Extron DTP3 CrossPoint 42 - 4x2 4K/60 Seamless Scaling Matrix Switcher

Product Description

The Extron DTP3 CrossPoint 42 is a compact 4x2 scaling matrix switcher for commercial AV rooms that need clean source switching with independent output scaling. It pairs the Extron Vector 4K scaling engine, capable of 4K/60 4:4:4, with three HDMI inputs and one USB-C input, two HDMI outputs, and a DTP3 output that extends video, embedded audio, power, and control up to 330 feet (100 meters) over a single shielded CAT 6A cable. As a 4x2 4K/60 scaling matrix switcher, it fits conference rooms, classrooms, lecterns, and presentation spaces where a single device must switch, scale, and distribute multiple sources to local and remote displays.

The switcher provides switching transition effects, logo keying, audio de-embedding and breakaway, USB-C power delivery, and comprehensive EDID management. Both the selectable HDMI and DTP3/XTP/HDBaseT outputs remain simultaneously active and HDCP compliant, and the unit is compatible with Extron XTP Systems for integration into facility-wide AV distribution. This model does not include USB data routing.

If your installation needs USB peripheral routing, host switching, and USB data extension, compare this model with the Extron DTP3 CrossPoint 42 USB, which adds USB 10 Gbps data and a four-port USB hub.

Key Features

• 4x2 scaling matrix switcher — Switches three HDMI inputs and one USB-C input to two outputs, with independent scaling for clean, format-matched signals at each display.
• Vector 4K scaling engine — Extron Vector 4K technology provides 30-bit precision upscaling and downscaling of SD, HD, and 4K signals up to 4K/60 4:4:4 without losing image detail.
• DTP3 twisted pair extension to 330 ft (100 m) — The DTP3 output sends video, embedded audio, power, and bidirectional RS-232 control over a single shielded CAT 6A cable to a DTP3 or first-generation DTP receiver.
• USB-C input with power delivery — Accepts DisplayPort 1.2 Alt Mode video over USB-C and charges or powers a connected device with up to 60 watts.
• HDBaseT and XTP compatibility — The DTP3 output can be configured for HDBaseT-enabled displays, and the switcher connects into Extron XTP Systems for centralized AV distribution.
• Switching transition effects and logo keying — Offers freeze/fade, cut through black, and fade through black transitions, plus insertion of a custom logo image in PNG, BMP, JPEG, GIF, or TIFF format.
• Comprehensive EDID management — EDID Minder provides a library of EDID files plus capture and upload, accessible in Extron PCS software, to keep sources and displays correctly matched.
• Flexible audio routing — Provides balanced or unbalanced analog stereo output, audio de-embedding from HDMI and DTP3/XTP inputs, and support for a wide range of source formats.
• Simultaneous active outputs — The selectable HDMI and DTP3/XTP/HDBaseT outputs are simultaneously active and HDCP compliant for local and remote display.
• Ethernet, USB, and SIS control — Configurable over Gigabit Ethernet, IP over USB-C, and an internal web page using Extron PCS and the Simple Instruction Set, with 802.1X security support.
• Compact under-table enclosure — Housed in a 1U, half rack width metal enclosure with pre-installed rack brackets for under-table, credenza, or lectern mounting.
• 3-year warranty — Backed by an Extron 3-year parts and labor warranty for commercial deployments.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the DTP3 CrossPoint 42 and the USB model?
This model provides 4x2 video switching and Vector 4K scaling without USB data routing. The DTP3 CrossPoint 42 USB adds USB 10 Gbps data, a four-port USB hub, host switching, and USB 2.0 data extension over the DTP3 connection.

How far can the DTP3 output extend signals?
The DTP3 output extends 1080p @ 60 Hz and 4K/UHD @ 30 Hz up to 330 feet (100 meters), and 4K/UHD @ 60 Hz up to 175 feet (53 meters) with no couplers, over shielded twisted pair cable.

Does it support 4K/60 scaling?
Yes. The Vector 4K scaling engine supports input and scaled output up to 4K/60 4:4:4, with 30-bit precision processing for both upscaling and downscaling.

How is it installed and controlled?
It mounts in a 1U half rack width enclosure with pre-installed brackets and supports under-table or credenza placement. Control and configuration are available over Gigabit Ethernet, IP over USB-C, and an internal web page using Extron PCS and SIS commands.

Is it compatible with existing Extron DTP and XTP infrastructure?
Yes. The DTP3 output works with DTP3 and first-generation DTP receivers and can be configured for HDBaseT-enabled displays, and the switcher integrates with Extron XTP Systems.

What warranty is included?
The unit is covered by an Extron 3-year parts and labor warranty.
