About this Guide
This user guide contains installation, configuration, and operating information for the
DTPHD DA 4K and DTP HD DA8 4K series of distribution amplifiers.
NOTE: Throughout this guide, the general terms “distribution amplifier” or “DA” are used
interchangably to refer to the DTPHD DA 4K and DTP HD DA8 4K series of distribution
amplifiers.
Product Description
These Extron distribution amplifiers distribute one HDMIinput signal to four
(DTPHDDA44K 230 and DTP HD DA4 4K 330 models) or eight (DTP HD DA8 4K 230 and
DTP HD DA8 4K 330 models) simultaneous outputs over shielded twisted pair (STP) cables.
The 230 models distribute one HDMI input signal up to 230 feet (70 meters) and the 330
models distribute one HDMI input signal up to 330 feet (100 meters). All models are fully
High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) compliant.
These distribution amplifiers support data rates up to 10.2 Gbps (3.4 Gbps per color) with
up to 12-bit deep color and use the EDID Minder feature for EDID management.
The automatic output compatibility correction feature scans each output device to ensure
that the output signal is compatible with the color depth and format requirements of the
device. Each output is adjusted independently.
Features
• Distributes HDMI plus control and analog audio up to 230 feet (70 meters) or
330 feet (100 meters) over STP cable (depending on the model)
• Inputs: One HDMI with buffered input loop‑through, one 3.5 mm stereo mini
jack for audio with loop‑through
• Outputs: Four (DTP HD DA4 4K models) or eight (DTP HD DA8 4K models) DTP
twisted pair outputs on RJ‑45
• Supports computer video up to 2560x1600, HDTV 1080p/60 Deep Color, and 4K
resolutions
• DTP outputs are compatible with HDBaseT‑enabled devices — Each DTP output
can be configured to send video and embedded audio, plus bidirectional RS-232 and IR
signals to an HDBaseT-enabled device.
About this Guide
Product Description
Features

Extron DTP HD DA 4K Series • Introduction 2
• HDMI input loop‑through — The DTP HD DA 4K series features an active local HDMI
output for local monitor support or system expansion.
• Audio input with loop‑through accepts additional analog stereo audio
signals— The DTP HD DA 4K series accepts stereo analog audio signals for
simultaneous transmission over the same shielded twisted pair cable, and it includes
a loop-through for local audio system and monitoring needs. Analog audio is not
embedded onto the digital video signal, nor is digital audio de-embedded from the
digital video signal.
• Supports multiple embedded audio formats — The DTP HD DA 4K series is
compatible with a broad range of multi-channel audio signals, providing reliable
operation with HDMI sources.
• Remote powering of DTP receivers — The DTP HD DA 4K series can provide power
to four or eight DTP receivers over the twisted pair connections, eliminating the need for
separate power supplies at the remote units.
• RS‑232 insertion from the Ethernet control port — System level AV device control
to all remote locations via the Ethernet port on the distribution amplifier, providing
control of the attached devices without needing additional equipment.
• Bidirectional RS‑232 and IR pass‑through for AV device control — Bidirectional
RS-232 control and IR signals can be transmitted alongside the video signal, allowing
remote AV devices to be controlled without the need for additional cabling.
• HDCP compliant
• Supported HDMI specification features include data rates up to 10.2 Gbps,
Deep Color up to 12‑bit, 3D, and HD lossless audio formats
• Key Minder continuously verifies HDCP compliance — Key Minder authenticates
and maintains continuous HDCP encryption between input and output devices to
enable simultaneous distribution of a single source signal to two or more displays.
• EDID Minder automatically manages EDID communication between connected
devices — EDID Minder ensures that the source powers up properly and reliably
outputs content for display.
• Supports EDID and HDCP transmission — DDC channels are actively buffered,
allowing continuous communication between source and display.
• HDCP authentication and signal presence confirmation — Provides real-time
verification of HDCP status for each digital video input and output.
• HDCP Visual Confirmation provides a green signal when encrypted content
is sent to a non‑compliant display — A full-screen green signal is sent when
HDCP-encrypted content is transmitted to a non-HDCP compliant display, providing
immediate visual confirmation that protected content cannot be viewed on the display.
• HDMI to DVI Interface Format Correction — Automatically enables or disables
embedded audio and InfoFrames, and sets the correct color space for proper
connection to HDMI and DVI displays.
• RS‑232 control port — Enables the use of serial commands for integration into
a control system. Extron products use the SIS - Simple Instruction Set command
protocol, a set of basic ASCII commands that allow for quick and easy programming.
• RJ‑45 signal and link LED indicators for DTP ports — Provides a means for
validating signal flow and operation.
• Compatible with all DTP 230 and DTP 330 Series receivers and DTP‑enabled
products — Enables mixing and matching with desktop and wallplate receivers, as well
as other DTP-enabled products to meet application requirements.

The distribution amplifiers are compatible with shielded twisted pair cable (F/UTP, SF/UTP,
and S/FTP).
ATTENTION:
• Do not use Extron UTP23SF-4 Enhanced Skew-Free AV UTP cable or STP201
cable to link the device with DTP transmitters or receivers.
• N’utilisez pas le câble AV Skew-Free UTP version améliorée UTP23SF d’Extron ou
le câble STP201 pour relier le appareil avec les émetteurs ou les récepteurs DTP.
Cable recommendations
Extron recommends using the following practices to achieve full transmission distances up
to 330 feet (100 meters) and reduce transmission errors.
• Use the following Extron XTP DTP 24 STP cables and DTP 24 connectors for the best
performance:
• XTP DTP 24/1000 Non-Plenum 1000 feet (305 meters) spool
• XTP DTP 24P/1000 Plenum 1000 feet (305 meters) spool
• XTP DTP 24 Plug Package of 10
• If not using XTP DTP 24 cable, at a minimum, Extron recommends 24 AWG, solid
conductor, STP cable with a minimum bandwidth of 400 MHz.
• Terminate cables with shielded connectors to the TIA/EIA-T568B standard.
• Limit the use of more than two pass-through points, which may include patch points,
punch down connectors, couplers, and power injectors. If these pass-through points
are required, use shielded couplers and punch down connectors.
TP Cable Recommendations and Termination for DTP Communication

Extron DTP HD DA 4K Series • Installation and Operation 8
NOTES: When using TP cable in bundles or conduits, consider the following:
• Do not exceed 40% fill capacity in conduits.
• Do not comb the cable for the first 65feet (20meters), where cables are
straightened, aligned, and secured in tight bundles.
• Loosely place cables and limit the use of tie wraps or hook-and-loop fasteners.
• Separate twisted pair cables from AC power cables.
TP Cable Termination for Ethernet Communication
It is vital that your Ethernet cable be the correct cable type and that it be properly terminated
with the correct pinout. Ethernet links use Category (CAT) 3, 5e, or CAT 6, unshielded
twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables, terminated with RJ-45 connectors.
Ethernet cables are limited to a length of 330 feet (100 meters).
The cable can be terminated as either a patch cable or a crossover cable (see figure7) and
must be properly terminated for the application:
• Patch (straight‑through) cable — Connection of the device to an Ethernet hub,
router, or switch that also hosts a controlling computer.
• Crossover cable — Direct connection between the switcher and a controlling
computer.

Pins:
A cable that is wired as TIA/EIA T568A at one
end and T568B at the other (Tx and Rx pairs
reversed) is a "crossover" cable.
A cable wired the same at both ends is called
a "straight-through" cable because no pin/pair
assignments are swapped.

Remote RS-232 Control Wiring
RS-232 communication between the distribution amplifier and a host PC can be used to
update firmware or configure the unit using SIS commands (see Command and Response
Table for SIS Commands on page15).
The computer connects to either the rear panel 3-pole RS-232 port (see figure3, Kon
page4) or the front panel USB port (see figure4, Bon page5) of the distribution
amplifier.
NOTES:
• Neither port has precedence and commands from either port are handled in the
order they are received.
• Extron recommends that the USB port is used for temporary connections. If a
permanent connection is required, the RS-232 port should be used.

Remote RS-232 Control Wiring

Extron DTP HD DA 4K Series • Installation and Operation 9
1. Connect an RS-232 cable to the computer, using a female 9-pin D connector (see
figure3, Kon page4):
• Data received by the computer = pin 2
• Data transmitted by the computer = pin 3
• Ground = pin 5
2. Wire the opposite end of the cable to the provided 3-pole captive screw plug (see
figure8):
• Data transmitted by the DA plugs into the Tx (transmit) port
• Data received by the DA plugs into the Rx (receive) port
• Ground plugs into the G (ground) port
NOTES:
• The wiring in the RS-232 cables crosses over so that the Tx on the distribution
amplifier connects to the Rx of the control device and vice versa. Ground always
connects to ground.
• If the cable has a drain wire, tie the drain wire to the ground at both ends.

LockIt HDMI Lacing Bracket Installation
The Extron LockIt lacing brackets make it possible to
simply and universally secure a standard HDMI cable to
most HDMI devices.
To securely fasten an HDMI cable to a device:
1. Plug the HDMI cable into the panel connector (see
1in the image at the right).
2. Loosen the HDMI connection mounting screw from
the panel enough to allow the LockIt lacing bracket
to be placed over it (2). The screw does not have to
be removed.
3. Place the LockIt lacking bracket on the screw and
against the HDMI connector (3), then tighten the
screw to secure the bracket.

4. Loosely place the included tie wrap around the HDMI connector and the LockIt lacking
bracket as shown (4).
5. While holding the connector securely against the lacing bracket, tighten the tie wrap,
then remove any excess length.
ATTENTION:
• Do not overtighten the HDMI connection mounting screw. The shield to which
it is fasten is very thin and can be easily stripped.
• Ne serrez pas trop la vis de montage du connecteur HDMI. Le blindage auquel
elle est attachée est très fin et peut facilement être dénudé.

SIS Configurations
and Control
Use SIS commands to configure the DTP HD DA 4K series. This section provides
information about using those commands. Topics include:
• Introduction to SIS
• Using the Command and Response Table
• Command and Response Table for SIS Commands
Introduction to SIS
The distribution amplifiers can be set up and controlled remotely via Extron SIS commands
that are issued from a host computer running the Extron DataViewer utility or other control
system. The host device can be connected to the mini USB config port on the front panel,
the RJ-45 LAN connector on the rear panel, or the the 3-pole RS-232 captive screw
connector on the rear panel. The protocol for the Remote serial port is as follows:
• 9600 baud • 8 data bit • no parity
NOTE: The wiring in the RS-232 cables crosses over so that the distribution amplifier
transmit (Tx) wire connects with the control device receive (Rx) and vice versa.
Host-to-Distribution Amplifer Communications
SIS commands consist of strings (one or more characters per command field). No special
characters are required to begin or end a command sequence. Unless otherwise stated,
upper and lower case characters can be used interchangeably. Most responses from the
distribution amplifier end with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF=]), which signal
the end of the response character string. When the switcher determines that a command is
valid, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device.
Distribution Amplifier-Initiated Messages
When a local event such as a change in signal status takes place, the distribution amplifier
responds by sending a message to the host, indicating the status change. No response is
required from the host.
