The transmitter is shipped with a single external desktop 12 VDC power supply that accepts 100 to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz input. A single power supply connected to either the transmitter or the receiver can power both units through the TP cable that carries DVI video.

TP Cable Advantages

Twisted pair cable is much smaller, lighter, more flexible, and less expensive than coaxial or DVI cable. These transmitter and receiver twisted pair (TP) products make cable runs simpler and less cumbersome. Termination of the cable with RJ-45 connectors is simple, quick, and economical.

NOTE: Do not use Extron UTP23SF-4 Enhanced Skew-Free AV UTP cable or STP201 cable to link the transmitter and receiver. The DTP DVI 230 Tx/Rx does not work properly with these cables.

Control Communications

The RS-232 and IR communications are a passive pass-through only. The transmitter and receiver do not generate or respond to the RS-232 and IR communication signals.

Features

Transmits single link DVI signals over a single STP or UTP cable — Standard twisted pair cables provide an economical, easily installed cable solution.

Long distance transmission — Extends video, audio, and control signals up to 230 feet (70 m).

Supports Display Data Channel (DDC) transmission — The transmitter and receiver pair fully supports long distance transmission of the DDC signals.

Control communications pass-through— Bidirectional RS-232 and IR control signals can be transmitted alongside the DVI signal, so that the remote display can be controlled without the need for additional cabling.

Supports Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) signal transmission

1-inch high, quarter rack width, metal enclosures — With low profile enclosures, the transmitter and receiver can be discreetly installed in locations such as behind a plasma or LCD flat-panel display.

External 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, international power supply — One power supply is included with the transmitter.

Remote powering of transmitter or receiver — Only one power supply is normally necessary to power both devices.
