About this Manual

This manual contains information about the Extron DVI DL 101 Dual Link Cable Equalizer and describes how to connect

and operate it. The terms "DVI DL" and "equalizer" are used interchangeably throughout this manual to refer to the product.

About the DVI DL 101 Cable Equalizer

The Extron DVI DL 101 is a dual link cable equalizer that extends Digital Visual Interface (DVI) signals beyond the specified cable limits of 15' (5 m). The DVI DL attaches to the end of a long cable run of up to 275' (84 m) for dual link and up to 200' (61 m) for single link.

Placed just before the display in the cable run, it automatically equalizes and drives the signal, eliminating any noise or dropouts, to ensure optimal image quality. It supports all dual link DVI signals up to 330 MHz, including 2560x1600 @ 60 Hz. Also, because dual link is backwards compatible with single link, all single link rates up to 165 MHz, including 1920x1200 and 1080p @ 60 Hz, are also supported.

The DVI DL passes Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) information and supports the long distance transmission of HDTV signals with High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) for copy protection of digital television broadcasts and high resolution digital video output from DVD, HD DVD, and Blu-ray Disc players. DDC lines are passed through with the option of active buffering to ensure compatibility among various source and display configurations.

With the appropriate adapters from Extron, the DVI DL is fully compatible with the HDMI digital video, audio, and control standard for audio/video products.

Features

•Power/Signal status indicator — The LED on the front panel lights amber to indicate that power is connected. When a source signal is present, this LED lights green.

•Optional buffering of DDC/HDCP lines — DDC/HDCP clock and data lines can be actively buffered or passed straight through to the output.

•Enclosure — Compact 1" (2.5 cm) high, ¼ rack wide metal enclosure

•DVI input — One DVI-I female connector accepts a DVI-D input signal and supports dual link rates of up to 330 MHz, as well as all single link rates up to 165 MHz.

The maximum length for input cables is 200' (50.8 m) for the highest rates (330 MHz for dual link; 135 MHz for single link).

•DVI output — One female DVI-I connector supports DVI-D output.

The acceptable output cable length is 16.4' (5 m).

NDual link DVI cables must be used for dual link DVI signals. With a single link DVI cable, only single-link signals are possible.

•Rack and furniture mounting — The equalizer can be mounted on a rack shelf, or under or through a desk or podium.

•Power supply — An external international power supply with a two-pin captive screw connector accepts 100 to 240 VAC.
