Introduction About this Manual This manual contains information about the DVI DL 201 Tx/Rx signal transmitter and receiver, with information on how to mount, install, and operate these units. In this manual, unless otherwise specified, the terms "DVI DL 201" or "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.
EDID Minder — The EDID Minder maintains continuous EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) communication with the attached source. This ensures that the DVI source powers up correctly and maintains a proper video output, even if the display is off. Control communications pass-through — The DVI DL 201 passes through RS-232 (two way) or IR (one way) control signals, to a remote display.

Installation Mounting the DVI DL 201 Tx/Rx The transmitter is 1U high, a half rack wide and 3" deep, for easy rack mounting near the source device. The receiver is 1" high, a quarter rack wide and 3" deep, allowing multiple mounting options near the display device. Tabletop placement Attach the four included rubber feet to the bottom of the unit and place it in any convenient location.
Rack mounting procedures The unit can be mounted in the front or rear of: • RSU 126 (6" deep 1U universal rack shelf kit: PN 60-190-10) • RSB 126 (6" deep 1U basic rack shelf: PN 60-604-10) • RSU 129 (9.5" deep 1U universal rack shelf kit: PN 60-190-01) • RSB 129 (9.5" deep 1U basic rack shelf: PN 60-604-01) To mount the unit, follow these instructions: 1. Remove rubber feet if these have been installed on the bottom of the unit. 2.
Installation, cont’d Under-desk mounting The figure below shows how to mount the DVI DL 201 Tx under a desk or podium, using the optional Extron MBU 123 under desk mounting kit (PN 70-212-01). To mount the DVI DL 201 Rx, the optional Extron MBU 125 under desk mounting kit (PN 70-077-01, not shown) must be used. For either unit, follow these instructions: 1. Remove rubber feet if these have been installed on the bottom of the unit. 2.
Through-desk mounting The DVI DL 201 Tx should not be mounted through a desk. To mount the DVI DL 201 Rx through a desk or podium, use the optional Extron MBD 129 through-desk mounting kit (PN 70‑077‑02), and follow these instructions: 1.

Installation, cont’d 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 (PN 26-616-01). The pin assignments for the DVI-I input connectors are shown in the table on the next page.

Installation, cont’d Twisted pair output/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.

Installation, cont’d Single Link/Dual Link DVI Dual Link DVI carries signals at resolutions up to 2560x1600 @ 60 Hz. Single Link DVI carries signals at resolutions up to 1920x1200 @ 60 Hz.
DDC switches When the DVI-D source device boots up, it uses the Display Data Channel (DDC), a two-way 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.
Installation, cont’d Control pass-through The DVI DL 201 Tx/Rx cannot be controlled by RS-232 or IR controls. However, they are able to pass signals from a control device to a remote device that is controlled by those signals. N Tx Rx The RS-232 and IR communications are via a passive pass-through only; the transmitter and receiver neither generate nor respond to these signals. Use the three-pole, 3.5 mm captive screw connector on the transmitter to input RS‑232 or IR signals from a control device.
RS-232 signals RS-232 signals are bidirectional — signals pass from the control device and replies return from the remote device.
Installation, cont’d Power input 1. Connect the captive screw connector from the supplied 12 VDC power supply into the power receptacle. Twisted pair cable 2, pin 5 carries a 12 VDC power signal. This remote powering feature allows a single power supply, connected to the transmitter, to power both the transmitter and receiver. C POWER 12V 0.4A MAX Power supply voltage polarity is critical. Incorrect voltage polarity can damage the power supply, the transmitter, and/or the receiver.
DVI DL 201 Tx/Rx 3 Chapter Three Configuration and Operation Configuration Setup and Operation Troubleshooting
Configuration and Operation 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. The DVI DL 201 Tx/Rx uses Extron's EDID Minder, which allows the user to store and use EDID from any display device.
10. Power up the transmitter and the receiver. A single power supply can provide power to both units through the remote power connection. 11. Connect the remote display to the receiver output. A local monitor display can also be connected to the transmitter output at this time. 12. Connect the DVI source to the transmitter input. 13. Check that the transmitter switches are in the positions described in steps 4-6. 14. Power on the DVI source device.
Configuration and Operation, cont’d 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. 2. Connect the source device to the transmitter input. EDID MINDER DEFAULT EDID REMOTE DDC Using pass-through mode with DDC routed to a local monitor ON ON OFF 1 2 3 3.
Using pass-through mode with DDC routed to the remote display This is the factory default setting. N Although DDC can be routed to the remote display, there may be instances when the signals become corrupted or weak. In those cases, the source device may be unable to boot up correctly. 1. Set the EDID Minder switch to the off (down) position and the Remote DDC switch to the on (up) position (see the figure at right). The position of the Default EDID switch is not relevant.
Configuration and Operation, cont’d Setup 1. Determine which source will be used for the EDID information and configure the DDC switches appropriately (see pages 3-2 to 3-5). If necessary, use the EDID Minder to read and store information from a display (see pages 3-2 to 3-3). 2. Prepare twisted pair cables (see "Terminating shielded cable" on page 2-14). 3. Connect the transmitter to the receiver (see "Connections" on page 2-15) 4.
Insure all three twisted pair cables are firmly seated in the correct receptacles. No output signal or poor quality signal — Check the integrity of the UTP or STP cables between the transmitter and the receiver. N 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.
Configuration and Operation, cont’d Display device displays a flashing black or blue screen, snow, or other distortion — A device that is not High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) compliant may be receiving HDCP-encrypted signals. The DVI DL 201 Tx/Rx is compatible with HDCP signals only when the EDID Minder is disabled. HDCP signals can be passed through to only one display (remote or local) and only that display shows the signal correctly.
