The Extron XTP CP HDMI Input and Output Boards support HDMI and separate analog stereo audio signals. They provide the capability to connect local HDMI sources and output devices to XTP Systems®. The XTP® boards are HDCP-compliant, and support computer and video resolutions up to 1920x1200, including 1080p/60 with Deep Color and 2K. Audio signals can be routed independently, including embedded HDMI audio, with one XTP CP HDMI model also providing simultaneous multi-channel audio downmixing to two-channel PCM stereo audio for separate distribution.
Available in four-input and four-output sizes, the XTP CP HDMI boards provide the capability to distribute HDCP-compliant HDMI content within XTP Systems. The boards are fully compatible with DVI signals when used with optional Extron HDMI-DVI adapters.
The XTP CP 4i HDMI is an XTP input board capable of accepting signals from up to four local HDMI sources. It also features four balanced/unbalanced stereo audio inputs with audio breakaway capability for switching and distribution flexibility. Analog audio signals are digitized to two-channel PCM digital audio for separate audio routing within the system. To simplify integration, stereo audio can also be embedded into the signal stream for distribution alongside video and control signals. Incoming signals can be switched to an XTP® output board for local or remote signal distribution.
The XTP CP 4i HDMI DMA includes all of the features of the XTP CP 4i HDMI but with one additional feature. The XTP CP 4i HDMI DMA provides multi-channel audio downmixing to two-channel PCM stereo audio for separate audio routing.
The XTP CP 4o HDMI is an XTP output board with four local HDMI and analog audio outputs. Each HDMI port is HDCP-compliant with the ability to force HDCP on the output, regardless of the incoming signal type. Embedded audio or separate analog stereo audio signals are available for distribution. The board can also extract two-channel PCM stereo audio from embedded audio for separate local audio routing. For control of audio levels, the analog audio outputs feature volume adjustment and muting capabilities. Volume control at the output eliminates the need for preamplifiers in many AV systems. As an added feature, the board provides +5 VDC, 250 mA on the HDMI outputs for powering external peripheral devices. The XTP CP 4o HDMI is compatible with XTP input boards.
Extron XTP Systems
Extron XTP Systems provide a completely integrated switching and distribution solution for multiple digital and analog formats. They support local connectivity as well as extended transmission capability for sending high resolution video, audio, RS‑232, and Ethernet up to 330 feet (100 meters) over a shielded CATx cable and even greater distances over fiber optic cabling. Each system is HDCP compliant and delivers ultra‑fast, highly reliable digital switching with Extron's SpeedSwitch® Technology.
At the heart of a system is an XTP CrossPoint matrix switcher. The modular matrix switchers are expandable from 4x4 to 64x64, depending on frame size, and can be populated with a wide variety of XTP I/O matrix boards. Input and output boards provide direct HDMI, DVI, VGA, video, and audio connections to local sources and displays, and signal extension to remote endpoints when using XTP transmitters and receivers. The matrix switcher can also provide power to a remote XTP device over CATx cabling, depending on transmitter model.
The online XTP System Builder gives convenient access for complete system design. The tool also features a printable bill of materials, pricing, and quote submittal. Once the order is confirmed and received, the included XTP System Configuration Software enables easy setup and configuration right out of the box.
To configure, operate, and monitor the system in real time, user-friendly control software offers a complete view of all XTP devices from a computer. With hot‑swappable modular components, a wide selection of XTP transmitters and receivers, and advanced 24/7 system monitoring, XTP Systems are designed to provide continuous, trouble‑free operation in the most critical applications.
