DESCRIPTION
The XTP CP 4i VGA Input Board features universal video inputs that automatically detect incoming RGBHV, HD component video, S-video, and composite video signals. It provides the capability to connect a variety of local analog video sources to XTP Systems®. The XTP® board digitizes all incoming formats, and applies SD Pro processing to deinterlace 480i and 576i video signals for reliable display on a variety of output devices. It also features analog stereo audio inputs for independent routing of audio signals.
The XTP CP 4i VGA board switches high resolution video signals up to 1920x1200, including 1080p/60, and stereo audio. All incoming AV signals are digitized and can be switched to any XTP CP output board for local or remote signal distribution within XTP Systems. Extron-exclusive SD Pro processing ensures compatibility with HDMI and DVI-equipped displays, without the need for additional scalers. Other integrator-friendly features include automatic input format detection, a substantial variety of picture controls, and EDID Minder®, which automatically manages EDID communication between the source and destination, ensuring reliable transmission of the digitized signal.
Four balanced/unbalanced stereo audio inputs with audio breakaway capability, volume adjustment, and muting capabilities add switching and distribution flexibility. Audio signals are digitized to two-channel PCM digital audio for separate audio routing within the system. Audio breakaway provides the capability to separate audio signals from corresponding video signals for switching to different destinations. These digitized signals can also be embedded into the signal stream of the HDMI, DVI, and XTP twisted pair outputs.
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 universal inputs with stereo audio
* Supports computer and video up to 1920x1200, including 1080p/60
* Accepts RGBHV, HD component video, S-video, and composite video — Each of the four universal inputs can accept RGBHV, HD component video, S‑video, or composite video from analog sources for signal digitization and transmission through an XTP CrossPoint System.
* Auto input format detection — The XTP CP 4i VGA board detects the incoming signal format and automatically converts it to a digital TMDS signal for routing. This feature can reduce the number of required outputs for an XTP CrossPoint matrix switcher, lowering system cost while improving manageability.
* Analog-to-digital signal conversion — Analog signals are digitized, sending a reliable, high quality digital video signal to the destination.
* SD Pro processing provides deinterlacing of standard definition video — SD Pro processing deinterlaces 480i and 576i signals for compatibility with HDMI and DVI-equipped displays, without the need for additional scalers.
* EDID Minder® automatically manages EDID communication between connected devices — EDID Minder ensures that all sources power up properly and reliably output content for display.
* Local analog stereo audio inputs — 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 breakaway enables independent audio and video switching — Provides the capability to break away an audio signal from its corresponding video signal.
* Picture and audio adjustments — Multiple picture adjustments are available including color, tint, contrast, brightness, and detail picture controls. Audio adjustments include local audio input level adjustment of +18 dB to -18 dB. Both audio and video can be muted.
* Internal color bars test pattern with or without audio for setup and calibration
* Hot-swappable — I/O boards can be added or removed without the need to power down the matrix switcher.
* Video muting control — Video can be muted, allowing the user to control content presentation.
* 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.
