The transmitter board also features EDID emulation, whereby the correct refresh rate
and resolution is applied to the incoming computer signal, ensuring a proper image
output display.
Two DIP switches on the board allows the user to set the refresh rate to 50 or 60 Hz
(default is 60 Hz) using switch #1. The second switch controls the RS-232/audio setting.
The resolution is selected by turning the 16-position rotary encoder to the desired
setting. The default setting is 1024x768.
NOTE: The EDID encoder and DIP switch combination point to pre-stored EDID
information block to send to the RGB input. See the “Board Setup and
Operation” section for a table of settings, and details of how to access set
the switches and encoder.
In addition, a toggle switch on the rear panel is available to turn the pre-peaking on or
off. When turned on, pre-peaking boosts signal transmission distance.
The rear panel has an LED that lights green when power is applied to the board.
• PowerCage MTP R 15HD RSA SEQ receiver — This board supports RGB, HD-YUV,
YUV, S-video and composite video outputs on a 15-pin HD VGA connector, and audio or
RS-232 on a 5-pole captive screw connector.
The input from a compatible MTP transmitter is made over twisted pair cabling via the
RJ-45 connector.
This board has a level, peaking, and skew adjustment feature. When adjustment is
necessary, the selection between skew, level, and peaking is made via a recessed button.
The single digital encoder is used to adjust each individual setting (red skew, green skew,
blue skew, level and peaking) as needed.
Four DIP switches on the board allow the user to set the horizontal sync (switch #1),
vertical sync (switch #2), bi- or unidirectional RS-232 communication (switch #3), and
routing S-video (switch #4). Switches 5 and 6 are not used.
The rear panel also has an LED that lights green when power is applied to the board.
NOTE: For full operating details, see the “Installation and Operation” section, in
this guide.
Features
• Modular, field-upgradeable, and hot-swappable boards designed for the PowerCage
1600 enclosure — Additional transmitter and receiver boards may be added at any
time for quick and easy upgradeability or expansion. Hot-swappable components allow
the user to replace boards at any time with no need to power down the system. This is
useful for mission-critical applications that require continuous system operation.
• Space-saving design in a compact 3U, rack-mountable enclosure — The compact design
of the PowerCage 1600 enclosure accommodates up to 16 single-slot or 8 double-slot
boards. The PowerCage 1600 eliminates individual power supplies for each transmitter
and receiver, and provides forced-air cooling for each module.
• Supports RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, RsGsBs, component video, composite video, and S-video
• Compatible with HDTV component video, bi-level or tri-level sync
• LED power indicator
• Compatible with all MTP products
