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.

About the DVI 201 Transmitter and Receiver

The Extron DVI 201 Tx/Rx is a family of DVI transmitters and receivers (ﬁgure 1), in enclosures that support different mounting options. A transmitter and receiver pair extends the usable distance of DVI or HDMI digital video and RS-232 control signals over two Category (CAT) 5/5e/6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables. Extron DTP26 digital cable is also recommended. The DVI 201 A D transmitter and receiver also route audio, but not on the TP link. The video and control (and audio, if applicable) signals can be transmitted up to 200 feet (60 m).

Figure 1. Typical Transmitter and Receiver Application

A DVI 201 system consists of a transmitter (Tx) and a receiver (Rx). The pair can handle a single link of DVI-D digital video and a bidirectional RS-232 link. The DVI 201 A D also converts a computer audio input into balanced or unbalanced stereo audio output.

DVI 201 • Introduction 1

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.

• DVI 201 A D Tx/Rx — These units are housed in enclosures that can be mounted

in UL standard wall boxes with Decora®-style face plates. These units also convert computer level audio to balanced or unbalanced stereo audio.

NOTES: • A non-Decora transmitter or receiver is partially compatible with a

Decora receiver or transmitter.

• A mixed form factor system can transmit and receive video and RS-232 communications.

• A mixed form factor system cannot transmit and receive audio, as the non-Decora models do not input, transmit, receive, or output audio.

The units can be purchased as a pair (of the same form factor) or individually. Each purchased pair and each individual transmitter is shipped with a single external desktop 12 VDC power supply that accepts 100 to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz input. A single power supply connected to either the transmitter or the receiver can power both units through one of the TP cables that link the units.

NOTE: In this manual, the terms “DVI 201,” “DVI 201 Tx,” “DVI 201 Rx,”

“transmitter,” and “receiver” refer to the applicable unit in either form factor, unless otherwise speciﬁed.

DVI 201 • Introduction 2

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

• Do not use Extron UTP23SF-4 Enhanced Skew-Free™ A/V UTP cable to

Control Communications

The RS-232 or infrared (IR) communications are pass-through only; the transmitter and receiver do not generate or respond to these signals.

Transmission Distance

The maximum transmission distance is determined by the resolution of the signal and the TP cable that is used.

• With CAT 5/5e/6 UTP cable, the Tx/Rx pair can transmit and receive 720p and

1080i HDTV or XGA video signals up to 200 feet (60 m) and 1080p HDTV or UXGA video up to 100 feet (30 m).

• With CAT 5/5e/6 STP cable, the Tx/Rx pair can transmit and receive 720p and

1080i HDTV or XGA video signals up to 200 feet (60 m) and 1080p HDTV or UXGA video up to 125 feet (38 m).

(UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables; but, to ensure FCC Class A and CE compliance, STP cables are required.

link the transmitter and receiver. Skew-free A/V cable was designed for most Extron TP transmitter/receiver applications, but the DVI 201 Tx/Rx does not work properly with this cable.

NOTES: • The transmission distance varies greatly, depending on the signal

• For resolutions of 1600x1200, 1920x1200, and 1080p, Extron strongly

resolution, type of cable used, graphics card, and display used in the system.

recommends DTP26 cable, or equivalent. Extron DTP26 cable consists of four individually shielded copper pairs and an overall braided shield that help reduce crosstalk. DTP26 cable extends these resolutions up to 150 feet (45 m).

DVI 201 • Introduction 3

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.

Control communications pass-through — Bidirectional RS-232 or IR control signals can be transmitted alongside the DVI signal, so that the remote display can be controlled without the need for additional cabling.

Audio routing — The DVI 201 A D Tx/Rx also routes unbalanced stereo audio when both units are the Decora form factor.

Supports CEC signal transmission

1-inch high, quarter rack width, metal enclosures (DVI 201 Tx and DVI 201 Rx [non-Decora] only)— With low proﬁle enclosures, both transmitter models and both

receiver models can be discreetly installed in locations such as behind a plasma or LCD ﬂat-panel display.

Wall-mountable enclosures (DVI 201 A D Tx and DVI 201 A D Rx [Decora] only)

External 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, international power supply (part #70-055-01) — Included with units sold as a paired system and with transmitters

Remote powering of transmitter or receiver — Only one power supply is necessary to

power both devices.

UL guidelines for rack mounting

(2) 4-40 x 3/16" Screws

Use 2 mounting holes on opposite corners.

Rack Shelf

1/4 Rack Width Front False Faceplate

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. Reduced air ﬂow — Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the

amount of air ﬂow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

3. Mechanical loading — Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a

hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

4. Circuit overloading — Consideration should be given to the connection of the

equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

5. Reliable earthing (grounding) — Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment

should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (such as the use of power strips).

Rack shelf mounting instructions

On the 6-inch and 9.5-inch rack shelves, the transmitter or receiver unit can be mounted in the front or the rear of the rack.

10. Secure the front and rear plates to the mounting tray with four of the included #6

screws.

11. If desired, choose one of the provided four sizes of self-adhesive cover sheets, and

apply it to the underside of the mounting tray.

DVI 201 • Installation and Operation 12

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. These units are not to be connected to a centralized DC power source or used beyond

their rated voltage range.

2. These units must be installed in UL listed junction boxes.

3. These units must be installed with conduit in accordance with National Electrical Code.

Preparing the site and installing the wall box

Choose a location that allows cable runs without interference. Allow enough depth for both the wall box and the cables. The box should be at least 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) deep to accommodate the connectors and cables. Install the cables into the wall, furniture, or conduits before installing the wall plate.

NOTE: The Decora units are very deep and have connectors on the back side

(ﬁgure 10). Extron recommends its 1-gang or 2-gang junction boxes (part #s 980130 and 980084), which have a depth of 2.5 inches (6.4 cm).

To install a new wall box, perform steps 1 through 9 on the next page. If a suitable wall box is already installed, perform steps 6 through 9 on the next page. UL listed wall boxes are recommended.

DVI 201 • Installation and Operation 13

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. Enlarge or smooth the edges of the opening if needed.

5. Secure the wall box with nails or screws, leaving the front edge ﬂush with the outer

wall or furniture surface (ﬁgure 11).

NOTE: If attaching the wall box to wood, use four #8 or #10 screws or 10-penny

nails. A minimum of 0.5 inch (1.3 cm) of screw thread must penetrate the wood.

If attaching the wall box to metal studs or furniture, use four #8 or #10

self-tapping sheet metal screws or machine bolts with matching nuts.

6. Feed the TP cables and, if applicable, the audio and power cables through the

opening and through the wall box punch-out holes, securing them with cable clamps to provide strain relief.

NOTES: • In order to ﬁt in the junction box, the TP cables and RJ-45 connectors

should not have a boot installed.

• One power supply can power both the transmitter and the receiver, so only one unit needs a power supply.

7. Trim back and/or insulate exposed cable shields with heat shrink to reduce the chance

of short circuits. To prevent short circuits, the outer foil shield can be cut back to the point where the

cable exits the cable clamp.

8. Connect the cables to the rear of the unit. See Connections, later in this manual, for

connector wiring details.

9. Connect front panel devices (see Connections, later in this manual, for connector

details), restore the power supply, and test the transmitter/receiver system. Make any cabling adjustments before ﬁnal installation, as the cables will be inaccessible afterwards.

DVI 201 • Installation and Operation 14

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.

Figure 21 details the recommended termination of TP cables with RJ-45 connectors in accordance with either the TIA/EIA T 568A or the TIA/EIA T 568B wiring standard.

Figure 21. TP Cable Termination

NOTES: • RJ-45 termination with CAT 5, CAT 5e, CAT 6, or DTP26 cable must

comply with the TIA/EIA T 568A or TIA/EIA T 568B wiring standard for all connections.

• Extron recommends 28AWG to 24AWG TP cable for the RJ-45 connectors.

• Do not use Extron UTP23SF-4 Enhanced Skew-Free™ A/V UTP cable to link the transmitter and receiver. Skew-free A/V cable was designed for most Extron TP transmitter/receiver applications, but the DVI 201 Tx/Rx does not work properly with this cable.

• In order to ﬁt in the junction box, the TP cables and RJ-45 connectors should not have a boot installed.

• Connect transmitter output 1 to receiver input 1. Connect transmitter output 2 to receiver input 2.

• If necessary, test for proper cable connection (output 1 to input 1, output 2 to input 2) as follows:

. Plug both TP cables into the powered unit.

2. Momentarily connect either of the cables on the opposite end into the

“2” connector on the unpowered unit. If the Power LED on the unpowered unit is lit, the connection is correct. If the Power LED on the unpowered unit is not lit, unplug the connector

on the unpowered end and connect the other cable to the “2”

connector.

• 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. See Terminating shielded cable.

DVI 201 • Installation and Operation 22

Terminating shielded cable

Peel back shield and fold back.

Aluminum Tape

Wrap tape around folded foil shielding. Slightly overlap. Cut and save the excess tape

for other connectors.

Crimped Connector

The Tx and Rx each include two shielded RJ-45 connectors and a length of self-adhesive shielded tape that you can use to make the STP cables that connect the transmitter and receiver.

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.

• Extron supplies the connectors and the shielded tape. You must supply the CAT 5, 5e, 6, or DTP26 cable.

Terminate the STP cable as follows:

1. Peel back the cable shielding (ﬁgure 22) from the end of the cable the length of the

RJ-45 connector body (approximately 7/8 inch [2.2 cm]) and fold it back.

Figure 22. Peeling Back the Cable Shielding

2. Cut away and discard the clear cellophane inner wrapper from the end of the cable

back to the folded-over cable shielding.

3. Peel the backing off the self-adhesive shielded aluminum tape and wrap it around

the folded-over cable shielding, slightly overlapping the beginning of the tape (ﬁgure 23).

Figure 23. Wrapping the Shielded Tape

4. Cut the unused portion of the shielded tape and retain for shielding other RJ-45

connectors.

5. Feed each individual wire into the appropriate slot of the RJ-45 connector and crimp

the cable in the normal manner, folding the tangs at the end of the connector over the shielded tape (ﬁgure 24).

• A power supply is also included with each individually-packaged transmitter.

Figure 25 shows how to wire the connector. Snap the provided ferrite bead onto the DC power cable, between the power supply and the connector on the DVI unit. For non- Decora units only, use the supplied tie-wrap to strap the power cord to the extended tail of the connector.

Figure 25. Power Connector Wiring

CAUTION: Always use a power supply supplied and or speciﬁed by Extron. Use of an

unauthorized power supply voids all regulatory compliance certiﬁcation and may cause damage to the supply and the end product. Unless otherwise stated, the AC/DC adapters are not suitable for use in air handling spaces or in wall cavities. The installation must always be in accordance with the applicable provisions of National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, article 75 and the Canadian Electrical Code part 1, section 16. The power supply shall not be permanently ﬁxed to building structure or similar structure.

CAUTION: Power supply voltage polarity is critical. Incorrect voltage polarity can

damage the power supply and the unit. The ridges on the side of the cord (ﬁgure 25) identify the power cord negative lead.

To verify the polarity before connection, plug in the power supply with no load and check the output with a voltmeter.

WARNING: The two power cord wires must be kept separate while the power supply

is plugged in. Remove power before wiring.

CAUTION: The length of the exposed (stripped) copper wires is important. The

ideal length is 3/16 inch (5 mm). Longer bare wires can short together.

Shorter wires are not as secure in the connectors and could be pulled out.

NOTE: Do not tin the power supply leads before installing them in the direct insertion

connector. Tinned wires are not as secure in the connectors and could be pulled out.

Technical Points for Digital Video and Content Protection Encryption

• Digital Visual Interface (DVI) is a digital video format that was created by the

computer industry in 1999.

• High Deﬁnition Multimedia Interface (HDMI®) is a multimedia format that was

created by the consumer video industry in 2003.

о The HDMI format is built onto the DVI format, adding digital audio and control

while reducing the size of the connector.

о The HDMI format is likely to replace the DVI format in the near future. о With passive adapters, the HDMI format is backward compatible with the DVI

format.

• With Extron adapters, cables, or both, the DVI 201 fully supports either format,

regardless of the connector type on the video source and display. See Reference

Information for part numbers.

• High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is an encryption method that

protects copyrighted digital entertainment material that uses DVI video.

о HDCP is generated by video player hardware, enabled by the video content. о The HDCP key is transmitted with the Display Data Channel (DDC). о The DDC signal line was designed for the low data rate of the DDC; the HDCP key

rate is much higher.

• Without active buffering, an HDCP key signal can travel only a short distance. The

display may properly receive the digital video signal, but not the HDCP key. Without the key, the display cannot decrypt the video signal. Symptoms of undecrypted video may include a ﬂashing black or blue screen or “snow”.

• With active buffering, an HDCP key signal can travel as far as other signals to

ensure proper decryption.

• The DVI 201 actively buffers the HDCP key.

Troubleshooting

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

• The DVI cable on the input to the transmitter or the output of the receiver should not

exceed 10 feet (3 m).

• Use only cable designed for DVI signals.

• Limit or avoid the use of adapters or patch points between the transmitter and receiver.

• If the display exhibits a ﬂashing black or blue screen, snow, or other distortion, a non-

HDCP compliant display may be receiving an HDCP-encrypted signal. Check for an HDCP problem by ejecting the DVD from the player. If the display

distortion stops and the DVD menu or screen saver image is clear, the problem is HDCP-related.

• If image artifacts are present, the TP cable may be the cause. Extron recommends

DTP26 cable.

• The DVI 201 works as described in point-to-point applications. Do not use any

additional adapters, patch panels, or couplers with the input DVI cables, output DVI cables, and twisted pair cables. Additional links in the signal chain can result in the reduction of signal integrity and overall cable length performance.
