DVI 101 • User Guide
The Extron DVI 101 is a compact, economical cable equalizer that extends Digital Visual Interface (DVI) signals beyond the specified cable limits of 15 feet (5 m).
The DVI 101 attaches to the end of a long cable run of up to 200 feet (61 m). It automatically provides active equalization to ensure optimal image quality with HDTV 1080p and high resolution computer video signals up to 1920x1200. The DVI 101 is ideal for both temporary applications and permanent installations with long DVI cable runs.
The DVI 101 passes EDID information and supports the long distance transmission of HDTV signals with HDCP for copy protection of digital television broadcasts and high resolution digital video output from DVD and Blu-rayDisc™ players.
With appropriate adapters, the DVI 101 is fully compatible with the DVI digital video, audio, and control standard for audio and video products.
At shorter distances, the DVI 101 can be powered by the source device via the DVI cable, eliminating the external power supply
(see
figure 4
on page 3 for the recommended maximum cable lengths).

ATTENTION:
• • • • The length of the exposed wires in the stripping process is critical. The ideal length is 3/16 inches (5 mm). Any longer and the exposed wires may touch, causing a short circuit between them. Any shorter and the wires can be easily pulled out even if tightly fastened by the captive screws.
La longueur des câbles exposés est primordiale lorsque l’on entreprend de les dénuder. La longueur idéale est de 5 mm (3/16 inches). S’ils sont trop longs, les câbles exposés pourraient se toucher et provoquer un court-circuit. S’ils sont trop courts, ils peuvent être tirés facilement, même s’ils sont correctement serrés par les borniers à vis.
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.
Utilisez toujours une source d’alimentation fournie ou recommandée par Extron. L’utilisation d’une source d’alimentation non autorisée annule toute certification de conformité réglementaire, et peut endommager la source d’alimentation et l’unité.

Si le produit n’est pas fourni avec une source d’alimentation, il doit être alimenté par une source d’alimentation certifiée UL de classe 2 ou LPS avec une tension nominale de 12 Vcc, 0.5 A minimum.
Unless otherwise stated, the AC/DC adapters are not suitable for use in air handling spaces or in wall cavities. The power supply is to be located within the same vicinity as the Extron AV processing equipment in an ordinary location, Pollution Degree 2, secured to the equipment rack within the dedicated closet, podium, or desk.
Sauf mention contraire, les adaptateurs CA/CC ne conviennent pas à une utilisation dans les espaces d’aération ou dans les cavités murales.

Input cable lengths
The maximum input cable length for the equalizer is 200 feet (61 m), for the highest transmission rate of 165 MHz. Longer cables may be used at a lower rate. High quality cable can increase the distance and rate of transmission. However, the achievable distance and speed are also contingent on the sensitivity of the input source and the display device and on the source of power to the equalizer (external or input source).
The table in figure 4 shows the maximum cable lengths recommended for each resolution, depending on whether the equalizer is
powered from the input source or an external power supply.
NOTE Avoid using couplers and adapters between cables, as this can result in signal degradation.

Power and signal status LED
— This dual-color LED lights yellow when the DVI is receiving power. When a DVI input signal is present, this LED lights green.
NOTE If the LED does not light when attempting to power the unit from the source device, use an external power supply instead.
Powering Via the Input Source
For shorter distances, the DVI 101 can receive power from the input device via the 5 VDC signal on pin 14 of the DVI 101. This eliminates the external power supply. However, for best unit performance, the external supply is recommended.
NOTE If the source does not adequately supply the +5 V power, an external power supply must be used. To verify if the source is providing power, connect a short DVI cable from the input device to the input of the DVI. If the DVI 101 front panel LED lights yellow, the source is supplying power.
Mounting the DVI 101
The DVI 101 can be mounted on a rack shelf, under furniture, or placed on a table top.
Tabletop mounting
Four self-adhesive rubber feet are included with the DVI 101. For tabletop use, attach one foot at each corner on the bottom
surface of the unit (see
Under-furniture mounting
on the next page).
Rack mounting
Extron has a variety of optional rack shelf and furniture mounting kits available at
www.extron.com
that can be used with the DVI 101 (see
Rack mounting procedure
on the next page).
UL rack mounting guidelines
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines apply to the safe installation of the equipment in a rack.
1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Elevated operating ambient temperature
+50 °C). — If the equipment is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, install the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature specified by Extron (Tma = +122 °F,
Reduced air flow
— Install the equipment in a rack so that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
Mechanical loading
— When mounting the equipment in the rack, ensure that uneven mechanical loading does not cause a hazardous condition.
Circuit overloading
concern.
— When connecting the equipment to the supply circuit, consider the effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Consider the equipment nameplate ratings when addressing this
Reliable earthing (grounding)
— Maintain reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (for example, use of power strips).

Rack mounting procedure
For optional rack mounting, mount the DVI 101 on a rack shelf. On the standard 9.5 inches or 6 inches deep rack shelf, the equalizer mounts in one of eight possible locations to the rear of the rack.
Use 2 mounting holes on opposite corners.
1/4 Rack Width Front False Faceplate Both front false faceplates use 2 screws.
1/2 Rack Width Front False Faceplate (2) 4-40 x 3/16" Screws 1U Universal Rack Shelf Figure 7. 1.
Mounting the DVI 101 on a standard 9.5 inches deep rack shelf
If rubber feet were previously installed on the bottom of the unit, remove them.
2. 3. Secure the DVI 101 onto the rack shelf, using two 4-40 x 3/16" screws in opposite (diagonal) corners.
Install one or more blank panels or other units on the rack shelf as desired.
4. 5. Insert the shelf into the rack, aligning the holes in the shelf with those of the rack.
Secure the shelf to the front or the rear of the the rack using the supplied machine screws.
Under-furniture mounting
To mount the DVI 101 under a desk top, podium, or other furniture, use an optional under-desk mounting kit (available at
www.extron.com
), as follows: 1. If rubber feet were previously attached to the bottom of the unit, remove them.
2. 3. Remove the screws from one side of the DVI 101. Retain the screws for possible later reassembly.
Attach one bracket to the side of the unit, using the provided machine screws (see figure 8).
Figure 8. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.
Under-furniture mounting the DVI
Repeat steps 2 and 3 on the other side of the DVI 101.
Hold the unit with the attached brackets against the underside of the table or other furniture. On the mounting surface, mark the location of the four bracket screw holes.
Drill 3/32 inch (2 mm) diameter pilot holes, 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) deep in the mounting surface at the marked screw locations.
Insert #8 wood screws into the four pilot holes. Tighten each screw into the mounting surface until slightly less than 1/4 inch of the screw head protrudes.
Align the mounting screws with the slots in the brackets and place the unit against the surface, with the screws through the bracket slots.
Slide the unit slightly forward or back, then tighten all four screws to secure it in place.
