Introduction  
It is possible to exceed the recommended distances,  
however, image quality may be reduced.  
About the TP Receivers  
The Extron Twisted Pair (TP) receivers receive transmissions of  
The TP receivers can only receive and output signals  
transmitted by Extron TP transmitters. This user’s manual  
documents the installation, features, and operation of the TP  
receivers only. For information about the TP transmitters, refer  
to the TP Transmitters Family User’s Manual, which accompanies  
the transmitters.  
RGB video, component video, S-video, composite video, and  
stereo audio over Extron’s Skew-Free™ A/V UTP cable or  
standard Category (CAT) 5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP),  
shielded twisted pair (STP), or foil shielded twisted pair (FTP)  
cable. The TP R BNC A, TP R BNC AV, and TP R AV receivers  
are designed for longer transmission distances (200 to 1000 feet)  
and the TP R 15HD A is designed for shorter transmission  
distances (100 to 800 feet).  
Features  
The minimum reliable transmission distance for the TP R BNC A,  
TP R BNC AV, and TP R AV is 50 feet. The TP R 15HD A  
provides reliable reception and high quality video output  
without the minimum distance limitation.  
All Extron TP receivers provide the following features:  
Audio output — Provides unbalanced (left/right) audio on  
RCA connectors, and balanced or unbalanced audio on  
3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw connectors.  
The maximum distance is determined by the output frequency  
and resolution. The following table specifies the recommended  
maximum transmission distances using Extron skew-free A/V  
UTP cable or UTP CAT 5 cable, terminated with CAT 6, or at  
least CAT 5e, rated connectors.  
Level control — Allows you to manually control the image  
brightness.  
Peaking control — Allows you to manually control the image  
sharpness.  
Extron recommends using the highest quality cable  
available and affordable. We also recommend the use of  
pre-terminated and tested cables. Cables terminated on  
site should be tested before use to ensure that they  
comply with Category 5e specifications.  
TP R BNC A receiver  
The TP R BNC A receiver has the following features:  
Video output — Provides RGBHV, RGBS, or RGsB video on 5  
BNC connectors.  
RJ-45 connector — Allows attachment to an Extron TP  
Recommended transmission ranges at 60 Hz,

Installation and Operation
Installation Overview  
All TP transmitters include a 15V external power  
supply. The transmitters also receive power from the  
associated Extron TP receiver(s) (with the exception of  
the TP R 15HD A) via the TP cable. Extron  
recommends using the local power supply; however, the  
power supply may not be necessary in some applications.  
Use the following guidelines:  
To install and set up a TP receiver and the associated TP  
transmitter(s) for operation, perform the following steps:  
Disconnect power from all of the equipment, including the  
video source(s) (such as computers or DVD players), the  
transmitter, the receiver, and the output display(s).  
1
The TP T 15HD A, TP T 15HD AV, and  
TP T BNC may not require a local power supply for  
cable lengths of 300 feet or less.  
For component, S-video, or composite video, ensure that  
the internal jumpers (TP R BNC A and TP R BNC AV) or  
external DIP switch (TP R 15HD A) are in the correct  
position. See Video jumpers or Video DIP switch in this  
chapter.  
2
The TP T AV may not require a local power supply  
for cable lengths of 800 feet or less.  
The TP T BNC DA4 and any transmitter  
connected to a TP R 15HD A always require the  
local power supply.  
TP R BNC AV and TP R AV only If desired, configure  
the audio jumpers to make the receiver compatible with  
unmodified TP transmitters. See Audio jumpers in this  
chapter.  
3
If problems are encountered, use the local power supply.  
The TP R BNC AV and TP R AV are redesigned  
(modified) receivers. The audio jumpers configure the  
audio portion of the composite video TP link to work  
with either similarly redesigned TP T 15HD AV and  
TP T AV transmitters or with older, unmodified  
transmitters. Redesigned receivers and transmitters  
have an identifying label.  
Adjust the picture controls on the transmitter(s) and the  
receiver. See Controls and Indicators in this chapter and  
refer to the TP Transmitters Family User’s Manual, part  
#68-546-01.  
9
Video jumpers  
The TP R BNC A and TP R BNC AV receivers can be configured  
to receive component video, S-video, or composite video.  
Mount the receiver in a rack (all except TP R AV) (the  
TP R 15HD A can be mounted in a standard rack or in a  
VersaTools rack), under a desk or podium, in a desk or  
table (all except TP R 15HD A), or on a projector bracket.  
See Mounting the receiver in this chapter.  
4
5
The receivers are factory configured for RGB video. To  
receive any other type of video, reconfigure the jumpers.  
Connect the cable(s) between the TP transmitter(s) and the  
receiver. See Transmitted signal cabling in this chapter and  
refer to the TP Transmitters Family User’s Manual, part  
#68-546-01.  
Connect the output cables. See Output cabling in this  
chapter.

8
Configure the TP transmitter(s). Refer to the TP  
Transmitters Family User’s Manual, part #68-546-01.  
Connect power cords to the TP receiver, the TP  
transmitter, and turn on the video source(s) and the  
output display(s).

TP R BNC A and TP R BNC AV  
If you intend to match this receiver with an older, unmodified  
TP transmitter, and do not plan to include a TPX 88 A in your  
system, you can set the receiver to receive the audio on wire  
pair 7 and 8, to be compatible with an older TP transmitter, by  
shifting internal jumpers as follows:  
Figure 2-1 — Video jumper configuration  
2.  
Using an Extron BNC extraction tool (part #100-096-01) or a  
14 mm, deep well socket with thin walls, remove the five or  
six hex nuts securing the BNC connectors to the rear panel.  
3.  
4.  
Slide the cover forward until the cover clears the BNC  
connectors and then lift the cover off.  
TP R BNC AV only: Remove the four screws securing the  
video board to the RGB board and lift the video board out  
of the way.  
5.  
Locate J3 on the RGB video printed circuit board. See  
figure 2-1.  
a.  
For RGB video, ensure that pin 2 is jumpered to  
pin 3.  
b.  
For any other video format, ensure that pin 1 is  
jumpered to pin 2.  
6.  
Reinstall the video board, replace the cover, and reinstall  
the screws and BNC connector hex nuts.
