Extron DTP3 CrossPoint 42 USB - 4x2 Scaling Matrix Switcher with USB Data

Product Description

The Extron DTP3 CrossPoint 42 USB is a compact 4x2 scaling matrix switcher built for commercial AV rooms that combine video switching with USB peripheral routing. It pairs the Extron Vector 4K scaling engine, capable of 4K/60 4:4:4, with USB-C and HDMI inputs, HDMI outputs, and a DTP3 output that extends video, embedded audio, USB data, power, and control up to 330 feet (100 meters) over a single shielded CAT 6A cable. As a 4x2 scaling matrix switcher with USB data, it handles host switching, a four-port USB hub, USB 10 Gbps at the local USB-C host port, and USB 2.0 data extension to a remote DTP3 receiver, making it well suited to conference rooms, huddle spaces, classrooms, and BYOD presentation environments.

Beyond switching and scaling, this matrix switcher provides USB-C power delivery, audio de-embedding and breakaway, switching transition effects, logo keying, and comprehensive EDID management. Both 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.

If your installation does not require USB peripheral routing, compare this model with the Extron DTP3 CrossPoint 42, which delivers the same 4x2 video switching and Vector 4K scaling without USB data support.

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.
• USB 10 Gbps data and four-port hub — Supports USB 10 Gbps at the local USB-C host port, host switching, a four-port hub, and USB 2.0 data extension over the DTP3 twisted pair connection.
• USB-C power delivery — Charges and powers a connected laptop or device with up to 60 watts, or up to 100 watts on the USB model, across standard USB-C power profiles.
• DTP3 twisted pair extension to 330 ft (100 m) — The DTP3 output sends video, embedded audio, USB data, power, and bidirectional RS-232 control over a single shielded CAT 6A cable to a DTP3 or first-generation DTP receiver.
• 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.
• 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 USB and the standard DTP3 CrossPoint 42?
The USB model adds USB peripheral routing: USB 10 Gbps at the local USB-C host port, a four-port hub, host switching, and USB 2.0 data extension over the DTP3 connection. The standard DTP3 CrossPoint 42 provides the same 4x2 switching and Vector 4K scaling without USB data support.

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.

Can it power and charge a connected laptop?
Yes. The USB-C input supports power delivery up to 60 watts, and up to 100 watts on the USB model, so a connected laptop can be charged while presenting.

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.
