The XTP II CrossPoint 3200 modular digital matrix switcher provides high performance switching of video and audio plus extension of bidirectional control and Ethernet in a future-ready integrated solution. The 50 Gbps digital backplane easily supports the data rate requirements for 8K video formats. To streamline integration, a full selection of XTP input and output boards offer local connectivity and extended transmission capability using a single CATx or fiber optic cable. The matrix switcher is HDCP compliant, and includes many integrator-friendly features, such as EDID Minder, Key Minder, and RS-232 insertion over Ethernet. Configurable for I/O sizes up to 32x32, the XTP II CrossPoint 3200 is ideal for professional AV environments that require unmatched switching speed and reliability with advanced system monitoring and control.
The XTP II CrossPoint matrix switcher is the heart of an XTP System that supports transmission of 4K video to local and remote endpoints. The 50 Gbps digital backplane ensures full compatibility with the highest video resolutions currently in use, such as 4K/60 with 4:4:4 color sampling, while also providing a future-ready upgrade path for new formats. The modular design allows the AV system to be customized to the application, with available input and output boards providing local distribution of HDMI, DVI, analog video, and audio connections in addition to long distance transmission to and from remote XTP transmitters and receivers. Each XTP board is hot-swappable so that the matrix switcher can be serviced or reconfigured without interrupting signal routing. Unoccupied board slots can be reserved for future system expansion.
XTP Systems designed with the XTP II CrossPoint 3200 also provide extensive audio signal routing and management features. Some of these features include integrating analog stereo audio alongside digital HDMI audio, HDMI audio embedding and de-embedding, as well as audio breakaway. In addition, it can provide extension of Ethernet plus RS-232 and IR over the same fiber optic or shielded CATx cable as used for 4K video and audio signal transmission. The use of a single cable for multiple signals streamlines device operation and control, simplifies the cabling infrastructure, and reduces the need for added network drops.
XTP CP Fiber 4K I/O matrix boards provide industry standard LC-type connectivity and are available in two formats: multimode and singlemode. MM models support OM4 multimode fiber optic cable, which is typically used within buildings or facilities with moderate-range transmission distances. SM models support singlemode cable, enabling transmission capability over extreme distances.
For XTP Systems that use a twisted pair cable infrastructure, transmissions that can include 4K video, audio, control, and Ethernet are sent up to 330 feet (100 meters) over a shielded CATx cable. Extron recommends Extron-certified XTP DTP 24 shielded twisted pair cable, shielded RJ-45 plugs, jacks, and couplers, which are engineered for optimum signal transmission. The XTP DTP 24 cable is certified to 475 MHz, and utilizes a SF/UTP design with four unshielded 24 AWG twisted pair conductors inside an overall braid and foil shield for superior performance and noise immunity.
