Features

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.

•Modular, field-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.

•Supports RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, RsGsBs, component video, composite video, and S-video

•Compatible with HDTV component video, bi-level or tri-level sync

•LED power indicator

•Compatible with all MTP products
