Introduction
This guide describes the function, installation, and operation of the DTP HD DA4 4K and
DTP HD DA8 4K series of distribution amplifiers. Unless otherwise stated, the terms
“distribution amplifier” or “DA” refer to any of the products in the series.
This section provides the following information:
zAbout the DTP HD DA4/DA8 4K 230/330zFeatureszApplication Diagrams
About the DTP HD DA4/DA8 4K 230/330
These Extron distribution amplifiers distribute one HDMIinput signal to four (DTP HD DA4 4K
230/330) or eight (DTP HD DA8 4K 230/330) simultaneous outputs over shielded twisted pair
(STP) cables. Both models are fully High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) compliant.
These distribution amplifiers support data rates up to 10.2 Gbps (3.4 Gbps per color) with up to
12-bit deep color and use the EDID Minder feature for EDID management.
The automatic output compatibility correction feature scans each output device to ensure that
the output signal is compatible with the color depth and format requirements of the device. Each
output is adjusted independently.
Features
Distributes HDMI plus control and analog audio up to 230 feet (70 meters) or
330 feet (100 meters) over STP cable (depending on the model) — The DTP HD DA
series provides high reliability and maximum performance on an economical and easily
installed cable infrastructure.
Inputs: One HDMI with buffered input loop‑through, one 3.5 mm stereo mini jack
for audio with loop‑through
Outputs: Four (DTP HD DA4 4K 230/330 models) or eight (DTP HD DA8 4K 230/330
models) DTP twisted pair outputs on RJ‑45
Supports computer video up to 2560x1600, HDTV 1080p/60 Deep Color, and 4K
resolutions
DTP outputs are compatible with HDBaseT‑enabled devices — Each DTP output can
be configured to send video and embedded audio, plus bidirectional RS-232 and IR signals
to an HDBaseT-enabled device.
HDMI input loop‑through — The DTP HD DA series features an active local HDMI output
for local monitor support or system expansion.
Audio input with loop‑through accepts additional analog stereo audio signals —
The DTP HD DA series accepts stereo analog audio signals for simultaneous transmission
over the same shielded twisted pair cable, and it includes a loop-through for local audio
system and monitoring needs. Analog audio is not embedded onto the digital video signal,
nor is digital audio de-embedded from the digital video signal.
Extron DTP HD DA4 4K 230/330 and DTP HD DA8 4K 230/330 • Introduction1
Supports multiple embedded audio formats — The DTP HD DA series is compatible
with a broad range of multi-channel audio signals, providing reliable operation with HDMI
sources.
Remote powering of DTP receivers — The DTP HD DA series can provide power to four
or eight DTP receivers over the twisted pair connections, eliminating the need for separate
power supplies at the remote units.
RS‑232 insertion from the Ethernet control port — System level AV device control to
all remote locations via the distribution amplifier’s Ethernet port, providing comprehensive
control of the attached devices without needing additional equipment.
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.
HDCP compliant
Supported HDMI specification features include data rates up to 10.2 Gbps, Deep
Color up to 12‑bit, 3D, and HD lossless audio formats
Key Minder continuously verifies HDCP compliance — Key Minder authenticates
and maintains continuous HDCP encryption between input and output devices to enable
simultaneous distribution of a single source signal to two or more displays.
EDID Minder automatically manages EDID communication between connected
devices — EDID Minder ensures that the source powers up properly and reliably outputs
content for display.
Supports EDID and HDCP transmission — DDC channels are actively buffered, allowing
continuous communication between source and 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 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.
RS‑232 control port — Enables the use of serial commands for integration into a control
system. Extron products use the SIS - Simple Instruction Set command protocol, a set of
basic ASCII commands that allow for quick and easy programming.
RJ‑45 signal and link LED indicators for DTP ports — Provides a means for validating
signal flow and operation, allowing quick identification of connectivity issues.
Compatible with all DTP 230 and DTP 330 Series receivers and DTP‑enabled
products — Enables mixing and matching with desktop and wallplate receivers, as well as
other DTP-enabled products to meet application requirements.

UL Rack-Mounting Guidelines
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirements pertain to the installation of the
unit into a rack.
• Elevated operating ambient temperature — If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater
than room ambient. Therefore, consider installing the equipment in an environment
compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (TMA = +122 °F, +50 °C) specified
by Extron.
• Reduced air flow — Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the
amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
• Mechanical loading — Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a
hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
• Circuit overloading — Consideration should be given to the connection of the
equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have
on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment
nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

Cable Recommendations
Extron recommends using the following practices to achieve full transmission distances and
reduce transmission errors.
• Use the following Extron XTP DTP 24 SF/UTP cables and connectors for the best
performance:
• XTP DTP 24/1000 Non-Plenum 1000’ (305 m) spool 22-236-03
• XTP DTP 24P/1000 Plenum 1000’ (305 m) spool 22-235-03
• XTP DTP 24 Plug Package of 10 101-005-02
• 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.
• Limit the use of 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 shielded couplers and punch down connectors.
NOTE: When using shielded twisted pair 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.

DTP HD DA4/DA8 230/330
RS-232 communication between the distribution amplifier and a host PC can be used to update
firmware or configure the unit using SIS commands (see Command and Response Table for
SIS Commands on page 16).
The computer connects to either the rear panel 3-pole RS-232 port (K on page 7) or the front
panel USB port (B on page 5) of the distribution amplifier.
NOTES:
• Neither port has precedence and commands from either port are handled in the
order they are received.
• Extron recommends that the USB port is used for temporary connections. If a
permanent connection is required, the RS-232 port should be used.
1. Connect an RS-232 cable to the computer, using a female 9-pin D connector (see figure 4):
zData received by the computer = pin 2
zData transmitted by the computer = pin 3
zGround = pin 5
2. Wire the opposite end of the cable to the provided 3-pole captive screw plug (see figure4):
zData transmitted by the DA plugs into the Tx (transmit) port
zData received by the DA plugs into the Rx (receive) port
zGround plugs into the G (ground) port
NOTES:
• The wiring in the RS-232 cables crosses over so that the Tx on the distribution
amplifier connects to the Rx of the control device and vice versa. Ground always
connects to ground.
• If the cable has a drain wire, tie the drain wire to the ground at both ends.

SIS Commands
This section provides information about the SIS commands that are used to configure the
DTP HDDA4 and DTP HD DA8 series. The following topics are discussed:
zIntroduction to SISzSymbols Used in this GuidezDTP HD DA4/DA8 EDID Memory LocationszCommand and Response Table for SIS Commands
Introduction to SIS
The distribution amplifiers can be set up and controlled remotely via Extron SIS commands that
are issued from a host computer running the Extron DataViewer utility or other control system.
The host device can be connected to the RJ-45 LAN connector on the rear panel, the 3-pole
captive screw connector on the rear panel, or to the mini USB config port on the front panel.
The serial protocol is 9600 baud, 8 data bit, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
NOTE: The wiring in the RS-232 cables crosses over so that the distribution amplifier
transmit (Tx) wire connects with the control device receive (Rx) and vice versa.
Host-to-Distribution Amplifier Communications
SIS commands consist of strings (one or more characters per command field). No special
characters are required to begin or end a command sequence. Unless otherwise stated, upper
and lower case characters can be used interchangeably. Most responses from the distribution
amplifier ends with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ]), which signals the end of the
response character string. When the switcher determines that a command is valid, it executes
the command and sends a response to the host device.
Distribution Amplifier-initiated Messages
When a local event such as a change in signal status takes place, the distribution amplifier
responds by sending a message to the host, indicating the status change. No response is
required from the host.
Copyright Information
The copyright message is displayed upon connecting to a DA via TCP/IP or Telnet or after a
power cycle via RS-232.
20yy is the year the currently installed firmware was released, Vx.xx is the firmware version

EDID
User assigned mode
In user assigned mode, the user can select from 55 factory loaded EDID files, each categorized
by rate type (PC or HDTV), video format (DVI or HDMI), audio type (2-Ch or Multi-Ch), and native
resolution. The unit retains this setting after a power cycle.
Additionally, two user-loaded slots are available to save the EDID of any connected display.
EDIDs saved to these slots are retained after a power cycle. Upon a factory reset, these EDIDs
revert to the factory default (720p @ 60 Hz, 2-Ch audio).
A table showing the factory loaded EDID options is shown on the following page. The EDID
memory location is labelled X$ for consistency with the value in the SIS commands.
