Extron Electronics has introduced two new members of its Extron DTP2 Switcher/Receivers series, the DTP2 R 212 and the DTP2 R 212 SA, citing all-new performance and capabilities. These HDCP 2.2 compliant receivers support data rates up to 18 Gbps and video signals up to 4K/60 with 4:4:4 chroma sampling, including 4K HDR, according to an Extron press release.

Both models feature DTP2 inputs designed to work with Extron DTP‑enabled products for distribution of HDMI, audio, and bidirectional RS-232 and IR signals up to 330 feet (100 meters) over a shielded Cat x cable, adds the company.
An HDMI input provides connectivity for a video source, such as an Extron ShareLink, located near the display to support collaboration environments. These HDCP 2.2 compliant receivers support data rates up to 18 Gbps and video signals up to 4K/60 with 4:4:4 chroma sampling, including 4K HDR. The Ethernet control port supports display control and offers convenient system management. The R 212 SA model also features a built-in Class D stereo amplifier.
“These R 212 receivers are ideal for small rooms and huddle spaces,” says Casey Hall, VP of worldwide sales and marketing, Extron. “The HDMI input, built-in amplifier, and ease of controlling displays bring combined functionality and simplified integration to these environments.”
More from Extron’s DTP2 press release:
The R 212 and DTP2 R 212 SA enable the reliable, long distance transmission of HDMI signals at up to 18 Gbps with support for HDR, Deep Color up to 12-bit, CEC pass-through, and embedded HD lossless audio formats. A local HDMI input allows connection of an additional video source at the display, which is beneficial in BYOD applications where the display may need to support both a local collaboration appliance and remote sources. The standard version DTP2 R 212 without amplifier can be remotely powered by a DTP2 transmitter over the twisted pair connection. It can also be configured to provide power to the connected transmitter.
