Receiver considerations

N The 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.
N See 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.
N For daisy-chained units, the first receiver in the chain
must be at least 100' from the switcher when the
Pre-Peak switch is on.
N For 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.
N If 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
ashes when the skew compensation for that color’s video
signal has reached the minimum or maximum limit.
