Long Distance Two Input XTP Wallplate Transmitter

Extron Electronics has introduced the DTP T DWP 4K 232 D and DTP T DWP 4K 332 D, two input Decora-style transmitters for sending DisplayPort or HDMI, audio, and control over a shielded CATx cable to Extron DTP-enabled products. The DTP T DWP 4K 232 D extends signals up to 70 meters, while the DTP T DWP 4K 332 D extends signals up to 100 meters. Both DTP T DWP 4K D models provide one HDMI input, one DisplayPort input, and independent analogue stereo audio connections. They support video signals at resolutions up to 4K, including 2560×1600 and 1080p/60 Deep Colour. Analogue stereo audio embedding and RS‑232 remote control facilitate integration in demanding professional environments. Integrator-friendly features include EDID Minder, auto-switching between inputs, remote power capability, and bidirectional RS‑232 and IR pass-through for remote AV device control. The wall-mountable design provides the convenience of placing input connections precisely where they are needed.

“These new 4K DTP transmitters enable system designers and integrators to take advantage of DisplayPort technology alongside HDMI sources in a range of AV environments,” says vice president of sales and marketing for Extron, Casey Hall. “Features such as automatic switching and audio embedding simplify designs and provide ease of use.”

The DTP T DWP 4K 232 D and DTP T DWP 4K 332 D help ensure optimal system performance by automatically adjusting colour bit depth based on the display EDID, preventing colour compatibility conflicts between the source and display. In addition to RS‑232 input selection, these transmitters can be set up to automatically switch when they detect a source, making them ideal for automatic routing and unattended operation. They also feature independent connections for embedding stereo analogue audio onto the DTP video output signal. For added installation flexibility, the DTP T DWP 4K D transmitters can be remotely powered by Extron DTP-enabled products over the twisted pair cable. They offer an HDBaseT output mode that provides the additional integration convenience of a twisted pair output that is compatible with any HDBaseT-enabled display.
