About the TPX 88 Manual

This manual provides installation, operation, and maintenance information for the Extron TPX 88 and TPX 88 A matrix switchers. The TPX switchers are 8-input by 8-output matrix switchers for routing the signals that Extron twisted pair (TP) transmitters and receivers use to distribute video and audio signals in an A/V system.

In this manual, the term “TPX 88” is generally used to identify both twisted pair matrix switchers. If a specific discussion relates to the audio version only, the term “TPX 88 A” is used.

In this manual, the terms “twisted pair transmitter” and “twisted pair receiver” refer to any transmitter or receiver listed in the table on the following pages; the terms “TP transmitter” and “TP receiver” refer specifically to members of the TP family of Extron twisted pair transmitters and receivers, such as the TP T 15HD A and the TP R BNC A.

Besides the TPX 88’s video signal routing capabilities, the TPX 88 A can route the TP transmitter family’s digital audio outputs, switching the audio with the video (audio follow) or separate from the video (audio breakaway). The TPX 88 A can also process the audio, adjusting the gain and attenuation, and output the audio locally on the switcher’s rear panel.

About the TP A/V System

The Extron twisted pair transmitters, twisted pair receivers, and TP matrix switchers provide a system for long-distance distribution of video and stereo or mono audio over Extron’s Enhanced Skew-Free™ A/V unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable or over Category (CAT) 5 UTP, shielded twisted pair (STP), or foil shielded twisted pair (FTP) cable. The table on the following page lists the Extron transmitters and receivers that are compatible with the TPX units and their video and audio capabilities. With adapters, many RGBHV twisted pair products can also distribute component, S-video and/or composite video.

TP cable advantages

Extron’s Enhanced Skew-Free A/V UTP cable and CAT 5 cable are a fraction of the size of coaxial cable, as well as being much lighter, more flexible, and far less expensive. These TP products make cable runs simpler and less cumbersome. Termination of the cable with RJ-45 connectors is simple, quick, and economical.
