Extron Electronics recently introduced the new DTP2 Series, a family of twisted pair extenders “with advanced performance and innovative features,” according to the company press release.

The DTP2 Series “accommodates the full 18 Gbps data rate of HDMI 2.0b and supports video signals at resolutions up to 4K/60 at 4:4:4 chroma sampling,” the Extron announcement says. “These HDCP 2.2 compliant products can also be used for distribution of 4K HDR. The new series includes the DTP2 T 211 transmitter, DTP2 R 211 receiver, and the DTP2 T 212 switcher with integrated DTP2 transmitter, plus an independently assignable local HDMI output.”

Here’s more about the Extron DTP2 twisted pair extenders series:

The DTP2 Series is designed for distribution of HDMI and audio as well as bi-directional RS‑232 and IR signals up to 330 feet (100 meters) over a shielded CATx cable. The compact enclosure sizes and remote power capability make the DTP2 Series ideal for discreet placement in lecterns, beneath tables, behind flat panel displays, or wherever needed to meet application requirements.

“DTP2 incorporates the latest technologies to address continued advancements of digital video signaling and resolutions,” says Casey Hall, VP of worldwide sales and marketing for Extron. “These new products enable versatile AV designs while delivering the performance, reliability, and economical approach provided by DTP Systems.”

The DTP2 Series delivers reliable, long distance transmission of video, audio, and control signals. They support data rates up to 18 Gbps, deep color up to 12-bit, CEC pass-through, and embedded HD lossless audio formats.

In addition to supporting higher video data rates, DTP2 products offer new capabilities. The DTP2 T 212 switcher drives the DTP 2 and HDMI outputs simultaneously with the selected signal. To support local monitor applications, the HDMI output can be assigned to either of the HDMI inputs.
