Receiver considerations

NThe receivers' buffered outputs do not provide pre-peaking control. The total recommended distance for an entire daisy chain is the same as for a single transmitter and receiver. The transmitter's Pre-Peak switch has the same affect on the recommended transmission distance for a daisy chain as for a single transmitter and receiver.

NSee the recommended transmission ranges in the table on page 1-5. The recommendations in the table apply equally for the switcher and one receiver and for a transmission daisy chain. For example, the maximum suggested range for high quality transmission of 1024 x 768 video is 600’ between either the switcher and one receiver or the switcher and three daisy-chained receivers.

NFor daisy-chained units, the first receiver in the chain must be at least 100' from the switcher when the Pre-Peak switch is on.

NFor daisy-chained units, any receiver in the chain closer than 350’ may experience some form of over-peaking when the Pre-Peak switch is on.

NIf a receiver is the last receiver in a daisy chain, its end unit DIP switch setting needs to be changed. Refer to the MTP 15HD RS Series manual.

Figure 2-10 — Switcher's front panel features

A

Auto Switch LED — When lit, the Auto Switch LED indicates

 

that the switcher is in auto switch mode. When unlit, the switch

 

is in normal (manual) mode. See "Switch mode" in this chapter.

B

Input Buttons and LEDs — When the auto switch mode is off,

 

these buttons select the input. The LED for the selected input

 

lights.

 

The LEDs continue to indicate the selected input when the auto

 

switch mode is on. If no input LED is lit, no input has active

 

sync pulses and no input is selected.

 

N Front panel input selection cannot be performed when

 

the auto switch mode is on (Auto Switch [A] is lit).

C

Mode button — Use this button, with either the Auto or the

 

Normal button, to manually turn auto switch mode on or off.

 

This control is a secondary function of the Input 1 button.

D

Normal button — Use this button, with the Mode button, to

 

manually turn auto switch mode off. This control is a secondary

 

function of the Input 2 button.

E

Auto button — Use this button, with the Mode button, to

 

manually turn auto switch mode on. This control is a secondary

 

function of the Input 3 button.

F

Delay Select button — This recessed button selects the red,

 

green, or blue video signal to adjust and resets all three video

 

signals to a skew delay of zero nanoseconds.

 

Use a Tweeker to press and release this button to select among

 

the red, green, or blue video signal to adjust. The selected signal

 

is indicated by the Delay Red, Green, and Blue LEDs (G).

 

The switcher automatically saves the setting for the video signal

 

that is being deselected when you push this button or when the

 

selection times out after 10 seconds.

 

Press and hold this button for approximately 3 seconds to zero

 

the skew delay for red, green, and blue. The Delay Red, Green,

 

and Blue LEDS (G) all turn off. Release the button.

G

Delay Red, Green, and Blue LEDs — Indicate the video signal

 

that is selected by the Select button (F) for skew adjustment

 

using the Adjust control (H). The LED for the selected color

 

flashes when the skew compensation for that color’s video

 

signal has reached the minimum or maximum limit.
