Figure 1. Typical Application of the DTP3 T 212 D
This section details the installation of the DTP3 T 212 D, including:
- Mounting the Transmitter
• Front and Top Panel Connections
• Rear Panel Connections - Connection Details
Mounting the Transmitter
ATTENTION:
The transmitter can be installed in a two-gang electrical wall box (see 'Site Preparation and Wall Box Installation' starting below), or with a mud ring (see Mud Ring Installation on page 6) with a decorator-style wallplate cover (supplied).
UL and Safety Guidelines
The following UL guidelines pertain to the installation of the decorator-style wallplate transmitters into a wall or furniture.
- These units are not to be connected to a centralized DC power source or used beyond their rated voltage range.
- This product is intended to be supplied by a power source marked "Class 2" or "LPS" rated 12 VDC, minimum 1.5 A.
Site Preparation and Wall Box Installation
Choose a location that allows cable runs without interference. Allow enough depth for both the wall box and the cables. Install the cables into the wall, furniture, or conduits before installing the wallplate.
NOTE: The extender units are very deep and have connectors on the back side. Extron recommends a 2-gang wall box that has a depth of at least 3.0 inches (7.6 cm) to accommodate the connectors and cables.
To install a new wall box, perform steps 1 through 8. If a suitable wall box is already installed, perform steps 5 through 6 on the next page. UL Listed wall boxes are recommended.
- Place the wall box against the installation surface, and mark the opening guidelines.
-
Cut out the material from the marked area.
-
Insert the wall box into the opening. The rear connectors on the box or wallplate should fit easily into the opening. Enlarge or smooth the edges of the opening if needed.
-
Secure the wall box with nails or screws, leaving the front edge flush with the outer wall or furniture surface.
NOTES:
- If attaching the wall box to wood, use four #8 or #10 screws or four 10-penny nails. A minimum of 0.5 inch (1.3 cm) of screw thread must penetrate the wood.
- If attaching the wall box to metal studs or furniture, use four #8 or #10 self-tapping sheet metal screws or machine bolts with matching nuts.

Figure 2. Installing the Wall Box and Mounting the Unit
- Feed the twisted pair cables and, if applicable, the power cables through the opening and through the wall box punch-out holes, securing them with cable clamps to provide strain relief.
NOTES:
- In order to fit in the wall box, the twisted pair cables and RJ-45 connectors should not have a boot installed.
-
One power supply can power both the transmitter and the receiver, so only one unit needs a power supply (see Power Supply Wiring on page 11).
-
Trim back and insulate exposed cable shields with heat shrink to reduce the chance of short circuits.
NOTE: To prevent short circuits, the outer foil shield can be cut back to the point where the cable exits the cable clamp.
- Connect the cables to the rear of the unit (see Rear Panel Connections on page 9).
- Connect front panel devices (see Front and Top Panel Connections on page 7), restore the power supply, and test the transmitter and receiver system. Make cabling adjustments before final installation, as the cables are inaccessible afterwards.
Mud Ring Installation
- Using the mud ring as a guide, mark the edges and cut out the material within the marked area.
- Insert the mud ring into the opening, rotate and secure the locking arms with the supplied screws shown in figure 3.

Figure 3. Installing the Mud Ring
- Follow steps 6 through 9 of Site Preparation and Wall Box Installation on page 4, and Final Installation.
Final Installation
After testing and making any adjustments, perform the following:
- At the power outlet, unplug the power supply.
NOTE: One power supply can power both the transmitter and compatible receiver (see Power Supply Wiring on page 11).
- Mount the transmitter into the wall box or mud ring, and attach the supplied decorator style faceplate to the unit (see figure 2 on page 5).
- At the power outlet, reconnect the power supply. This powers up both units if the compatible receiver is connected.

Figure 7. RJ-45 Pin Assignment for DTP Communication
ATTENTION:
Cable recommendations
Extron recommends using the following practices to achieve full transmission distances up to 330 feet (100 meters) and reduce transmission errors.
- Use Extron XTP DTP22 STP cable for the best performance.
- At a minimum, Extron recommends 22 AWG, solid conductor, STP cable with a minimum bandwidth of 500 MHz.
- Terminate cables with shielded connectors to the TIA/EIA T 568 B standard.
- Use no 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 shielded twisted pair 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 meters, 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.
Power Supply Wiring
A 12 VDC power supply is provided with the DTP3 T 212 D. Follow the instructions and figure 8 on page 12 to wire the provided 2-pole captive screw connector to your power supply.
CAUTION: Risk of electric shock. The wires must be kept separate while the power supply is plugged in. Remove power before wiring.
- The wires must be kept separate while the power supply is plugged in. Remove power before wiring.
- Always use a power supply supplied and or specified by Extron. Use of an unauthorized power supply voids all regulatory compliance certification and may cause damage to the supply and the end product.
- If not provided with a power supply, this product is intended to be supplied by a power source marked "Class 2" or "LPS" and rated at 12 VDC and a minimum of 1.5 A.
- The installation must always be in accordance with the applicable provisions of National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, article 725 and the Canadian Electrical Code part 1, section 16. The power supply shall not be permanently fixed to building structure or similar structure.
- Power supply voltage polarity is critical. Incorrect voltage polarity can damage the power supply and the unit. The ridges on the side of the cord identify the power cord negative lead (see figure 8).
- To verify the polarity before connection, plug in the power supply with no load and check the output with a voltmeter.
- Unless otherwise stated, the AC/DC adapters are not suitable for use in air handling spaces or in wall cavities.
To wire the power supply:
- Cut the DC output cord to the length needed.
- Strip the jacket to expose 3/16 inches (5 mm) of the conductors.
- Slide the leads into the supplied 2-pole captive screw plug, and use a small screwdriver to secure them.
- To verify the power cord polarity before connecting the plug, connect the power supply with no load and check the output with a voltmeter.

Operation
After the transmitter, compatible receiver, and their connected devices are powered up, the system is fully operational. If any problems are encountered, ensure that all cables are routed and connected properly.
Resetting
The rear panel RESET button initiates two levels of resets. Use a pointed stylus, ballpoint pen, or small screwdriver to access the recessed button.
ATTENTION:
NOTE: The switcher can also be reset to its factory default settings using SIS commands (see Resets on page 30) or PCS (see the DTP3 T 212 D PCS Help File).
| Reset Mode Summary | |||
| Activation Result Purpose | Notes | ||
| Run Factory Boot Code | Hold down the recessed RESET button while applying power to the unit. | The device reverts to the factory default firmware. | Use this mode to revert to the factory default version if incompatibility issues arise with user-loaded firmware. |
| NOTE: After this reset is performed, update the device with the latest firmware version. Do not operate the firmware version that results from this mode reset. This temporarily resets the device to factory default until power is recycled. To use factory default firmware, re-upload that version. | Firmware reverts to the factory default for a single power cycle. All user files and settings (drivers, audio and video adjustments, and so on) are maintained. | ||
| NOTE: If you do not want to update firmware, or you performed this reset by mistake, cycle power to the device to return to the firmware version running prior to the reset. | |||
| Full Factory Reset | Hold down the RESET button for about 9 seconds until the Power LED blinks three times (once at 3 seconds, again at 6 seconds, again at 9 seconds). Then release and press RESET button momentarily (for <1 second) within 1 second. | This mode performs a complete reset to factory defaults (except the firmware). | Use this mode to restart with the default configuration. This is equivalent to SIS command ZXXX (see Resets). |
| NOTE: Nothing happens if the momentary press does not occur within 1 second. | |||
Auto-switching
The transmitter can automatically select an active, connected input based on a configured priority using auto-switching.
When auto switch is enabled, it can be configured via SIS commands (see Auto-switch Mode on page 28) or PCS (see the DTP3 T 212 D PCS Help File):
Disabled
- Auto-switch disabled. Inputs must be manually selected.
Enabled (default)
- Highest Active Input — By default, priority is given to the highest active input.
- Lowest Active Input — Priority is given the lowest active input.
HDCP
Input
The HDMI and USB-C inputs negotiate and authenticate HDCP with the source device if the source requires HDCP encryption. The authentication process is repeated whenever the stored EDID is changed or updated, which is indicated by pulling HPD low.
Outputs
The output is pre-authenticated and encrypted, in accordance with the configured HDCP output mode using SIS commands (see Output HDCP Mode on page 29) or PCS (see the DTP3 T 212 D PCS Help File).
HDCP output modes
- Follows input (default) — Output is only encrypted when the input signal is encrypted.
• Always encrypt — Output encrypts the video regardless of whether the input video is encrypted or not.
HDCP Authorized setting
The HDCP Authorized setting, configurable via SIS commands (see Input HDCP Authorized Device on page 28) or PCS (see the DTP3 T 212 D PCS Help File), is for devices such as MacBooks ^® , iPhones ^® , iPads ^® , and some Windows ^® 7 sources that always encrypt their output, if the downstream sink is HDCP compliant.
- HDCP Authorized On — The HDMI inputs indicate to the sources that they are capable of handling HDCP content.
When an encrypted or unencrypted source is connected, the video is passed through the system.
- HDCP Authorized Off — The HDMI inputs indicate to the sources that they are not capable of handling HDCP content.
When a MacBook, or any of the other devices listed above, is connected, the output video is unencrypted.
When a source playing content that requires video encryption (for example, Blu-ray ^™ ) is connected, the source does not output video.
USB-C Lane Configuration
The host controller of the USB-C input can be configured to operate in one of two modes:
- 2 Lanes, up to 4K/30 video — Two high speed data lanes operate in HBR2 mode (5.4 Gbps x 2 lanes = 10.8 GBps).
NOTE: The 2 Lanes mode helps ensure compatibility with hybrid USB-C extension cables that have two optical channels for video and two copper channels for data.
- 4 Lanes, up to 4K/60 video (default) — All four high speed lanes operate in HBR2 mode (5.4 Gbps x 4 lanes = 21.6 Gbps).
This can be changed via SIS commands (see DisplayPort Alt Mode Lane Configuration on page 29).
Video Mute
There are three options for video mute:
• Output Mute Off (default) — The video input and audio signal is passed to the output.
- Output Mute On — The video output is muted (black), but sync and 5 V is still present. If present, the embedded audio is still passed to the sink device.
- Output Sync Mute On — The video output, sync, and 5 V are disabled. The embedded audio is not passed to the sink device. This allows the display to sleep if there is no signal present on the selected input.
This can be changed via SIS command (see Video Mute on page 28) or PCS (see the DTP3 T 212 D PCS Help File).
NOTE: Video mute reverts to default (unmuted) after a power cycle.
Auto Input Configuration
If video signal is present on the selected input, the digital or analog input audio embedded within the video signal is transmitted over the TMDS channel to the receiver. Select the audio on the input of the transmitter via SIS command (see Input Audio Format on page 29) or PCS (see the DTP3 T 212 D PCS Help File).
The audio input selections are:
• Auto — The transmitter selects between digital and analog audio based on the digital audio input signal.
• Digital audio is selected by default.
- Analog audio is selected when digital audio is not detected.
- Forced Digital — Digital audio is passed over the DTP output.
- Forced Analog — Analog audio is passed over the DTP output.
Output Audio Mute
The analog audio or digital embedded audio on the DTP/HDBT output can be muted via SIS command (see Audio Mute on page 29).
NOTE: Audio mute reverts to default (unmuted) after a power cycle.

SIS Configuration and Control
Use Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands to configure the DTP3 T 212 D. This section provides information about using those commands. The following topics are discussed:
- Host Control Ports
• Simple Instruction Set Control
• Command and Response Table for SIS Commands
Host Control Ports
Rear Panel Remote RS-232 Port
The rear panel control port (see figure 6, © on page 9) can be connected to a host device such as a computer running Extron DataViewer, available at www.extron.com. The port makes serial control of the switcher possible (see Over TP RS-232 and Remote RS-232 Control Wiring on page 12 to connect the port). Use the protocol information listed below to make the connection.
The protocol for the Remote serial port is as follows:
- 9600 baud
- no parity
- 8 data bits
- 1 stop bit
- no flow control
Front Panel Configuration USB-C Port
The front panel USB-C configuration port (see figure 4, D on page 7) can be connected to a host computer for configuration using SIS commands. To connect the switcher to a host computer, download the USB driver, follow the on-screen instructions, and configure the switcher as required.
Simple Instruction Set Control
Host-to-Unit Instructions
SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are required to begin or end a command character sequence. When a command is valid, the transmitter executes the command and sends a response to the host device. All responses from the transmitter to the host 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.
Device-Initiated Power-Up Message
When the device completes its start-up, it issues the following message to the host:
© Copyright 202x, Extron DTP3 T 212 D, Vx.xx, 60-1714-nn
- Vx.xx is the firmware version number.
- 60-1714-nn is the part number of the unit.
Error Responses
When the transmitter receives a valid SIS command, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. If the transmitter is unable to execute the command because the command is invalid or it contains invalid parameters, the transmitter returns an error response to the host. The error response codes are:
E01 – Invalid input number E13 – Invalid parameter
E06 – Invalid channel change E14 – Invalid for this configuration
E10 – Invalid command E17 – Invalid command for signal type
Time out
Pauses of 10 seconds or longer between command ASCII characters result in a time out. The command operation is aborted with no other indication.
Unsolicited Responses
The unit provides unsolicited status updates for items that can change their state externally, so that the configuration software and/or control system does not need to poll the device. The responses for the following are initiated automatically when the state changes on the device:
| InX1●All← | Broadcast when the input selection changes |
| SigX2●X2← | Broadcast when signal status changes on any input or output |
| HdcpI X1●X8← | Broadcast when HDCP status changes on any input |
| HdcpO X9← | Broadcast when HDCP status changes on the output |
| Rpwr X14← | Broadcast when the remote power toggle switch changes state |
| HdbtO X13← | Broadcast when the DTP/HDBT toggle switch changes state |
NOTE: See Symbol Definitions on page 27 for the symbol key.
Using the Command and Response Table
The Command and Response Table for SIS Commands begins on page 28. Symbols are used throughout the table to represent variables in the command response fields. Command and response examples are shown throughout the table. The ASCII to HEX conversion table (see figure 25) is for use with the command and response table.
