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 family of  
High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) extenders, the  
HDMI 201 Tx/Rx transmitter and receiver pair, including how  
to install, operate, and configure them.  
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.  
In this manual, the term "Tx/Rx" refers to either  
product.  
N
The non-Decora models do not input, transmit, receive,  
or output audio.  
N
About the HDMI 201 Tx/Rx  
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.  
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).  
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.  
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.  
Figure1-1Typicaltransmitterandreceiverapplication  
An HDMI 201 system consists of a transmitter (Tx) and a  
receiver (Rx). The pair can handle HDMI digital video and a  
bi-directional RS-232 link. The HDMI 201 A D also converts a  
computer audio input into balanced or unbalanced stereo audio  
output.

Introduction, cont’d  
In this manual, the terms "HDMI 201,"  
N
Features  
"HDMI 201 Tx," "HDMI 201 Rx," "transmitter," and  
"receiver" refer to the applicable unit(s) in either form  
factor, unless otherwise specified.  
Transmits single link HDMI 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/6/7 UTP cable — Accommodates 720p and  
1080i HDTV or XGA video up to 200' (60 m), and  
1080p HDTV or UXGA (1600 x 1200) up to 100' (30 m).  
Twisted pair cable is much smaller, lighter, more flexible, and  
less expensive than coaxial or HDMI 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/6/7 STP cable — Accommodates 720p and  
1080i HDTV or XGA video up to 200' (60 m), and  
1080p HDTV or UXGA (1600 x 1200) up to 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 required.  
N
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-Free™  
A/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  
HDMI 201 Tx/Rx does not work properly with this  
cable.  
Control communications pass-through — Bidirectional RS-232  
or IR control signals can be transmitted alongside the  
HDMI signal, so that the remote display can be controlled  
without the need for additional cabling.  
N
Audio routing — The HDMI 201 A D Tx/Rx also routes  
unbalanced stereo audio when both units are the Decora  
form factor.  
Control communications  
Supports CEC signal transmission  
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.  
1" high, quarter rack width, metal enclosures (HDMI 201  
Tx and HDMI 201 Rx [non-Decora] only) — With low  
profile enclosures, both transmitter models and both  
receiver models can be discreetly installed in locations  
such as behind a plasma or LCD flat-panel display.  
Transmission distance  
The maximum transmission distance is determined by the  
resolution of the signal and the TP cable that is used.  
Wall-mountable enclosures (HDMI 201 A D Tx and  
HDMI 201 A D Rx [Decora] only)  
With CAT 5/5e/6/7 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).  
External 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, international power  
supply (part #70-055-01) — Included with units sold as a  
paired system and with transmitters  
With CAT 5/5e/6/7 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).  
Remote powering of transmitter or receiver — Only one power  
supply is necessary to power both devices.  
The transmission distance varies greatly, depending on  
the signal resolution, type of cable used, graphics card,  
and display used in the system.

With Extron adapters and/or cables, the HDMI 201  
fully supports either format, regardless of the connector

"Reference Information," for part numbers.  
HDMI 201 A D Rx (Decora) — This two-color front panel LED  
lights to indicate signal and power status as follows:  
High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is  
an encryption method that protects copyrighted digital  
entertainment material that uses DVI video.  
Amber — The unit is receiving power but not a TP input.  
Green — The unit is receiving power and a signal is present on  
the TP input.  
HDCP is generated by video player hardware,  
enabled by the video content.  
System operation  
The HDCP key is transmitted with the Display Data  
Channel (DDC).  
After the transmitter, the receiver, and their connected devices  
are powered up, the system is fully operational. If any problems  
are encountered, ensure all cables are routed and connected  
properly.  
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”.  
Ensure that the video source and display selected for the  
DDC are properly connected to the transmitter/receiver  
pair, and that the transmitter, the receiver, and the  
display have power applied before power is applied to  
the video source. If all other devices are not turned on  
before the video source, the image may not appear.  
N
With active buffering, an HDCP key signal can  
travel as far as other signals to ensure proper  
decryption.  
The HDMI 201 actively buffers the HDCP key.

Figure 2-27 shows a standard installation with HDMI video and  
an audio input. The HDMI 201 A D Tx converts the video input  
into two proprietary TP outputs. The Tx outputs the audio  
directly on a captive screw connector.  
The HDMI cable on the input to the transmitter or  
the output of the receiver should not exceed 10' (3 m).  
Use only cable designed for HDMI signals.  
Limit or avoid the use of adapters.

The HDMI 201 works as described in point-to-point  
applications. Do not use any additional adapters, patch  
panels, or couplers with the input HDMI cables, output  
HDMI cables, and/or twisted pair cables. Additional  
links in the signal chain can result in the reduction of  
signal integrity and overall cable length performance.
