DESCRIPTION

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.

Features
* Four HDMI inputs or four HDMI outputs with stereo audio
* Supports computer and video resolutions up to 1920x1200, including 1080p/60 Deep Color and 2K
* HDCP compliant — Ensures display of content-protected media and interoperability with other HDCP-compliant devices.
* Automatic cable equalization — Cable input equalization optimizes signal performance for all incoming signals, ensuring pristine image quality is delivered throughout an XTP System.
* Automatic output reclocking — Reshapes and restores timing of digital video signals at each output, eliminating high frequency jitter to ensure reliable transmission over long cables.
* Audio breakaway enables independent audio and video switching — Provides the capability to break away an audio signal from its corresponding video signal.
* Supported HDMI specification features include data rates up to 6.75 Gbps, Deep Color up to 12-bit, 3D, and HD lossless audio formats
* User-selectable HDCP authorization — Allows individual inputs to appear HDCP compliant or non‑HDCP compliant to the connected source, which is beneficial if the source automatically encrypts all content when connected to an HDCP-compliant device. Protected material is not passed in non‑HDCP mode.
* SpeedSwitch® Technology provides exceptional switching speed for HDCP-encrypted content
* EDID Minder® automatically manages EDID communication between connected devices — EDID Minder ensures that all sources power up properly and reliably output content for display.
* Key Minder® continuously verifies HDCP compliance for quick, reliable switching — Key Minder authenticates and maintains continuous HDCP encryption between input and output devices to ensure quick and reliable switching in professional AV environments, while enabling simultaneous distribution of a single source to multiple displays.
* HDCP Visual Confirmation provides a green signal when encrypted content is sent to a non-compliant display — A full-screen green signal is sent when HDCP-encrypted content is transmitted to a non‑HDCP compliant display, providing immediate visual confirmation that protected content cannot be viewed on the display.
* Video muting control — Video can be muted, allowing the user to control content presentation.
* Local analog stereo audio inputs and outputs — The four balanced/unbalanced analog audio inputs are digitized to two-channel PCM digital audio for separate audio routing within the system.
* Audio input gain and attenuation — Allows the level of gain or attenuation to be set for each analog audio input, eliminating noticeable volume differences when switching between sources.
* Audio output volume adjustment — Eliminates the need for preamplifiers in many AV systems.
* HDMI to DVI Interface Format Correction — Automatically reformats HDMI source signals for output to a connected DVI display.
* Automatic color bit depth management — The switcher automatically adjusts color bit depth output based on the display EDID, preventing color compatibility conflicts between source and display.
* Internal color bars test pattern with or without audio for setup and calibration
* Provides +5 VDC, 250 mA power on HDMI outputs for external peripheral devices
* Hot-swappable — I/O boards can be added or removed without the need to power down the matrix switcher.
* Compatible with all XTP II CrossPoint and XTP CrossPoint matrix switchers — XTP Systems provide a flexible signal switching and distribution solution that is completely integrated, ensuring reliable routing of multiple digital and analog formats.
* Easy setup and commissioning with Extron XTP System Configuration Software
* New JITC Certified — Successfully completed interoperability and information assurance testing for use in government applications and other mission-critical environments.
