4K Twisted Pair and Fiber Optic Switching and Transmission
Twisted pair and fiber optic I/O boards and endpoints deliver end-to-end capability for extending 4K video along with audio, control, and Ethernet over a single cable. HDCP 2.3 compliant, XTP 4K Twisted Pair supports signal transmission up to 330 feet (100 meters) and remote powering of endpoints.
XTP 4K Fiber offers a completely integrated solution that incorporates Extron-exclusive, custom designed optical modules. These XTP 4K Fiber products provide increased distance performance up to 500 meters (1,640 feet) over OM4 multimode fiber optic cable and up to 10 km (6.21 miles) when using singlemode cable.
Audio Signal Routing and Management
XTP Systems provide easy integration of analog audio alongside digital embedded signals and offers extensive signal routing and management options. Two separate audio switching planes gives increased flexibility to deliver audio breakaway, digital audio de-embedding, multi-channel audio routing and downmixing, and analog stereo audio embedding without requiring additional components. HDMI, Dante, and stereo audio outputs provide convenient connectivity to the sound reinforcement system. The XTP II CP 4o HD AT 4K PLUS Dante output board adds the capability to take any four stereo audio signals that are routed through the XTP system and transport them as Dante audio. Transmission is over a network using standard Internet protocols. This XTP output board also supports AES67, along with Audinate® Dante Controller and Dante Domain Manager software.
XTP WindoWall Delivers Powerful Capabilities for Videowall Applications
XTP WindoWall® mode utilizes XTP scaling receivers with Extron Vector 4K scaling technology to enable videowall support within XTP Systems. This further expands capabilities and enables broader use in applications, such as command and control and emergency operations centers. Images can be shown full screen, spread across multiple displays or a combination of both. Up to eight videowalls can be supported within an XTP system, and up to eight assignable presets are available per wall for quick and easy viewing between different image arrangements. Convenient software features such as drag and size layout configuration, mullion compensation, and the ability to create multiple presets expedite the setup process without need for expensive custom programming.

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.
Demonstrated Reliability. Proven Performance.
Typical AV power supplies have an average MTBF, Mean Time Between Failure, rating of around 30,000 hours, calculated by using the stated specifications of the individual components.
To ensure that our Everlast power supplies meet Extron standards of performance and quality, we subjected each model of our PS Desktop Series to actual, not calculated, accelerated operation life testing, using a heat chamber at an ambient temperature of 85°C. The power supplies were operated under load for over 2 years. Under these grueling conditions, each hour in the heat chamber is like 64 hours in the real world.
Based on this actual accelerated operational life testing, we achieved MTBF benchmarks of 280,000 hours up to an incredible 1,000,000 hours, or the equivalent of over 114 years, depending on the model. We know of no other company that has gone to such lengths to guarantee power supply reliability. Simply put, our Everlast Power Supplies deliver unprecedented, demonstrated reliability and longevity in the most demanding professional AV environments.
