Introduction About this Manual This manual contains information about the Extron DVI 201 Tx/Rx and HDMI 201 Tx/Rx transmitter and receiver pairs, including how to install, operate, and configure them. N In this manual, the term "Tx/Rx" refers to either product. About the DVI 201 Tx/Rx and HDMI 201 Tx/Rx The Extron DVI 201 Tx/Rx is a Digital Visual Interface (DVI) transmitter/receiver set. The HDMI 201 Tx/Rx is a High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI™) transmitter/receiver set.
Introduction, cont’d Features Transmits single link DVI-D or HDMI signals over two CAT 5/5e/6/7 cables — Standard twisted pair cables provide an economical, easily installed cable solution. DVI 201 and HDMI 201 Tx/Rx Long distance transmission — CAT 5/5e/6 UTP cable — Accommodates 720p and 1080i HDTV or XGA video over 200' (60 m), and 1080p HDTV or UXGA (1600 x 1200) over 100' (30 m).
Installation Mounting the Tx/Rx C Installation and service must be performed by authorized personnel only. VersaTools Rack Shelf The 1" high, quarter-rack width transmitters and receivers can be placed on a tabletop, mounted on a rack shelf, mounted under a desk or tabletop, or mounted on a projector bracket. Tabletop placement Affix the four included rubber feet to the bottom of the transmitter or receiver unit and place it in any convenient location.
Installation and Operation, cont’d Under-furniture mounting The transmitter or receiver can be mounted under a table or other horizontal surface using an optional Extron MBU 125 under-desk mounting kit (part #70-077-01). Mount the transmitter or receiver under a desk or table as follows: 1. Through-furniture mounting The transmitter or receiver can be mounted through a desk or other furniture using an optional Extron MBD 129 through-desk mounting kit, part #70-077-02.
Installation and Operation, cont’d Slide the transmitter or receiver up and down in the mounting brackets until the face of the transmitter or receiver is at the desired height. Tighten the screws that secure the brackets in place. 5. If the screws are inaccessible to a screwdriver: Countoured Bracket Brace Side Mounting PLate U-Bolt Extron DVI 201 or HDMI 201 a. Mark the location of the brackets relative to the screws. Receiver b. Remove the transmitter or receiver from inside the furniture.
Installation and Operation, cont’d Place the U-bolt around the ceiling pole and insert the two legs of the U-bolt through the round holes on the contoured bracket base and then through the slotted holes on the bracket’s mounting plate. 5. N Assemble the U-bolt and the following parts in the following order (figure 2-8): 6. a. Pass the legs of the U-bolt through the slotted holes on the mount plate flange. The supplied U-bolt fits a typical (1.5" to 2.0" diameter) ceiling pole. b.

Installation and Operation, cont’d • 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.
