About the MTPX Plus Twisted Pair Matrix Switchers

The MTPX Plus matrix switcher distributes signals that are compatible with the Extron MTP and VTT/VTR product lines. The matrix switcher routes a TP input signal to any combination of TP outputs. Depending on the MTP model, the routed TP signal can include RGB or low resolution video and either mono audio or transmitter-to-receiver RS-232 serial communications. The matrix switcher can route multiple input/output configurations simultaneously.

NThe receiver-to-transmitter serial communications and remote power capabilities available with certain MTP models are not supported by this matrix switcher.

The matrix switcher is a single box solution to complex TP (figure 1-1) signal routing applications. Each input and output is individually isolated and buffered, and any input(s) can be switched to any one or all outputs with virtually no crosstalk or signal noise between channels.
