About this Guide
This guide describes the Extron DisplayPort Twisted Pair Extenders. This guide covers two
Extender models:
• DTP T/R DP 330 — Consists of a DTP T DP 330 transmitter and a DTP R DP 330
receiver.
• DTP T/R DP 230 — Consists of a DTP T DP 230 transmitter and a DTP R DP 230
receiver.
This guide describes how to install, operate, and configure the transmitters and receivers.
About the DTP DP 330 and DTP DP 230 Extenders
The Extron DTP T/R DP transmitter and receiver pair (see figure 1 , on the next page) are
twisted pair Extender sets for transmission of:
•
HDCP-compliant DisplayPort video (which can include embedded digital audio)
• Optional analog audio
• RS-232 and IR control signals
NOTE:
The RS-232 and IR communications are a passive pass-through only.
The transmitter and receiver do not generate or respond to the RS-232 and IR
communication signals.
Transmission is over one Extron XTP DTP 24 shielded twisted pair (STP) cable
(recommended) or Category (CAT) 5e or CAT 6 STP cable. The two models are similar
except for the transmission range:
• DTP T/R DP 330 — Up to 330 feet (100 m)
•
DTP T/R DP 230 — Up to 230 feet (70 m)
TP Cable Advantages
Twisted pair cable is much smaller, lighter, more flexible, and less expensive than coaxial
or HDMI cable. These transmitter and receiver twisted pair (TP) products make cable runs
simpler and less cumbersome. Termination of the cable with RJ-45 connectors is simple,
quick, and economical.
NOTE: Do
not
use Extron UTP23SF-4 Enhanced Skew-Free AV UTP cable or STP201
cable to link the transmitter and receiver. The DTP DP transmitter and receiver do not
work properly with these cables.
