Where differences exist between the two boards, the full name of the board is  
used in the description.  
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  
unit, or the PowerCage 1600 Enclosure User Guide, at www.extron.com.  
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.  
PowerCage MTP T 15HD RSA and PowerCage MTP R 15HD RSA SEQ • Introduction  
1
 
 
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.  
Features  
Modular, eld-upgradeable, and hot-swappable boards designed for the PowerCage  
1600 enclosure — Additional transmitter and receiver boards may be added at any  
time for quick and easy upgradeability or expansion. Hot-swappable components allow  
the user to replace boards at any time with no need to power down the system. This is  
useful for mission-critical applications that require continuous system operation.  
Space-saving design in a compact 3U, rack-mountable enclosure — The compact design  
of the PowerCage 1600 enclosure accommodates up to 16 single-slot or 8 double-slot  
boards. The PowerCage 1600 eliminates individual power supplies for each transmitter  
and receiver, and provides forced-air cooling for each module.

adjusting for signal loss or optimizing the image for various cable lengths. The LEDs are  
labelled: R =Red, G/L = Green/Level, B/P = Blue/Peaking  
NOTES: Skew is the color misalignment present in twisted pair A/V systems using  
Category 5, 5e, or 6 cable in which the red, green, and blue video signals  
arrive at the display at different times.  
Level alters the video output voltage to affect the brightness of the  
displayed image.

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 LEDs indicate  
the current function. Press the select button as follows:

2. Noting the color that is shifted furthest left, press the select button accordingly to  
select that color (see table above). The corresponding LED lights.  
3. Viewing the image, slowly rotate the Adjust knob until the selected color converges  
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.  
If your problems persist, call the Extron S3 Sales & Technical Support Hotline. See the  
contact numbers on the rear page of this guide for the Extron office nearest you.
