XTP II CrossPoint Series • Introduction
3
Twisted pair and 4K twisted pair boards
The input and output boards enable long distance transmission of AV signals between the
XTP II CrossPoint matrix switcher and remote twisted pair XTP transmitters and receivers.
The twisted pair cable carries the following signals up to 330 feet (100 meters) over a
shielded twisted pair cable:
•
Digital video
•
Digital audio
•
Bidirectional RS-232 and IR commands
•
Remote power
•
Ethernet communication
•
System communication
Each XTP connector is accompanied with an Ethernet extension port and bidirectional
RS-232 and IR insertion ports for simultaneous control of remote devices. The main
difference between the twisted pair and 4K twisted pair boards is as follows:
•
Twisted pair boards are HDCP-compliant and support computer and video resolutions
up to 1920x1200, including 1080p @ 60 Hz with Deep Color and 2K.
•
4K twisted pair boards are HDCP 2.2 compliant and support video resolutions up to 4K.
See the board specifications at
for further differences between the two
types boards.
Fiber boards
The input and output boards enable long-haul transmission of AV signals between the
XTP II CrossPoint matrix switcher and remote fiber XTP transmitters and receivers. The fiber
optic cable carries the following signals:
•
Digital video
•
Digital audio
•
Bidirectional RS-232 and IR commands
•
Ethernet communication
•
System communication
Each XTP connector is accompanied with an Ethernet extension port and bidirectional
RS-232 and IR insertion ports for simultaneous control of remote devices. The boards are
HDCP-compliant and support video resolutions up to 4K.
Transmission distance depends on the model and fiber optic cable. The fiber optic cable is
categorized in two types of cable: multimode (MM) and singlemode (SM).
•
Multimode
— Transmits data up to 500 meters (1,640 feet) depending on the fiber
optic cable.
•
Singlemode
— Transmits data up to 10 km (6.2 miles).
NOTES:
•
The multimode and singlemode boards are physically and functionally identical, with
the exception of the effective range of transmission. In this guide, any reference
applies to either transmission mode unless otherwise specified.
•
Different modes are not compatible with each other.
•
A color-coded sticker identifies the type of SFP module: orange for multimode and
yellow for singlemode.
