Introduction

About this Manual

This manual contains information about the Extron

DVI 201 family of Digital Visual Interface (DVI) video transmitters (Tx) and receivers (Rx), including how to install, operate, and configure them.

About the DVI 201 Transmitters and Receivers

The Extron DVI 201 is a family of DVI transmitters and receivers, in enclosures that support different mounting options.

A transmitter and receiver pair extends the usable distance of

DVI digital video and RS-232 control signals over two Category

(CAT) 5/5e/6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables. The DVI 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' (60 m).

Figure 1-1 — Typical transmitter and receiver application

A DVI 201 system consists of a transmitter (Tx) and a receiver

(Rx). The pair can handle a single link of DVI-D digital video and a bi-directional RS-232 link. The DVI 201 A D also converts a computer audio input into balanced or unbalanced stereo audio output.

1-2

DVI 201 Tx/Rx • Introduction

There are two subsets of transmitters and receivers in two different enclosures or form factors:

• DVI 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.

N

The non-Decora or output audio.

®

models do not input, transmit, receive,

• DVI 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.

N

• 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 handle 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.

Introduction, cont’d

N

In this manual, the terms "DVI 201," "DVI 201 Tx,"

"DVI 201 Rx," "transmitter," and "receiver" refer to the applicable unit(s) 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 DVI 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.

N

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 recommended.

N

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

DVI 201 Tx/Rx does not work properly with this cable.

Control communications

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.

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/6/7 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).

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).

N

The transmission distance varies greatly, depending on the signal resolution, type of cable used, graphics card, and display used in the system.

Decora unit mounting

The DVI 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 wall plate’s size requirements.

UL/Safety Requirements

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirements 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" (6.4 cm) deep to accommodate the connectors and cables. Install the cables into the wall, furniture, or conduits before installing the wall plate.

N

The Decora units are very deep and have connectors on the back side (figure 2-9 on page 2-12). Extron recommends its 1-gang or 2-gang junction boxes

(part #s 980130 or 980084), which have a depth of

2.5" (6.4 cm).

To install a new wall box, perform steps 1 through 9 below. If a suitable wall box is already installed, perform steps 6 through 9 below. UL listed wall boxes are recommended.

1

. If a wall box is not available to use for a template, use the dimensions on page A-9 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 box or the wall plate’s rear connectors 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. See figure 2-10.

Figure 2-10 — Installing the wall box

N

If attaching the wall box to wood, use four #8 or #10 screws or 10-penny nails. A minimum of 0.5" (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 twisted pair 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.

N

In order to fit in the junction box, the TP cables and

RJ-45 connectors should not have a boot installed.

N

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.


2-13


Final installation

After testing and making any adjustments, do the following:

1

. At the power outlet, unplug the power supply.

N

One power supply can power both the transmitter and the receiver, so only one unit needs a power supply.

2

. Mount the transmitter or receiver into the wall box, and attach the supplied Decora faceplate to the unit, as shown in figure 2-11.

Terminating shielded cable

N

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 recommended.

The Tx/Rx includes four 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.

N

Extron supplies the connectors and the shielded tape.

You must supply the CAT 5, 5e, or 6 STP cable.

Terminate the STP cable as follows:

1

. Peel back the cable shielding (figure 2-21) from the end of the cable the length of the RJ-45 connector body

(approximately 7/8" [2.2 cm]) and fold it back.

Peel back shield and fold back.

Figure 2-21 — 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 2-22).

Aluminum Tape

Wrap tape around folded foil shielding.

Slightly overlap.

Cut and save the excess tape for other connectors.

DVI 201 Rx (non-Decora) —

This front panel LED lights green to indicate that the unit is receiving power:

DVI 201 A D Rx (Decora) —

This two-color front panel LED lights to indicate signal and power status as follows:

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.

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.

N

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

video industry in 2003.

™ )

is a multimedia format that was created by the consumer



The HDMI format is built onto the DVI format, adding digital audio and control while reducing the size of the connector.



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 and/or cables, the DVI 201 fully supports either format, regardless of the connector type on the video source and display. See appendix A,

"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.



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 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”.

♦

With active buffering

, an HDCP key signal can travel as far as other signals to ensure proper decryption.

♦

The DVI 201 actively buffers the HDCP key

.

Troubleshooting

DVI 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 DVI cable on the input to the transmitter or the output of the receiver should not exceed 10' (3 m).

• Use only cable designed for DVI signals.

• Limit or avoid the use of adapters.

• 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.

• Always power the display before the DVI video source in order for the source to retrieve the DDC from the display.

• The DVI 201 works as described in point-to-point applications. Do not use any additional adapters, patch panels, or couplers with the input DVI cables, output DVI 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.

Application Examples

Audio conversion

Figure 2-28 shows a standard installation with DVI video and an audio input. The DVI 201 A D Tx converts the video input into two proprietary TP outputs. The Tx outputs the audio directly on a captive screw connector.

L+ L-

R+ R-

Modulated IR pass through

Figure 2-29 shows an installation in which the Tx/Rx pair sends a modulated infrared (IR) signal across the link. On the TX side, control system is connected to the Tx pin (the modulated IR signal) and the Gnd (signal ground) on the transmitter. An IR emitter is connected to the Tx and Gnd receiver output.
