Set the toggle switch to the OFF (down) position on the DTP3 unit receiving power. up to 330' (100 m) NOTES: • The DTP3 T 203 device is configured to output power to DTP3 models only. Local • When the output is configured for HDBT mode, remote power is not available and both the Power Supply transmitter and receiver require their own 12 VDC power supply.
RJ-45 Pin Assignment for DTP Communication Supported cables The DTP3 T 203 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.

PCS (see the DTP3 T 203 Help File). Auto-input Switching Auto-input switching allows the DTP3 T 203 to automatically select the active, connected input based on the detection of an active video signal (TMDS clock activity). When auto-input switching is enabled, the green AUTO SWITCH LED on the front panel lights and input selection (front panel input buttons, SIS commands, and contact tally) are disabled.
EDID can be set to match output rate, a custom user-defined EDID, or a factory setting. A variety of EDID are available to be loaded via PCS and assigned to the inputs (see the DTP3 T 203 Help File to assign EDID).
