Introduction

This user guide contains information about the Extron® DVI DL 201 Tx/Rx signal transmitter and receiver, with information on how to mount, install, and operate these units.

In this guide, unless otherwise speciﬁed, the terms “DVI DL 201” and “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 feet (30 m) at resolutions up to 2560x1600 @ 60 Hz. This is signiﬁcantly further than the 15 feet (5 m) speciﬁed for standard dual link DVI cables.

NOTES: 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.

Do not use skew-free cable. Extron strongly recommends DTP26 cable, especially when using high resolutions such as 1920x1200, 1600x1200, or 2560x1600. DTP26 cable is available as non-plenum (part number 22-214-03) or plenum (part number 22-215-03).

NOTE: The transmission distance varies greatly depending on signal resolution and on

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

To operate in dual link mode, all three TP cables are required and both the source and display devices must support dual link DVI signals.

To operate in single link mode, only TP cables 1 and 2 are required. Dual link DVI is backwards compatible with single link DVI.

The DVI/HDMI 201 (single link) receivers can be used with the DVI DL 201 transmitter, in single link mode (using only TP cables 1 and 2).

DVI DL 201 Tx/Rx • Panels and Cabling 9

DDC Switches

When the DVI-D source device boots up, it uses the Display Data Channel (DDC), a twoway communication protocol, to obtain Extended Display Identiﬁcation 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 ﬁgure 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 13 for more information about conﬁguring 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.

Conﬁguration

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 Identiﬁcation 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 the Extron 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 Local Monitor output of the transmitter. For best

results, the cable for this connection should be 15 feet (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 ﬁgure at right).

5. Set the Default EDID switch to the off (down) position (see the ﬁgure at

right).

6. Set the Remote DDC to the off (down) position to allow DDC routing to

go to the local monitor (see the ﬁgure 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 Unshielded 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.

Insure all three twisted pair cables are ﬁrmly 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.

NOTE: 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.

NOTES: 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.

z Ensure that the twisted pair cables are terminated correctly and to the same standard

at both ends (see “Terminating shielded cable”).

z Ensure that each RJ-45 connector is ﬁrmly seated in its receptacle and that each

transmitter port is connected to the correct receiver port (see “Connections”).

z Ensure that the length of the twisted pair cable does not exceed the guidelines for

single link or dual link connections (see “Single link/dual link DVI“).

DVI DL 201 Tx/Rx • Conguration and Operation 17

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:

z The DVI cable on the input to the transmitter or the output from the receiver should

not exceed 10 feet (3 m).

z Use only cable designed for DVI signals.

z 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.

z Always turn on the display before the DVI video source in order for the source to

retrieve the DDC from the display.

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.

z Ensure that the DDC DIP switches are set correctly for the EDID source (see

“Conguration”).

z The source device must be powered on after the display device providing the EDID

source has been powered on.

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 “Terminating Shielded Cable“).

Display device shows a ashing black or blue screen, snow, or other distortion — A device that is not High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) compliant may be receiving HDCP-encrypted signals.

The DVI DL 201 Tx/Rx is compatible with HDCP signals only when the EDID Minder is disabled. HDCP signals can be passed through to only one display (remote or local) and only that display shows the signal correctly.

Signal on local monitor but not on remote display — Check that both output devices (local and remote) can handle resolutions equal to or greater than the EDID source.

UL Guidelines for Rack Mounting

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines are relevant to the safe installation of these products 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) speciﬁed by Extron.

2. Reduced air ow — Install the equipment in the rack so that the equipment gets

adequate air ﬂow 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. Appropriate consideration of the equipment nameplate ratings should be used 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).
