NOTE: RS-232 and IR data can be transmitted simultaneously (see

RS-232 and IR Communication on page 10 for wiring details).

EXTP connector — Connect a twisted pair cable to the RJ-45 connector labeled XTP Out and the XTP input port on another XTP device to pass all signals (see TP Cable Termination and Recommendations on page 9). This cable carries the following signals:

Digital video

Digital audio

Bidirectional RS-232 and IR commands

Remote power

Ethernet communication

System communication

The Link LED lights amber when XTP devices are connected and communication is established.

The Signal LED lights green when the transmitter outputs video signal or test pattern.

ATTENTION:

Do not connect this connector to a computer data or telecommunications network.

XTP remote power is intended for indoor use only. No part of the network that uses XTP remote power should be routed outdoors (see Remote power on page 12).

FLAN connector — Connect a control device or device to be controlled to the transmitter for 10/100 Ethernet communication through this pass-through port. LEDs on the connector indicate link and activity status.

GPower connector and LED — Connect the external 12 V, 1.0 A power supply into the 2-pole captive screw connector. The Power LED lights to indicate the device is receiving power.

NOTE: XTP HDMI transmitters and receivers can also be powered remotely (see Power Connection on page 11).

XTP T HDMI, XTP R HDMI specifications

Extron Electronics is a renowned manufacturer of advanced technology solutions for the audiovisual industry. Among their cutting-edge products is the XTP R HDMI and XTP T HDMI, both of which play pivotal roles in signal transmission and distribution within complex AV environments.

The Extron XTP R HDMI is a powerful receiver designed to work seamlessly with Extron’s XTP Systems. This device offers robust HDMI signal processing and is capable of transmitting high-definition video and audio signals over long distances using standard twisted pair cabling. One of its main features is the ability to support resolutions up to 4K at 60 Hz, including HDCP 2.2 compliance, which is essential for transmitting protected content. The XTP R HDMI also includes various audio extraction options, allowing users to separate audio from the HDMI signal for independent audio processing.

On the other hand, the XTP T HDMI serves as a transmitter within the same ecosystem, designed to convert HDMI video and audio signals into a format suitable for long-distance transmission. This device also supports 4K resolution and comes with a variety of input options that can cater to diverse installation needs. The XTP T HDMI is equipped with scaling capabilities, enabling users to select a preferred output resolution to match display capabilities, ensuring optimal performance in varied AV environments.

One of the standout technologies included in both the XTP R HDMI and XTP T HDMI is the Extron XTP technology, which provides a robust and reliable way to distribute AV signals over a single twisted pair cable. This technology allows signals to travel distances up to 330 feet (100 meters) without compromising signal quality. Additionally, both units support various formats, including HDMI, allowing for comprehensive compatibility with various sources and displays.

The XTP systems offer flexible setup options with features such as EDID communication, which ensures that the source device can communicate effectively with the display for the best possible image quality. Furthermore, integration with Extron’s proprietary Global Configurator software facilitates simplified configuration and programming, leading to smoother installations and management.

In summary, the Extron XTP R HDMI and XTP T HDMI are essential components for professional AV setups, providing excellent performance in signal transmission with advanced features and technologies that ensure superior integration and functionality in diverse applications.
