•
Remote power to XTP transmitters and receivers
— To simplify installation in
space-challenged locations, an XTP CrossPoint Series matrix switcher can provide
power to remote XTP transmitters and receivers over the same STP cable that is used
for sending AV signals. This avoids the need for external power supplies at remote
endpoints.
•
HDMI compatible
— Supports HDMI specification features, including data rates up
to 15.2 Gbps, Deep Color up to 12-bit, 3D formats, Lip Sync, and HD lossless audio
formats.
•
HDCP compliant
— Ensures display of content-protected media and interoperability
with other HDCP-compliant devices.
•
HDCP authentication and signal confirmation via RS-232 or Ethernet
—
The XTP CrossPoint Series matrix switcher provides real-time verification of HDCP
status for each digital video input and output. This allows for simple, quick, and easy
signal and HDCP verification through RS-232/RS-422 or Ethernet, providing valuable
feedback to a system operator or helpdesk support staff.
•
HDCP Visual Confirmation provides a green signal when encrypted content
is sent to a non-compliant display
— A full-screen green signal is sent when
HDCP-encrypted content is transmitted to a non-HDCP compliant display, providing
immediate visual confirmation that protected content cannot be viewed on the display.
•
SpeedSwitch Technology
— Provides exceptional switching speed for
HDCP-encrypted content.
•
SD Pro processing provides deinterlacing of standard definition video
—
Deinterlaces 480i and 576i signals for compatibility with HDMI and DVI-equipped
displays, without the need for additional scalers.
•
EDID Minder
— Automatically manages EDID communication between connected
devices, ensuring that all sources power up properly and reliably output content for
display.
•
Key Minder
— Continuously verifies HDCP compliance for quick, reliable switching.
Authenticates and maintains continuous HDCP encryption between input and output
devices to ensure quick and reliable switching in professional AV environments, while
enabling simultaneous distribution of a single source signal to one or more displays.
•
Modular, field-upgradeable and hot-swappable design
— The XTP CrossPoint
Series matrix switcher provides substantial flexibility, expandability, and affordability
by allowing users to select the configuration required for a system. Additional input
and output boards may be added at any time for quick and easy upgradeability or
expansion. Hot-swappable components allow the user to replace an I/O board at any
time without the need to power down the matrix switcher. This is especially useful for
mission-critical applications that require continuous system operation.
•
Audio breakaway
— Provides the capability to separate an embedded audio signal
from its corresponding video signal within the matrix switcher, allowing the audio and
video signals from one source to be switched to different destinations.
•
Ethernet extension
— Centralized 10/100 Ethernet communication can be
implemented via an Ethernet pass-through port to reduce the amount of independent
network drops required within a system.
•
Digital output boards p5 VDC, 250 mA power on each output for
powering external peripheral devices
— Power provided via the digital output of
a board eliminates the need of a separate power supply for the connected peripheral
device.
