Extron DTP HD DA4 4K 230 HDMI to Four Output DTP DA - 230 feet (70 m)

Product Description

The Extron DTP HD DA4 4K 230 is a four-output HDMI distribution amplifier that takes one HDMI input with loop-through and distributes it to four DTP twisted pair outputs, sending HDMI video, audio, and control up to 230 feet (70 meters) over shielded CATx cable to Extron DTP-enabled products. As an HDMI to four-output DTP distribution amplifier, this 1U rack-mount unit supports video resolutions up to 4K and is purpose-built for commercial AV applications such as digital signage, presentation overflow rooms, and multi-display content distribution where a single source must reach several remote displays over a structured cabling infrastructure.

Each DTP output independently carries HDMI, embedded audio, bidirectional RS-232, and IR pass-through, and can be configured for compatibility with HDBaseT-enabled displays. The DA4 also accepts an analog stereo audio signal for simultaneous transmission over the same shielded twisted pair cable, eliminating a separate audio cable run, and provides remote powering of DTP receivers to simplify installation. System-level RS-232 control is available through Ethernet insertion, so integrators can manage attached AV devices across all remote locations from a single control port.

Two Extron-exclusive technologies streamline integration: EDID Minder manages EDID communication between sources and displays to ensure reliable output, while Key Minder authenticates and maintains continuous HDCP encryption so a single protected source can be distributed to all displays simultaneously. Outputs can be muted independently via Ethernet or RS-232, enabling content to be previewed on a local monitor before going live on the main display. Configuration is handled through Extron PCS Product Configuration Software over Ethernet, USB, or RS-232. The DTP HD DA4 4K 230 is compatible with all DTP 230 Series receivers and DTP-enabled products; explore additional Extron AV signal distribution gear in the Extron collection.

Key Features

• HDMI to Four DTP Outputs — The distribution amplifier takes one HDMI input and feeds four DTP 230 twisted pair outputs on RJ-45 for simultaneous distribution to multiple displays.
• 230-Foot CATx Transmission — Each output sends HDMI, audio, and control up to 230 feet (70 meters) at 1080p/60 over shielded twisted pair cable for an economical, easily installed infrastructure.
• 4K Resolution Support — The unit supports resolutions up to 4K/UHD, including 4K/60 with 4:2:0 chroma subsampling and 4K/30 at 4:4:4.
• Buffered HDMI Input Loop-Through — An active local HDMI output supports a local monitor or system expansion without an additional splitter.
• HDBaseT-Compatible Outputs — Each DTP output can be independently configured to drive HDBaseT-enabled displays with video, embedded audio, RS-232, and IR.
• Remote Powering of DTP Receivers — The amplifier powers each of the four DTP receivers over the twisted pair connection, eliminating separate power supplies at the remote endpoints.
• EDID Minder and Key Minder — EDID Minder manages EDID communication while Key Minder maintains continuous HDCP encryption for reliable simultaneous distribution of protected content.
• Bidirectional RS-232 and IR Control — RS-232 and IR signals pass through each DTP output, and RS-232 can be inserted over Ethernet for system-level AV device control.
• Independent Output Muting — Any output can be muted via Ethernet or RS-232 to preview content locally before it appears on the main presentation display.
• 1U Rack-Mount Enclosure — The full-rack-width metal enclosure ships with rack-mount hardware and an internal Extron Everlast power supply backed by a 7-year warranty.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

How far can the DTP HD DA4 4K 230 send video over CATx cable?

It transmits HDMI, audio, and control up to 230 feet (70 meters) at 1080p/60 over shielded twisted pair cable. For 4K/UHD or 2560x1600 at 60 Hz, the rated distance is up to 130 feet (40 meters). Extron strongly recommends XTP DTP 24 shielded twisted pair cable for optimal performance.

What displays and receivers is it compatible with?

The amplifier works with all DTP 230 Series receivers and DTP-enabled products, including desktop and wallplate receivers. Each output can also be independently configured for compatibility with HDBaseT-enabled displays, allowing direct connection without a separate receiver.

Does it require separate power supplies at the remote displays?

No. The DTP HD DA4 4K 230 provides remote power to each of its four DTP receivers over the same shielded twisted pair cable that carries video and control, which simplifies system design and installation.

How is the unit controlled and configured in an AV system?

It can be controlled over Ethernet, USB, or RS-232, and configured using Extron PCS Product Configuration Software. RS-232 can be inserted over the Ethernet port for system-level control of attached AV devices, and bidirectional RS-232 and IR pass through each DTP output to the remote endpoints.

What warranty and support are included?

The distribution amplifier carries a 3-year parts and labor warranty, and the internal Extron Everlast power supply is covered for 7 years parts and labor. A TAA-compliant version and a DoDIN APL Approved Product version are available on request.
