MTP DA4 and MTP DA8, cont’d
Enhanced Skew-free A/V cable is not recommended for
Ethernet/LAN applications.
This cable is specially designed for compatibility with
Extron’s Twisted Pair products, wired using the
TIA/EIA 568 A standard.
The green, brown, and blue pairs of this cable have
virtually identical lengths and should be used to
transmit the RGB, composite video, or S-video signals.
The orange pair of this cable has a different length and
should not be used to transmit the RGB, composite
video, or S-video signals.
If you are using the DA as part of an MTP 15HD RS
(serial data) transmission system, be aware that the DA
routes the serial link one way only, from the transmitter
to the receiver(s).
Also, the transmitter and receiver must be jumper
configured to pass the serial link one way only. Refer to
the MTP 15HD RS user manual.

Skew Delay Problems
CAT 5 TP cable can lead to registration errors between the red,
green, and blue video signals. Pair skew can be measured with
test equipment or identified by viewing a crosshatch test pattern
with a critical eye to determine if either the red, green, or blue
video image leads (appears to the left of) the other two video
images. These images can be minimized or eliminated by one of
the following methods:
• Using a skew delay adjusting receiver:
(MTP RL 15HD A SEQ or MTP RL 15HD RS SEQ)
• Switching to Extron’s Enhanced Skew-Free A/V UTP
cable
• Adding a skew compensation cable equal to the length of
pair skew to the receiver’s video output
• Installing an SEQ 100 BNC Skew Equalizer on the
receiver’s video output and adjusting the skew for the
leading video image
