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 specied, 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 signicantly further than the 15' (5 m) specied for standard dual link DVI cables.

The 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 signicantly further than the 15' (5 m) specied 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.

EDID Minder — The EDID Minder maintains continuous EDID

(Extended Display Identication Data) communication with the attached source. This ensures that the DVI source powers up correctly and maintains a proper video output, even if the display is off.

Control communications pass-through — The DVI DL 201 passes through RS-232 (two way) or IR (one way) control signals, to a remote display.

Compact design — The transmitter is 1U high, a half rack wide and 3" deep, for easy rack mounting near the source device.

The receiver is 1" high, a quarter rack wide and 3" deep, allowing multiple mounting options near the display device.

Remote powering of receiver — A single power supply, connected to the transmitter, is able to power both the transmitter and receiver.

Rack mounting

UL guidelines for rack mounting

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines are relevant to the safe installation of the DVI DL 201 Tx/Rx in a rack:

1. Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the unit

is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, install the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma: +122 °F, +50 °C) specied by Extron.

2. Reduced air ﬂow — Install the equipment in the rack

so that the equipment gets adequate air ow for safe operation.

3. Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack

so that uneven mechanical loading does not create a hazardous condition.

4. Circuit overloading — Connect the equipment to

the supply circuit and consider the effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Give appropriate consideration to the equipment nameplate ratings when addressing this concern.

5. Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable

grounding of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (such as the use of power strips).

DDC switches

When the DVI-D source device boots up, it uses the Display Data Channel (DDC), a two-way communication protocol, to obtain Extended Display Identication Data (EDID) from the display device. This allows the source to output a resolution that matches the capabilities of the display.

A bank of three switches allows the user to determine how the source device will obtain the EDID. The EDID can be obtained directly from the display device, or from the internal memory within. The three switches are:

EDID Minder — This switch must be on for the EDID Minder function to be enabled. The factory default for this switch is the off position.

Default EDID — When the Default EDID switch is on (factory default; see gure at right), an EDID showing a typical Dual Link DVI display resolution of 2560x1600 @ 60 Hz is passed to the source device. The EDID Minder switch must also be on for the Default EDID switch to function.

Remote DDC — When this switch is off, the DDC is routed to the local monitor. When the switch is on, the DDC is routed to the remote display device.

See page 3-2 for more information about conguring these switches to provide the source device with the correct EDID.

Control pass-through

The DVI DL 201 Tx/Rx cannot be controlled by RS-232 or IR controls. However, they are able to pass signals from a control device to a remote device that is controlled by those signals.

Use the three-pole, 3.5 mm captive screw connector on the transmitter to input RS-232 or IR signals from a control device. Use the corresponding connector on the receiver to pass signals to the output display.

The RS-232 and IR

communications are via a passive pass-through only; the transmitter and receiver neither generate nor respond to these signals.

The ideal length of exposed wire in the stripping

process is 3/16" (5 mm). If longer than 3/16", the exposed wires may touch, causing a short circuit. If shorter than 3/16", the wires can be easily pulled out even if tightly fastened.

Using the EDID Minder to read and store EDID from a display

During boot up, the DVI-D source device uses Display Data Channel (DDC) to obtain Extended Display Identication Data (EDID) from the display device. This allows the output signal to match the resolution and refresh rate of the display device.

The DVI DL 201 Tx/Rx uses Extron's EDID Minder, which allows the user to store and use EDID from any display device. To use this feature, follow these steps:

1. Disconnect all devices and cables from the transmitter and

receiver.

2. Connect the desired display to the transmitter's Local

Monitor output. For best results, the cable for this connection should be 15' (4.5 m) or shorter.

3. Apply power to the transmitter and the display device. If

necessary, connect the power supply to the transmitter.

4. Set the EDID Minder switch on the transmitter

to the on (up) position (see the gure at right).

5. Set the Default EDID switch to the off (down)

position (see the gure at right).

Troubleshooting

If the DVI DL 201 Tx/Rx does not provide a high quality output signal, check the following possibilities before contacting your Extron representative (see the back cover for contact information). Be sure to read all the suggestions as many of the issues have several possible solutions.

No output signal — Check that the front panel LEDs for both the transmitter and receiver are on (lit amber). If they are not, check the power supply connections to the units.

If a single power supply is being used to power both units, it must be connected to the transmitter.

There are some circumstances, particularly with longer Unsheilded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable runs, where the receiver may not get adequate power. Under these circumstances, it may be necessary to use two separate power supplies, one for the transmitter and one for the receiver.

3-6

DVI DL 201 Tx/Rx • Conguration and Operation

Do not try to power both units with a single power

supply connected to the receiver as that will not provide adequate power to the transmitter.

Page 39

Insure all three twisted pair cables are rmly seated in the correct receptacles.

No output signal or poor quality signal — Check the integrity of the UTP or STP cables between the transmitter and the receiver.

Image loss or jitter — DVI signals run at very high frequency and are especially susceptible to bad video connections, too many adapters, or cables that are too long. To avoid loss of an image or introduction of image jitter:

No video signal or incorrect resolution or refresh rate — If the source device is not able to obtain EDID information when it is being powered on, it may not be able to send a video signal or the signal may have the wrong resolution or refresh rate.

Incorrect color or tint — Ensure that the twisted pair cables are terminated correctly and to the same standard on both ends of the cable (see page 2-14 and 2-15).

DVI DL 201 Tx/Rx • Conguration and Operation

The transmitter and receiver pair works with unshielded

twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables. To ensure FCC Class A and CE compliance, and for optimum performance, STP cables are recommended.

Ensure that the twisted pair cables are terminated correctly • and to the same standard at both ends (see "Terminating shielded cable" on page 2-14).

Ensure that each RJ-45 connector is rmly seated in its • receptacle and that each transmitter port is connected to the correct receiver port (see pages 2-14 and 2-15).

Ensure that the length of the twisted pair cable does • not exceed the guidelines for single link or dual link connections (see page 2-16).

The DVI cable on the input to the transmitter or the output • from the receiver should not exceed 10' (3 m).

Use only cable designed for DVI signals. • Limit or avoid the use of adapters, patch panels, or •

couplers with the input DVI cables, the output DVI cables, and/or the twisted pair cables. Additional links in the chain reduce signal integrity and overall cable length performance.

Always turn on the display before the DVI video source in • order for the source to retrieve the DDC from the display.

Ensure that the DDC DIP switches are set correctly for the • EDID source (see pages 3-2 to 3-5).

The source device must be powered on after the display • device providing the EDID source has been powered on.
