About the DTP CrossPoint Matrix Switchers
The DTP CrossPoint matrix 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 congurations simultaneously.
The xed matrix size switchers support a total of eight inputs: six HDMI
and two inputs from Extron DTP transmitting devices. The matrix switchers
provide four outputs: two HDMI and two scaled DTP outputs.
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 70 — Includes a 70 V mono audio
amplifier and a built-in Extron IPCP Pro 350 control processor

Figure 1. Typical DTP CrossPoint Application
The switchers provide four mono microphone (mic)/line level inputs that
can be mixed with or across one or all audio outputs.
The IPCP models also feature the built-in Extron IPCP Pro 350 control
processor, which has local area network (LAN) Ethernet ports, 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
non-IPCP model has one Ethernet port.
The matrix switcher can be remotely controlled via an Ethernet LAN port,
a serial port, or a USB port connection using either the Extron Product
Conguration Software, DSP Congurator software, or the Simple
Instruction Set (SIS).

3DTP CrossPoint 84 • Introduction
DTP Input and Output Signals
The DTP inputs and outputs are proprietary signals that are created within
any of the Extron DTP Extenders 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 technology of the transmitting or receiving device,
DTP 330 or DTP 230, the TP inputs and outputs can travel up to 330 feet
(100 meters) or 230 feet (70 meters) without a loss of signal integrity.

the panel connection.
2. Loosen the HDMI
connection mounting screw
from the panel enough
to allow the LockIt lacing
bracket to be placed over
it. The screw does not have
to be removed.
3. Place the LockIt lacing
bracket on the screw
and against the HDMI
connector, then tighten
the screw to secure the
bracket.
ATTENTION:
• Do not overtighten the HDMI connector mounting screw.
The shield it fastens to is very thin and can easily be
stripped.
• Ne serrez pas trop la vis de montage du connecteur HDMI.

4. Loosely place the included tie wrap around the HDMI connector and
the LockIt lacing bracket as shown.
5. While holding the connector securely against the lacing bracket, use
pliers or similar tool to tighten the tie wrap, then remove any excess
length.

TP connectors
All RJ-45 ports, whether DTP ports, the Expansion port, and the LAN
(Ethernet) ports on the switcher or IPCP control processor use twisted pair
cables (see gure 7).
• Patch (straight) cable —
• DTP input and output ports — Shielded twisted pair (STP) for
connection to Extron DTP transmitters and receivers, XTP matrix
switchers, or HDBaseT-enabled devices.
• Expansion port — STP for connection between the matrix
switcher and a DMP 128. A shielded 1-foot cable is included with
the DMP 128.
• LAN ports — Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or STP for
connection of the LAN port to an Ethernet LAN.
• Crossover cable (see figure 7) —
• LAN ports — UTP or STP for direct connection between the
DTP CrossPoint 84 matrix switcher and a connected computer.
A cable that is wired as T568A at one end
and T568B at the other (Tx and Rx pairs
reversed) is a "crossover" cable.
A cable that is wired the same at both ends is
called a "straight-through" cable, because
no pin/pair assignments are swapped.

LAN ports
The LAN ports require Category (CAT) 3, CAT 5e, or CAT 6a unshielded
twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables, crossover or patch
cables.
The cable used depends on your network speed. The switcher LAN port
supports both 10 Mbps (10Base-T — Ethernet) and 100 Mbps (100Base-T
— Fast Ethernet), half-duplex and full-duplex Ethernet connections. Input
and output boards support 100Base-T only.
• 10Base-T Ethernet requires CAT 3 UTP or STP cable at minimum.
• 100Base-T Fast Ethernet requires CAT 5e UTP or STP cable at
minimum.
For ports on an IPCP module, see the IPCP Pro Series User Guide at
www.extron.com to make all network connections and to congure and
operate the IPCP control processor.
DTP and Expansion ports
The DTP input and output ports are compatible with Extron
XTP DTP 24 SF/UTP cables, as well as CAT 5e, 6, 6a, and 7 shielded
twisted pair (F/UTP, SF/UTP, and S/FTP) cable. The Expansion port requires
CAT 5e, 6, 6a, or 7 shielded twisted pair cable.
For the Expansion port only —
ATTENTION:
• Connect this port to the Expansion port on a compatible
Extron DMP processor. Do NOT connect this port to a LAN or
Power over Ethernet port; equipment damage can occur.
• Connectez ce port au port d’expansion sur un processeur
DMP d’Extron compatible. Ne connectez PAS ce port à un port
LAN ou d’alimentation via Ethernet ; le matériel pourrait être
endommagé.

12 DTP CrossPoint 84 • Installation
For the DTP ports only —
Extron recommends the following practices to achieve full transmission
distances up to 330 feet (100 m) and reduce transmission errors.
Use the following Extron XTP DTP 24 SF/UTP cables and connectors for
the best performance:
XTP DTP 24/1000 Non-Plenum 1000' (305 m) spool 22-236-03
XTP DTP 24P/1000 Plenum 1000' (305 m) spool 22-235-03
XTP DTP 24 Plug Package of 10 101-005-02
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
only (patch cables, see figure7 on page10).
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 CAT 6 or 6a shielded couplers
and punch down connectors.
ATTENTION:
• Do not connect these boards to a computer data or
telecommunications network.
• Ne connectez pas ces port à des données informatiques ou à
un réseau de télécommunications.
• Do not use Extron UTP23SF-4 Enhanced Skew-Free AV UTP
cable or STP201 cable to link the matrix switcher to Extron
DTP products, XTP matrix switchers, or HDBaseT-enabled
devices.
• N'utilisez pas le câble AV Skew-Free UTP version améliorée
UTP23SF-4 ou le câble STP201 pour relier la grille de
commutation aux produits DTP, aux grilles de commutation
XTP ou aux appareils équipés HDBaseT Extron.
• To ensure FCC Class A and CE compliance, STP cables and
STP connectors are required.
• An de s’assurer de la compatibilité entre FCC ClasseA et CE,
les câbles STP et les connecteurs STP sont nécessaires.
NOTE:When using cable in bundles or conduits, consider the
following:
• Do not exceed 40% ll capacity in conduits.
• Do not comb the cable for the rst 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.
