Introduction This section contains general information about this guide and the Extron XTP T HDMI transmitter and XTP R HDMI receiver. Topics in this section include: • About This Guide • About the XTP HDMI Transmitter and Receiver • Key Features About This Guide This guide contains installation, operation, control, and reference information for the XTP T HDMI transmitter and the XTP R HDMI receiver.
The following diagram shows some ways the XTP T HDMI and the XTP R HDMI can be integrated in an XTP matrix application.
EDID Minder — Automatically manages EDID communication between connected devices. It ensures that all sources power up properly and reliably outputs content for display. Key Minder — Authenticates and maintains continuous HDCP encryption between input and output devices to ensure quick and reliable switching in professional AV environments, while enabling simultaneous distribution of a single source signal to one or more displays.
Installation and Operation This section contains the installation procedures for and operation of the XTP T HDMI and the XTP R HDMI. Topics in this section include: • Cabling • Making Connections • Operation XTP HDMI transmitters and receivers can be mounted in a rack or under a desk or placed on a tabletop (see Mounting on page 29 for more mounting details). Cabling XTP T HDMI Rear Panel Connectors g a b INPUTS POWER 12V 1.0 A MAX AUDIO ON HDMI Figure 2.
d RS-232 Over XTP port — To pass bidirectional serial, Infrared, or other control signals between XTP-compatible devices, connect a control device to the 5-pole captive screw connector. The port includes only the 3 poles labeled “RS-232.” RS-232 IR Over XTP port — To enable the ability to transmit and receive IR signals (up to 40 kHz), connect a control device to the 5-pole captive screw connector. This port includes only the 2 poles labeled “IR” and shares the ground pole with the RS-232 port.

Making Connections HDMI LockIt Use an Extron LockIt Lacing Bracket to secure an HDMI cable to each device as follows: 1. Plug the HDMI cable into the panel connection. 3 4 3 2 5 1 Figure 7. Installing the LockIt Lacing Bracket 2. Loosen the HDMI connection mounting screw from the panel enough to allow the LockIt lacing bracket to be placed over it. The screw does not have to be removed. 3.
TP Cable Termination and Recommendations Use the following pin configurations for twisted pair cables.
RS-232 and IR Communication The RS-232 and IR Over XTP connector is for pass-through transmission of serial signals, such as projector control signals, and Infrared data (see figure 9 below for an example of how to wire the connector). Custom IR Device Rx Tx G Tx Rx Tx Rx RS-232 G IR Tx/Rx Pins Tx Rx G RS-232 Device Figure 9. Wiring the RS-232 and IR Connector Cross the Tx and Rx lines once between the source and target. ATTENTION: The length of exposed wires is critical.
Power Connection Apply power to the transmitter or receiver locally with the provided power supply or remotely with a power injector or a matrix switcher. ATTENTION: XTP remote power is intended for indoor use only. No part of the network that uses XTP remote power should be routed outdoors. Local power 2-Pole Captive Screw Connector Tie Wrap 3/16” (5 mm) Max. SECTION A–A Smooth Ridges A A Power Supply Output Cord Figure 10.
Remote power The XTP HDMI transmitter and receiver can be powered remotely through an XTP Power Injector or through an XTP matrix switcher. ATTENTION: XTP remote power is intended for indoor use only. No part of the network that uses XTP remote power should be routed outdoors.
Operation After all transmitters, all receivers, and their connected devices are powered up, the system is fully operational. If any problems are encountered, verify that the cables are routed and connected properly. If problems persist, call the Extron S3 Sales & Technical Support Hotline. See the contact numbers on the last page of this guide for the nearest Extron office.

Audio Output Overview By default, the XTP HDMI transmitter prioritizes embedded digital audio over analog audio. Use SIS commands or the XTP System Configuration Software to manually select the audio input (see SIS Configuration and Control on page 16 or the XTP System Configuration Software on page 23). Audio Output Audio Input Format HDMI S/PDIF Analog LPCM up to 7.1, 24 bit, 192 kHz X X X Multi-channel PCM X Dolby Digital 2/0 X X Dolby Digital 2/0 Surround X X Dolby Digital 5.
SIS Configuration and Control The XTP T HDMI and XTP R HDMI can be configured and controlled using Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands or the XTP System Configuration Software (see XTP System Configuration Software on page 23). This section contains basic SIS communication details and SIS commands and responses when connected directly to an XTP T HDMI or XTP R HDMI.
Error Responses When the XTP T HDMI or the XTP R HDMI receives an SIS command and determines that it is valid, it performs the command and sends the corresponding response to the host device. If the command is determined invalid or contains invalid parameters, the transmitter or receiver returns an error response to the host.
