Introduction • About this Manual • About the DVI 201 Transmitter and Receiver • Features About this Manual This manual describes the Extron® DVI 201 family of Digital Visual Interface (DVI™) Extenders, which consists of DVI 201 Tx transmitters and DVI 201 Rx receivers. This manual describes how to install, operate, and configure them.
There are two subsets of transmitters and receivers in two different enclosures or form factors: • DVI 201 Tx/Rx — These units are housed in quarter rack width metal enclosures. They can be set on a tabletop or mounted in a rack, under or through furniture, or to a projector pole. The transmitter in this form factor has a local monitor output. NOTE: The non-Decora models do not input, transmit, receive, or output audio.
TP Cable Advantages Twisted pair cable is much smaller, lighter, more flexible, and less expensive than coaxial or DVI cable. These transmitter and receiver twisted pair (TP) products make cable runs simpler and less cumbersome. Termination of the cable with RJ-45 connectors is simple, quick, and economical. NOTES: • The transmitter and receiver pair works with unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables; but, to ensure FCC Class A and CE compliance, STP cables are required.
Features Transmits single link DVI-D signals over two CAT 5/5e/6 cables — Standard twisted pair cables provide an economical, easily installed cable solution. Local monitor output (DVI 201 Tx [non-Decora] only) — The DVI 201 Tx transmitter features a DVI-D output for connection to a local monitor. Supports DDC and HDCP copy protection transmission — The Tx/Rx pair fully supports long distance transmission of the DDC and HDCP signals.
Installation and Operation This section describes the installation and the operation of the DVI 201, including: • Mounting the Transmitter or Receiver • Connections • Operation • Technical Points for Digital Video and Contend Protection Encryption • Troubleshooting • Application Examples Mounting the Transmitter or Receiver CAUTION: Installation and service must be performed by authorized personnel only.
UL guidelines for rack mounting The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the installation of a DVI 201 unit onto a rack. 1. Elevated operating ambient — If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consider installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature specified by the manufacturer [Tma = +32 to +122 °F (0 to +50 °C)]. 2.

Decora Unit Mounting The DVI 201 A D (Decora) transmitter and receiver can be installed in a one-gang electrical wall box with a Decora wall plate cover (supplied). The installation must conform to national and local electrical codes and to the size requirements of the wall plate. UL/safety guidelines The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the installation of the Decora transmitters and receivers into a wall or furniture. 1.
1. If a wall box is not available to use for a template, see the dimensions on page 35 to create a template. If installing directly into furniture, cut out the center portion of your template. 2. Place the wall box (or your template) against the installation surface, and mark the opening guidelines. 3. Cut out the material from the marked area. 4. Insert the wall box into the opening. The rear connectors on the box or wall plate should fit easily into the opening.
Final installation After testing and making any adjustments, do the following: 1. At the power outlet, unplug the power supply. NOTE: One power supply can power both the transmitter and the receiver, so only one unit needs a power supply. 2. Mount the transmitter or receiver into the wall box, and attach the supplied Decora faceplate to the unit, as shown in figure 12.
