Setup Guide Instruction Manual
Setup Guide — DVI DL 201 Tx/Rx
W
 These instructions provide a quick setup guide for experienced installers. Installation 
and service must be performed by authorized personnel only.
N
  The DVI DL 201 Tx/Rx works with unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable or shielded twisted 
pair (STP) cable. STP cables are required to ensure FCC Class A and CE compliance.
C
  Always use a power 
supply specified by 
Extron for this unit. 
Use of an unauthorized 
power supply voids all 
regulatory compliance 
certification and 
may cause damage 
to the supply and the 
transmitter or receiver.
N
  One power supply is provided 
when the transmitter and 
receiver are purchased 
together. A power supply is 
not provided when either unit 
is purchased separately.
Step 1
Turn off all equipment or disconnect 
it from power sources. Mount the 
transmitter and receiver as desired. 
Follow the instructions included with the 
appropriate mounting kit.
Step 2
Use the three port captive screw 
connections to transmit pass-through 
RS-232 and IR signals from a control 
device to a remote device. RS-232 signals 
are bidirectional and use three wires 
(see diagram A. at right). IR signals are 
unidirectional and use two wires (see 
diagram B. at right). In each case the 
control device is wired to the transmitter in 
exactly the same way as the remote device 
is wired to the the receiver.
The Extron
®
 DVI DL 201 Tx and DVI DL 201 Rx are dual 
link DVI transmitter (Tx) or receiver (Rx) units. Using 
three CAT 5/5e/6/7 twisted pair cables, DVI-D signals 
can be extended up to 100 feet (30 m) at resolutions up to 
2560x1600 @ 60 Hz. They can be purchased as a pair or as 
individual units.

Step 3
Determine how the source device will obtain the EDID information and perform 
one of the following procedures:
Option 1 — To capture the EDID of a desired display and store it in the EDID 
Minder for future use:
a.  Connect the display to the local monitor output of the transmitter.
b.  Power on the transmitter and the local monitor.
c.  Configure the DDC switches as shown in the figure at right.
