About this Guide
This guide describes the DTPTSW4HD4K switcher and discusses how to install,
configure, and operate it.
In this guide, the terms “switcher”, “transmitter” and “switching transmitter” refer to the
DTPTSW4HD4K switcher.
About the DTPTSW4HD4K Switcher
The DTPTSW4HD4K is a four input HDMI switcher with a DTP output capable of
switching and extending HDMI signals up to 330feet (100meters). It is an HDCP compliant
switcher, that supports video resolutions up to 4K@30Hz at 4:4:4, or 4K@60Hz at 4:2:0
sub-sampling, including 1080p@60Hz Deep Color, as well as data rates up to 10.2Gbps,
3D, Lip Sync, and HD lossless audio formats. The switcher features four HDMI inputs, with
a DTP/HDBase-T™ (DTP/HDBT) output, so it can be integrated into many applications that
use a DTP equipped receiver or HDBase-T capable products. For easy integration, remote
power is available via the DTP output.
The DTPTSW4HD4K switcher can be controlled via the front panel, the RS-232
interface, USB, or contact closure. Inputs can be selected by pressing the front
panel buttons, enabling auto-input switching, attaching a jumper or a contact
closure device to the contact port, entering Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands
or Extron Product Configuration Software (PCS) via USB. The switcher also features contact
and tally ports, used in tandem with Extron ShowMe cables. Additionally, two auxiliary

ATTENTION:
• Always use a power supply supplied and 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 conformité
réglementaire et peut endommager la source d’alimentation ainsi que le produit
final.
• If not provided with a power supply, this product is intended to be supplied by a
power source marked “Class 2” or “LPS” and rated at 12VDC and a minimum of
1.3A.
• Si le produit n’est pas fourni avec une source d’alimentation, il doit être alimenté
par une source d’alimentation certifié UL de classe 2 ou LPS, avec une tension
nominale 12 Vcc, 1.3 A minimum.
• 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, partie1, section16. La source d’alimentation ne
devra pas être fixée de façon permanente à une structure de bâtiment ou à une
structure similaire.
• 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 (see figure 3 on the
previous page) identify the power cord negative lead.
• 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 (voir l’illustration 3 sur la page précédente) permettent de repérer le pôle
négatif du cordon d’alimentation.
• To verify the polarity before connection, plug in the power supply with no load and
check the output with a voltmeter.
• Pour vérifier la polarité avant la connexion, brancher l’alimentation hors charge et
mesurer sa sortie avec un voltmètre.
• The length of the exposed (stripped) copper wires is important. The ideal length is
3/16inch (5mm). Longer bare wires can short together. Shorter wires are not as
secure in the connectors and could be pulled out.
• La longueur des câbles exposés est primordiale lorsque l’on entreprend de les
dénuder. La longueur idéale est de 5mm (3/16inches). 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

Supported cables
DTPTSW4HD4Kis 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 330feet (100meters) and reduce transmission errors.
• Use the following ExtronXTPDTP24STP cables and DTP24 connectors for the best
• If not using XTPDTP24 cable, at a minimum, Extron recommends 24AWG, solid
conductor, STP cable with a minimum bandwidth of 400MHz.
• 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.
NOTES: 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 65feet (20meters), where cables are
straightened, aligned, and secured in tight bundles.

Auto-Input Switching
The DTPTSW4HD4K switcher 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. When auto-input
switching is in effect, the green Auto Switch LED on the front panel (see figure 7, A on
page 13) lights and the front panel input buttons are disabled.
To enable auto-input switching:
1. Cut a small piece of wire to use as a jumper.
2. Insert the ends of the wire into the two pins of the provided 2-pole captive
screw connector, connecting pins 1 and 2 together.
3. Use a small screwdriver to tighten the two screws above pins of the
connector so that the jumper wire ends remain securely in place (see
diagram on the right).
4. Insert the connector into the 2-pole Auto captive screw port on the rear
panel (see figure 2,H on page 5).
Auto-input switching remains in effect as long as the jumper wire connects the
two Auto pins of the 2-pole captive screw.
Securing the HDMI Connector
Follow these instructions to secure the input connectors to the switcher with the LockIt
HDMI lacing bracket provided:
1. Plug the HDMI cable into the rear panel connection.
2. Loosen the HDMI connection mounting screw
from the panel enough to allow the LockIt

Powering on the Switcher
To power on the DTPTSW4HD4K:
1. Connect all input and output devices to the rear panel ports on the switcher (see Rear
Panel Features on page 5 for the rear panel connections).
2. Power on the display.
3. Power on the DTPTSW4HD4K: Insert the 2-pole captive screw power supply
connector into the power inlet on the switcher rear panel.
After approximately 4seconds, the following happens:
• The unit performs a self-test, during which the front panel Auto Switch, Inputs,
Signal, and HDCP LEDs each blink once in sequence from left to right. When the
self-test completes, the LED for the most recently selected input remains lit.
• The switcher reads the available EDID information from the connected output
device and writes it to memory on each input. When power is removed, these
settings remain in memory and are in effect when power is reapplied.
4. Power on the input devices.
Selecting an Input
To select an input, you have the following options:
• Front panel buttons — Press the desired input button on the front panel.
• 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: Front panel buttons are disabled in auto-switch mode and executive mode.

EDID Minder
The DTPTSW4HD4K switcher uses EDIDMinder, which ensures that a source device
connected to the HDMI input continuously sees the EDID of a sink device, even after the
sink is disconnected.
By default, the EDID is set to 1080p@60Hz with 2-channel audio (slot 11).
Additional available values are shown in the table below. There are 12 factory-loaded EDIDs,
one slot is automatically populated by EDID from a connected sink device, and two slots
can be manually populated with EDID imported by the user.

Output Slot
This slot contains the EDID of the connected sink device. When HPD is detected, the EDID
of the sink device is stored automatically.
When a sink is removed or power to the switcher is cycled, the EDID is removed from the
slot and replaced with the default value until a sink is detected and the EDID stored.
User Slots
These two slots are available for storing imported EDID files. Initially, these slots contain the
default EDID until they are overwritten by the imported files. The imported files remain in the
slots until they are overwritten or the unit is reset.
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.
DTPTSW4HD4K • Operation27
Page 36
HDCP
The DTPTSW4HD4K switcher acts as an HDCP and HDMI repeater by actively handling
HDCP key negotiation and authentication on the inputs and the output. However, it does not
report itself as a repeater or forward a KSV list. The switcher supports HDCP output mode.
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 using SIS command (see HDCP Input Authorization on
page 44) or PCS (see Input Configuration Panel on page 31).
Output
The output is pre-authenticated and encrypted, in accordance with the configured HDCP
output mode. If the output requires encryption but the connected sink device cannot be
authenticated, the 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
10seconds, 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 10seconds,
then fails.
• Follow Input (with continuous DVI trials) — Output is always authenticated but only
encrypted when required by input. Both HDMI and DVI authentication are continuous.
• Always encrypt output (with continuous DVI trials) — Output is always
authenticated and encrypted. Both HDMI and DVI authentication are continuous.
TMDS output format
The TMDS output format has three components:
• Video format — either DVI or HDMI
• Color space — RGB 4:4:4, YCbCr 4:2:2, or YUV 4:4:4
• Quantization range — either full (0-255) or limited (16-235)
By default, the input format is configured for Auto, which automatically forces RGB 4:4:4
Full, with the video format dependent on the source signal and the sink capabilities. Use SIS
commands or PCS to force the output format (see TMDS Output Format on page 44 or
Output Configuration Panel on page 31)
Color depth and deep color support
The options are:
• Automatic — The DTPTSW4HD4K switcher determines the best color depth
supported by the sink by monitoring the EDID of the sink.
• Force 8‑bit
This can also be disabled or changed via SIS commands or PCS (see Video Color Bit
Depth on page 43 or Output Configuration Panel on page 31).

This section describes remote operation of the DTPTSW4HD4K switcher. Topics include:
• Using Simple Instruction Set (SIS) Commands
• Command and Response Table for SIS Commands
Using Simple Instruction Set (SIS) Commands
The DTPTSW4HD4K switcher 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 (see Remote RS‑232 Control Connector on page 11), or via USB from
the computer USB port to the front panel Config port (see Connecting to the USB Port
on page 24 to connect to this port).
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. You can enter these commands from your
computer using a communication software program such as Extron DataViewer. When
the switcher determines that a command is valid, it executes the command and sends a
response to the host device.
Responses from the DTPTSW4HD4K switcher 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:
DTPTSW4HD4K • Remote Communication and Control
40
Page 49
Error Responses
Space
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 channel (out of range)
E06 – Invalid input while in auto-switch mode
E10 – Invalid command
E13 – Invalid value (out of range)
E14 – Invalid for this configuration
Using the Command and Response Table
The Command and Response Table for SIS Commands, starting on page 43, 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.

Mounting
Mounting the DTPTSW4HD4K Switcher
The DTPTSW4HD4K switcher can be set on a table, mounted on a rack shelf, or
mounted under a desk, podium, or table.
ATTENTION:
• Installation and service must be performed by authorized personnel only.
• L’installation et l’entretien doivent être effectués par le personnel autorisé
uniquement.
Tabletop Use
Four self-adhesive rubber feet are included with the DTPTSW4HD4K switcher. For
tabletop use, attach one foot at each corner on the bottom of the unit, and place the
switcher where desired.
Rack Mounting
The DTPTSW4HD4K switcher can be mounted on a 9.5 inch, 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 DTPTSW4HD4K can be mounted under a desk, table, or podium using an
under-desk mounting kit from the Extron UTS100 Series (see the mounting instructions
provided with the kit).
