The Extron DVI 201 A D is a Decora®-style transmitter and receiver set that enables DVI or HDMI signals to be carried over distances significantly greater than the specified 5 meter (15 foot) limitation for standard DVI cables. In addition, it can accept and transmit stereo audio and RS-232 or IR signals. Linked together using two economical and integration friendly CAT 5, CAT 5e, CAT 6, or CAT 7 cables, the DVI 201 A D transmitter and receiver work together to send single link DVI-D or HDMI signals over 200 feet (60 meters) for HDTV and XGA (1024x768).
The DVI 201 A D supports the long distance transmission of HDTV signals with HDCP - High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection for copy protection of digital television broadcasts and high resolution digital video output from DTV tuners and DVRs, and Blu-ray Disc players. The DVI 201 A D is fully compatible with HDMI signals when used with the appropriate adapters from Extron.
Several features facilitate convenient, streamlined system integration. The DVI 201 A D supports transmission of balanced or unbalanced stereo audio signals, when a separate audio cable is installed between the transmitter and the receiver. RS-232 or IR signals from a third-party control system can also be transmitted over the same cabling as the DVI signals, providing remote control of a projector or flat-panel display. An LED indicator provides a quick means of verifying power and signal presence. Furthermore, either the transmitter or receiver can be remotely powered over this cabling, so that external power is necessary for only one of the devices.
The DVI 201 A D transmitter and receiver are designed for wall-mounting with the included Decora-style wallplates. Both devices are also available separately, and may be matched with the standard desktop DVI 201 transmitter or receiver to suit the installation requirements of a specific application.
