DESCRIPTION

The Extron XTP II CP HD 4K PLUS Input and Output Boards provide local connectivity for HDMI and separate analog stereo audio for XTP II CrossPoint® matrix switchers as well as the XTP CrossPoint models. The boards comply with HDCP 2.2, and support video signals at resolutions up to 4K/60 at 4:4:4 chroma sampling. Embedded digital audio signals can also be routed independently. The XTP II CP HD 4K PLUS I/O matrix boards are ideal for XTP Systems® that require flexible local routing of HDMI and analog audio signals.

Available in four-input and four-output models, the XTP II CP HD 4K PLUS I/O matrix boards provide the capability to distribute HDCP 2.2-compliant HDMI video of up to 4K/60 at full 4:4:4 chroma sampling. These boards are fully compatible with DVI signals when used with optional Extron HDMI-DVI adapters.

The XTP II CP 4i HD 4K PLUS 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 converted to two‑channel PCM digital audio for independent routing within the system. To simplify integration, stereo audio can also be embedded into the signal stream for distribution alongside video signals. Incoming signals can be switched to an XTP output board for local or remote signal distribution.

The XTP II CP 4o HD 4K PLUS is an XTP output board with four local HDMI and analog audio outputs. 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 II CP 4o HD 4K PLUS 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 outputs with analog stereo audio
* Supports computer and video resolutions up to 4K/60 @ 4:4:4 — Support of 4K/60 at 4:4:4 chroma sampling requires the XTP II CrossPoint Series.
* HDCP 2.2 compliant — Ensures display of content-protected 4K video 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 2.0b specification features include data rates up to 18 Gbps, HDR, 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 — 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, 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 — 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.
