The Extron XTP CP 12G‑SDI Input and Output Boards provide direct 12G‑SDI connectivity within XTP Systems®. These XTP® I/O boards support 12G‑SDI, 6G‑SDI, 3G‑SDI, and HD‑SDI video signal data rates up to 11.88 Gbps and pass embedded audio. The XTP CP 4i 12G-SDI input board passes ancillary data allowed by the SMPTE and ITU specifications on the SDI loop-throughs. The buffered SDI and HDMI loop-through connections deliver added convenience, accommodating local displays. For flexible audio management and breakaway audio routing, the input board facilitates two-channel AES audio extraction. The XTP CP 4o 12G-SDI output board converts SMPTE standard, non-HDCP video signals to either a 12G, 6G, 3G, HD, or SD-SDI format and supports embedded stereo audio, as well as extracts two‑channel audio from the video for separate local audio routing.
Available in four-input and four-output models, the XTP CP 12G-SDI I/O matrix boards provide the capability to distribute common SDI video formats with data rates up to 11.88 Gbps, supporting video resolutions up to 4K/60. These boards are fully compatible with all XTP matrix switchers in the XTP line.
The XTP CP 4i 12G-SDI is an XTP input board capable of accepting signals from up to four SDI sources. To compensate for weak source signals or signal loss from a long input cable, each input features automatic input cable equalization and reclocking on the buffered HDMI and SDI loop-throughs. Input equalization restores and reshapes incoming signals, ensuring optimal signal quality throughout the system.
The XTP CP 4o 12G-SDI is an XTP output board with four SDI outputs and four balanced/unbalanced stereo audio outputs. Each SDI output converts SMPTE standard, non-HDCP video signals to either a 12G, 6G, 3G, HD or SD-SDI format and supports embedded stereo audio. The output board also features two‑channel audio extraction from the video signal for separate local audio routing. For control of audio levels, the analog audio outputs feature volume adjustment and muting capabilities. Volume control at the output eliminates the need for preamplifiers in many AV systems.
Extron 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 even greater distances over fiber optic cabling. Each system is HDCP compliant and delivers ultra‑fast, highly reliable digital switching with Extron's SpeedSwitch® Technology.
At the heart of a system is an XTP matrix switcher. The modular matrix switchers are expandable from 4x4 to 64x64, depending on frame size, and can be populated with a wide variety of XTP I/O matrix boards. Input and output boards provide direct HDMI, DVI, 3G‑SDI, video, and audio connections to local sources and displays, and signal extension to remote endpoints when using XTP transmitters and receivers. The matrix switcher can also provide power to a remote XTP device over CATx cabling, depending on transmitter model.
The online XTP System Builder gives convenient access for complete system design. The tool also features a printable bill of materials, pricing, and quote submittal. Once the order is confirmed and received, the included XTP System Configuration Software enables easy setup and configuration right out of the box.
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 applications.
