Extron just introduced the DTP3 T 203, a three-input twisted pair transmitter for sending USB-C video, HDMI and control up to 330 feet (100 meters) over a shielded Cat6A cable. This DTP3 transmitter supports 4K@60Hz (4:4:4)
signals and is HDCP 2.3 compliant. To maximize image quality and eliminate latency, Extron says all supported video resolutions are transported without compression. Capabilities such as 60 W of USB-C charging, dual buffered HDMI and DTP outputs, contact closure with tally output and Ethernet remote control facilitate integration in professional environments. Integrator-friendly features include EDID management, auto-switching between inputs and bidirectional RS-232 pass-through for control of remote AV devices. As with other DTP3 transmitters, the DTP3 T 203 is backward compatible with the DTP ecosystem and ideal for presentation venues, conference rooms and wherever needed to meet application requirements.

The DTP3 T 203 provides “reliable switching and transmission of USB-C and HDMI video at data rates up to 18 Gbps.” In addition to enabling uncompressed extension of video, it supports HDR, Deep Color up to 12-bit, 3D, embedded HD lossless audio formats and CEC. The transmitter is compatible with Show Me cables, which provide connectivity and user input selection and control for TeamWork Collaboration Systems. Two of the transmitter’s features include simultaneous transmission of bidirectional RS-232 signals from a control system for AV device control and Extron’s EDID Minder technology, which “ensures connected sources power up properly and reliably output content for display.” Also, the DTP3 output can be configured to send video and embedded audio, plus control, to an HDBaseT-enabled display. Extron claims these features and capabilities make the DTP3 T 203 the ideal transmitter for professional environments.
