This DigitaLinx™ Digital Media Converter is an externally powered digital HDMI and DVI
Media Converter system to send HDMI and DVI over standard Category Cable, unshielded or
shielded. The unit uses an included 5 VDC power source. The device is compliant with DVI
1.0 and supports HDMI 1.3 signals. The device is fully compliant with HDCP protocol. This
device is certied HDMI 1.3b Category 1 through an Authorized Testing Center (ATC).
This Digital Media Converter is ideal for installations where pre-wire has been done with
multiple category cables or where space constraints limit installing HDMI® or DVI cables.
The Category cable solution is also excellent for retrot applications. The compact design
allows the devices to be unobtrusive in the nal installation. It is recommended to test
an application using the customer equipment as the signal from the source device varies
between manufacturers.
The system can easily accommodate DVI only inputs and outputs by using Liberty’s high
quality HDMI to DVI interconnects. The DVI connector is routed to the sources and display
unit while the HDMI connector plugs into the DigitaLinx™ Digital Media Converter. The
digital audio signal is not transmitted when using DVI connectors.
The actual transmission distance can vary depending on many factors. Liberty Wire and
Cable has performed application testing and found these devices can eectively operate in
excess of the distances listed. The quality of the Category cable is a prime factor in limiting
distances. Use of Category 6 cable will extend distances and use of overall shielded category
cables will reduce EMI issues. This is a practical application chart with actual observed
distances and performance in a real application.
User results will vary based upon the quality of the Category Cabling, the installation practices used, and the
features of the sources and displays. It is recommended the Category cable be properly tested to verify Gigabit
Ethernet capability. This will identify any issues caused during installation and termination.
