The Extron DTP T DSW 4K 233 is a versatile, wall-plate mounted switcher designed to streamline source selection and signal distribution in huddle rooms, small conference rooms, and classrooms. It integrates three multi-format inputs—typically including HDMI, VGA, and a third option like DisplayPort or another HDMI—into a single, low-profile wall plate, providing users with a clean and centralized connection point for their laptops or media devices. The switcher's primary function is to allow users to select which source is sent to the room's display(s) via a simple push-button interface or via integrated control systems. Beyond basic switching, it is a "DTP" (Digital Twisted Pair) transmitter, meaning it can convert the selected input into an Extron DTP signal for transmission over a single CATx cable to a compatible DTP receiver located at the display, supporting long runs up to 330 feet (100 meters) while delivering 4K video, embedded audio, and bidirectional control.

Engineered for professional installation, the DSW 4K 233 supports high-resolution 4K video at 60 Hz with 4:4:4 chroma sampling, ensuring sharp text and vibrant imagery for presentations. It handles advanced video features like HDR and HDCP 2.2 content protection. The wall plate design is both functional and aesthetic, with clearly labeled buttons for source selection and status LEDs. More importantly, it integrates seamlessly into Extron's ecosystem, allowing for control via IP, RS-232, or infrared from room control systems like an Extron touch panel. This enables features like automatic input switching when a laptop is connected (via sensing) or scheduled control through software. The built-in DTP transmission eliminates the need for long HDMI cables, simplifying installation and future upgrades by using structured cabling.

The value of this switcher lies in its combination of user-friendly local access, high-performance signal handling, and deep integration capabilities. It solves the common problem of cable clutter and confusing source selection in small meeting spaces by providing a dedicated, professional-grade interface. For the AV integrator, it offers a reliable, scalable solution that can be managed remotely and supports the latest video standards. By consolidating switching and signal extension into one elegant wall plate, the Extron DTP T DSW 4K 233 enhances the user experience, simplifies room operation, and provides a future-proof foundation for modern collaborative spaces.
