About the XTP HDMI Transmitter and Receiver

Both the XTP T HDMI transmitter and XTP R HDMI receiver send or receive video, audio, bidirectional RS-232 and IR, and Ethernet over a single twisted pair cable. They are HDCP-compliant and support 1080p/60 Deep Color and 1920x1200 signals, and embedded HD lossless audio formats. They work with Extron XTP devices in matrix or point-to-point applications for signal distribution and long-distance transmission (up to 330 feet) between remote endpoints, using shielded or unshielded CATx cable.

They can be powered locally or remotely through an Extron XTP Power Injector or XTP matrix switcher.

Both devices can be controlled through Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS) or the XTP Configuration Software (see SIS Configuration and Control on page 16 or XTP System Configuration Software on page 23).
