Extron is shipping the XTP II CP 4o HD AT 8K output board, the newest product to join the XTP Systems family. The company says this XTP output board provides four HDMI outputs and four Dante digital audio outputs. It is HDCP 2.3 compliant and supports HDMI 2.1 performance at video resolutions up to 8K@30 HDR video with 4:4:4 color sampling at data rates up to 40.1Gbps. Dante output adds the capability to take any four stereo audio signals that are routed through the XTP system and transport them as Dante audio over a network using standard Internet protocols. Extron says this XTP output board supports convenient integration as part of a complete networked audio system solution. The XTP II CrossPoint Series modular matrix switchers feature a 50 Gbps backplane to deliver a future-proof AV infrastructure that “supports convenient growth and upgrade without needing to replace equipment.”

According to Extron, XTP Systems provide a completely integrated switching and distribution solution for multiple video formats. The systems support local connectivity and extended transmission capability for sending video, audio, RS‑232/IR and Ethernet up to 330 feet (100 meters) over shielded CATx cable, and up to 10 km (6.21 miles) over fiber optic cable. The company says each system is HDCP compliant and delivers fast, reliable digital switching with Extron’s SpeedSwitch Technology. With hot-swappable modular components, a wide selection of XTP transmitters and receivers and advanced 24/7 system monitoring, XTP Systems are designed to provide continuous, trouble-free operation in the most critical installations.
