The Extron DTP3 T 202 is a long distance, digital twisted pair transmitter for sending HDMI, audio, and bidirectional RS‑232 signals up to 330 feet (100 meters) over a shielded CAT 6A cable to Extron DTP3‑enabled products. It provides one HDMI input with loop-through for local monitoring. The transmitter supports video resolutions up to 4K/60 at 4:4:4 color sampling, complies with HDCP 2.3, and features EDID Minder^®. For maximum image quality and minimal latency, all supported video resolutions are transported without compression. The compact enclosure size and flexible remote power capability, from either the transmitter or receiver, make the DTP3 T 202 ideal for discreet placement in lecterns, beneath tables, or wherever needed to meet application requirements.

The DTP3 T 202 enables the reliable, long distance transmission of HDMI 2.0b signals at data rates up to 18 Gbps supporting HDR, Deep Color up to 12‑bit, 3D, and embedded HD lossless audio formats. In addition, the DTP3 output can be configured to send video and embedded audio, plus bidirectional RS‑232 signals to an HDBaseT-enabled display. DDC communication of EDID and HDCP is continuously maintained between source and display, ensuring direct compatibility and optimal signal transmission between devices.

Features that Streamline Integration

To enhance and simplify integration of devices and to help ensure optimal system performance, the DTP3 T 202 features Extron EDID Minder, which automatically manages EDID by maintaining continuous EDID communication with each source. The technology ensures that the sources power up properly and reliably output content for display.

Front panel LED indicators provide immediate visual confirmation of signal presence for the input, as well as HDCP status and power. On the back panel, LEDs indicate signal presence and link status for the output. A buffered HDMI input loop-through provides an output signal to drive a local monitor.

Convenient Control and Power

The DTP3 T 202 provides many other integrator-friendly features designed to help simplify installation. It supports simultaneous transmission of bidirectional RS‑232 from a control system for AV device control. The transmitter can be remotely powered over the shielded twisted pair cable by a DTP3-enabled product. In addition, it can be configured to provide power to the connected receiver, allowing both devices to share one power supply.

Bidirectional RS-232 control signals can be transmitted alongside the video signal, facilitating remote operation of AV devices without the need for additional cabling. For added convenience, a USB-C configuration port on the front panel offers ready access to information and easy updating of firmware. Configuration of the DTP3 T 202 is made simple with Extron’s PCS - Product Configuration Software and its user-friendly GUI that is very easy to navigate. This software application allows for expedited setup, commissioning, real-time operation and monitoring.

The DTP3 T 202 transmitter is housed in a 1" (2.5 cm) high, quarter rack width metal enclosure. The low-profile design allows for discreet placement in tight spaces. To ensure optimal performance with DTP3 systems, Extron recommends XTP DTP 22 cables and accessories. These 22-gauge shielded twisted pair cables, shielded RJ‑45 plugs, jacks, and couplers have been engineered for optimum performance for DTP3 products running at 18 Gbps. Extron XTP DTP 22 cable bandwidth is verified to 500 MHz and utilizes a S/FTP design with four shielded 22 AWG twisted pair conductors inside an overall braided shield for superior performance and noise immunity.
