Multimedia Distribution
Multi DVI Extenders over Fibre or CATx
Distance, control, and flexibility—these DVI extenders are perfect for video/audio/serial applications of any size.
• Flexible distribution and configuration—fit almost all network footprints.
• Virtually unlimited extension capabilities in a daisychain configuration.
• Pollable RS-232 models enable management of groups and single units.
• Go the distance—6.2 miles (10 km) over fibre or 600 feet (182.8 m) over copper.
• Carry nearly all video formats over fibre or copper lines.
• Simple to install, configure, and use.
• Proprietary algorithms provide strong security over fibre and copper connections.
• Durable design is ideal for harsh environments such as factories, shops, and other in-
dustrial settings.
Digital Visual Interface (DVI) connectors.
Black Box Explains
The Digital Visual Interface (DVI) standard
is based on transition-minimised differential
signaling (TMDS). In a typical single-line
digital signal, voltage is raised to a high level
and decreased to a low level to create
transitions that convey data. To minimise the
number of transitions needed to transfer
data, TMDS uses a pair of signal wires. When
one wire goes to a high-voltage state, the
other goes to a low-voltage state. This
balance increases the data-transfer rate and
improves accuracy.
There are four types of DVI connectors:
DVI-D, DVI-I, DFP, and EVC.
DVI-D is a digital-only connector. DVI-I
supports both digital and analogue RGB
connections. Some manufacturers of video
displays and graphics accelerators are offering
the DVI-I connector type on their products
instead of separate analogue and digital
connectors. DFP, like DVI-D, was an early
digital-only connector used on some displays;
it’s being phased out. EVC (also known as
P&D) is similar to DVI-I, only it’s slightly larger
in size. It also handles digital and analogue
connections, and it’s used primarily on
projectors.
If you’re looking for an efficient,
manageable way to extend high-resolution DVI
signals and stereo audio over copper or fibre,
you’ve found it with Black Box’s Multi DVI
Extenders over Fibre or CATx. These units
provide distance, control, and flexibility—an
excellent choice for a variety of video and audio
broadcast applications.
Distance
Use fibre for long-haul applications—as far
as 6.2 miles (10 km) over single-mode fibre—or
use copper for short to medium distances—
500 feet (152.4 m) over CAT5/5e and up to 600
feet (182.8 m) over CAT6. Best of all, if you’re
using the daisychainable models, the distance
limitations for video, stereo audio, and serial
