XTP II CrossPoint Series • Introduction

Product Description
The configurable and modular XTP II CrossPoint Series matrix switchers route video, audio,
bidirectional RS-232 and IR, and Ethernet signals in an integrated XTP system. The types of
signals routed depend on the input and output boards installed in the matrix switchers. The
number of supported input and output boards include the following:
•
XTP II CrossPoint 1600
— Supports up to four input boards and four output boards in
a 5U high enclosure.
•
XTP II CrossPoint 3200
— Supports up to eight input boards and eight output boards
in a 10U high enclosure.
•
XTP II CrossPoint 6400
— Supports up to 16 input boards and 16 output boards in a
20U high enclsoure.
Input and output boards provide signal routing between sources and output devices. The
matrix switchers can also provide power to remote XTP devices over shielded twisted pair
cabling.
Input and Output Board Types
The input and output boards provide either local distribution of audio and video connections
to local sources and displays or signal extension to remote endpoints when using
XTP transmitters and receivers. Each board is hot-swappable for replacement without
interrupting signal routing. The following table describes available input and output boards
(see the Extron
for a current list of available XTP CrossPoint boards).
Input and Output Boards
Board Types
Description
Twisted pair boards
Input and output boards for XTP communication with Ethernet
extension and RS-232 and IR insertion over twisted pair cable.
4K twisted pair
boards
Input and output boards for 4K XTP communication with Ethernet
extension and RS-232 and IR insertion over twisted pair cable.
Fiber boards
Input and output boards for XTP communication with Ethernet
extension and RS-232 and IR insertion over fiber optic cable.
HDMI boards
Input and output boards for HDMI signals with analog stereo audio.
DMA board
Input boards with multi-channel audio downmixing to 2-channel
PCM stereo audio.
DVI Pro boards
Input and output boards for HDCP-compliant DVI signals with
analog stereo audio.
SDI board
Input board for 3G-SDI signals with analog stereo audio.

Each input and output is individually isolated and buffered. Any input can be switched to any
one or all outputs with virtually no crosstalk or signal noise between channels. Depending
on the board configuration, the matrix switcher can include 4 inputs and 4 outputs to one of
the following maximum sizes:
•
XTP II CrossPoint 1600
— Supports up to 16 inputs and 16 outputs.
•
XTP II CrossPoint 3200
— Supports up to 32 inputs and 32 outputs.
•
XTP II CrossPoint 6400
— Supports up to 64 inputs and 64 outputs.
