Extron has expanded its XTP Systems lineup with the new XTP II 8K Fiber Series, adding four high-performance products:

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

These new boards leverage the 50 Gbps backplane of XTP II CrossPoint Series matrix switchers, delivering industry-leading performance and reliability.

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 features, including data rates up to 40.1 Gbps, HDR, Deep Color up to 12-bit, 3D, and HD lossless audio formats.

Extron integrates two key proprietary technologies into the XTP endpoints:

• EDID Minder, which automatically manages EDID communication between sources and displays.
• Key Minder, which 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 Extron’s Vector 4K scaling engine, which provides best-in-class upscaling and downscaling.

Complete AV Switching and Distribution
Extron XTP Systems deliver an integrated switching and distribution solution for multiple digital and analog formats. They support both local connectivity and extended transmission:

• Up to 330 feet (100 meters) over shielded CATx cable
• Up to 10 km (6.21 miles) over fiber optic cable

The system provides ultra-fast, highly reliable digital switching using Extron’s SpeedSwitch Technology. Users can configure, operate, and monitor the system in real time using intuitive control software, offering full visibility of all XTP devices.

With hot-swappable modular components, a wide selection of XTP transmitters and receivers, and advanced 24/7 system monitoring, Extron XTP Systems are designed to deliver continuous, trouble-free operation in mission-critical AV environments.
