compact, economical amplifier.

• Extron-patented CDRS™ - Class D Ripple Suppression — CDRS is an

Extron Patented technology that provides a smooth, clean audio waveform and an
improvement in signal fidelity over conventional Class D amplifier designs. CDRS
eliminates the high frequency switching ripple characteristic of Class D amplifiers,
a source of RF emissions which can interfere with sensitive AV equipment such as
wireless microphones.

• Automatic clip limiter — Detects actual onset of clipping by comparing input and

output waveforms. Gain is automatically reduced without audible artifacts to protect
speakers from clipping distortion.

• Selectable volume control — Allows the output volume to be remotely controlled

via SIS or using an optional Extron VCM 110 or VCM 200 analog volume and mute
controller or the VC 50 analog volume controller.

• 25.8 watts rms output power: 2 x 12.9 watts @ 4 ohms or 2 x 7.6 watts

@ 8 ohms — Used in combination with surface mount or ceiling speakers, the
integrated amplifier provides a compact, economical audio solution for classrooms,
meeting rooms and other applications, providing a significant step‑up in sound
quality over the speakers built into displays.

• CEC - Consumer Electronics Control Capability — Standard, built‑in CEC

commands can be triggered to control displays or other AV devices connected to
the HDMI output. The ability to control specific functions, such as power on/off, input
selection, or volume level, is dependent on implementation by the device manufacturer.

• Extron XTP DTP 24 shielded twisted pair cable is strongly recommended for

optimal performance

DTP2 R 212 Series • Introduction 2

• 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.

• 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.

DTP2 R 212 Series • Introduction 3

• HDMI to DVI Interface Format Correction — Automatically enables or disables

embedded audio and InfoFrames, and sets the correct color space for proper

(OFF) position on the DTP2 unit receiving power.

NOTES: Guidelines for setting the Send Power switch:

• If you are using the DTP2 R 212 SA (amplified audio) receiver, the power output

of the DTP2 transmitter is not enough to power the receiver. You can send
power from the receiver to the transmitter, but not from the transmitter to the
receiver (see figure5 on page11).

• If you are using the DTP2 R 212 receiver (not the SA model), the power output

of the DTP2 transmitter is enough to power the receiver. You can send power
either way, if desired (see figure4 on page10).

DTP2 R 212 Series • Installation 9

ATTENTION:

• The DTP2R212 device is configured to send or receive power with other

4. To verify the power cord polarity before connecting the plug, connect the power supply

with no load and check the output with a voltmeter.

5. Use the supplied tie wrap to strap the power cord to the extended tail of the connector.

DTP2 R 212 Series • Installation 12

ATTENTION:

• Always use a power supply provided by or specified by Extron. Use of an unauthorized

power supply voids all regulatory compliance certification and may cause damage to
the supply and the end product.

• Utilisez toujours une source d’alimentation fournie ou recommandée par Extron.

L’utilisation d’une source d’alimentation non autorisée annule toute certification de
conformité réglementaire, et peut endommager la source d’alimentation et l’unité.

• The installation must always be in accordance with the applicable provisions of National

Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, article 725 and the Canadian Electrical Code part 1,
section 16. The power supply shall not be permanently fixed to building structure or
similar structure.

• Cette installation doit toujours être conforme aux dispositions applicables du Code

américain de l’électricité (National Electrical Code) ANSI/NFPA 70, article 725, et du
Code canadien de l’électricité, partie1, section16. La source d’alimentation ne devra
pas être fixée de façon permanente à la structure de bâtiment ou à d’autres structures
similaires.

• Use a UL Listed external power supply with rated output 12 VDC, minimum 0.3 A, NEC

Class 2, or LPS output.

• Utilisez une source d’alimentation externe certifiée UL, avec une tension nominale 12

Vcc, 0,3 A minmum, NEC Class 2, ou sortie LPS.

• Power supply voltage polarity is critical. Incorrect voltage polarity can damage the

power supply and the unit. The ridges on the side of the cord identify the power cord
negative lead (see figure6 on page12). To verify the polarity before connection,
plug in the power supply with no load and check the output with a voltmeter.

• La polarité de la source d’alimentation est primordiale. Une polarité incorrecte pourrait

endommager la source d’alimentation et l’unité. Les stries sur le côté du cordon
permettent de repérer le pôle négatif du cordon d’alimentation (voir figure6 sur la

page12). Pour vérifier la polarité avant la connexion, brancher l’alimentation hors

charge et mesurer sa sortie avec un voltmètre.

• The length of the exposed wires in the stripping process is important. The ideal length

is 3/16 inches (5 mm). Any longer and the exposed wires may touch, causing a short
circuit between them. Any shorter and the wires can be easily pulled out even if tightly
fastened by the captive screws.

• La longueur des câbles exposés est importante lorsque l’on entreprend de les dénuder.

La longueur idéale est de 5mm (3/16inches). S’ils sont trop longs, les câbles exposés
pourraient se toucher et provoquer un court‑circuit. S’ils sont trop courts, ils peuvent
être tirés facilement, même s’ils sont correctement serrés par les borniers à vis.

• Unless otherwise stated, the AC/DC adapters are not suitable for use in air handling

spaces or in wall cavities.

• Sauf mention contraire, les adaptateurs CA/CC ne conviennent pas à une utilisation

dans les espaces d’aération ou dans les cavités murales.

• Remote power is intended for indoors use only. No part of a network that uses remote

power can be routed outdoors.

• L’alimentation à distance est exclusivement réservée à un usage en intérieur. Un réseau

utilisant une alimentation à distance ne peut pas être routé en extérieur.

• The power supply shall not be permanently fixed to building structure or similar

structure.

• La source d’alimentation ne devra pas être fixée de façon permanente à la structure

de bâtiment ou à d’autres structures similaires.

Extron recommends using the following practices to achieve full transmission distances up
to 230feet (70meters) or 330feet (100meters) and reduce transmission errors.

• Use the following Extron XTPDTP24STP cables and DTP 24 connectors for the best

performance:

• XTP DTP 24/1000 Non‑Plenum 1000feet (305meters) spool

• XTP DTP 24P/1000 Plenum 1000feet (305meters) spool

• XTP DTP 24 Plug Package of 10

• If not using XTP DTP 24 cable, at a minimum, Extron recommends 24 AWG, solid

conductor, STP cable with a minimum bandwidth of 400MHz.

• Terminate cables with shielded connectors to the TIA/EIA‑T568B standard.

• Use no more than two pass‑through points, which may include patch points, punch

down connectors, couplers, and power injectors. If these pass‑through points are
required, use Category 6 or 6a shielded couplers and punch down connectors.

NOTE: When using TP cable in bundles or conduits, consider the following:

• Do not exceed 40% fill capacity in conduits.

• Do not comb the cable for the first 20 meters, where cables are straightened,

aligned, and secured in tight bundles.

• Loosely place cables and limit the use of tie wraps or hook‑and‑loop fasteners.

• Separate twisted pair cables from AC power cables.

output.

HDCP status LEDs —

F

• Inputs — Each input has a corresponding HDCP LED. If the connected source

requires HDCP, the corresponding LED lights when authentication is successful.

NOTE: HDCP is authenticated on each input regardless of the currently

selected source.

• Output — Lights if the currently selected input requires HDCP and the connected

output device has been successfully authenticated.

NOTE: HDCP is re‑authenticated on the output whenever a new input is

selected.

NOTE: All front panel LEDs flash three times simultaneously when Executive Mode

(front panel lockout) is enabled or disabled via SIS Commands (see Front Panel

Lockout (unsolicited) on page43) or PCS (see the DTP2R212 PCS Help

File.

To power on the DTP2R212 receiver:

1. Connect all input and output devices to the rear panel ports on the receiver (see Rear

Panel Features on page8 for the rear panel connections).

2. Power on the display.

3. Power on the DTP2R212 — Connect the power supply to the 2‑pole captive screw

power inlet on the receiver rear panel.

After approximately 4 seconds, the following happens:

• The unit performs a self‑test, during which the front panel Auto Switch, Inputs,

Signal, and HDCP LEDs blink constantly. When the self‑test completes, the LEDs

blink once to indicate the receiver is fully functional.

• The receiver reads the available EDID information from the connected output device

and writes it to memory on each input.

4. Power on the input devices.

Selecting an Input

To switch an input to the output, you have the following options:

• Front panel buttons — Press the desired input button on the front panel (ensure auto‑

input switching is not enabled).

• The appropriate front panel input LED lights to indicate the selected input.

• The LED remains lit until a new input is selected.

• Only one input can be switched to the output at a time.

NOTE: Buttons are disabled in auto‑switch mode, but LEDs still indicate the

selected input. For more information about auto‑input switching, see Enabling

Auto-Input Switching on page23

DTP2 R 212 Series • Operation 20

• Remote control — Inputs can be selected using Extron SIS commands (see Input

Selection (unsolicited) on page42) and PCS (see the DTP2R212 PCS Help File).

Front Panel Lockout (Executive Mode)

Front panel lock out prevents the user from changing input selection via the front panel
input buttons. Putting the receiver in lock mode enhances security by protecting against
inappropriate or accidental changes to settings. If a front panel button is pressed during lock
mode, all front panel LEDs blink once.

NOTE: Front panel lockout can only be enabled or disabled via SIS commands (see

Front Panel Lockout (unsolicited) on page43) or PCS (see the DTP2R212 PCS

Help File) through the RS‑232 or USB ports.

Connecting to the USB Port

The mini‑B USB port is located on the front panel of the DTP2R212 (see figure14). Use
this port to configure the receiver via SIS commands or PCS.

1. Connect a USBA to mini‑B cable between the USB Config port on the receiver front

to a different USB port on your computer.

7. Configure the receiver as desired using SIS commands (see SIS Commands starting

on page35) or PCS (see the DTP2R212 PCS Help File).

The DTP2R212 can automatically select the active, connected input based on detection
of an active video signal (TMDS clock activity). If two or more inputs are active, the highest‑
numbered input port with an active signal is selected. The Auto Switch priority can be
reversed to lowest active input via SIS commands (see Auto Switch Mode (unsolicited)
on page42) or PCS (see the DTP2R212 PCS Help File).

• When auto‑input switching is in effect, the green Auto Switch LED on the front panel

lights and the front panel input buttons are disabled.

• When Auto Switch is disabled, the Auto Switch LED does not light.

To enable and operate auto‑input switching via the front panel:

1. Press and hold the Input 1 button for 3 seconds.

2. Press and release the Input 2 button to toggle between Normal mode and Auto Switch

mode.

EDID Minder

The DTP2R212 uses EDID Minder, which ensures that a source device connected to the
receiver input continuously sees the EDID of a sink device, even if the sink is not physically
connected. By default, the EDID is set to 1080p@60Hz with 2‑channel audio. EDID can
be configured with PCS (see the DTP2R212 PCS Help File).

EDID Memory Retention

The assigned EDID is stored to an EEPROM, which is located at the HDMI input. The stored
EDID is retained until a reset is initiated.

Hot Plug Detect (HPD)

HPD remains high on all inputs while the unit is powered on. The HPD drops low only while
EDID is updated.

DTP2 R 212 Series • Operation 23

HDCP

Input

The HDMI input negotiates and authenticates HDCP with the source device if the source
requires HDCP encryption. The authentication process is repeated whenever the stored
EDID is changed or updated, which is indicated by pulling HPD low.

HDCP support can be disabled for each input independently using the SIS command

HDCP Authorized Device on page43 or PCS (see the DTP2R212 PCS Help File).

Output

The output is individually pre‑authenticated and encrypted, in accordance with the
configured HDCP output mode using SIS commands (see Output HDCP Mode on
page43) or PCS (see the DTP2R212 PCS Help File).

If an output requires encryption but the connected sink device cannot be authenticated, that
output displays a green screen.

HDCP output modes

• Follow input — Output is always authenticated but only encrypted when required by

input. HDMI authentication is continuous. DVI authentication occurs for a maximum of
10seconds, then fails. This is the default mode.

• Always encrypt output — Output is always authenticated and encrypted. HDMI

authentication is continuous. DVI authentication occurs for a maximum of 10seconds,
then fails.

Audio Configuration

Analog Audio Mute

The analog audio output can be muted via SIS commands (see Audio Mute on page46)
or PCS (see the DTP2R212 PCS Help File).

Output Audio Configuration

Embedded audio can be enabled or disabled on the HDMI output via SIS commands (see

Output Audio Configuration on page45) or PCS (see the DTP2R212 PCS Help File).

SIS Commands

This section describes remote operation of the DTP2R212 switching receiver. Topics
include:

• Using Simple Instruction Set (SIS) Commands

• Symbol Definitions

• Command and Response Table for SIS Commands

• Command and Response Table for CEC Communications SIS Commands

Using Simple Instruction Set (SIS) Commands

The DTP2R212 can be remotely set up and controlled via Extron SIS commands that are
issued from a host computer or other device, such as a control system. SIS commands
can be issued via RS‑232 from the computer serial port to the rear panel Remote port,
an Ethernet cable for LAN control, or USB from the computer USB port to the front panel
Config port (see Display and Remote RS-232 Control on page16 or Connecting to

the USB Port on page21 to connect to these ports).

Commands can be entered using a communication software program such as Extron
DataViewer, available at www.extron.com (see the DataViewer Help file for more details).

The default protocol for the RS‑232 connection is 9600 baud, no parity, 8‑bit, 1 stop bit.

Host‑to‑switcher Communications

SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are
required to begin or end a command sequence. When the switcher determines that a
command is valid, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device.

Responses from the DTP2R212 to the host computer end with a carriage return and a line
feed (CR/LF = ]), which signals the end of the response character string. A string is one or
more characters.

Switcher‑initiated Messages

When a local event such as a front panel selection or change in signal status takes place,
the switcher responds by sending a message to the host, indicating what change has
occurred. No response is required from the host.

The switcher sends the following message when it is first powered on:
(C) Copyright 2020, Extron Electronics DTP2 R 212, Vn.nn, 60-1588-52

• Vn.nn is the firmware version number.

• 60-1588-52 is the part number of the unit.

NOTE: This message is displayed at power‑up only with an RS‑232 connection.

DTP2 R 212 Series • SIS Commands 35

Password Messages

If the DTP2 R 212 is protected by a password, the following password message prompts
you for the password to access the features.

]

Password

The prompt requires a password, followed by a carriage return. The prompt is repeated if
the correct password is not entered.

• For initial setup: For initial setup, you must enter the serial number of your unit at the

password prompt (the serial number can be found on another label on the rear panel).
This password allows administrator level access.

If the correct password is entered, access is granted and the command prompt is
displayed. If the password is incorrect, the ]Password] prompt reappears.

NOTE: Performing a unit factory reset (such as entering a ZQQQ SIS command)

removes the serial number password, leaving the unit with no password.

• After a password change: After the initial access, you can keep the serial number

password or change it. You can also set administrator and user level passwords (see
the Passwords on page50).

When you enter the new password correctly, the unit responds with one of the
following, depending on the password entered:

]

•

Login Administrator]

]

•

Login User

(If the password is not accepted, the Password prompt reappears.)

The Login Administrator response represents administrator level access, while the
Login User response represents user level access. If the passwords are the same for both
administrator and user, the unit defaults to administrator privileges.

If the unit is not password‑protected, it is ready to accept SIS commands immediately after
it sends the copyright message.

]

]

Error Responses

If the switcher is unable to execute a command it receives because the command is invalid
or contains invalid parameters, the switcher returns an error response to the host. The
following error response codes can be sent:

E01 – Invalid input number
E06 – Invalid channel change
E10 – Invalid command
E13 – Invalid parameter
E14 – Invalid for this configuration
E17 – Invalid command for signal type
E24 – Privilege violation

DTP2 R 212 Series • SIS Commands 36

Timeout

Space

Pauses of 10seconds or longer between command ASCII characters result in a timeout.
The command operation is aborted with no other indication.

Unsolicited Responses

Unsolicited responses are initiated automatically when the state changes on the unit for
input selection, signal status, HDCP input status, HDCP output status, executive mode
enable and disable, and auto switch enable and disable.

Using the Command and Response Table

The Command and Response Table for SIS Commands starting on page42 lists
valid ASCII and hexadecimal command codes, the switcher responses to the host, and a
description of the command function or the results of executing the command.

The conversion table below is for use with the command and response table.

The DTP2R212 unit can be mounted on a 9.5‑inch or 6‑inch, or 3.5‑inch deep rack shelf.
The switcher can also be mounted vertically to the front or back rack support. For mounting
procedures, see the instructions provided with the mounting option.

UL rack mounting guidelines

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the safe installation of the
equipment in a rack.

• Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the equipment is installed in a closed

or multi‑unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment
may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, install the equipment in
an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (TMA = +122°F,
+50°C) specified by Extron.

• Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in a rack so that the amount of air flow

required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

• Mechanical loading — When mounting the equipment in the rack, ensure that uneven

mechanical loading does not cause a hazardous condition.

• Circuit overloading — When connecting the equipment to the supply circuit, consider

the effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply
wiring. Consider equipment nameplate ratings when addressing this concern.

• Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable grounding of rack‑mounted

equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections
to the branch circuit (for example, use of power strips).

Furniture Mounting

The DTP2R212 can be mounted under a desk, table, or podium using an under‑desk
mounting kit (see the mounting instructions provided with the kit).
