends the power off string to the receiver on the TP link.  
The transmitter turns off its Projector Power LED.  


The receiver outputs the received serial string on its RS-232 port.  
The same sequence of events occurs when the projector power timeout function  
(if enabled) expires.

Troubleshooting  
This section gives recommendations on what to do if you have problems operating  
the transmitter/ receiver system, and it provides examples and descriptions for  
some image problems you may encounter.  
The following tips may help you in troubleshooting.  
Some symptoms may resemble others, so you may want to look through all  
of the examples before attempting to solve the problem.  
Be prepared to backtrack in case the action taken does not solve the problem.  
It may help to keep notes and sketches in case the troubleshooting process  
gets lengthy. This will also give you something to discuss if you call for  
technical support.  
Try simplifying the system by eliminating components outside the system  
that may have introduced the problem or made it more complicated.  
For sync-related problems: Portable digital projectors are designed to operate  
close to the immediate video source (the receiver). Sync problems may result  
from using long cables or from improper termination. A sync adapter, such  
as Extrons ASTA (active sync termination adapter), may help solve these  
problems.  
For LCD and DLP projectors and plasma displays: In addition to the sync-  
related information above, check the users manual that came with the  
projector for troubleshooting tips, as well as for settings and adjustments.  
Each manufacturer may have its own terms, so look for terms like “auto  
setup,” “auto sync,” “pixel phase,” and “tracking.”  
General checks  
1.  
Ensure that all devices are plugged in and powered on. The transmitter and  
receiver both have Power LEDs to indicate that power is applied.  
2.  
3.  
4.  
5.  
6.  
Ensure that the input selected is active.  
Ensure that the proper signal format is supplied.  
Check the cabling and make corrections as necessary.  
Reset the switcher. See “Full system reset” on page 3-5.  
Call the Extron S3 Sales & Technical Support Hotline, if necessary.

Serial Communications  
The transmitter must be programmed with commands to be sent upon input  
selection and with projector power on/ off commands before those commands are  
sent.  
The transmitter can also be configured with several serial port variables to match  
the controlling device and the device to be controlled.  
You can program and operate the transmitter either by using the ICS100 Windows-  
based control program or by sending individual ASCII commands. Both  
programming methods require that a null modem serial port cable be connected  
between a computer and the transmitters RS-232 port.

Establishing communications with the program  
The TPT150 transmitter will not operate properly unless it is connected to a  
powered TPR150 receiver.  
Start the control program and establish communications with the TPT150 as  
follows:  
1.  
Click Start > Programs > Extron > ICS100. The control program window  
appears.  
The TPS150 does not respond until it has been contacted with the valid  
address.  
If you have previously connected to the transmitter and have not addressed  
any other device since then, after a moment, the program reports that it has  
connected to a TPT150 (figure 4-1). Proceed to step 10.  
Figure 4-1 — ICS100 program window and connected message  
If you have not connected to the transmitter before or if you have connected  
to a different device since then, after a moment, the program reports a failure  
to connect (figure 4-2). Continue to step 2.

The transmitter must be addressed before it will accept and respond to  
commands. The addressing operation routes setup information to a particular  
unit on a network and enables command responses. Once the transmitter is  
addressed, it can accept an unlimited number of commands. If a different unit  
is addressed, the TPS150 ignores subsequent commands until it is addressed  
again.  
The factory-installed default address is 97, but this number can be changed.  
The transmitter can also take commands after receiving a broadcast address of  
00, but it does not send responses. Broadcast addressing is for multiple units  
on a network serial line in half-duplex mode.

Figure 4-16 — Remote port pin assignments for the TPT150 and TPR150  
The communications protocols of the receiver should match the protocols of the  
device to be controlled.  
Command and response structure  
Valid commands consist of a leading delimiter, one or more characters in a  
command code, and an ending delimiter. The transmitter s response to an RS-232  
command also consists of a leading delimiter, a command code, and an ending  
delimiter.  
The transmitters leading delimiter code is always a left bracket ( [ ). The ending  
delimiter code is always a right bracket ( ] ).  
Example: [CPp@] — where “[“ is the leading delimiter, “CPp@is the command  
(reset the transmitters serial port to default values), and “]” is the ending delimiter.  
Addressing the transmitter  
The transmitter must be addressed before it will accept and respond to commands.  
The address packet ([CC##], where ## is the 2-digit address) routes setup  
information to a particular unit on a network and enables command responses.  
Once the transmitter is addressed, it can accept an unlimited number of commands.  
If a different unit is addressed, the TPT150 ignores subsequent commands until it is  
addressed again.  
The factory-installed default address is 97, but this number can be changed. The  
transmitter can also take commands after receiving a broadcast address of 00, but it  
does not send responses. Broadcast is for multiple units in a network configuration  
in half duplex mode.  
By definition, the display device connected to the receivers RS-232 port is assigned  
an address that is one larger than the transmitters (for example, 98 to the  
transmitters default 97). If you address the display, the transmitter passes the  
commands received directly through to the receivers RS-232 port, allowing you to  
control the display. The transmitter also passes responses on the receivers RS-232  
port back to its own serial port.  
TPS150 Switching and Transmission System • Serial Communications 4-11  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Serial Communications, cont’d  
When the system is in Pass-Through mode [CC98], commands and responses are  
sent between the transmitter and receiver. If the system is not in Pass-Through  
mode, all of the receiver responses to the transmitters button commands are  
buffered until you return the system to mode, at which time the buffered  
responses are sent back to the controlling device. In this way, the controller can  
track the activity that has occurred.  
After you are finished programming the transmitter, always terminate the session  
by sending an address packet to another unit with a different address. This  
prevents the transmitter from responding to commands meant for another unit.  
Transmitter responses  
When a command is valid, the transmitter performs the command and sends the  
following response:  
[R0{address}{echo of the command sent}]  
When a command is invalid, either because the command is not recognized or it  
contains invalid parameters, the transmitter sends the following response:  
[R1{address}{echo of the command sent}]  
Using the command/response table  
The command/ response table begins on page 4-14. The command set is case  
sensitive and commands must be entered as shown. The table below shows the  
hexadecimal equivalent of each ASCII command.

The very last command that you send to the transmitter should be the connect, [CC ], command, where
