Extron has introduced the DTP3 T 211, a long-distance USB-C transmitter designed to extend video and bidirectional RS-232 signals up to 330 feet over shielded CAT 6A cable while supporting up to 100 watts of power delivery.

The transmitter is designed for applications requiring USB-C connectivity over longer distances and supports uncompressed video resolutions up to 4K/60 at 4:4:4 color sampling. When used with the Extron UPI 100 power injector, the device can provide up to 100 watts of charging power to a connected USB-C source. An HDMI loop-through output is included for local monitoring.

According to Extron, the DTP3 T 211 is intended for discreet installation in spaces such as lecterns, under tables or other locations where compact form factors and remote powering are required. The unit supports EDID Minder and HDCP 2.3 and transports all supported video resolutions without compression to maintain image quality and minimize latency.

“The DTP3 T 211 expands design options for USB-C connectivity and extension within DTP Systems,” said Casey Hall, chief marketing officer for Extron. “Its HDMI loop-out and ability to support USB-C device charging delivers increased functionality and convenience.”

The transmitter supports USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode video, including HDR, Deep Color up to 12-bit, 3D and embedded HD lossless audio formats. Its DTP3 output can also be configured to send video, embedded audio and bidirectional RS-232 signals to an HDBaseT-enabled display. The product is backward compatible with first-generation DTP-enabled devices.

Extron said the DTP3 T 211 is designed for use across a range of professional AV environments where reliable, long-distance USB-C signal extension is required.
