Twisted Pair Cable Termination and Recommendations for XTP Communication

Use the following pin configurations for twisted pair cables used for XTP communication.

Figure 7. Twisted Pair Cable Termination

Supported cables

The transmitter and receiver XTP connectors are compatible with shielded twisted pair (F/UTP, SF/UTP, and S/FTP) and unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) cables.

ATTENTION:

Cable recommendations

Extron recommends using the following practices for XTP communication to achieve full transmission distances up to 330 feet (100 meters) and reduce transmission errors.

- Use the following Extron XTP DTP 24 SF/UTP cables and connectors for the best performance:

• XTP DTP 24/1000 Non-Plenum 1000' (305 m) spool 22-236-03
• XTP DTP 24P/1000 Plenum 1000' (305 m) spool 22-235-03
• XTP DTP 24 Plug Package of 10 101-005-02

- If not using XTP DTP 24 cable, at a minimum, Extron recommends 24 AWG, solid conductor, STP cable with a minimum bandwidth of 400 MHz.

- Terminate cables with shielded connectors to the TIA/EIA-T568B standard.

- Limit the use of more than two pass-through points, which may include patch points, punch down connectors, couplers, and power injectors. If these pass-through points are required, use shielded couplers and punch down connectors.

NOTE: When using STP cable in bundles or conduits, consider the following:

• Do not exceed 40% fill capacity in conduits.
• Do not comb the cable for the first 20 m, where cables are straightened, aligned, and secured in tight bundles.
• Loosely place cables and limit the use of tie wraps or hook-and-loop fasteners.
• Separate twisted pair cables from AC power cables.

Twisted Pair Cable Termination for Pass-Through Ethernet Communication

The twisted pair cable used for Ethernet communication depends on the network speed. The LAN connectors support both 10Base-T (10 Mbps Ethernet) and 100Base-T (100 Mbps Fast Ethernet), half-duplex and full-duplex Ethernet connections. Terminate the RJ-45 connectors for Ethernet communication with straight-through or crossover termination standards.

NOTES:

• Do not use standard telephone cables. Telephone cables do not support Ethernet or Fast Ethernet.

• To avoid transmission errors, do not stretch or bend the cables.

• Straight-through (patch) cable — Wire both ends of the twisted pair cable with the T568B standard. Use this to connect to a switch, hub, or router.

• Crossover cable — Wire one end of the twisted pair cable with the T568A standard and the other with the T568B standard. Use this to connect to a computer.

Figure 8. RJ-45 Pin Assignment

RS-232 and IR Over XTP Communication

The RS-232 and IR Over XTP connector passes serial signals (such as projector control signals) and infrared data. To pass bidirectional serial command signals between XTP-compatible devices, connect a control device to the three poles (Tx, Rx, and G) under "RS-232" of the 5-pole captive screw connector. To transmit and receive IR signals, connect a control device to the three poles (G, Tx, and Rx) under "IR." The ground (G) pole is shared.

NOTE: RS-232 and IR data can be transmitted or received simultaneously (see figure 9 for wiring considerations).

Figure 9. RS-232 and IR Over XTP Connector Wiring Configuration

ATTENTION:

Apply power to the transmitter or receiver locally with the provided power supply (through the rear panel DC power connector) or remotely (through the XTP connector) with a power injector or a matrix switcher.

To power the transmitter or receiver locally, see figure 10 for wiring considerations.

Figure 10. Power Wiring

See the notifications on the next page for local power information and considerations.

ATTENTION:

TIP: Do not tin the stripped power supply leads. Tinned wires are not as secure in the captive screw connectors and could be pulled out.

Remote power

The XTP T HD 4K and XTP R HD 4K can be powered remotely through an XTP Power Injector or through an XTP matrix switcher.

ATTENTION:

To power the XTP T HD 4K or XTP R HD 4K remotely with an XTP Power Injector, power one device locally (see Local power on page 13) and connect an XTP power injector to the XTP cable run along the XTP connectors (see the XTP Power Injector User Guide at www.extron.com for more installation information).

Figure 11. Typical Pont-to-Point Application with Remote Power to an XTP R HD 4K

NOTE: The power injector provides remote power up to 330 feet with a shielded twisted pair cable with 24 AWG wire.

XTP matrix switcher

XTP matrix switchers have a fixed amount of power available to provide remote power to connected XTP devices (see the XTP matrix switcher user guide at www.extron.com for more details). To manage available power from the XTP matrix switcher, use the XTP System Configuration Software with the XTP matrix switcher.

Operation

After all transmitters, all receivers, and their connected devices are powered up, the system is fully operational. If any problems are encountered, verify that the cables are routed and connected properly. If problems persist, call the Extron S3 Sales & Technical Support Hotline (see the contact numbers on the last page of this guide for the nearest Extron office).

HDMI Audio Switch

The rear panel HDMI audio switches mute or unmute the embedded audio on the related HDMI connector (see figure 2, B on page 5 or figure 4, D on page 7). On the XTP T HD 4K, the audio switch affects the audio on the HDMI loop-through connector. On the XTP R HD 4K, the audio switch affects the audio on the HDMI output connector. The LED next to the switch lights when HDMI audio is enabled.

• Hold the HDMI audio switch up until the LED lights (about 1 second) to enable embedded audio on the associated HDMI connector.
• Hold the HDMI audio switch down until the LED turns off (about 1 second) to disable embedded audio on the associated HDMI connector.

The switch returns to the middle position after it has been released to allow continued control through SIS commands or the XTP System Configuration Software.

EDID

The XTP T HD 4K can record and save EDID in a user memory location on the transmitter. EDID can come from the loop-through display on the transmitter or the output display on the receiver. For EDID management, use the XTP System Configuration Software (see EDID Minder on page 35).

NOTE: In matrix applications, EDID on the transmitter is assigned by the matrix switcher using the XTP System Configuration Software.

Audio Output Overview

By default, the XTP T HD 4K prioritizes embedded digital audio over analog audio to send over the XTP communication. Use SIS commands (see SIS Configuration and Control on page 20) or the XTP System Configuration Software (see Configuration Software on page 27) to manually select the audio input.

NOTES:

• To pass analog audio without video to a display connected to the HDMI output connector on a connected receiver, the transmitter sends a black signal to simulate one of the following video signals:
• 720p @ 50 Hz
• 720p @ 60 Hz (default)
  • 1080p @ 60 Hz
• To set the black signal, see the Black video signal SIS commands on page 22 or Transmitter device settings on page 33.

The following table shows the audio formats available on the different audio output connectors on the receiver.

Rest Mode Summary
Mode	Activation	Result	Purpose and Notes
Factory Firmware Reset (mode 1)	Press and hold the recessedResetbutton while applying power to the device.	The device reverts to the factory default firmware for a single power cycle.	Use this reset to return the firmware to the factory version temporarily if an incompatibility issue arises with the current firmware.
	NOTE: After this reset, update the device with the latest firmware version. Do not operate the device with the firmware version that results from this reset.	NOTE: If this reset was performed by mistake or is no longer desired, cycle power to the device again to restore the firmware version running prior to the reset.
User Settings Reset (mode 5)	Hold down theResetbutton until the rear panel Power LED blinks three times (over approximately 9 seconds). Then, press theResetbutton again momentarily (<1 second).	The device reverts user settings to the factory default values (firmware excluded).All user configurations reset to default values including real-time adjustments.The rear panel Power LED blinks four times in quick succession during the reset.	Use this reset to restart with the default configuration. This is equivalent to the ZXXX SIS command (see the transmitterReset modeSIS command on page 24 or the receiverReset modeSIS command on page 26).

SIS Configuration and Control

This section contains SIS communication details and SIS commands and responses when the host device is connected directly to an XTP T HD 4K or XTP R HD 4K. Topics in this section include the following:

• Host Device Connection
  • SIS Overview
  • Command and Response Table for Transmitter SIS Commands
  • Command and Response Table for Receiver SIS Commands

Host Device Connection

Use a connected computer running the Extron DataViewer utility to send and receive SIS commands and responses. To connect directly to an XTP T HD 4K or XTP R HD 4K, connect the computer to the front panel USB configuration connector (see figure 12, B on page 16 or figure 13, B on page 17).

SIS Overview

Host and Device Communication

SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are required to begin or end a command sequence. When the XTP T HD 4K or XTP R HD 4K determines that a command is valid, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. All responses from the transmitter or receiver to the host device end with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ←), which signals the end of the response character string. A string is one or more characters.

Error Responses

If the transmitter or receiver determines a command is invalid or contains invalid parameters, it returns an error response to the host. The following error codes may apply to either device:

$$ \begin{array}{l} E \emptyset 1 = \text { Invalid input number } \ E 1 4 = \text { Not valid for this configuration } \ E 1 \emptyset = \text { Invalid command } E 1 7 = \text { Invalid command for signal type } \ E 1 2 = \text { Invalid port number } E 2 2 = \text { Busy } \ E 1 3 = \text { Invalid parameter } \ \end{array} $$

Command and Response Table Overview

The command and response tables for SIS commands list the commands the transmitter and receiver recognize as valid, the responses returned to the host, a description of the command function or results of executing the command, and some examples of commands in ASCII.

NOTE: Uppercase and lowercase text are interchangeable unless otherwise stated.

The transmitter and receiver have different commands and responses. See the following tables for commands and responses specific to the device.

• For transmitter commands and responses, see Command and Response Tables for Transmitter SIS Commands on the next page.
• For receiver commands and responses, see Command and Response Tables for Receiver SIS Commands on page 25.
