OVERVIEW 

The Extron DTP HDMI 4K 230 Rx is a digital twisted pair receiver that works with Extron DTP^®-enabled products to send HDMI, audio, and bidirectional RS-232 and IR signals up to 230 feet (70 meters) over a shielded CATx cable. It provides an economical and effective means for extending HDMI with embedded multi-channel audio from HDMI-equipped devices. In addition, the DTP HDMI 4K 230 Rx accepts analog stereo audio signals from a DTP‑enabled product over the same shielded twisted pair cable. It supports video signals at resolutions up to 4K. The compact enclosure size and remote power capability make the DTP HDMI 4K 230 Rx ideal for discreet placement in lecterns, behind flat-panel displays, or wherever needed to meet application requirements.

The HDCP-compliant DTP HDMI 4K 230 Rx enables the reliable transmission of HDMI signals, supporting Deep Color up to 12‑bit, CEC pass-through, and embedded HD lossless audio formats. In addition, DDC communication of EDID and HDCP is continuously maintained between a source and display, ensuring direct compatibility and optimal signal transmission between devices. The DTP HDMI 4K 230 Rx also receives stereo analog audio from a DTP-enabled matrix switcher, switcher, or signal processor. The analog stereo audio signal is sent over the same shielded twisted pair cable as the HDMI and control signals, eliminating the need for a separate cable run to support analog audio at the receiver.

The twisted pair receiver provides other convenient, integrator-friendly features designed to help simplify installation. The DTP HDMI 4K 230 Rx supports simultaneous transmission of bidirectional RS‑232 and IR signals from a control system for AV device control. Also, the receiver can be remotely powered over the shielded twisted pair cable by a DTP-enabled product, allowing both devices to share one power supply.

The DTP HDMI 4K 230 Rx can be integrated with an Extron DTP CrossPoint^® Presentation Matrix Switcher, or other DTP‑enabled products to support displays and other output devices at remote locations. The receiver is housed in a 1" (2.5 cm) high, quarter rack width metal enclosure. The low profile design of the DTP HDMI 4K 230 Rx allows for discreet placement in lecterns and behind flat-panel displays.

Extron recommends Extron-certified XTP DTP 24 shielded twisted pair cable, shielded RJ‑45 plugs, jacks, and couplers engineered for optimum signal transmission with Extron DTP Series products. The XTP DTP 24 cable is certified to 475 MHz, and utilizes a SF/UTP design with four unshielded 24 AWG twisted pair conductors inside an overall braid and foil shield for superior performance and noise immunity.
