Extron has released the DTP2 T 204, a four-input switcher with a integrated DTP2 transmitter for sending HDMI and control up to 100m over a shielded CATx cable to an Extron DTP-enabled product.

Supporting computer and video resolutions up to 4K/60 at 4:4:4 colour sampling and includes a number of integrator-friendly features like an EDID minder, key minder and selectable HDCP authorisation. Additionally, Ethernet control enables centralised system management with the half-rack width enclosure enabling discreet placement within lecterns, beneath tables or whatever is needed.

“We designed the DTP2 T 204 to be flexible and robust, with true 4K/60 switching capability plus long-distance signal transmission,” Extron vice president of worldwide sales and marketing Casey Hall says.

“With four HDMI inputs, auto-input switching, and Ethernet capabilities, it has the versatility to be the central switcher for meeting and classroom AV installations, as well as being integral to larger DTP systems.”

The DTP2 T 204 switcher provides reliable routing of HDMI video at data rates up to 18Gbps, along with HDR, Deep Colour up to 12-bit, 3D and embedded HD lossless audio formats.

It can also be remotely powered by a DTP2-enabled product over the twisted pair connection for an easier installation as well as being configurable to provide power by a DTP2 receiver product. DDC communication of EDID and HDCP is continuously maintained between source and display to ensure direct compatibility and optimal signal transmission between devices.
