The Extron XTP R HWP 201 is a decorator-style wallplate receiver for XTP Systems® that include wall‑mounted displays. The HDMI output connector is oriented upward at a 90° angle, which minimizes stress on the cable and allows for a low‑profile flat panel display installation. The receiver accepts XTP® signals from up to 330 feet (100 meters) away over a shielded CATx cable and outputs video, audio, bidirectional RS‑232 and IR control, and Ethernet to the display. It also provides HDMI audio de‑embedding with analog stereo audio output and volume control. For simplified integration, the wallplate receiver can be remotely powered by the XTP CrossPoint® matrix switcher or via optional power injector. The XTP R HWP 201 is designed for use in XTP Systems to support long‑distance signal transmission in wall‑mount environments.
The XTP R HWP 201 is ideal for applications that require an AV and control connection point for a wall-mounted display that is reliable, discreet, and easy to integrate. A convenient cable tie-down point ensures a secure and reliable HDMI connection. The wallplate receiver supports computer and video resolutions up to 1920x1200, including 1080p/60 with Deep Color and 2K. It enables the reliable, long distance distribution of HDMI signals, supporting Deep Color up to 12‑bit, and embedded HD lossless audio formats. In addition, DDC channels are actively buffered, allowing EDID and HDCP communication to be maintained between a source and display. Continuous communication ensures device compatibility and optimal signal transmission between devices.
The receiver includes Extron technologies to enhance and simplify integration with HDMI-equipped devices. For HDMI signals with protected content, Key Minder® authenticates and maintains HDCP encryption to provide quick and reliable transmission across the cable infrastructure. If HDCP-encrypted content is sent to a non-compliant display, a full-screen green signal is sent, providing immediate visual notification that protected content cannot be viewed on the display. Another included technology is EDID Minder®, which ensures continuous EDID communication between devices.
In addition to high performance video, the XTP R HWP 201 accepts audio signals over the same CATx cable. It provides signal distribution for HDMI embedded audio or audio de-embedding with two-channel balanced/unbalanced analog stereo. To precisely control audio, the XTP wallplate receiver includes analog audio volume adjustment and muting.
The XTP R HWP 201 includes an RS‑232 and IR insertion port, allowing bidirectional control of an AV device using the one CATx cable. This feature simplifies integration with a control system for managing a remote display. Additionally, centralized 10/100 Ethernet communication can be implemented via the Ethernet extension port to reduce the number of independent network drops required within a system and two built-in relays allow operation of a projector lift, screen, or similar device at the remote location.
To further simplify system design, the receiver can be powered by the XTP CrossPoint® matrix switcher over the same cable that transmits the AV and control signals. This capability speeds up installation at remote endpoints by eliminating the need to provide AC power to the device. The remote powering capabilities and unique form factor of the XTP R HWP 201 allow for discreet placement behind a flat panel display or in a floor box.
Extron recommends Extron-certified XTP DTP 24 shielded twisted pair cable, shielded RJ-45 plugs, jacks, and couplers engineered for optimum signal transmission with Extron XTP Systems. This cable is certified to 475 MHz, and utilizes a SF/UTP design with four unshielded 24 AWG twisted pair conductors inside an overall braid and foil shield for superior performance and noise immunity.
Extron XTP Systems
Extron XTP Systems provide a completely integrated switching and distribution solution for multiple digital and analog formats. They support local connectivity as well as extended transmission capability for sending high resolution video, audio, RS‑232, and Ethernet up to 330 feet (100 meters) over a shielded CATx cable and up to 10 km (6.21 miles) over fiber optic cable. Each system is HDCP compliant and delivers ultra-fast, highly reliable digital switching with Extron's SpeedSwitch® Technology.
At the heart of a system is an XTP CrossPoint matrix switcher. The modular matrix switchers are expandable from 4x4 to 64x64, depending on frame size, and can be populated with a wide variety of XTP I/O matrix boards. Input and output boards provide direct HDMI, SDI, DVI, VGA, video, and audio connections to local sources and displays, and signal extension to remote endpoints when using XTP transmitters and receivers. The matrix switcher can also provide power to a remote XTP device over CATx cabling, depending on transmitter model.
The online XTP System Builder tool gives convenient access for complete system design. The tool also features a printable bill of materials, pricing, and quote submittal. Once the order is confirmed and received, the included XTP System Configuration Software enables easy setup and configuration right out of the box.
To configure, operate, and monitor the system in real time, user-friendly control software offers a complete view of all XTP devices from a computer. With hot‑swappable modular components, a wide selection of XTP transmitters and receivers, and advanced 24/7 system monitoring, XTP Systems are designed to provide continuous, trouble-free operation in the most critical applications.
