Extron Introduces the Ultimate Presentation Matrix Switcher

Anaheim, California (February 5, 2014) - Extron Electronics is pleased to introduce the DTP CrossPoint 84, the AV industry's first fully featured, true 4K presentation matrix switcher. The highly versatile, compact 2U DTP CrossPoint 84 delivers all of the technologically advanced capabilities necessary to design and integrate a complete AV system in one box, including an 8x4 matrix switcher with 4K inputs and outputs, two built-in independent scalers, integrated DTP and XTP transmitters and receivers, a high performance mono or stereo amplifier, and comprehensive audio DSP capabilities unmatched in the industry. The DTP CrossPoint 84 is the new industry standard for fully integrated AV systems, greatly simplifying system design and installation, and dramatically reducing total cost of ownership.

"The DTP CrossPoint 84 is an industry leading product. It's a true 4K matrix switcher with complete system integration capability in a compact presentation switcher that integrators can specify for a very wide range of applications and deliver significant cost savings for their clients," says Casey Hall, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Extron. "The DTP CrossPoint 84 is also unprecedented with a fully capable built-in DSP that allows full audio system design, and the ability to scale systems according to the needs of any environment or application."

The DTP CrossPoint 84 can immediately be put to use for integration with all of the latest 4K capable graphics cards, 4K cameras, and the ever-growing family of displays with 4K and UHD native resolutions. The DTP twisted pair inputs and outputs provide extraordinary flexibility in how and where AV and control need to be distributed. Integrators can choose from the industry's most complete offering of digital twisted pair transmitters and receivers with single and multi-input models available for furniture and wall-mount applications. The twisted pair inputs and outputs can also be used to connect to any display with an HDBaseT input or tie into a centralized, facility-wide XTP System to add local room-based AV systems.

A high performance scaler is paired to each of the two DTP outputs, so that incoming source signals can be optimized and converted to deliver the highest quality image content for display. With Extron's exclusive digital technologies, integrators can easily connect sources and displays and set up switching ties, with plug-and-play simplicity, automatic device negotiation, and nearly instantaneous switching delivered with Extron EDID Minder, Key Minder, and SpeedSwitch.

The DTP CrossPoint 84 is unparalleled in the AV industry with integrated professional-grade DSP featuring the same Extron 64-bit ProDSP technology in the highly regarded, award-winning DMP 128 digital matrix processors. Integrators can customize system designs and mixes any way desired, with fully configurable EQ, filters, dynamics, extensive matrix mixing options, and so much more. If a large number of microphones or speaker destinations are needed, the DTP CrossPoint 84 is the answer. A unique digital audio expansion port links the internal DSP to a DMP 128 for additional inputs and outputs, or to add AEC to a conferencing system. For even greater scalability, the DTP CrossPoint 84 can be linked into a DMP 128 on a Dante network for unprecedented system expansion possibilities. In addition to the built-in DSP, the built-in mono or stereo 100 watt amplifier completes sound reinforcement needs with absolutely no compromises. The amp inside features the same Extron core technologies in the renowned, ENERGY STAR qualified XTRA Series that delivers very high energy efficiency plus professional grade audio performance.

As a special promotion, every DTP CrossPoint 84 will come with a IPL 250 IP Link control processor or the new IPCP 350 IP Link Pro Series control processor, free of charge.
