Paired Set
The DDTX and DDRX are a paired set, sharing a
common serial number. Each half is specifically tailored to
work with the other. Ensure that identically serial-
numbered halves are kept together and are not intermixed
with units from different sets. Units from different sets
are not guaranteed to work together.
When returning a DDTX or DDRX to Extron for service,
ensure that the identically serial-numbered paired half is
also returned.

Operation
After the transmitter, the receiver, and their connected devices are
powered up, the system is fully operational. If any problems are
encountered, ensure all cables are routed and connected properly.
Transmission distance is limited. The distance between
the transmitter and receiver can be up to 150’ if using
Extron High Resolution cable, or up to 330’ with Super
High Resolution cable.
Ensure that the computer and local monitor are properly
connected to the DDTX/DDRX pair, and that the DDTX,
the DDRX, and the monitor have power applied before
power is applied to the computer. If all other devices are
not turned on before the computer is powered on, the
image will not appear.
