A

DVI input connector — Connect a DVI cable between this port

 

and the DVI output port of the digital video source. See "DVI

 

connector pin assignments," on page 2-22, for pin assignments.

B

Local output (DVI 201 Tx ([non-Decora] only) — If desired,

 

connect a DVI monitor for local monitoring of the input digital

 

image. See "DVI connector pin assignments," on page 2-22, for

 

pin assignments.

NIn a system where the local output is not used, ensure that you power up the end display first before the video source. Route the DDC to the remote end (see the

DDC Route DIP switch [item B, in "Operation", on page 2-29]).

C

Audio input (DVI 201 A D Tx [Decora] only) — Connect an

 

unbalanced stereo audio source to this 3.5 mm mini stereo jack

 

for unbalanced audio input. Figure 2-14 shows how to wire the

 

audio plug.

RS-232 connector — Connect a serial communications port to

 

this 3.5 mm, 3-pole captive screw connector for bidirectional

RS-232 communication. See "RS-232 connector wiring," on page 2-26, to wire the connector.

input connector on the receiver (item K on page 2-21). See

 

"Power supply wiring," on page 2-25, to wire the connector.

RJ-45 connectors.

 

 

Connect the free ends of the same TP cables from the transmitter

 

to the receiver’s Input RJ-45 female connectors (item Hon

 

 

page 2-20).

DVI 201 Tx, DVI 201 Rx specifications

Extron Electronics is known for its innovative solutions in the field of professional AV signal distribution and extension. Among its robust product lineup are the DVI 201 Rx and DVI 201 Tx devices, which are essential for transmitting and receiving digital video signals with exceptional performance and reliability.

The Extron DVI 201 Tx is a DVI transmitter that seamlessly converts DVI signals to a format suitable for long-distance transmission. It features a DVI connector for input and utilizes advanced technologies to ensure minimal signal degradation. The DVI 201 Tx supports high-resolution video up to 1920x1200 at 60 Hz, making it ideal for high-definition applications, including presentations, video conferencing, and digital signage.

On the receiving end, the DVI 201 Rx is designed to receive the transmitted DVI signals and convert them back into a format ready for display. This device also supports resolutions up to 1920x1200 at 60 Hz, ensuring that users can enjoy crystal-clear image quality without loss of detail. The DVI 201 Rx features a straightforward installation process, allowing for plug-and-play functionality that reduces setup time and complexity.

Both the DVI 201 Tx and DVI 201 Rx employ Extron’s patented technology for signal integrity, which includes the use of equalization and error correction to maintain the reliability of the transmitted signals over longer distances. This aspect is crucial for installations that may involve several hundred feet of cabling, where conventional methods could lead to signal loss or corruption.

One of the key characteristics of both the DVI 201 Tx and DVI 201 Rx is their compatibility with a wide range of DVI-enabled devices. This versatility is particularly beneficial in diverse installation environments, such as corporate offices, classrooms, and control rooms, where different types of hardware may be in use.

Furthermore, both devices are designed with a compact form factor, allowing for easy placement in various setups, whether they are rack-mounted or positioned directly next to display devices. The robust construction and durable components ensure longevity and consistent performance over time, meeting the demands of professionals in the AV industry.

In summary, the Extron DVI 201 Rx and DVI 201 Tx are streamlined solutions for digital video signal transmission, showcasing innovative technology, high resolution support, and dependable performance, making them the preferred choice for AV professionals seeking quality and reliability.
