NTI VOPEX SERIES DVI SPLITTER/EXTENDER
INTRODUCTION
The VOPEX® Series Cat5 DVI DVI Splitter/Extender (VOPEX) simultaneously distributes high resolution single link digital
DVI video from one video source to 4 displays, each located up to 300 feet away using a single CAT5e/6/6A/7 (CATx) cable.
Remote video and audio devices can be located as much as 300 feet away from the source via Category 5e/6/6A/7
unshielded or shielded (see chart on page 14) twisted-pair cable. The VOPEX can optionally supply video and audio to
devices located near the source.
Options:
VOPEX-C6DVIA-LA-4 Video/Audio Splitter/Extender with support local video and audio access
Note: If the audio support is not present, please disregard all audio references.
The VOPEX-C6DVI DVI Splitter/Extender via CATx will broadcast real-time information to multiple remote monitors
simultaneously. This high-resolution DVI video splitter (video port expander) is the ideal solution for any application requiring
the flexibility to share information with several locations. Optional audio functionality using self-pow ered stereo speakers
enhances your presentation.
Possible digital video and audio sources include a DVD player , cable television box, home entertainment system, etc..
Digital audio devices include a HDTV, Home Theater System, Digital Audio Receiver, or Digital Speaker set etc.. Some
stereo line-level audio source and devices include HDTV Speak ers, Home Theater or Stereo System, Stereo Amplifier,
Headphones, and Computer Speakers.
The VOPEX Series DVI Splitter/Extender is extremely simple to install and has been thoroughly tested to insure reliabl e
performance. Through the use of CATx unshielded twisted-pair cable it is possible to economically increase the flexibility of
a computer/home entertainment system. Here are some of the features and ways this can benefit the user:
• Allows the placement of monitors/HDTVs and self-powered stereo speakers/amplifiers in different remot e locations
where only these parts are needed.
• Video quality adjustment is automatic for varying lengths of CATx cable
• Digital transmission of audio signals reduces any loss in quality.
• Compatible with all NTI A/V switches and splitters, enabling the joining of products to create a system that satisfies
all networking needs.
• Broadcast real-time DVI video to multiple display locations.
• Supports HDTV resolutions to 1080p and computer resolutions to 1920x1080 and 1920x120 0.
• HDCP compliant.
• Supports the DDC2B protocol.
• Full IR control of DVI source from remote HDTV using existing source remote control.
• EDID learning for the support of any DVI display device.
• Supplies power to the remote units – no additional power supplies required.
• Optional audio can be broadcast to self-powered stereo speakers at each remote location and optionally to the local
unit.
• Available with optional local access support for local DVI display.
• Cascade multiple units for more numerous display configurations.
• Ideal for digital signage, tradeshows, or classrooms where high quality video on multiple monitors is nee ded.
