page 10. Compatible optional hardware is listed on the Extron website (www.extron.com).

ATTENTION:

Installation and service must be performed by authorized personnel only.

Avoid ground potential differences between the transmitter and receiver installation sites, which can lead to equipment damage or a missing or unstable picture. If a potential difference cannot be avoided, remove the ground connection between the units and locally power both units (see Disconnecting the Ground on page 11). In this configuration, the DTP DVI 230 cannot extend analog audio and each unit requires a local power supply.
