Bidirectional RS-232 and IR pass-through for AV device control — Bidirectional RS-232 control and IR signals can be transmitted alongside the video signal, allowing remote AV devices to be controlled without the need for additional cabling.

HDCP compliant

Supported HDMI specification features include data rates up to 10.2 Gbps, Deep Color up to 12-bit, 3D, and HD lossless audio formats

Key Minder continuously verifies HDCP compliance — Key Minder authenticates and maintains continuous HDCP encryption between input and output devices to enable simultaneous distribution of a single source signal to two or more displays.

EDID Minder automatically manages EDID communication between connected devices — EDID Minder ensures that the source powers up properly and reliably outputs content for display.

Supports EDID and HDCP transmission — DDC channels are actively buffered, allowing continuous communication between source and display.

HDCP authentication and signal presence confirmation — Provides real-time verification of HDCP status for each digital video input and output. This allows for simple, quick, and easy signal and HDCP verification through front panel LEDs, RS-232, USB, or Ethernet, providing valuable feedback to a system operator or helpdesk support staff.

HDCP Visual Confirmation provides a green signal when encrypted content is sent to a non-compliant display — A full-screen green signal is sent when HDCP-encrypted content is transmitted to a non-HDCP compliant display, providing immediate visual confirmation that protected content cannot be viewed on the display.

HDMI to DVI Interface Format Correction — Automatically enables or disables embedded audio and InfoFrames, and sets the correct color space for proper connection to HDMI and DVI displays.

RS-232 control port — Enables the use of serial commands for integration into a control system. Extron products use the SIS - Simple Instruction Set command protocol, a set of basic ASCII commands that allow for quick and easy programming.

RJ-45 signal and link LED indicators for DTP ports — Provides a means for validating signal flow and operation, allowing quick identification of connectivity issues.

Compatible with all DTP 230 and DTP 330 Series receivers and DTP-enabled products — Enables mixing and matching with desktop and wallplate receivers, as well as other DTP-enabled products to meet application requirements.

Tabletop Use

Affix the included rubber feet to the bottom of the unit and place it in any convenient location.

Mounting Kits

Mount the unit using any optional compatible mounting kit listed on the Extron website (www.extron.com), in accordance with the directions included with the kit. For rack mounting, see UL Rack-Mounting Guidelines below.

UL Rack-Mounting Guidelines

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirements pertain to the installation of the unit into a rack.

- Elevated operating ambient temperature — If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consider installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (TMA = +122 °F, +50 °C) specified by Extron.

- Reduced air flow — Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

- Mechanical loading — Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

- Circuit overloading — Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

- Reliable Earthing — Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply a connection other than a direct connection to a branch circuit, such as by using a power strip.

Remote RS-232 connector — To control the unit, connect an RS-232 device to this 3-pole, 3.5 mm captive screw connector and configure it as follows: 9600 baud rate, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity (see Wiring for RS-232 Control on page 10 for more information).

Connecting the Input Source

Use an HDMI cable to connect the input source to the female HDMI socket on the rear panel (see D on page 6).

Follow these instructions to secure the input and output HDMI connectors to the unit with the LockIt HDMI lacing bracket provided:

1. Plug the HDMI cable into the rear panel connection.
2. Loosen the HDMI connection mounting screw from the panel enough to allow the LockIt lacing bracket to be placed over it. The screw does not have to be removed.
3. Place the LockIt lacing bracket on the screw and against the HDMI connector, then tighten the screw to secure the bracket.

ATTENTION:

• Do not overtighten the HDMI connection mounting screw. The shield it fastens to is very thin and can easily be stripped.

• Ne serrez pas trop la vis de montage de la connexion HDMI. Le blindage auquel elle est attachée est très fin et peut facilement être dénudé.

• Loosely place the included tie wrap around the HDMI connector and the LockIt lacing bracket as shown.

• While holding the connector securely against the lacing bracket, tighten the tie wrap, then remove any excess length.

Twisted Pair Recommendations for DTP Communication

Use the following pin configurations for shielded twisted pair cables.

Supported Cables

The distribution amplifiers are compatible with shielded twisted pair cable (F/UTP, SF/UTP, and S/FTP).

ATTENTION:

Cable Recommendations

Extron recommends using the following practices to achieve full transmission distances 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 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.

Wiring for RS-232 Control

RS-232 communication between the distribution amplifier and a host PC can be used to update firmware or configure the unit using SIS commands (see Command and Response Table for SIS Commands on page 16).

The computer connects to either the rear panel 3-pole RS-232 port (K on page 7) or the front panel USB port (B on page 5) of the distribution amplifier.

NOTES:

• Neither port has precedence and commands from either port are handled in the order they are received.

• Extron recommends that the USB port is used for temporary connections. If a permanent connection is required, the RS-232 port should be used.

• Connect an RS-232 cable to the computer, using a female 9-pin D connector (see figure 4):

• Data received by the computer = pin 2
• Data transmitted by the computer = pin 3
• Ground = pin 5

1. Wire the opposite end of the cable to the provided 3-pole captive screw plug (see figure 4):

• Data transmitted by the DA plugs into the Tx (transmit) port
• Data received by the DA plugs into the Rx (receive) port
• Ground plugs into the G (ground) port

NOTES:

• The wiring in the RS-232 cables crosses over so that the Tx on the distribution amplifier connects to the Rx of the control device and vice versa. Ground always connects to ground.
• If the cable has a drain wire, tie the drain wire to the ground at both ends.

SIS Commands

This section provides information about the SIS commands that are used to configure the DTP HD DA4 and DTP HD DA8 series. The following topics are discussed:

• Introduction to SIS
• Symbols Used in this Guide
• DTP HD DA4/DA8 EDID Memory Locations
• Command and Response Table for SIS Commands

Introduction to SIS

The distribution amplifiers can be set up and controlled remotely via Extron SIS commands that are issued from a host computer running the Extron DataViewer utility or other control system. The host device can be connected to the RJ-45 LAN connector on the rear panel, the 3-pole captive screw connector on the rear panel, or to the mini USB config port on the front panel.

The serial protocol is 9600 baud, 8 data bit, 1 stop bit, and no parity.

NOTE: The wiring in the RS-232 cables crosses over so that the distribution amplifier transmit (Tx) wire connects with the control device receive (Rx) and vice versa.

Host-to-Distribution Amplifier Communications

SIS commands consist of strings (one or more characters per command field). No special characters are required to begin or end a command sequence. Unless otherwise stated, upper and lower case characters can be used interchangeably. Most responses from the distribution amplifier end with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ←), which signal the end of the response character string. When the switcher determines that a command is valid, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device.

Distribution Amplifier-initiated Messages

When a local event such as a change in signal status takes place, the distribution amplifier responds by sending a message to the host, indicating the status change. No response is required from the host.

EDID

User assigned mode

In user assigned mode, the user can select from 55 factory loaded EDID files, each categorized by rate type (PC or HDTV), video format (DVI or HDMI), audio type (2-Ch or Multi-Ch), and native resolution. The unit retains this setting after a power cycle.

Additionally, two user-loaded slots are available to save the EDID of any connected display. EDID saved to these slots are retained after a power cycle. Upon a factory reset, these EDIDs revert to the factory default (720p @ 60 Hz, 2-Ch audio).

A table showing the factory loaded EDID options is shown on the following page. The EDID memory location is labelled 4 for consistency with the value in the SIS commands.
