Out of the Box Videos

Extron Out of the Box videos are an instructional series that demonstrate the speed and ease with which Extron products can be installed and configured, right Out of the Box. Hosted by Extron Systems Support Engineer Chris Bach and geared toward AV integrators and installers, Out of the Box videos provide an unedited and unvarnished view of the time saving, integration-friendly features that are engineered into every Extron product. All videos are produced in one continuous take and demonstrate how to set up an Extron product from opening the box to fully configured and operational, typically in 15 minutes or less. This is an ongoing series – feel free to check back for additional videos about other Extron products in the future.

DTP CrossPoint 108 4K
Chris Bach takes a brand new DTP CrossPoint® 108 4K IPCP SA out of the box and walk you through the quick and simple process of integrating this all-in-one 4K scaling presentation matrix switcher into an AV system. Chris shows how local and remote sources and displays, along with sound reinforcement equipment, can be connected into a system incorporating laptops, a wireless microphone, speakers, and two 4K flat panel displays. He uses DTP® 230 and DTP 330 twisted pair transmitters and receivers to extend AV and control signals throughout the system. Chris also connects an Extron TLP 1020T TouchLink® Pro touchpanel, which is coupled with the built-in IPCP Pro 350 control processor for a complete, easy-to-operate AV control system.

Using powerful Extron software, Chris demonstrates the simple process for EDID assignment, input and output configuration, scaler setup, control system configuration, and audio DSP adjustment. Meanwhile, he highlights several essential capabilities of this matrix switcher, particularly Extron-exclusive Vector 4K scaling on the scaled DTP outputs, selectable seamless transition effects, and logo keying. In just minutes, everything is up and running, and Chris is able to demonstrate the system’s ease of operation, image quality, and audio performance.
