DTP receiver. This guide describes how to install, operate, and configure the switcher. NOTE: In this guide, the DTP T USW 333 is commonly referred to as a “switcher” or a “switching transmitter.” About the DTP T USW 333 Switcher The DTP T USW 333 is a 3 input VGA and HDMI switcher with a DTP transmitter output (see figure 1).
The DTP T USW 333 is housed in a half rack width metal enclosure. It can be set on a tabletop or mounted in a rack, or under or through furniture. The included external desktop 12 VDC power supply accepts 100 to 240 VAC, 50‑60 Hz. A single power supply connected to either unit can power both units through the STP cable.
Installation and Operation This section describes the installation and the operation of the DTP T USW 333, including: Mounting the Unit • • Connections and Reset Button Operation • • Troubleshooting — If no Image Appears Mounting the Unit Mounting instructions can be found in Mounting the Switcher on page 18.

• If you have removed the ground jumpers (see Disconnecting the Ground page 19) because of ground potential differences, the DTP T USW 333 cannot extend analog audio. The connected receiver outputs no analog audio. • The analog audio can be assigned to a specific input or set to be always...
STP Cable Termination NOTE: Do not use Extron UTP23SF‑4 Enhanced Skew‑Free AV UTP cable or STP201 cable to link the switching transmitter and receiver. The DTP T USW 333 Tx/Rx does not work properly with these cables. DTP T USW 333 • Installation and Operation...

Supported cables The DTP T USW 333 is compatible with shielded twisted pair (STP) and unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) cable. However, Extron strongly recommends that you use STP cable to achieve best performance. Cable recommendations Extron recommends using the following practices to achieve full transmission distances up to 330 feet (100 meters) and reduce transmission errors.

(as suggested by a missing or unstable picture), remove the ground connection between the units as follows: NOTE: Once you have removed the ground jumpers, the DTP T USW 333 cannot extend analog audio and one unit cannot remotely power the other. No analog audio is output and the paired receiver requires its own dedicated power supply.
