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.  
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.  
N
DVI DL 201 Tx/Rx Features

passes through RS-232 (two way) or IR (one way) control  
signals, to a remote display.  
Compact design — The transmitter is 1U high, a half rack wide  
and 3" deep, for easy rack mounting near the source device.  
The receiver is 1" high, a quarter rack wide and 3" deep,  
allowing multiple mounting options near the display device.  
Remote powering of receiver — A single power supply,  
connected to the transmitter, is able to power both the  
transmitter and receiver.

Installation  
Mounting the DVI DL 201 Tx/Rx  
The transmitter is 1U high, a half rack wide and 3" deep, for  
easy rack mounting near the source device.  
The receiver is 1" high, a quarter rack wide and 3" deep,  
allowing multiple mounting options near the display device.  
Tabletop placement  
Attach the four included rubber feet to the bottom of the unit  
and place it in any convenient location.  
Rack mounting  
UL guidelines for rack mounting  
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines are  
relevant to the safe installation of the DVI DL 201 Tx/Rx in a  
rack:  
1.  
Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the unit  
is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the  
operating ambient temperature of the rack environment  
may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore,  
install the equipment in an environment compatible with  
the maximum ambient temperature (Tma: +122 °F, +50 °C)  
specified by Extron.  
2.  
3.  
4.  
Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in the rack  
so that the equipment gets adequate air flow for safe  
operation.  
Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack  
so that uneven mechanical loading does not create a  
hazardous condition.  
Circuit overloading — Connect the equipment to  
the supply circuit and consider the effect that circuit  
overloading might have on overcurrent protection and  
supply wiring. Give appropriate consideration to the  
equipment nameplate ratings when addressing this  
concern.  
5.  
Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable  
grounding of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular  
attention to supply connections other than direct  
connections to the branch circuit (such as the use of power  
strips).

DDC switches  
When the DVI-D source device boots up, it uses the Display  
Data Channel (DDC), a two-way communication protocol, to  
obtain Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) from the  
display device. This allows the source to output a resolution  
that matches the capabilities of the display.  
A bank of three switches allows the user to determine how the  
source device will obtain the EDID. The EDID can be obtained  
directly from the display device, or from the internal memory  
within. The three switches are:  
EDID Minder — This switch must be on for the EDID Minder  
function to be enabled. The factory default for this switch is the  
off position.  
Default EDID — When the Default EDID switch  
is on (factory default; see figure at right), an EDID  
showing a typical Dual Link DVI display resolution  
ON  
of 2560x1600 @ 60 Hz is passed to the source device.

The EDID Minder switch must also be on for the  
Default EDID switch to function.

Using the EDID Minder to read and store EDID  
from a display  
During boot up, the DVI-D source device uses Display Data  
Channel (DDC) to obtain Extended Display Identification Data  
(EDID) from the display device. This allows the output signal to  
match the resolution and refresh rate of the display device.  
The DVI DL 201 Tx/Rx uses Extron's EDID Minder, which  
allows the user to store and use EDID from any display device.  
To use this feature, follow these steps:  
1.  
Disconnect all devices and cables from the transmitter and  
receiver.  
2.  
Connect the desired display to the transmitter's Local  
Monitor output. For best results, the cable for this  
connection should be 15' (4.5 m) or shorter.

Troubleshooting  
If the DVI DL 201 Tx/Rx does not provide a high quality output  
signal, check the following possibilities before contacting  
your Extron representative (see the back cover for contact  
information). Be sure to read all the suggestions as many of the  
issues have several possible solutions.  
No output signal — Check that the front panel LEDs for both  
the transmitter and receiver are on (lit amber). If they are not,  
check the power supply connections to the units.  
If a single power supply is being used to power both units, it  
must be connected to the transmitter.  
Do not try to power both units with a single power  
supply connected to the receiver as that will not provide  
adequate power to the transmitter.  
N
There are some circumstances, particularly with longer  
Unsheilded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable runs, where the receiver  
may not get adequate power. Under these circumstances, it may  
be necessary to use two separate power supplies, one for the  
transmitter and one for the receiver.  
DVI DL 201 Tx/Rx • Configuration and Operation

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Insure all three twisted pair cables are firmly seated in the  
correct receptacles.  
No output signal or poor quality signal — Check the integrity  
of the UTP or STP cables between the transmitter and the  
receiver.  
The transmitter and receiver pair works with unshielded  
twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables.  
To ensure FCC Class A and CE compliance, and for  
optimum performance, STP cables are recommended.  
N
Ensure that the twisted pair cables are terminated correctly  
and to the same standard at both ends (see "Terminating  
shielded cable" on page 2-14).  
Ensure that each RJ-45 connector is firmly seated in its  
receptacle and that each transmitter port is connected to  
the correct receiver port (see pages 2-14 and 2-15).  
Ensure that the length of the twisted pair cable does  
not exceed the guidelines for single link or dual link  
connections (see page 2-16).  
Image loss or jitter — DVI signals run at very high frequency  
and are especially susceptible to bad video connections, too  
many adapters, or cables that are too long. To avoid loss of an  
image or introduction of image jitter:  
The DVI cable on the input to the transmitter or the output  
from the receiver should not exceed 10' (3 m).  
Use only cable designed for DVI signals.  
Limit or avoid the use of adapters, patch panels, or  
couplers with the input DVI cables, the output DVI cables,  
and/or the twisted pair cables. Additional links in the  
chain reduce signal integrity and overall cable length  
performance.  
Always turn on the display before the DVI video source in  
order for the source to retrieve the DDC from the display.  
No video signal or incorrect resolution or refresh rate — If the  
source device is not able to obtain EDID information when it is  
being powered on, it may not be able to send a video signal or  
the signal may have the wrong resolution or refresh rate.  
Ensure that the DDC DIP switches are set correctly for the  
EDID source (see pages 3-2 to 3-5).  
The source device must be powered on after the display  
device providing the EDID source has been powered on.  
Incorrect color or tint — Ensure that the twisted pair cables are  
terminated correctly and to the same standard on both ends of  
the cable (see page 2-14 and 2-15).

Configuration and Operation, cont’d  
Display device displays a flashing black or blue screen, snow,  
or other distortion — A device that is not High-Bandwidth  
Digital Content Protection (HDCP) compliant may be receiving  
HDCP-encrypted signals.  
The DVI DL 201 Tx/Rx is compatible with HDCP signals only  
when the EDID Minder is disabled. HDCP signals can be  
passed through to only one display (remote or local) and only  
that display shows the signal correctly.  
Signal on local monitor but not on remote display — Check  
that both output devices (local and remote) can handle  
resolutions equal to or greater than the EDID source.
