The Ultimate Matrix Switcher - A Size for Every Application
DTP CrossPoint 4K Series
The industry-leading Extron DTP CrossPoint® 4K Series matrix switchers are your go-to products for 4K presentation systems. These highly versatile presentation matrix switchers deliver all of the technologically sophisticated capabilities you need to design and realize advanced AV systems in one box. The DTP CrossPoint 4K Series sets the new industry standard for fully integrated AV systems, greatly simplifying system design and installation, and dramatically reducing your client's total cost of ownership.
All DTP CrossPoint 4K products support 4K signals at all video inputs and outputs. Matrix switching between the inputs and outputs enables a wide range of design possibilities to meet the audio and video requirements of boardrooms, lecture halls, or other applications with multiple sources and displays.
Vector 4K Scaling
The Vector 4K scaling engine incorporates Extron-engineered, multi-tap, bicubic interpolation, which creates a new pixel by averaging adjacent pixels above, below, to the sides, and diagonally of the new pixel. This produces sharp, accurate output, preserving single-pixel detail that other scaling methods lack.
Vector 4K algorithms continually and dynamically adapt, ensuring optimal processing for upscaling, downscaling, or 1:1 pass-through applications. Two less robust alternatives to bicubic interpolation are “nearest neighbor interpolation,” whereby a pixel is duplicated to an adjacent pixel, and “bilinear interpolation,” which creates a new pixel by averaging adjacent pixels above, below, and to the sides of the pixel being created. Both of these methods can produce substandard output, resulting in data loss that may render the content unusable.
The Extron-exclusive Vector 4K scaling engine applies precision 30-bit processing and maintains 4:4:4 chroma sampling to ensure pristine image quality at the output. This level of processing retains fine image and color detail such as single pixel lines and text in computer content.
Competing scalers commonly process in the YCbCr, or component domain, employing 4:2:2 or 4:2:0 chroma subsampling. This decreases the bandwidth required to process the signal, at the expense of reduced color detail. Chroma subsampling may be acceptable when processing full-motion video content, but with PC-generated content, subsampled color can negatively impact the clarity of the image. Vector 4K 4:4:4 color processing retains the fine color details present in the original source.
For fast, glitch-free video switching performance in demanding applications, four seamless transition effects are available.
Cut through Black — instantly cuts the current input to black, then cuts to the new input
Fade through Black — fades the current input to black, then fades to the new input
Seamless Cut — freezes the current video frame, then instantly cuts to the new input
Seamless Fade — freezes the current input video frame, then fades to the newly selected input

Image storage and keying
JPEG, PNG, and BMP image files can be uploaded for use as logos or supplementary content and displayed on the scaled DTP output. Logos can be positioned anywhere on screen. Image transparency is supported, including Alpha channel, level keying, and color keying. Full screen images up to 4096 x 2160 resolution can also be recalled to provide information to the presentation audience.

Ethernet Control and Monitoring
Ethernet control enables centralized monitoring, control, and troubleshooting for every meeting and presentation facility in the organization. Additionally, RS-232 insertion from the Ethernet port can be utilized to enable control processor access to remote devices over the same CATx cable used for video transmission.

DTP CrossPoint 4K IPCP SA and DTP CrossPoint 4K IPCP MA 70 models are equipped with audio power amplifiers featuring Extron's exclusive Class D amplifier design with patented CDRS™- Class D Ripple Suppression technology to provide a smooth, clean audio waveform and an improvement in signal fidelity over conventional Class D amplifier designs
Conventional Design
Conventional Class D amplifiers are characterized by high frequency switching ripple on the audio output. The result is a distorted signal and EMI emissions on output cabling.
Extron CDRS Design
CDRS removes the switching ripple from the audio output waveform, so that the signal is pure and on par with linear amplifier performance. The result is a Class D amplifier design with dramatically improved audio performance.
Everlast Power Supplies
We design and manufacture our Everlast Power Supplies in-house, employing premium-quality components and highly efficient, modern topologies for thermal management, transistor switching, energy dissipation, and virtually every other critical aspect of the power system. Each Everlast Power Supply is built with the same care and meticulous attention to detail as our award-winning high-end video products.
AV hardware manufacturers typically use generic off-the-shelf power supplies from 3rd party vendors. These mass-produced power supplies are frequently designed to meet a low price point, employing the least expensive components meeting the minimum manufacturing spec. Using a plastic fan assembly instead of a superior metal alternative, or a cheap diode vs. an efficient transistor, or a 10 cent capacitor instead of a 20 cent version might save some pennies in manufacturing costs, but those savings can turn into expensive liabilities when the product fails to power up. These high-volume, low-cost power supplies often employ older design principles and dated topologies.
Twisted pair outputs can be configured for compatibility with DTP 230 Series, DTP 330 Series, XTP CrossPoint matrix switchers, or HDBaseT-enabled displays
