Extron Electronics recently introduced the DTP T DSW 4K 233 and DTP T DSW 4K
333, three input switchers for sending DisplayPort, HDMI, or VGA, audio, and
control over a shielded CATx cable to Extron DTP-enabled products. The DTP T DSW
4K 233 extends signals up to 230 feet (70 meters), while the DTP T DSW 4K 333
extends signals up to 330 feet (100 meters). They provide DisplayPort, HDMI, and
VGA inputs, and one DTP output. Both DTP T DSW 4K models support video
resolutions up to 4K, including 2560×1600 and 1080p/60 Deep Colour. Analog stereo
audio embedding and RS-232 remote control facilitate integration in professional
environments. Integrator-friendly features include EDID Minder, auto-switching
between inputs, audio input assignment, and bidirectional RS-232 and IR pass-
through for remote AV device control. The low profile enclosure and remote power
capability enable discreet placement in lecterns, beneath tables, or wherever
needed to meet application requirements.
“The DTP T DSW 4K multi-format switchers allow integration of the latest digital
video formats alongside legacy VGA sources, with convenient input connectivity at
the conference table or lectern,” says Casey Hall, Vice President of Sales and
Marketing for Extron. “The small form factor, along with audio embedding and auto-
switching capability, makes these switchers a great choice for collaborative AV
environments.”
The DTP T DSW 4K 233 and DTP T DSW 4K 333 can be set up to automatically
switch when they detect active video signals, making them ideal for automatic
routing and unattended operation. Stereo analog audio can be embedded onto the
digital video output signal for transport over DTP. In addition, the analog audio input
can be assigned to any of the three video inputs, or it can be set to follow the input
switch. For added installation flexibility, the DTP T DSW 4K switchers can be
remotely powered by Extron DTP-enabled products over the shielded twisted pair
cable. They also offer a selectable HDBaseT output mode that provides compatibility
with any HDBaseT-enabled display.
