About the HDMI 201 Tx/Rx
The Extron HDMI 201 Tx/Rx is a family of HDMI transmitters
and receivers, in enclosures that support different mounting
options. A transmitter and receiver pair extends the usable
distance of DVI or HDMI digital video and RS-232 control
signals over two Category (CAT) 5/5e/6/7 unshielded
twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables. The
HDMI 201 A D transmitter and receiver also route audio. The
video and control (and audio, if applicable) signals can be
transmitted up to 200' (60 m).

There are two subsets of transmitters and receivers in two
different enclosures or form factors:
•
HDMI 201 Tx/Rx — These units are housed in quarter
rack width metal enclosures. They can be set on a
tabletop or mounted in a rack, under or through furniture,
or to a projector pole. The transmitter in this form factor
has a local monitor output.
N
The non-Decora models do not input, transmit, receive,
or output audio.
•
HDMI 201 A D Tx/Rx — These units are housed in
enclosures that can be mounted in UL standard wall boxes
with Decora
-style face plates. These units also convert
®
computer level audio to balanced or unbalanced stereo
audio.
N
•
A non-Decora transmitter or receiver is partially
compatible with a Decora receiver or transmitter.
A mixed form factor system can transmit and receive
•
video and RS-232 communications.
A mixed form factor system cannot transmit and
•
receive audio, as the non-Decora models do not
input, transmit, receive, or output audio.

The units can be purchased as a pair (of the same form factor)
or individually. Each purchased pair and each individual
transmitter is shipped with a single external desktop 12 VDC
power supply that accepts 100 to 240 VAC, 50 Hz or 60 Hz input.
A single power supply connected to either the transmitter or the
receiver can power both units through one of the TP cables that
link the units.
