Extron Electronics DVI 201xi Tx User Guide - Manual (Page 7)

Introduction
This guide contains information about the function, installation, and operation of the
Extron
® DVI 201xi Tx DVI transmitter. The guide also provides information about optional
accessories that are available from Extron for the transmitter.
In this manual, unless otherwise specified, the term transmitter and DVI 201xi Tx are used
interchangeably.
About the DVI 201xi Tx
The DVI 201xi Tx transmits single link DVI-D (1024x768 or 720p/1080i @ 60 Hz up to
200 feet or 1920x1200 or 1080p @ 60 Hz up to 100 feet) and pass-through control signals
up to 200 feet (60 m) over two CAT 5, 5e, or 6 twisted pair cables or Extron DTP26 cables.
It is compatible with all Extron single link HDMI and DVI receivers:
z z DVI 201 Rx
z z HDMI 201 Rx
z z DVI 201 A D Rx
z z HDMI 201 A D Rx
The transmitter can also be used with appropriate dual link receivers (for example the
DVI DL 201 Rx), if they are used in single link mode.
The transmitter ships with an external desktop 12 VDC power supply. The receivers listed
above have remote power capability and a power supply that is connected to the transmitter
can power the transmitter directly and the receiver remotely, over the twisted pair cables.
NOTE: The DVI 201xi Tx works with unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable or shielded
twisted pair (STP) cable. However, STP cables are required to ensure FCC Class A
and CE compliance.

Extron DTP26 cables — Standard twisted pair cables provide an economical, easily installed
cable solution.
Long distance transmission — Transmits single link DVI-D signals with a resolution of
1024x768 or 720p/1080i @ 60 Hz up to 200 feet, signals with a resolution of 1920x1200 or
1080p @ 60 Hz up to 100 feet, or pass-through control signals up to 200 feet (60 m).
Local monitor output — The transmitter has a DVI-D output for connection to a local
monitor.
DDC routing to local or remote display — A two pole switch allows the user to
determine whether DDC signals are routed to the local or the remote display device.
