Extron Ships DTP CrossPoint 86 4K Scaling Matrix Switcher
Now things in the digital media space will get interesting as Extron has started shipping its DTP CrossPoint 86 4K, an 8×6 presentation matrix switcher — and it joins the company’s 10×8, 8×6, 8×4, and 8×2 I/O sizes. This includes a matrix switcher with 4K inputs and outputs, built-in 4K scalers powered by Extron Vector 4K scaling technology, seamless switching and logo insertion, integrated DTP and XTP signal extension, audio DSP and AEC capabilities including mono or stereo amplifier and a control processor.
The DTP CrossPoint 86 4K includes four built-in scalers, powered by Extron Vector 4K scaling technology, that are paired to the DTP outputs and enable independent scaling up to 4K. The exclusive Vector 4K scaling engine is specifically designed image upscaling and downscaling, and a new set of image processing algorithms that Extron says delivers performance with 30-bit processing. The DTP twisted pair inputs and outputs provide flexibility in distributing AV and control l and they can be used to connect to any display with an HDBaseT input, or tie into a centralized, facility-wide XTP System to add local room-based AV systems. Customize any presentation using the professional source transition effects, or insert a custom logo into the foreground of the scaled output video.
The integrated professional-grade audio DSP technology features all of the audio processing tools and capabilities their outboard DSP products and is identical to the one in the Extron DMP 128. DTP CrossPoint 86 4K models also include four independent channels of high performance AEC for conferencing applications, as well as a unique digital audio expansion port that links the internal DSP to a DMP 128 for expanded I/O capacity. Additionally, the built-in mono or stereo 100 watt amplifier features the same Extron core technologies found in the renowned ENERGY STAR qualified XTRA Series, delivering high energy efficiency and professional grade audio performance.
DTP CrossPoint 86 4K IPCP models feature an integrated Extron IP Link Pro control processor- the same found in the standalone Extron IPCP Pro 350 control processor. This allows for complete, customizable control of an entire AV system. DTP CrossPoint 86 4K IPCP models with LinkLicense allow a tablet or laptop to serve as the primary control interface for the AV system.
