Introduction

About this Manual

This manual contains information about the DVI DL 201 Tx/Rx
signal transmitter and receiver, with information on how to
mount, install, and operate these units.
In this manual, unless otherwise specified, the terms
"DVI DL 201" or "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' (30 m) at resolutions up to 2560 x
1600 @ 60 Hz. This is significantly further than the 15' (5 m)
specified for standard dual link DVI cables.

DVI DL 201 Tx/Rx Features

Transmits dual link DVI-D signals over three CAT 5/5e/6/7
cables — Standard twisted pair cables provide an economical,
easily installed cable solution.
Long distance transmission — Signals are transmitted up to
100' (30 m), which is significantly further than the 15' (5 m)
specified for standard dual link DVI cables.
Local monitor output — The transmitter has a DVI-D output for
connection to a local monitor.
DDC routing to local or remote display — A two pole switch
allows the user to determine whether DDC signals are routed to
the local or the remote display device.

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.
