About this Guide

This guide describes the Extron DTP DVI 230 Long Distance Digital Visual Interface (DVI) Twisted Pair Extender, which consists of a DTP DVI 230 Tx transmitter and a DTP DVI 230 Rx receiver. This guide describes how to install, operate, and configure the transmitter and receiver.

About the DTP DVI 230 Tx/Rx Transmitter and Receiver

The Extron DTP DVI 230 Tx/Rx transmitter and receiver pair (see figure 1) extends the usable distance of DVI digital video, optional analog audio, and bidirectional RS-232 and infrared (IR) control signals over one Extron XTP DTP 24 shielded twisted pair (STP) cable (recommended) or Category (CAT) 5e, CAT 6, or CAT 6a STP or unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. The DTP DVI 230 can also extend HDMI video, which may include embedded audio, with the appropriate adapters. The video, audio, and control signals can be transmitted up to 230 feet (70 m).
