Introduction  
There are two subsets of transmitters and receivers in two  
different enclosures or form factors:  
About this Manual  
This manual contains information about the Extron  
DVI 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.  
DVI 201 family of Digital Visual Interface (DVI) video  
transmitters (Tx) and receivers (Rx), including how to install,  
operate, and configure them.  
About the DVI 201 Transmitters and Receivers  
The non-Decora® models do not input, transmit, receive,  
or output audio.  
N
The Extron DVI 201 is a family of DVI transmitters and  
receivers, in enclosures that support different mounting options.  
A transmitter and receiver pair extends the usable distance of  
DVI digital video and RS-232 control signals over two Category  
(CAT) 5/5e/6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted  
pair (STP) cables. The DVI 201 A D transmitter and receiver also  
route audio, but not on the TP link. The video and control (and  
audio, if applicable) signals can be transmitted up to 200' (60 m).  
DVI 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.  
A non-Decora transmitter or receiver is partially  
compatible with a Decora receiver or transmitter.  
N
A mixed form factor system can transmit and receive  
video and RS-232 communications.

Audio (pass)  
A DVI 201 system consists of a transmitter (Tx) and a receiver  
(Rx). The pair can handle a single link of DVI-D digital video  
and a bi-directional RS-232 link. The DVI 201 A D also converts  
a computer audio input into balanced or unbalanced stereo  
audio output.  
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.

Introduction, cont’d  
In this manual, the terms "DVI 201," "DVI 201 Tx,"  
N
Features  
"DVI 201 Rx," "transmitter," and "receiver" refer to the  
applicable unit(s) in either form factor, unless otherwise  
specified.  
Transmits single link DVI-D signals over two CAT 5/5e/6  
cables — Standard twisted pair cables provide an  
economical, easily installed cable solution.  
Long distance transmission —  
TP cable advantages  
CAT 5/5e/6 UTP cable — Accommodates 720p and  
1080i HDTV or XGA video over 200' (60 m), and  
1080p HDTV or UXGA (1600 x 1200) over 100' (30 m).  
Twisted pair cable is much smaller, lighter, more flexible, and  
less expensive than coaxial or DVI cable. These transmitter and  
receiver twisted pair (TP) products make cable runs simpler  
and less cumbersome. Termination of the cable with RJ-45  
connectors is simple, quick, and economical.  
CAT 5/5e/6 STP cable — Accommodates 720p and  
1080i HDTV or XGA video over 200' (60 m), and  
1080p HDTV or UXGA (1600 x 1200) over 125' (38 m).  
The transmitter and receiver pair works with unshielded  
twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP)  
cables; but, to ensure FCC Class A and CE compliance,  
STP cables are recommended.  
N
Local monitor output (DVI 201 Tx [non-Decora] only) —  
The DVI 201 Tx transmitter features a DVI-D output for  
connection to a local monitor.  
Supports DDC and HDCP copy protection transmission —  
The Tx/Rx pairs fully support long distance transmission  
of the DDC and HDCP signals.  
Do not use Extron’s UTP23SF-4 Enhanced Skew-  
FreeA/V UTP cable to link the transmitter and  
receiver. Skew-free A/V cable was designed for most  
Extron TP transmitter/receiver applications, but the  
DVI 201 Tx/Rx does not work properly with this cable.  
N
DDC routing to local or remote display — At the DVI 201 Tx  
[non-Decora], the DDC or HDCP signal is directed to  
either the local display or the remote display, depending  
on which is more critical in receiving the signal.  
Control communications  
The RS-232 and/or infrared (IR) communications are via a  
passive pass-through only; the transmitter and receiver do not  
generate or respond to these signals.  
Remote powering of transmitter or receiver — Only one power  
supply is necessary to power both devices.  
Control communications pass-through — Bidirectional RS-232  
or IR control signals can be transmitted alongside the  
DVI or HDMI signal, so that the remote display can be  
controlled without the need for additional cabling.  
Transmission distance  
The maximum transmission distance is determined by the  
resolution of the signal and the TP cable that is used.  
Audio routing — The DVI 201 A D Tx/Rx also routes  
unbalanced stereo audio, when both units are the Decora  
form factor.  
With CAT 5/5e/6 UTP cable, the Tx/Rx pair can transmit and  
receive 720p and 1080i HDTV or XGA video signals up to  
200' (60 m) and 1080p HDTV or UXGA video up to 100' (30 m).  
Supports CEC signal transmission  
With CAT 5/5e/6 STP cable, the Tx/Rx pair can transmit and  
receive 720p and 1080i HDTV or XGA video signals up to  
200' (60 m) and 1080p HDTV or UXGA video up to 125' (38 m).  
1" high, quarter rack width, metal enclosures (DVI 201 Tx  
and DVI 201 Rx [non-Decora] only) — With low profile  
enclosures, the transmitter and receiver can be discreetly  
installed in locations such as behind a plasma or LCD  
flat-panel display.  
The transmission distance varies greatly, depending on  
the signal resolution, type of cable used, graphics card,  
and display used in the system.

6.  
Feed the twisted pair cables and, if applicable, the audio  
and power cables through the opening and through the  
wall box punch-out holes, securing them with cable clamps  
to provide strain relief.  
To install a new wall box, perform steps 1 through 9 below. If a  
suitable wall box is already installed, perform steps 6 through 9  
below. UL listed wall boxes are recommended.  
1.  
If a wall box is not available to use for a template, use the  
dimensions on page A-9 to create a template. If installing  
directly into furniture, cut out the center portion of your  
template.  
In order to fit in the junction box, the TP cables and  
RJ-45 connectors should not have a boot installed.  
N
One power supply can power both the transmitter and  
the receiver, so only one unit needs a power supply.

2.  
Place the wall box (or your template) against the  
installation surface, and mark the opening guidelines.  
7.  
Trim back and/or insulate exposed cable shields with heat  
shrink to reduce the chance of short circuits.  
3.  
4.  
Cut out the material from the marked area.  
To prevent short circuits, the outer foil shield can be cut  
back to the point where the cable exits the cable clamp.  
Insert the wall box into the opening. The box or the wall  
plate’s rear connectors should fit easily into the opening.  
Enlarge or smooth the edges of the opening if needed.  
8.  
9.  
Connect the cables to the rear of the unit. See  
"Connections", later in this manual, for connector wiring  
details.  
5.  
Secure the wall box with nails or screws, leaving the front  
edge flush with the outer wall or furniture surface. See  
figure 2-10.  
Connect front panel devices (see "Connections", later in  
this manual, for connector details), restore the power  
supply, and test the transmitter/receiver system. Make  
any cabling adjustments before final installation, as the  
cables will be inaccessible afterwards.

Troubleshooting  
DVI signals run at a very high frequency and are especially  
susceptible to bad video connections, too many adapters,  
or cables that are too long. To avoid the loss of an image or  
introduction of image jitter, follow these guidelines:  
Digital Visual Interface (DVI) is a digital video format  
that was created by the computer industry in 1999.  
High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is a  
multimedia format that was created by the consumer  
video industry in 2003.  
The DVI cable on the input to the transmitter or  
the output of the receiver should not exceed 10' (3 m).  
Use only cable designed for DVI signals.  
Limit or avoid the use of adapters.  
The HDMI format is built onto the DVI format,  
adding digital audio and control while reducing the  
size of the connector.  
If the display exhibits a flashing black or blue screen,  
snow, or other distortion, a non-HDCP compliant display  
may be receiving an HDCP-encrypted signal.  
The HDMI format is likely to replace the DVI format  
in the near future.  
With passive adapters, the HDMI format is backward  
compatible with the DVI format.  
Check for an HDCP problem by ejecting the DVD from  
the player. If the display distortion stops and the DVD  
menu or screen saver image is clear, the problem is  
HDCP-related.  
With Extron adapters and/or cables, the DVI 201 fully  
supports either format, regardless of the connector  
type on the video source and display. See appendix A,  
"Reference Information," for part numbers.  
Always power the display before the DVI video source in  
order for the source to retrieve the DDC from the display.  
High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is  
an encryption method that protects copyrighted digital  
entertainment material that uses DVI video.  
HDCP is generated by video player hardware,  
enabled by the video content.  
The HDCP key is transmitted with the Display Data  
Channel (DDC).  
The DDC signal line was designed for the DDC’s low  
data rate; the HDCP key rate is much higher.  
Without active buffering, an HDCP key signal  
can travel only a short distance. The display  
may properly receive the digital video signal, but  
not the HDCP key. Without the key, the display  
cannot decrypt the video signal. Symptoms of  
undecrypted video may include a flashing black  
or blue screen or “snow”.  
With active buffering, an HDCP key signal can  
travel as far as other signals to ensure proper  
decryption.  
The DVI 201 actively buffers the HDCP key.

Application Examples  
Figure 2-29 shows an installation in which the Tx/Rx pair sends  
a modulated infrared (IR) signal across the link. On the TX side,  
control system is connected to the Tx pin (the modulated IR  
signal) and the Gnd (signal ground) on the transmitter. An IR  
emitter is connected to the Tx and Gnd receiver output.  
Audio conversion  
Figure 2-28 shows a standard installation with DVI video and an  
audio input. The DVI 201 A D Tx converts the video input into  
two proprietary TP outputs. The Tx outputs the audio directly  
on a captive screw connector.
