Compatible with CATx shielded twisted pair cable — The DTP2 R 212 models fully
•
support a maximum transmission distance of 330 feet (100 meters) for all compatible
resolutions when used with CATx shielded twisted pair cable. Shielded twisted pair
cabling with solid center conductor sizes of 24 AWG or better is recommended for
optimal performance.
Remote power capability with DTP2 products — For simplified installation, the
•
standard DTP2 R 212 without amplifier can be remotely powered by a DTP2 transmitter
over the twisted pair connection. It can also be configured to provide power to the
connected DTP2 transmitter.
•
Accepts additional analog stereo audio signals — The DTP2 R 212 models accept
stereo analog audio from a DTP‑enabled product. This audio may be switched to the
stereo captive screw output or the optional stereo amplifier output, independent of the
video input selection.
Stereo audio embedding — Pass‑through audio from the DTP input can be
•
embedded onto the HDMI output.
•
Bidirectional RS-232 and IR pass-through for AV device control — Bidirectional
RS‑232 control and IR signals can be transmitted alongside the video signal, allowing
remote AV devices to be controlled without the need for additional cabling.
RS-232 insertion from the Ethernet control port — Saves system resources and
•
simplifies installation by enabling a control processor to access remote RS‑232 devices
over Ethernet.
Display control RS-232 port — Serial commands inserted from Ethernet can be
•
routed to this port to control a connected display or other device.
•
Supports multiple embedded audio formats — The DTP2 R 212 models are
compatible with a broad range of multi‑channel audio signals, providing reliable
operation with HDMI sources.
Compatible with all DTP transmitters and DTP-enabled products — Enables
•
mixing and matching with desktop and wallplate transmitters, as well as other DTP‑
enabled products to meet application requirements.
User-selectable HDCP authorization — Allows the unit to appear HDCP compliant
•
or non‑HDCP compliant to the connected source, which is beneficial if the source
automatically encrypts all content when connected to an HDCP‑compliant device.
Protected material is not passed in non‑HDCP mode.
•
Comprehensive EDID management — Use PCS software to access EDID Minder for
setting video input EDID, capturing EDID from connected displays, or uploading custom
EDID files. Proper EDID management ensures that sources and displays are easily
integrated into a system resulting in optimized system operation. Freely downloadable
EDID Manager 2.0 software is available for advanced EDID editing and creating custom
EDID files.
•
EDID Minder automatically manages EDID communication between connected
devices — EDID Minder ensures that the source powers up properly and reliably
outputs content for display.
HDCP authentication and signal presence confirmation — Provides real‑time
•
verification of HDCP status for each digital video input and output. This allows for
simple, quick, and easy signal and HDCP verification through front panel LEDs, RS‑232,
USB, or Ethernet, providing valuable feedback to a system operator or helpdesk
support staff.
•
HDCP Visual Confirmation — When HDCP‑encrypted content is transmitted to
a non‑HDCP compliant display, a full‑screen green signal is sent to the display for
immediate visual confirmation that protected content cannot be viewed on that display.
