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 301 Tx/Rx does

not work properly with these cables.

Control Communications

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

Features

Transmits single link DVI signals over a singleCAT 5e, CAT 6, or CAT 6a cable —

Standard twisted pair cables provide an economical, easily installed cable solution.

Transmits analog audio signals over a separate, optional CAT 5e or CAT 6 cable — Standard twisted pair cables provide an economical, easily installed cable solution.

Long distance transmission — Up to 100 feet (330 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 CEC signal transmission with the appropriate DVI-to-HDMI adapters

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 (part number 70-775-01) — Included with the transmitter

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

DTP DVI 301 specifications

Extron Electronics is renowned for producing high-quality signal processing and distribution solutions, and the DTP DVI 301 stands out as a versatile and efficient tool for transporting DVI signals. This device is part of the DTP (Digital Twist Pair) series, designed to simplify AV system installations while maintaining signal integrity over long distances.

The DTP DVI 301 is equipped with key features that make it a preferred choice for both commercial and residential applications. One of its primary functionalities is its ability to extend DVI signal up to 300 feet (90 meters) over a single twisted pair cable. This capability ensures that high-resolution video signals can be transmitted without degradation, making it ideal for environments where distance between the source and display device is significant.

A standout characteristic of the DTP DVI 301 is its support for HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), which is crucial for ensuring compatibility with various digital content sources like Blu-ray players and streaming devices. This feature allows users to transmit protected content without interruption, thereby maintaining compliance with industry standards.

The unit supports resolutions up to 1920x1200 at 60Hz, allowing for sharp and clear images suitable for a range of applications from corporate presentations to home theaters. Furthermore, it includes an automatic input cable equalization feature, which compensates for signal loss that can occur over longer run times, ensuring robust signal integrity.

The DTP DVI 301 also incorporates Extron’s patented DTP technology, which intelligently manages the transmission of digital video, audio, and control signals through a single cable. This integrated solution reduces the complexity of installations while providing reliable performance.

Additionally, the device features a compact design suited for easy mounting in AV racks or discreet installation in conference rooms. It includes an LED status indicator that provides immediate feedback on power and signal availability, enhancing user experience during operation.

Ease of use is further emphasized with its simple plug-and-play setup, requiring minimal configuration, making it accessible even for users with limited technical expertise. The DTP DVI 301 is a durable, feature-rich solution that not only meets the demanding needs of modern AV systems but also simplifies installation processes, ultimately benefiting integrators and users alike.
