Extron DTP CrossPoint 84 4K IPCP Q SA 2 x 50 Watt Stereo Amp, AV LAN, 8x4 Seamless 4K Scaling Presentation Matrix Switcher

The Extron DTP CrossPoint 84 4K IPCP Q SA consolidates an 8x4 4K matrix switcher, Vector 4K scaler, ProDSP audio processor with AEC, 2x50W stereo Class D amplifier, and IPCP Pro xi quad-core control processor into a single 2U rack-mount enclosure. For integrators specifying multi-display presentation spaces that require local amplification and full system control, this is a purpose-built single-chassis solution.

Product Overview

The DTP CrossPoint 84 4K IPCP Q SA is an 8x4 matrix switcher designed for conference rooms, lecture halls, and divisible meeting spaces where multiple displays, sound reinforcement, and centralized AV control are required from a single device. It accepts six HDMI inputs and two DTP twisted pair inputs, routes signals to two non-scaled HDMI outputs and two independently scaled DTP outputs, and includes a full-featured DSP with four-channel acoustic echo cancellation for conferencing. The integrated IPCP Pro 355MQ xi quad-core control processor — with a dedicated three-port AV LAN switch — enables complete, programmable AV system control without additional hardware. The SA-model stereo power amplifier delivers 50 watts per channel into 4 ohms, making this a self-contained system backbone for rooms requiring direct speaker drive.

Product Description

Specified in commercial AV installations where rack space and component count are primary concerns, the DTP CrossPoint 84 4K IPCP Q SA replaces up to ten discrete AV components with a single 2U full-rack-width unit. The 8x4 matrix switcher handles video signal routing for all HDMI and DTP inputs, with the two scaled DTP outputs leveraging Extron's Vector 4K engine — 30-bit precision scaling with full 4:4:4 chroma sampling — for independent per-output resolution control from 640x480 through 4K. DTP outputs are HDBaseT-compatible and support signal extension up to 330 feet over shielded CATx cable, with bidirectional RS-232 and IR insertion over the same run. The ProDSP audio processor provides a 32/64-bit floating point DSP engine with studio-grade 24-bit/48kHz converters, four mic/line inputs with 48V phantom power, audio breakaway, S/PDIF output, and four-channel AEC with noise cancellation for videoconferencing applications. The built-in automixer supports up to eight microphone groups in gated or gain-sharing modes. EDID Minder, Key Minder, and SpeedSwitch technologies ensure reliable HDCP handling and fast source switching. Configuration is handled via Extron's PCS software, front panel QS-FPC controller, or Ethernet/RS-232 control. Available at Creation Networks.

Key Features

• 8x4 4K Matrix Switcher — Routes six HDMI and two DTP twisted pair inputs to two HDMI and two independently scaled DTP outputs in a 2U, full-rack-width enclosure, consolidating an entire AV signal chain into a single chassis.
• Vector 4K Scaling Engine — Independent per-output 4K scaling on both DTP outputs using 30-bit precision processing and 4:4:4 chroma sampling; supports scaled resolutions from 640x480 through 4K (3840x2160 and 4096x2160).
• DTP Twisted Pair Inputs and Outputs — Two DTP inputs and two DTP outputs extend HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI, or VGA signals up to 330 feet (100 m) over shielded CATx, with embedded analog audio, bidirectional RS-232, IR, and remote power over the same cable run.
• HDBaseT-Compatible DTP Outputs — DTP outputs can be configured for HDBaseT mode to connect directly to HDBaseT-enabled displays, extending video, audio, and control signals up to 330 feet without additional receivers.
• Integrated IPCP Pro 355MQ xi Quad-Core Control Processor — Provides full AV system control with 2 GB RAM, 8 GB Flash, and a dedicated three-port AV LAN switch that isolates AV devices from the corporate network while enabling centralized management.
• Three-Port AV LAN Switch — Keeps AV control traffic on an isolated segment, protecting connected devices from network intrusion while allowing Extron PCS, DSP Configurator, and XTP Configurator to manage endpoints from the LAN.
• ProDSP 32/64-Bit Floating Point Audio Processor — Full-featured DSP with 24-bit/48kHz converters, studio-grade noise floor, and comprehensive tools including level control, EQ, dynamics, delay, feedback suppression, ducking, and matrix mixing.
• Four-Channel Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) — Independent AEC per channel with fast convergence for intelligible conferencing even in double-talk conditions or when wireless microphones are in use at the near end.
• Automixer with Eight Microphone Groups — Gated and gain-sharing automix modes with adjustable gating threshold, signal level reduction, and timing parameters per channel to eliminate the chop artifact common in traditional gated automixers.
• Four Mic/Line Inputs with 48V Phantom Power — Accepts condenser microphones directly; inputs are matrix mixable into any of eight stereo output buses with per-input gain adjustment from -18 dB to +80 dB in 0.1 dB steps.
• Integrated 2x50W Stereo Class D Amplifier — SA-model power amplifier delivers 50W rms per channel into 4 ohms or 25W rms per channel into 8 ohms with Extron's patented CDRS (Class D Ripple Suppression) for clean audio output and reduced RF emissions.
• Digital Audio Expansion Port (EXP) — RJ-45-based expansion port provides 16x16 I/O channel transport to an Extron DMP 128 Plus processor over shielded CAT 6 cable (up to 10 m), enabling scalable audio I/O for larger rooms.
• EDID Minder, Key Minder, and SpeedSwitch — EDID Minder manages display-to-source EDID communication; Key Minder maintains continuous HDCP encryption between inputs and outputs; SpeedSwitch delivers fast switching for HDCP-encrypted content.
• Seamless Switching Transitions — Freeze/cut, freeze/fade, cut through black, and fade through black transition effects available on scaled DTP outputs for professional, glitch-free source changes in presentation environments.
• Logo Keying and Test Pattern Output — Up to 16 logo graphics (BMP, JPG, PNG, TIFF) up to 4096x2160 can be overlaid on scaled video outputs; internal test patterns support display calibration during system commissioning.
• QS-FPC Front Panel Controller — Tri-color backlit discrete input/output buttons allow intuitive local operation; lockout mode prevents unauthorized switching in unsupervised spaces.

Technical Specifications

Typical Application

The DTP CrossPoint 84 4K IPCP Q SA is typically specified for multi-display conference rooms, divisible training spaces, and lecture halls where a single rack device must handle presentation switching, display scaling, mic mixing with AEC for conferencing, local speaker amplification, and full AV system control. Integrators choose this platform when room design requires DTP or HDBaseT signal extension to wall plates or ceiling-mounted projectors, and when the facility calls for standardized room control using TouchLink Pro touchpanels or eBUS button panels with Global Configurator.
