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 transmitter’s and receiver’s 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 Extron’s TPS150 serial command set or the ICS100 control program.

•Appendix A lists the transmitter’s and receiver’s specifications and pertinent part numbers.

About the Transmission System

The TPS150 consists of two components: the TPT150 AV switcher/TP transmitter (referred to in this manual as the “switching transmitter” or the “transmitter”) and the TPR150 TP video receiver (referred to in this manual as the “receiver”)

(figure 1-1). 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 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.

Extron recommends the use of STP or FTP cable only.

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-videoon one 4-pin mini DIN connector

!Composite video on 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.

The audio for the selected input is output locally. It is not sent to the receiver.
