Signal Jumpers for Generational Compatibility

Over time, the MTPs have been redesigned, affecting the signal content of the TP cable wire pairs, changing the audio from stereo to mono, and eliminating the remote power capability. The new-generation units are not compatible with the old generation unless an internal jumper in the new unit is shifted.

Shift the new transmitter’s and/or receiver’s jumpers if:

•Your installation mixes a transmitter and receiver from different generations.

•You want the units to transmit stereo audio.

•You want one unit to remotely power another.

Use the table below to identify the generation (revision level) of the transmitter and receiver in your installation. If any of the above scenarios are true, reconfigure the units’ jumpers before mounting the units.

Only the new generation units have these jumpers.

Setting the jumpers on non AAP models

1. Remove and retain the four screws (two on each side of the unit) that secure the cover to the MTP (figure 2-1).

Figure 2-1 — Removing the MTP cover

2. For the receiver, slide the cover slightly forward to clear the front panel adjustment knobs.

3. Lift the cover straight up.

4. If the transmitter or receiver is an audio unit, remove and retain the two screws that secure the audio board to the main (video) board (figure 2-2). Pull the audio board back until the audio connectors clear the back of the unit and lift the board out of the way.

Step 4 and figure 2-2 are correct for either S-video or composite video models.

Remove these screws.
