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 configurations
simultaneously.
The fixed 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 Configuration Software, DSP
Configurator software, or the Simple Instruction Set (SIS).

DTP CrossPoint 84 • Introduction 3
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.

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. Le blindage auquel elle est
attachée est très fin et peut facilement être
dénudé
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 figure 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.

DTP CrossPoint 84 • Installation 9
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.

NOTES:
• Do not use standard telephone cables. Telephone cables do not support Ethernet or Fast
Ethernet.
• Do not stretch or bend cables. Transmission errors can occur.
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 configure 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.

DTP CrossPoint 84 • Installation 10
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9).
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.
• Afin 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% fill capacity in conduits.
• Do not comb the cable for the first 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.

ATTENTION:
• For unbalanced audio output, connect the sleeves to the ground
contact. DO NOT connect the sleeves to the negative (-) contacts.
• Pour l’audio asymétrique, connectez les manchons au contact au sol. Ne PAS
connecter les manchons aux contacts négatifs (–).
NOTES:
• The length of exposed wires is important. The ideal length is 3/16 inch (5 mm).
• If the stripped section of wire is longer than 3/16 inch, the exposed wires may
touch, causing a short circuit.
• If the stripped section of wire is shorter than 3/16 inch, wires can be easily pulled
out even if tightly fastened.
• Do not tin the power supply leads. Tinned wires are not as secure in the
connector and could be pulled out.
