DTP CrossPoint 84 Series Matrix Switchers • Introduction 8
EDID Minder — Automatically manages EDID communication between connected devices.
EDID Minder ensures that all sources power up properly and reliably output content for
display.
SpeedSwitch Technology — Provides exceptional switching speed for HDCP-encrypted
content
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 RS-232, USB, or Ethernet, providing
valuable feedback to a system operator or helpdesk support staff.
HDCP Visual Confirmation — Provides a green signal when encrypted content is sent to
a non-compliant display. A full-screen green signal is sent when HDCP-encrypted content is
transmitted to a non-HDCP compliant display, providing immediate visual confirmation that
protected content cannot be viewed on the display.
HDMI to DVI Interface Format Correction — Automatically enables or disables
embedded audio and infoframes, and sets the correct color space for proper connection to
HDMI and DVI displays.
QuickSwitch Front Panel Controller (QS-FPC) with tri-color backlit buttons —
Provides a discrete button for each input and output, allowing for simple, intuitive operation.
Buttons can be custom labeled for easy identification. The buttons illuminate red, green, or
amber depending on function, for ease of use in low-light environments.
View I/O mode — Users can easily view which inputs and outputs are actively connected.
Presets — Frequently used I/O configurations may be recalled either from the QuickSwitch
Front Panel Controller, Ethernet, USB, or RS-232 serial control.
Output muting control — Provides the capability to mute one or all outputs at any time.
This allows, for example, content to be viewed on a local monitor prior to appearing on the
main presentation display.
Aspect ratio control — For the scaled DTP outputs, the aspect ratio of the video can be
controlled by selecting a FILL mode, which provides a full screen output, or a FOLLOW
mode, which preserves the original aspect ratio of the input signal.
Auto Input Memory — When activated for the scaled DTP outputs, the unit automatically
stores size, position, and picture settings based on the incoming signal. When the same
signal is detected again, these image settings are automatically recalled from memory.
Output Standby Mode — The unit can be set to automatically mute video and sync output
to the display device when no active input signal is detected. This allows the projector or
flat-panel display to automatically enter into standby mode to save energy and enhance
lamp or panel life.
User presets — Memory presets are available for each input to store and recall optimized
image settings.
Internal video test patterns for calibration and setup — The unit offers several test
patterns for the scaled DTP outputs, to facilitate proper system setup and calibration of
display devices.
Automatic input cable equalization, up to 100 feet (30 meters), at 1080p at 60 Hz,
with 8-bit color when used with Extron HDMI Pro Series cable — Actively conditions
incoming HDMI signals to compensate for signal loss when using long cables or source
devices with poor HDMI signal output. 4K at 30 Hz, and 2560x1600 at 60 Hz resolutions
are equalized to 50 feet (15 meters). Improves performance when using low quality cables.
Automatic HDMI output reclocking — Reshapes and restores timing of digital video
signals at each HDMI output, eliminating high frequency jitter to ensure reliable transmission
over long cables.
