About this Manual  
This manual describes the Extron® HDMI 201 family of High Definition Multimedia Interface  
(HDMI) Extenders, which consists of HDMI 201 Tx transmitters and HDMI 201 Rx receivers.  
This manual describes how to install, operate, and configure them.  
About the HDMI 201 Transmitter and Receiver  
The Extron HDMI 201 Tx/Rx is a family of HDMI transmitters and receivers (figure 1),  
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 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP)  
cables. Extron DTP26 digital cable is also recommended. The HDMI 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 feet (60 m).

Figure 1. Typical Transmitter and Receiver Application  
An HDMI 201 system consists of a transmitter (Tx) and a receiver (Rx). The pair can handle  
a single link of HDMI digital video and a bidirectional RS-232 link. The HDMI 201 A D also  
converts a computer audio input into balanced or unbalanced stereo audio output.  
HDMI 201 • Introduction

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.  
NOTE: 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.  
NOTES: • 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, 50-60 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.  
NOTE: In this manual, the terms “HDMI 201,” “HDMI 201 Tx,” “HDMI 201 Rx,”  
“transmitter,” and “receiver” refer to the applicable unit in either form factor,  
unless otherwise specified.

TP Cable Advantages  
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.  
NOTES: • 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.  
• Do not use Extron 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  
HDMI 201 Tx/Rx does not work properly with this cable.  
Control Communications  
The RS-232 or infrared (IR) communications are pass-through only; the transmitter and  
receiver do not generate or respond to these signals.  
Transmission Distance  
The maximum transmission distance is determined by the resolution of the signal and the  
TP cable that is used.  
With CAT 5/5e/6 unshielded TP cable, the Tx/Rx pair can transmit and receive 720p  
and 1080i HDTV or XGA video signals up to 200 feet (60 m) and 1080p HDTV or  
UXGA video up to 100 feet (30 m).  
With CAT 5/5e/6 shielded TP cable, the Tx/Rx pair can transmit and receive 720p  
and 1080i HDTV or XGA video signals up to 200 feet (60 m) and 1080p HDTV or  
UXGA video up to 125 feet (38 m).  
NOTES: • The transmission distance varies greatly, depending on the signal  
resolution, type of cable used, graphics card, and display used in the  
system.  
• For resolutions of 1600x1200, 1920x1200, and 1080p, Extron strongly  
recommends DTP26 cable, or equivalent. Extron DTP26 cable consists  
of four individually shielded copper pairs and an overall braided shield  
that help reduce crosstalk. DTP26 cable extends these resolutions up to  
150 feet (45 m).

UL guidelines for rack mounting  
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the installation of  
an HDMI 201 unit onto a rack.  
1. Elevated operating ambient — If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly,  
the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than  
room ambient. Therefore, consider installing the equipment in an environment  
compatible with the maximum ambient temperature specified by the manufacturer  
[Tma = +32 to +122 °F (0 to +50 °C)].  
2. Reduced air flow — Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the  
amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.  
3. Mechanical loading — Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a  
hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.  
4. Circuit overloading — Consideration should be given to the connection of the  
equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might  
have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of  
equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.  
5. Reliable earthing (grounding) — Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment  
should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections  
other than direct connections to the branch circuit (such as the use of power strips).  
Rack shelf mounting instructions  
On the 6-inch and 9.5-inch rack shelves, the transmitter or receiver unit can be mounted  
in the front or the rear of the rack.  
1. Remove the feet from the bottom of the transmitter or receiver unit if installed.  
2. Mount the transmitter or receiver unit on the rack shelf, using two 4-40 x 3/16-inch  
screws in opposite (diagonal) corners to secure it to the shelf (figure 2).

Decora Unit Mounting  
The HDMI 201 A D (Decora) transmitter and receiver can be installed in a one-gang  
electrical wall box with a Decora wall plate cover (supplied).  
The installation must conform to national and local electrical codes and to the size  
requirements of the wall plate.  
UL/safety guidelines  
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the installation of the  
Decora transmitters and receivers into a wall or furniture.  
1. These units are not to be connected to a centralized DC power source or used beyond  
their rated voltage range.  
2. These units must be installed in UL listed junction boxes.  
3. These units must be installed with conduit in accordance with National Electrical Code.  
Preparing the site and installing the wall box  
Choose a location that allows cable runs without interference. Allow enough depth for  
both the wall box and the cables. The box should be at least 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) deep  
to accommodate the connectors and cables. Install the cables into the wall, furniture, or  
conduits before installing the wall plate.  
NOTE: The Decora units are very deep and have connectors on the back side  
(figure 10). Extron recommends its 1-gang or 2-gang junction boxes  
(part #s 980130 and 980084), which have a depth of 2.5 inches (6.4 cm).

1. If a wall box is not available to use for a template, see the dimensions on page 35  
to create a template. If installing directly into furniture, cut out the center portion of  
your template.  
2. Place the wall box (or your template) against the installation surface, and mark the  
opening guidelines.  
3. Cut out the material from the marked area.  
4. Insert the wall box into the opening. The rear connectors on the box or wall plate  
should fit easily into the opening. Enlarge or smooth the edges of the opening if  
needed.  
5. Secure the wall box with nails or screws, leaving the front edge flush with the outer  
wall or furniture surface (figure 11).  
NOTE: If attaching the wall box to wood, use four #8 or #10 screws or 10-penny  
nails. A minimum of 0.5 inch (1.3 cm) of screw thread must penetrate the  
wood.  
If attaching the wall box to metal studs or furniture, use four #8 or #10  
self-tapping sheet metal screws or machine bolts with matching nuts.

6. Feed the TP 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.  
NOTES: • In order to fit in the junction box, the TP cables and RJ-45 connectors  
should not have a boot installed.  
• One power supply can power both the transmitter and the receiver, so  
only one unit needs a power supply.  
7. Trim back and/or insulate exposed cable shields with heat shrink to reduce the chance  
of short circuits.  
To prevent short circuits, the outer foil shield can be cut back to the point where the  
cable exits the cable clamp.  
8. Connect the cables to the rear of the unit. See Connections, later in this manual, for  
connector wiring details.  
9. 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.

Figure 21. TP Cable Termination  
NOTES: • RJ-45 termination with CAT 5, CAT 5e, CAT 6, or DTP26 cable must  
comply with the TIA/EIA T 568A or TIA/EIA T 568B wiring standard for all  
connections.  
• Extron recommends 28AWG to 24AWG TP cable for the RJ-45 connectors.  
• Do not use Extron 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 HDMI 201 Tx/Rx does  
not work properly with this cable.  
• In order to fit in the junction box, the TP cables and RJ-45 connectors  
should not have a boot installed.  
• Connect transmitter output 1 to receiver input 1. Connect transmitter  
output 2 to receiver input 2.  
• If necessary, test for proper cable connection (output 1 to input 1, output 2  
to input 2) as follows:  
1. Plug both TP cables into the powered unit.  
2. Momentarily connect either of the cables on the opposite end into the  
“2” connector on the unpowered unit.  
If the Power LED on the unpowered unit is lit, the connection is correct.  
If the Power LED on the unpowered unit is not lit, unplug the connector  
on the unpowered end and connect the other cable to the “2”  
connector.  
• 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. See Terminating shielded cable.  
HDMI 201 • Installation and Operation

Terminating shielded cable  
The Tx and Rx each include two shielded RJ-45 connectors and a length of self-adhesive  
shielded tape that you can use to make the STP cables that connect the transmitter and  
receiver.  
NOTES: • 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.  
Extron supplies the connectors and the shielded tape. You must supply the  
CAT 5, 5e, 6, or DTP26 cable.  
Terminate the STP cable as follows:  
1. Peel back the cable shielding (figure 22) from the end of the cable the length of the  
RJ-45 connector body (approximately 7/8 inch [2.2 cm]) and fold it back.  
Peel back shield and  
fold back.  
Figure 22. Peeling Back the Cable Shielding  
2. Cut away and discard the clear cellophane inner wrapper from the end of the cable  
back to the folded-over cable shielding.  
3. Peel the backing off the self-adhesive shielded aluminum tape and wrap it around  
the folded-over cable shielding, slightly overlapping the beginning of the tape  
(figure 23).  
Wrap tape around folded foil shielding.  
Aluminum Tape  
Slightly overlap.  
Cut and save the excess tape  
for other connectors.  
Figure 23. Wrapping the Shielded Tape  
4. Cut the unused portion of the shielded tape and retain for shielding other RJ-45  
connectors.  
5. Feed each individual wire into the appropriate slot of the RJ-45 connector and crimp  
the cable in the normal manner, folding the tangs at the end of the connector over  
the shielded tape (figure 24).

Power supply wiring  
NOTES: • Only one power supply is required. A single power supply connected to  
either unit in the pair powers both units.  
A single power supply is included with systems packaged as a pair.  
A power supply is also included with each individually-packaged transmitter.  
Figure 25 shows how to wire the connector. Snap the provided ferrite bead onto the  
DC power cable, between the power supply and the connector on the HDMI unit. For  
non-Decora units only, use the supplied tie-wrap to strap the power cord to the  
extended tail of the connector.

CAUTION: Always use a power supply supplied and or specified by Extron. Use of an  
unauthorized power supply voids all regulatory compliance certification and  
may cause damage to the supply and the end product. Unless otherwise  
stated, the AC/DC adapters are not suitable for use in air handling spaces  
or in wall cavities. The installation must always be in accordance with the  
applicable provisions of National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, article 75  
and the Canadian Electrical Code part 1, section 16. The power supply  
shall not be permanently fixed to building structure or similar structure.  
CAUTION: Power supply voltage polarity is critical. Incorrect voltage polarity can  
damage the power supply and the unit. The ridges on the side of the cord  
(figure 25) identify the power cord negative lead.  
To verify the polarity before connection, plug in the power supply with no load and check  
the output with a voltmeter.  
WARNING: The two power cord wires must be kept separate while the power supply  
is plugged in. Remove power before wiring.  
CAUTION: The length of the exposed (stripped) copper wires is important. The  
ideal length is 3/16 inch (5 mm). Longer bare wires can short together.  
Shorter wires are not as secure in the connectors and could be pulled out.  
NOTE: Do not tin the power supply leads before installing them in the direct insertion  
connector. Tinned wires are not as secure in the connectors and could be  
pulled out.

System Operation  
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.  
NOTE: 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.  
Technical Points for Digital Video and Content Protection Encryption  
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.  
о
The HDMI format is built onto the DVI format, adding digital audio and control  
while reducing the size of the connector.  
о
о
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.  
With Extron adapters, cables, or both, the HDMI 201 fully supports either format,  
regardless of the connector type on the video source and display. See Reference  
Information for part numbers.  
High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is an encryption method that  
protects copyrighted digital entertainment material that uses DVI video.  
о
о
о
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 low data rate of the DDC; 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 HDMI 201 actively buffers the HDCP key.

Troubleshooting  
HDMI 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:  
The HDMI cable on the input to the transmitter or the output of the receiver should  
not exceed 10 feet (3 m).  
Use only cable designed for HDMI signals.  
Limit or avoid the use of adapters or patch points between the transmitter and receiver.  
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.  
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.  
If image artifacts are present, the TP cable may be the cause. Extron recommends  
DTP26 cable.  
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 twisted pair cables. Additional links in the signal chain can result in  
the reduction of signal integrity and overall cable length performance.
