Most MTP transmitters and half of the MTPX TP outpust have a pre-peaking feature. Many MTP receivers have level/peaking and skew adjustments. Set these features as follows for the best image quality:

1. For inputs from MTP T 15HD products only — If the cable between the MTP transmitter and the MTPX Plus is > 300', turn the transmitter’s Pre-Peak switch on. For shorter cables, turn the switch off.

2. For outputs — If the cable between the MTPX and the receiver is > 300', turn the MTPX’s Pre-Peak feature on. For shorter cables, turn the feature off. Set the feature as follows:

a. In the Matrix Switchers Control Program, click Tools > MTPX Config settings and then check or uncheck the appropriate Pre-Peaking box.
