Extron has announced the introduction of the DTP3 T 212 D, a new two-gang decorator-style transmitter that sends USB-C, HDMI, audio, and control up to 330 feet (100 meters) over a shielded Cat-6A cable in supporting video resolutions up to 4K/60 @ 4:4:4 and is HDCP 2.3 compliant.
For maximum image quality and minimal latency, all supported video resolutions are transported without compression. The wallplate transmitter includes many of the same features as the rest of the DTP family, such as proprietary EDID Minder, auto-switching between inputs, and bidirectional RS-232 pass-through for remote AV device control.
A separate analog input enables audio embedding alongside the video signal. Also, it shares remote power with a DTP3-enabled product over the same twisted pair connection for more streamlined installation.
“This new DTP3 transmitter brings additional USB-C and HDMI connectivity options for your system designs,” says Casey Hall, chief marketing officer for Extron. “Its wall-mountable design provides convenient access for presenters while delivering the highest level of image quality over extended distances.”
The DTP3 T 212 D is designed to enable the reliable, long distance transmission of USB-C and HDMI 2.0b signals at data rates up to 18 Gbps. It supports HDR, Deep Color up to 12-bit, 3D, and embedded HD lossless audio formats.
In addition, the DTP3 output can be configured to send video and embedded audio, plus bidirectional RS‑232 signals to an HDBaseT-enabled display. DDC communication of EDID and HDCP is continuously maintained between source and display for direct compatibility and optimal signal transmission between devices.
