Extron electronic MTPX Plus Series manual MTPX skew setting, Inputs, Outputs

6.	Disconnect the Power and RJ-45 cables from the MTP signal generator and
	reconnect them to the MTP transmitter.
7.	Repeat steps 1 through 6 for each input.

If, for any reason, you choose not to auto calibrate, or if you want to fine tune the adjustment, you can manually set the values as follows:

8.	Connect an oscilloscope (preferred) or a monitor (acceptable) to local output
	(VGA output) 1.
9.	If using an oscilloscope, apply a white field test pattern to the input to be
	optimized via an MTP transmitter.

If using a monitor, apply a grayscale or Color Bars test pattern to the input to be optimized via an MTP transmitter.

HThe Extron VTG 300 or VTG 400 are recommended to provide the test pattern.

10. Tie the input to be optimized to output 1.

11. Observe the oscilloscope or the monitor with a critical eye while you adjust the input level/peaking setting to compensate for signal loss between the transmitter and the MTPX.

12. If necessary, repeat steps 8 through 11 for each input.

MTPX skew setting

The MTPX has skew adjustments on the inputs and the outputs. Both should be set to compensate for signal skew across all ties. Adjust input and output skew as follows:

Inputs:

1.	Connect an oscilloscope (preferred) or a monitor (acceptable) to local output
	(VGA output) 1.
2.	Apply a crosshatch test pattern to the input to be optimized via an MTP
	transmitter.

HThe Extron VTG 300 or VTG 400 are recommended to provide the test pattern.

3.	Tie the input to be optimized to output 1.
4.	Use the test equipment or examine the displayed video image with a critical
	eye to determine which video signal — red, green, or blue — is most shifted
	to the left.
5.	Adjust the leftmost video signal to the right until all three colors are properly
	converged.

NWhen the skew adjustment is set to zero, the MTPX Plus cannot shift the rightmost video image to the left.

NA 2-nanosecond adjustment is very fine. Up to 10 nanoseconds of delay may be necessary before you detect a change in the display.

6.	If either of the two the remaining colors is left shifted, repeat steps 4 and 5.
7.	Repeat steps 2 through 6 for all other inputs.
Outputs:
8.	Connect an oscilloscope (preferred) or a monitor (acceptable) to the TP output
	to be adjusted, via an MTP receiver.
9.	Apply a crosshatch test pattern to one the local (VGA) inputs.

HThe Extron VTG 300 or VTG 400 are recommended to provide the test pattern.
