Introduction This user guide contains information about the Extron® DVI DL 201 Tx/Rx signal transmitter and receiver, with information on how to mount, install, and operate these units. In this guide, unless otherwise specified, the terms “DVI DL 201” and “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.

Cable Connections and Switches DVI-D Input Connect the DVI-D source device to the female DVI-I input connector. The dual link DVI-D input carries a signal with a resolution up to 2560x1600 @ 60 Hz. For sources providing HDMI signals, use an HDMI to DVI adapter, such as the Extron HDMIF-DVIDM female HDMI to male DVI-D adapter (part number 26-616-01). The pin assignments for the DVI-I input connectors are shown in the table below.
Twisted Pair Output and Input Terminating shielded cable CAT 5/5e/6/7 twisted pair cable is not provided with the transmitter/receiver pair. You may purchase cables that have been precut to the required length and terminated to the T586A or T586B standard (see the table on the next page). Alternatively, purchase bulk cable and use the RJ-45 connectors (provided) to prepare your own terminated cables as described below.
5. Separate the individual wires, and arrange them so that all eight wires are side by side in the same order as the T586A or T586B standard shown at the top of the next page. Both ends of a cable must be wired to the same standard (T586A or T586B).
Connections Use RJ-45 connectors to link the output from the transmitter to the appropriate input on the receiver. Three CAT 5/5e/6/7 twisted pair (TP) cables connect the transmitter with the receiver. NOTE: 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.
DDC Switches When the DVI-D source device boots up, it uses the Display Data Channel (DDC), a twoway 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.
RS-232 signals CONTROL PASS THRU RS-232 signals are bidirectional — signals pass from the control device and replies return from the remote device.
Power Input 1. Connect the captive screw connector from the supplied 12 VDC power supply into the power receptacle. CAUTION: Always use a power supply supplied by 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.
Configuration and Operation This section provides information about: zz Configuration zz Setup and Operation zz Troubleshooting Configuration 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.
8. Turn off the display and disconnect it from the transmitter. 9. Connect the transmitter to the receiver with the three twisted pair cables. zz Transmitter port 1 connects to receiver port 1. zz Transmitter port 2 connects to receiver port 2. zz Transmitter port 3 connects to receiver port 3. 10. Power up the transmitter and the receiver. A single power supply, connected to the transmitter can provide power to both units through the remote power connection. 11.
Using Pass-through Mode with DDC Routed to a Local Monitor 2. Connect the source device to the transmitter input. 3. Connect the display device to the receiver output and, if required, the local monitor to the transmitter output. EDID MINDER DEFAULT EDID REMOTE DDC 1. Set the EDID Minder switch to the off (down) position and the Default EDID switch to the off (down) position (see the figure at right). The position of the Remote DDC switch is not relevant. ON ON 1 2 3 OFF 4.
6. Boot up the source device. The source boots with the resolution and refresh rate of the remote display. NOTE: Because the remote display is the source of EDID, it must be powered on before the source device is booted. 7. Power on the local monitor, if required. NOTE: The remote display device must be capable of handling a resolution equal to or greater than that of the local monitor. Setup and Operation 1.
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.
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: zz The DVI cable on the input to the transmitter or the output from the receiver should not exceed 10 feet (3 m). zz Use only cable designed for DVI signals.
