IntroductionThis document is a collection of best practices designed to ensure a successful

installation of an Extron DTP® System, and reliable performance throughout the entire

system.

DTP System Elements and CapabilitiesExtron DTP Systems is a family of products for extending audio, video, and control

signals, along with providing DC power over a single shielded CATx cable to span

distances not achievable with native video cabling such as HDMI. DTP Systems products

may be divided into the following broad functional types:

• DTP Transmitter – a product that combines AV and control input signals, and

reformats them for long distance transmission over a shielded CATx cable.

A variety of DTP transmitters are available to support video input signal types

including DisplayPort, HDMI, DVI, 3G-SDI, and VGA. Supported control signal types

include RS-232 and IR.

• DTP Receiver – A product that accepts DTP signals sent from a DTP transmitter,

and reproduces the AV and control signals for transmission to a display, switcher,

or other device.

• Distribution Amplifier – A product that accepts AV and control input signals,

and reformats them for long distance transmission over shielded CATx cable to

multiple destinations. These distribution amplifiers provide several DTP outputs

to extend the same source AV content to two or more displays in an application.

• DTP Switcher or Matrix Switcher – A video switching product supporting a variety

of input and output signal types, including DTP. A DTP switcher or matrix switcher

provides centralized switching, processing, and control for the AV system.

The simplest application for DTP products is point-to-point transmission of audio, video,

and control signals from a video source to a display. The advantages of this approach

over using conventional AV and control cabling are:

• The separate audio, video, and control signals are consolidated onto one shielded

CATx cable – This saves the cost of acquiring and installing separate cables as

well as minimizing the space occupied by the cable run.

• Transmission distance is greatly increased – Digital video formats such as HDMI

and DisplayPort were not originally meant for the extended cable lengths required

in professional installations. DTP products enable overall transmission distances

up to 230 feet (70 meters) or 330 feet (100 meters).

• Built-in video signal conversion – DTP endpoints, i.e. transmitters and receivers,

are available for a variety of video formats including DisplayPort, HDMI, DVI,

3G-SDI, and VGA. Video signal conversion built into the devices ensure that any

DTP transmitter is compatible with any DTP receiver, regardless of the transmitter's

input video format and receiver's output video format. See figure 1 below.

Beyond point-to-point signal extension, DTP products are available to provide centralized

AV switching, signal processing, and system control to function as the core of a complete

professional AV system, meanwhile delivering all the advantages of long distance cable

extension and consolidation.

The advantages of a centralized DTP switching system include:

• Compatibility with all DTP endpoints – The DTP connections on centralized

switchers are compatible with the entire line of DTP transmitters and receivers.

This gives the AV system designer freedom to choose endpoints that suit the

video input and output formats of sources and displays, provide sub-switching in

convenient locations, as well as provide reliable signal extension up to 230 feet

(70 meters) or 330 feet (100 meters) to accommodate the system’s distance

requirements.

• Full audio processing – Most DTP switching and signal processing products

provide audio embedding and de-embedding, and level adjustments to manage

the audio signal path.

Figure 1: This application illustrates point-to-point signal transmission where a DTP transmitter sends a DisplayPort video signal along with digital audio, RS-232 control signals from the AV control system, and power over a 330 foot (100 meter) length of shielded CATx cable to a DTP receiver and connected HDMI display. Note that the use of a DTP DisplayPort transmitter and a DTP HDMI receiver eliminates the need for any additional signal conversion from DisplayPort to HDMI.

• Remote power for endpoints – All DTP switching and signal processing products

can provide remote power to connected endpoints, simplifying the design and

installation by eliminating the need to power the endpoints separately.

• Large selection of products with diverse capabilities – The line of DTP switchers

ranges from the IN1604 DTP with four inputs and one DTP output, to the

DTP CrossPoint 108 4K with 10x8 matrix switching, 4K scaling, and DSP with

acoustic echo cancellation. DTP switchers are available to cover a wide variety

of AV system designs from conference rooms to auditoriums and divisible rooms.

Figure 2: This application depicts a centralized DTP AV switching system. DTP transmitters extend AV from two remote locations. The DTP CrossPoint provides AV matrix switching for two displays, along with audio power amplification. A touchpanel is connected to the built-in control processor, which inserts RS-232 signals onto the DTP connections to control the camera, DTP switching transmitter, and both displays.

Best Practices for System ImplementationThe following are guidelines for achieving optimal performance when installing

DTP Systems. We will cover key aspects of:

• Maximum transmission distances for extending audio, video, and control signals

• Proper cabling and connections to ensure optimal signal integrity

• Distributing AV content, including 4K digital video, and control signals

• Utilizing the remote powering capabilities of DTP products

• HDBaseT compatibility and integrating HDBaseT-enabled displays

Maximum Transmission DistanceExtron DTP products are available in two transmission distance grades:

• DTP 230 Products – Maximum distance of 230 feet (70 meters) for 1080p,

130 feet (40 meters) for resolutions greater than 1920x1200 e.g. 4K

• DTP 330 Products – Maximum distance of 330 feet (100 meters) regardless

of video resolution

In general, DTP endpoints, i.e. transmitters and receivers, are available in both DTP 330

and DTP 230 versions for design flexibility and optimized overall system cost. For

example, the Extron DTP T HWP 4K 231 D and DTP T HWP 4K 331 D HDMI transmitters

have identical functionality except for maximum transmission distance. In regards to

video and control signal capability, DTP 330 products are compatible with DTP 230

products; but when a DTP 230 product is connected to a DTP 330 product, the maximum

transmission distance is limited by the DTP 230 product at 230 feet (70 meters). When

transmitting 4K signals, DTP 230 products support a maximum transmission distance

of 130 feet (40 meters). We will delve into further detail in the “Distributing 4K Digital

Video” section later in this guide.

Cabling and ConnectionsWith the capability to simultaneously transport uncompressed video, audio, and

control signals, DTP System digital data rates are comparable to 10G Ethernet, and

therefore have similar cabling requirements. Table 1 indicates the data rates required

for uncompressed transport of some common video resolutions.

To reach the required transmission distances at these data rates, signal integrity is

of paramount importance. Proper wire gauge is essential to maintain signal strength,

appropriate shielding is needed to control interference, and precise cable construction

is necessary to limit crosstalk and to control signal reflections. Extron XTP DTP 24

shielded twisted pair cable meets all these criteria and is strongly recommended for

Table 1: Data rates for uncompressed transport of common video resolutions

DTP installations. As a minimum, Extron recommends solid conductor, 24 AWG

shielded twisted pair cable with minimum 400 MHz bandwidth. Skew-free twisted

pair cable is not recommended for DTP Systems.

When installing cable, there are a few additional recommendations that are vital to

ensuring optimal system performance. Avoid the use of patch points since they introduce

discontinuities in the cable run, adversely affecting signal loss and EMI issues. However,

if they are necessary, limit the quantity to two patch points per cable run. When bundling

cables in a system, do not fill conduit more than 40 percent nor comb the cable in the

first 20 meters. This reduces the possibility of alien crosstalk between cables, as does

limiting the amount of cable ties or Velcro used to group cables together. It is also

important to separate twisted pair cabling from AC power cables. Furthermore, use

an “S” pattern if looping is necessary, and maintain a minimum bend radius of 2.5"

(6.35 cm) for XTP DTP 24 cabling or 3.5” (8.9 cm) for XTP DTP 24P cabling.

Cable TerminationProfessional AV systems often require custom cable lengths for optimized cost and

space utilization. Unlike HDMI or DisplayPort, CATx cables for DTP Systems are very

amenable to field termination. DTP CATx terminations must follow the TIA/EIA 568B

wiring standard, as illustrated in figure 3.

To maintain shielding effectiveness, correctly ground the shield at both ends of the cable

and use shielded plug (male) or jack (female) connectors. If patch points are unavoidable,

shielded couplers are strongly recommended when two shielded, terminated cables

must be connected together.

Extron offers high quality cable termination supplies and accessories to ensure

proper shielding in DTP installations. The XTP DTP 24 Plug shielded RJ-45 plug kit

is designed to be crimped using the CTU 45 universal RJ-45 termination tool. The

shielded XTP DTP 24 Punch Down Jack features a keystone-style snap-in design for

easy installation in wallplates and other mounting frames. The XTP DTP 24 Shielded

RJ-45 Coupler also features a keystone snap-in design.

Extron XTP DTP 24 cable is a shielded twisted pair cable that is engineered for optimum

signal transmission in DTP Systems. It utilizes an SF/UTP design with four unshielded

24 AWG twisted pair conductors inside an overall braid and foil shield. XTP DTP 24

cable is certified to 475 MHz bandwidth at distances up to 330 feet (100 meters) and

has been independently tested and verified to meet performance requirements set by

the HDBaseT Alliance. Additionally, this cable is engineered and tested to exceed HDMI

error rate specifications of less than one pixel per billion at 100 meters. Plenum and

non-plenum rated versions are available to suit the particular needs of the installation.

Verifying Continuity and Signal PresenceVerify the continuity of installed Category twisted pair cable and Extron XTP DTP 24

shielded twisted pair cable using a wire map test and using LED indicators on the DTP

units. The wire map test is used to identify physical errors of wiring CATx twisted pair

cable in an installation. It ensures that a CATx cable has been properly terminated pin

for pin at each end. The wire map also checks for continuity to the remote end, shorts

between two or more conductors, crossed pairs, split pairs, reversed pairs, and any

other mis-wiring.

In addition to the wire map test, signal transmission can be verified by the signal and link

LED indicators associated with the DTP RJ-45 connector. When the signal flow between

two connected DTP products is successful, the signal and link indicators will remain lit

a solid green and solid amber color. Continuously blinking or unlit LEDs indicate faulty

signal transmission.

Distributing AV ContentEvery DTP Systems product has been carefully engineered to provide professional-grade

quality and reliability, with unique features to help integrators install and configure AV

systems of the highest quality. DTP Systems consist of a comprehensive line of products

supporting the various video formats encountered in pro AV and will evolve and grow as

video technology develops. Extron provides DTP products supporting HDMI, DisplayPort,

DVI, 3G-SDI/HD-SDI/SDI, and also analog formats such as RGB, YUV, composite, and

S-video. Supported video resolutions range from 480i up to 2560x1600 and 4K/UHD.

The high performance DTP scalers and signal processors convert between all of these

resolutions while preserving video quality. DTP products are available in wallplate, rack

mountable, and floor box form factors to suit professional environments. The extensive

variety of video formats, resolutions, and form factors available in DTP Systems make

it a complete solution.

Appendix 1 on page 15, is a summary of available DTP System products. Transmitters

and switchers support most video formats encountered in professional AV. Any product

with a DTP output is compatible with any product with a DTP input. Therefore, no

additional video format conversion is necessary, and the system designer can mix and

match transmitters and receivers to suit system requirements.

When incorporating a DisplayPort transmitter and receiver into an AV system, consider

whether the products support SST - Single Stream Transport or MST - Multi-Stream

Transport. Extron DTP products for DisplayPort support SST for video transmission

between a single source device and sink device.

In terms of EDID and HDCP management, DTP endpoints support DDC pass-through, so

DTP products deployed for simple point-to-point signal extension work as if connected

by standard video cabling. DTP switchers and matrix switchers feature Extron

EDID Minder® and Key Minder® technologies to give complete control over the system

EDID strategy and enable fast, reliable switching of video signals encrypted using HDCP.

All DTP products with HDMI, DVI, and DisplayPort connections are HDCP compliant.

Some products, as listed in Appendix 1, also support HDCP 2.2 for transmission and

display of protected 4K content. These products are backward-compatible with earlier

HDCP versions.

Distributing 4K Digital VideoDTP Systems offers a comprehensive range of products for extending, processing, and

switching 4K video content:

• Select DTP transmitters (see table A1-1)

• All DTP receivers, distribution amplifiers, and CrossPoint matrix switchers

All DTP products with 4K capability support 4K/30 at 8 bits per color and 4:4:4 chroma

sampling. Select transmitter and receiver products support HDCP 2.2 for point to point

distribution (see tables A1-1, A1-2). All DTP 330 products, including all DTP CrossPoint®

matrix switchers, support 4K transmission up to 330 feet (100 meters). For DTP 230

transmitters, receivers, and distribution amplifiers, the maximum distance for 4K video

is 130 feet (40 meters). Figure 5 is an example of extending 4K signals using the

DTP T DWP 4K 332 D.

The DTP CrossPoint 84 matrix switcher supports 4K switching, but not 4K scaling. It

accepts 4K at the HDMI and DTP inputs, and can route 4K signals to the HDMI outputs,

although the internal scaler will not accept 4K inputs. The DTP outputs are limited to

maximum resolutions of 1920x1200 and 1080p.

Figure 6: Complete 4K AV system for a divisible room, using the DTP CrossPoint 108 4K IPCP MA 70 for matrix switching, signal conversion, signal extension, audio, and control.

For applications requiring 4K switching and scaling, use the DTP CrossPoint 4K Series,

available in 10x8, 8x6, 8x4, and 8x2 switching configurations. Incorporating Extron

exclusive Vector™ 4K scaling technology, the DTP CrossPoint 4K Series provides

independent scaling up to 4K at each DTP output, or downscaling of 4K source signals for

interoperability with lower resolution displays to suit application needs. Figure 6 depicts

a complete 4K matrix switching system using the DTP CrossPoint 108 4K IPCP MA 70

to convert lower resolution signals for optimal viewing on displays throughout the

room. To ensure you select the ideal Extron 4K products, including DTP 4K products,

Extron identifies all of the parameters that are critical to meeting 4K video performance

requirements. This detailed product specification for 4K video performance is called the

Extron True4K™ Specification. A True 4K Specification always includes resolution, frame

rate, color sampling, and color bit depth, as well as information about the 4K video

signal types and the maximum 4K data rate supported by the product. See Figure 8 for

an example of a True4K specification.

Distributing Control SignalsA key advantage of DTP Systems is the ability to send control signals as well as AV over

a single shielded CATx cable. All DTP endpoints have connections for RS-232 and IR

to facilitate end-to-end control signal transmission. Figure 7a and 7b illustrate simple

point-to-point extension of control and video signals.

For centralized switching systems, Extron offers control signal pass-through in switchers

such as the MPS 602 and IN1608. Figure 9 illustrates how to extend pass-through

control signals for DTP switchers. Note that RS-232 jumper connections are required.

DTP CrossPoint matrix switchers have the added capability of Ethernet insertion. With

Ethernet insertion, a direct end-to-end RS-232 connection is not necessary. Rather,

RS-232 signals are generated at the switcher by a control processor connected via

Ethernet, freeing RS-232 ports at the control processor. Figure 10 depicts Ethernet

control extension. Many DTP switching transmitters also have additional RS-232

ports that are dedicated for control of the switching transmitter itself, to facilitate

input selection, HDCP authorization, and other functions driven by the system control

processor.

Distributing Analog AudioSeparate Analog Audio ChannelDTP transmitters are uniquely able to digitize analog audio and send it over DTP

alongside the video and control signals. This digitized analog audio is in addition to

the digital audio already embedded on the video signal. At the other end of the cable,

DTP receivers have a dedicated analog audio output for this signal. When sent to DTP

switchers and matrix switcher, this signal is treated as an additional analog stereo audio

input. See figure 11. Note that this is a true separate audio channel and is not embedded

onto the video signal. The availability of a separate analog audio channel is beneficial

when connecting to an external audio power amplifier, audio DSP, and speakers in an

audio system, or when integrating the DTP equipment with existing hardware.

Analog Audio EmbeddingAnother option to distribute analog audio is by embedding the audio onto the digital

video signal. Audio embedding streamlines integration and is particularly advantageous

when connecting to displays without analog audio inputs. This function can be

performed at the central switcher such as the IN1608 or DTP CrossPoint matrix

switcher. Additionally, select DTP transmitters have both separate audio channel

capability as well as audio embedding. These include all the two-input wallplate

products such as the DTP T UWP 232 D, DTP T UWP 332 D, DTP T HWP 232 D,

Remote PowerDTP endpoints have the flexibility to serve as either the source or the recipient of DC

power sent over the CATx cable. In simple point-to-point applications, the endpoints

can share a single power supply, located at either the transmitter or the receiver. See

figure 12.

When incorporating a centralized DTP switcher, the switcher can provide DC power

to all connected DTP endpoints, thus simplifying both the design and installation. See

figure 13. Note that the DTP T DSW 4K 233/333 products are exceptions to the above.

These products can supply power to a connected DTP receiver, but cannot be powered

remotely over the twisted pair connection.

HDBaseT CompatibilityDTP Systems products are based on HDBaseT technology, but also add proprietary

Extron technologies to enable additional functionality. As more display products

incorporate HDBaseT inputs, Extron has included an HDBaseT compatibility mode in

many new DTP products, with a growing number having full HDBaseT certification. See

Appendix 2. HDBaseT compatibility allows integrators to take advantage of HDBaseT-

enabled displays by eliminating the need for a receiver at the display video input.

HDBaseT-compatible DTP products include a switch to set the output to DTP or

HDBaseT mode. See figure 14. When set to HDBaseT mode, only digital video with

embedded audio, RS-232, and IR control are supported over the CATx cable. Remote

power capability and separate audio transmission are not supported. When installing

the DTP product in an HDBaseT environment, the output mode selection switch must

be set before connecting sources and displays. There is no change in transmission

distance capability between HDBaseT and DTP modes. Products capable of 330 feet

(100 meters) maximum cable distance remain so capable in either mode setting. The

same is true for products that are capable of 230 feet (70 meters) maximum cable

distance.
