Anaheim, California (March 11, 2025) - Extron is expanding its XTP Systems^® line once again. The new XTP II 8K Fiber Series takes performance to the next level with industry-leading capabilities for XTP Systems. Four new products are now available:

XTP II FT 402 8K – Fiber optic transmitters for HDMI and DisplayPort
XTP II FR 401 8K – Fiber optic receivers with local HDMI input
XTP II CP 4i F 8K – Input boards with assignable XTP Fiber or HDMI inputs
XTP II CP 4o SF 8K – Output boards with scaled fiber and local, unscaled HDMI outputs

These new boards leverage the 50 Gbps backplane of XTP II CrossPoint^® Series matrix switchers to deliver the highest level of performance and reliability in the industry. With Extron XTP Systems, you are always future-ready.

“XTP Systems is known for industry firsts and these exciting additions continue this tradition,” says Casey Hall, Chief Marketing Officer for Extron. “Our new XTP II 8K Fiber Series delivers next-level performance with uncompromised switching and extension.”

The Extron XTP II 8K Fiber Series extends video, audio, bidirectional control, and 1 Gbps Ethernet over fiber optic cable. Each product is HDCP 2.3 compliant and supports HDMI 2.1 specification features that include data rates up to 40.1 Gbps, HDR, Deep Color up to 12-bit, 3D, and HD lossless audio formats. The XTP endpoints utilize two Extron technologies: EDID Minder and Key Minder. EDID Minder automatically manages EDID communication between sources and display devices. For signals with protected content, Key Minder authenticates and maintains continuous HDCP encryption between input and output devices. For optimal image quality, the XTP II CP 4o SF 8K output board incorporates the Extron Vector 4K scaling engine that is specifically designed with best-in-class image upscaling and downscaling. Loaded with these features, capabilities, and more, the XTP II 8K Fiber Series further complement the capabilities of XTP Systems.

Extron XTP Systems provide a completely integrated switching and distribution solution for multiple digital and analog formats. They support local connectivity as well as extended transmission capability for sending high resolution video, audio, RS-232, and Ethernet up to 330 feet (100 meters) over a shielded CATx cable and up to 10 km (6.21 miles) over fiber optic cable. Each system delivers ultra-fast, highly reliable digital switching with Extron's SpeedSwitch Technology. To configure, operate, and monitor the system in real time, user-friendly control software offers a complete view of all XTP devices from a computer. 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 environments.
