Extron has announced the immediate availability of the DTP3 T 203, a new three-input twisted pair transmitter for sending USB-C video, HDMI, and control up to 330 feet (100 meters) over a shielded CAT 6A cable that’s designed presentation venues, conference rooms, and environments that require extension of USB-C, HDMI, and control over long distances.
This DTP3 transmitter supports 4K/60 4:4:4 signals and is HDCP 2.3 compliant. To maximize image quality and eliminate latency, all supported video resolutions are transported without compression. Capabilities such as 60 W of USB-C charging, dual buffered HDMI and DTP outputs, contact closure with tally output, and Ethernet remote control facilitate integration in professional environments.
Additional capabilities include EDID management, auto-switching between inputs, and bidirectional RS-232 pass-through for control of remote AV devices.
“We are excited to bring USB-C connectivity into our growing lineup of third generation DTP products,” says Casey Hall, chief marketing officer at Extron. “Simultaneous device charging along with HDMI switching and 4K/60 4:4:4 signal transmission makes the DTP3 T 203 ideal for a wide range of applications.”
The DTP3 T 203 provides switching and transmission of USB-C and HDMI video at data rates up to 18 Gbps. In addition to enabling uncompressed extension of video, it supports HDR, Deep Color up to 12-bit, 3D, embedded HD lossless audio formats, and CEC. The transmitter is compatible with Show Me cables, which provide onnectivity and user input selection and control for TeamWork Collaboration Systems.
It also offers simultaneous transmission of bidirectional RS-232 signals from a control system for AV device control and Extron’s EDID Minder technology, which helps ensure connected sources power up properly and reliably output content for display. Also, the DTP3 output can be configured to send video and embedded audio, plus control, to an HDBaseT-enabled display.
