DESCRIPTION

The Extron DVI 104 Fiber Optic Extender is a transmitter and receiver set that provides an effective, economical solution for extending single link DVI-D signals significantly beyond the specified 5 meter (15 foot) limitation for standard DVI cables. Engineered for reliability and exceptional high resolution image performance, it uses all digital, zero compression technology to deliver perfect pixel-for-pixel transmission of computer-video images up to 1920x1200 resolution, including HDTV 1080p/60. The DVI 104 extends DVI-D signals over four multimode fiber optic cables at lengths up to 500 meters (1,640 feet).

The transmitter and receiver are housed in extremely compact DVI cable-type clamshell enclosures and connect to the fiber optic cables via industry standard LC-type connectors. The cables can be run through conduits and other tight spaces without the

DVI 104 transmitter and receiver attached, simplifying installation. Furthermore, the DVI 104 transmitter and receiver units connect directly to DVI sources and displays, so that no special mounting is necessary.

To ensure a reliable DVI connection, the DVI 104 features EDID Minder, which automatically manages EDID communication with the input source, so that the source powers up properly and reliably delivers content to the display.

The DVI 104 is ideal for a wide range of applications requiring long distance transmission of high resolution content with the highest quality. Because transmission of content is inherently secure and immune to outside interference, applications utilizing fiber optics are favored in many commercial, rental and staging, and medical environments.

DVI 104 specifications

The Extron DVI 104 is a robust distribution amplifier designed to manage and enhance the distribution of DVI (Digital Visual Interface) signals in professional audio-video environments. This device is particularly valuable in settings where high-quality video needs to be delivered to multiple displays with minimal signal degradation.

One of the primary features of the DVI 104 is its four-output capability, allowing a single DVI input to be distributed to four independent DVI outputs. This makes it ideal for use in applications such as control rooms, lecture halls, and conference centers, where a single source may need to be displayed on multiple screens. The DVI 104 supports video resolutions up to 1920x1200 at 60 Hz, ensuring that it can handle a wide range of video formats with exceptional clarity and detail.

The Extron DVI 104 utilizes advanced signal processing technologies to ensure that the video signals are transmitted without loss. The unit features a high-bandwidth design, which enables it to maintain signal integrity over long distances, making it suitable for larger installations. Moreover, with its ability to support DVI-D (digital-only) signals, the DVI 104 is optimized for digital video systems, eliminating the compatibility issues often encountered with analog formats.

Another significant characteristic of the DVI 104 is its built-in equalization. This feature automatically adjusts the signal strength to compensate for long cable runs, providing a reliable connection that minimizes the risks of flickering or signal dropouts. Additionally, the unit is designed with a compact form factor, allowing for easy integration into racks and AV systems without occupying excessive space.

Installation and operation are simplified with the DVI 104, thanks to its user-friendly design. The device includes status LEDs that provide real-time feedback on the signal and power status, making troubleshooting straightforward. It is also equipped with a sturdy metal enclosure, ensuring durability and longevity in demanding environments.

In conclusion, the Extron DVI 104 distribution amplifier is an essential tool for professionals needing a reliable solution for distributing high-quality DVI signals across multiple displays. With its combination of advanced technology, user-friendly features, and robust design, it ensures optimal performance in a variety of AV applications.
