Introduction

About this Manual

This manual contains information about the DVI DL 201 Tx/Rx signal transmitter and receiver, with information on how to mount, install, and operate these units.

In this manual, unless otherwise specified, the terms "DVI DL 201" or "DVI DL 201 Tx/Rx" refer to both the transmitter (DVI DL 201 Tx) and the receiver (DVI DL 201 Rx). The term "transmitter" refers to the DVI DL 201 Tx, and "receiver" refers to the DVI DL 201 Rx.

About the DVI DL 201 Tx/Rx

The DVI DL 201 Tx and DVI DL 201 Rx are dual link DVI transmitter/receiver units. They can be purchased as a pair or as individual units.

Each purchased pair and each individual unit is shipped with a single external desktop 12 VDC power supply. A single power supply, connected to the transmitter, is able to power both devices.

Using three CAT 5/5e/6/7 twisted pair cables, DVI-D signals can be extended up to 100' (30 m) at resolutions up to 2560 x 1600 @ 60 Hz. This is significantly further than the 15' (5 m) specified for standard dual link DVI cables.

NThe DVI DL 201 Tx/Rx works with unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable or shielded twisted pair (STP) cable. However, STP cables are required to ensure FCC Class A and CE compliance.

DVI DL 201 Tx/Rx Features

Transmits dual link DVI-D signals over three CAT 5/5e/6/7 cables — Standard twisted pair cables provide an economical, easily installed cable solution.

Long distance transmission — Signals are transmitted up to 100' (30 m), which is significantly further than the 15' (5 m) specified for standard dual link DVI cables.

Local monitor output — The transmitter has a DVI-D output for connection to a local monitor.

DDC routing to local or remote display — A two pole switch allows the user to determine whether DDC signals are routed to the local or the remote display device.
