NTI XTENDEX DVI Video Extender
INTRODUCTION
The XTENDEX Series CAT5 DVI Video Extender (XTENDEX) is designed to enable the video output from one digital video
source to be viewed by two users, one local and one remote. The remote monitor can be located as much as 150 feet away
from a CPU via Category 5/5e/ or 6 (CAT5) twisted-pair cable. The local us er monitor will be located near the video source CPU.
The XTENDEX Series Extender is extremely simple to install and has been thoroughly tested to insure reliable performance.
Through the use of CAT5 cable it is possible to economically increase the flexibility of a co mputer system. Here are some of the
features and ways this can benefit any workplace:
• Allows the placement of a DVI-ena bled monitor in a location where only these parts are needed without having the video
source there too, taking up valuable space
• Allows DVI video to be viewed by both a local and remote user (up to 150 feet away)
• Provides crisp and clear resolution up to 1920 x 1200 @ 100 feet (see page 7 for more details)
• Video quality, for varying lengths of cable, is automatically adjustable providing optimum image quality
• Transmits single link DVI-D signal over two CAT5 cables.
• Built-in surge protection.
• Only one power supply is necessary to power both the Local and Remote units.
• Supports local and remote DVI monitors.
• Compatible with DDWG DVI standard.
• HDCP Complia nt
• Supports the DDC2B protocol.
