About this Guide
This guide contains installation, configuration, and operating information for the Extron
DTP CrossPoint Scaling Presentation Matrix Switchers with DTP Extension (see figure1 on
page2).
About the DTP CrossPoint 84 Matrix Switchers
The switchers distribute HDCP-compliant HDMI and Extron proprietary DTP video and audio
signal types. A matrix switcher routes any input signal to any combination of outputs. It can
route multiple input and output configurations simultaneously.
The DTP CrossPoint fixed matrix size switchers support a total of eight inputs: up to six
HDMI and one or two inputs from Extron DTP transmitting devices. The matrix switchers
provide up to four outputs: one or two HDMI and one or two scaled DTP outputs
(see DTP Input and Output Signals on page 3).
The DTP CrossPoint Matrix Series consists of three 8-input by 4-output models,
differentiated by their audio and control capabilities:
• DTP CrossPoint 84
• DTP CrossPoint 84 IPCP SA — Includes a stereo audio amplifier and a built-in Extron
IPCP Pro 350 control processor
• DTP CrossPoint 84 IPCP MA — Includes a mono audio amplifier and a built-in Extron
IPCP Pro 350 control processor
The switcher has RS-232 and infrared (IR) insertion ports on all DTP inputs and outputs that
allow you to route bidirectional control signals to the connected devices.
The switchers provide four mono microphone (mic)/line level inputs that can be mixed with
one or all audio outputs. Adjustable mic input audio gain and attenuation compensates for
level differences among audio inputs. The DTP CrossPoint 84 also includes a built-in digital
signal processor (DSP) that provides a wide variety of microphone pre-amplifier controls,
mixers, filters, dynamics processors, and feedback supressors.
The mic/line inputs have a talkover feature that automatically reduces the program audio
group when mic/line input is present. When the mic/line input is not present, the program
audio group is restored to the set volume level. The mic talkover threshold is adjustable from
0dB to -60 dB.
Each input and output is individually isolated and buffered; switching is accomplished with
virtually no crosstalk or signal noise between channels. Audio that is switched through the
DSP can either be linked with the video (audio follow) or independent of the video (audio
breakaway). Embedded digital audio always follow the video.

Figure 1. Typical DTP CrossPoint 84 IPCP Application
The switcher has a rear panel serial port and a front panel USB port for remote control and
reporting. The IPCP models also feature the built-in Extron IPCP Pro 350 control processor,
which has three rear panel local area network (LAN) Ethernet ports. The non-IPCP
model has one Ethernet port. The matrix switcher is programmed with the Extron Simple
Instruction Set (SIS), a set of basic ASCII code commands that provide simple control
through a control system or PC without programming long, obscure strings of code. SIS
commands can be entered via the RS-232 port, USB port, or the LAN ports.
The LAN ports can be connected through a local area network (LAN) or wide area network
(WAN).

keypad
Setup of the IPCP control processor, built into IPCP models, requires the Extron Global
Configurator, which is available for download from the Extron Web site. The processor offers
RS-232 and IR-based control, relays, and digital I/O controls that can control and monitor a
variety of external devices, such as projectors and lights.
The switcher is housed in a rack-mountable, 2U high metal enclosure with mounting flanges
for a standard 19-inch rack. The appropriate rack mounting kit is included with the switcher.
The switcher has an internal 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 180 watts power supply that
provides worldwide power compatibility.
DTP Input and Output Signals
The DTP inputs and outputs are proprietary signals that are created within any of the Extron
DTP Extender systems and transmitted over a single shielded twisted pair (STP) cable.
The DTP CrossPoint accepts DTP inputs from transmitting devices such as the
DTP T USW 333. Depending on the connected transmitting model, it generates the DTP
signal from a variety of video and audio inputs, including HDMI, DVI, analog VGA, and
embedded and analog audio. The DTP signal can also include bidirectional RS-232 and IR
control signals from the connected transmitting and receiving devices or inserted locally, on
the DTP CrossPoint switcher.
Depending on the transmitting or receiving device, the DTP inputs and outputs can travel up
to 330 feet (100 meters) or 230 feet (70 meters) without a loss of signal integrity.

DTP CrossPoint 84 Series Matrix Switchers • Introduction 4
Definitions
The following terms, which apply to all Extron matrix switchers, are used throughout this
manual:
• Tie — An input-to-output video and/or line audio connection.
• Set of ties — An input tied to two or more outputs. (An output can never be tied to
more than one input.)
• Configuration — One or more ties, one or more sets of ties. The “configuration” also
can include some or all of the signal processor settings that can be made in the DSP
Configurator program.
• Current configuration — The configuration that is currently active in the switcher (also
called configuration 0).
• Preset — A full or partial configuration (a subset of ties, sets of ties, or signal processor
settings) with accompanying audio settings that has been stored.
NOTES:
• Presets can be created only by using the DSP Configurator program.
• When a preset is retrieved from memory, it becomes the current configuration.
• Up to 32 partial or presets can be stored in memory. Preset locations are
assigned to the input buttons and output buttons. Up to 12 preset locations
can be recalled from the front panel. Preset numbers larger than 12 are
accessible under remote control.
• Presets can also be recalled using SIS commands, using the Product
Configuration Software, or using the DSP Configurator program.
• When a preset consisting of full configurations is recalled, it completely
overwrites the current configuration.
• When a preset consisting of one or more partial configurations is recalled, it
overwrite only a portion of the current configuration, leaving other ties and
settings unchanged.

mic volume.
Audio input gain and attenuation — Gain or attenuation can be adjusted for each
two-channel audio input to achieve optimal signal-to-noise ratio.
Audio breakaway — Provides the capability to break two-channel audio away from its
corresponding video signal and route to the audio outputs, allowing the audio and video
signals from one source to be switched to different destinations.
S/PDIF audio output — The DTP CrossPoint 84 includes an S/PDIF output for two-
channel LPCM audio or encoded standard definition bitstream audio for Dolby or DTS
multi-channel surround sound.
Integrated digital audio matrix processor with ProDSP 32/64-bit signal processing —
The DTP CrossPoint 84 features 32/64-bit floating point audio DSP processing, which
maintains very wide dynamic range and audio signal transparency, to simplify management
of gain staging while reducing the possibility of DSP signal clipping.
Digital audio expansion port — An expansion port provides interfacing to an Extron
DMP 128 processor for AEC and audio system scalability. The expansion port allows the
DTP CrossPoint 84 and any DMP 128 ProDSP Digital Matrix Processor model to be linked
together via a single shielded Category (CAT) 6 cable for 16x8 channel transport between
devices. Expansion supports audio system scalability with expanded audio processing
and signal routing capabilities. A 1 foot (0.3 meter) shielded CAT 6 cable is included with
DMP 128 models.
Four mic/line inputs with 48 volt phantom power — Four mic or line level audio sources
can be independently mixed with program audio. Selectable 48 volt phantom power allows
the use of condenser microphones.
Mic ducking — Automatically reduces program audio when a microphone or other
incoming audio signal is detected, replacing the need for a separate audio ducking
processor.
Studio grade 24-bit/48 kHz analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters —
Professional converters fully preserve the integrity of the original audio signal.
Fixed, low latency DSP processing — Input to output latency is a constant 4.5 ms within
the DTP CrossPoint 84, regardless of the number of active channels or processes. Fixed,
low latency processing keeps audio in sync with video, and prevents distractions to the
presenter resulting from delayed live audio.

DTP CrossPoint 84 Series Matrix Switchers • Introduction 7
DSP Configurator Software — A powerful yet user-friendly PC-based software tool for
managing all audio operations of the DTP CrossPoint 84. It enables complete setup and
configuration of digital audio processing tools on the DSP platform, as well as routing and
mixing.
Group masters — The DTP CrossPoint 84 provides the capability to consolidate gain or
mute control throughout the system. Gain or mute controls can be selected and added to a
group master, which can then be controlled by a single master fader or mute control. Up to
32 group masters can be created.
Soft limits provide optimal group master adjustment range — The group master
volume range can be limited using soft limits to maintain optimal minimum and maximum
levels when using external volume control. This prevents operators from over or under-
adjusting levels when using Ethernet, USB, or RS-232 control. The DSP Configurator
Software provides quick drag-and-drop adjustment of soft limits from the Group Controls
screen.
32 DSP Configurator presets — Using the DSP Configurator Software, any or all
parameters for DSP processing, levels, AV matrix switching ties, and audio matrix mixing
can be saved as presets.
Flexible matrix design provides output, virtual, and expansion routing options —
The DSP architecture of the DTP CrossPoint 84 employs an intuitive matrix design that
offers substantial flexibility in routing, mixing, and processing audio input sources. An output
matrix allows any of the four microphone inputs to be matrix mixed to any or all of the four
stereo outputs of the AV switcher block. If desired, any of the microphone inputs or AV
switcher outputs can first be directed into a virtual matrix, which routes the inputs to eight
virtual buses, before being mixed back into the output matrix. Virtual buses allow inputs to
be processed together as a group. The expansion matrix provides signal routing between
the DTP CrossPoint 84 and a DMP 128 processor linked via the expansion port.
Building Blocks processor settings — A collection of pre-designed processor settings
optimized for a specific type of input or output device, such as microphones and Extron
speakers, with preset levels, filters, dynamics, and more. Flexible Building Blocks are
available on each I/O strip and allow system designers to fully customize and save their own
Building Blocks, further streamlining audio system design and integration.
(SA and MA models) Energy efficient Class D stereo or mono amplifier:
• 2 x 50 watts @ 4 ohms; 2 x 25 watts @ 8 ohms
• 1 x 100 watts @ 70 volts — The DTP CrossPoint 84 SA offers a stereo power amplifier
with 50 watts per channel into 4 ohms and 25 watts per channel into 8 ohms, while the
DTP CrossPoint 84 MA 70 offers a mono 70 volt power amplifier with 100 watts rms
output. Both feature an Extron exclusive, highly efficient, advanced Class D amplifier
design with CDRS - Class D Ripple Suppression, an Extron patented technology that
provides a smooth, clean audio waveform and an improvement in signal fidelity over
conventional Class D amplifier designs. CDRS eliminates the high frequency switching
ripple characteristic of Class D amplifiers, a source of RF emissions which can interfere
with sensitive AV equipment such as wireless microphones.

Buttons can be custom labeled for easy identification. The buttons illuminate red, green, or
amber depending on function, for ease of use in low-light environments.
View I/O mode — Users can easily view which inputs and outputs are actively connected.
Presets — Frequently used I/O configurations may be recalled either from the QuickSwitch
Front Panel Controller, Ethernet, USB, or RS-232 serial control.
Output muting control — Provides the capability to mute one or all outputs at any time.
This allows, for example, content to be viewed on a local monitor prior to appearing on the
main presentation display.
Aspect ratio control — For the scaled DTP outputs, the aspect ratio of the video can be
controlled by selecting a FILL mode, which provides a full screen output, or a FOLLOW
mode, which preserves the original aspect ratio of the input signal.
Auto Input Memory — When activated for the scaled DTP outputs, the unit automatically
stores size, position, and picture settings based on the incoming signal. When the same
signal is detected again, these image settings are automatically recalled from memory.
Output Standby Mode — The unit can be set to automatically mute video and sync output
to the display device when no active input signal is detected. This allows the projector or
flat-panel display to automatically enter into standby mode to save energy and enhance
lamp or panel life.
