The DVI 201 A D supports the long distance transmission of HDTV signals with HDCP - High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection for copy protection of digital television broadcasts and high resolution digital video output from DTV tuners and DVRs, HD DVD, and Blu-ray Disc players. With the appropriate adapters from Extron, the DVI 201 A D is fully compatible with HDMI, a digital video, audio, and control standard for consumer A/V products.

Several features facilitate convenient, streamlined system integration. The DVI 201 A D supports transmission of balanced or unbalanced stereo audio signals, when a separate audio cable is installed between the transmitter and the receiver. RS-232 or IR signals from a third-party control system can also be transmitted over the same cabling as the DVI signals, for remote control of a projector or flat-panel display. An LED indicator provides a quick means of verifying power and signal presence. Furthermore, either the transmitter or receiver can be remotely powered over this cabling, so that external power is necessary for only one of the devices.

The DVI 201 A D transmitter and receiver are designed for wall-mounting with the included Decora-style wallplates. Both devices are also available separately, and may be matched with the standard desktop DVI 201 transmitter or receiver to suit the requirements of a specific application.

•  
• — Standard UTP/STP cables provide an economical, easily installed cable solution.

   

   

   

  — Utilization of STP - Shielded Twisted Pair cabling provides added protection from outside interference and increases overall signal transmission distances.

   

  — The DVI 201 A D can send balanced or unbalanced stereo audio signals that accompany the video, over a separate audio cable.

   

  — The DVI 201 A D fully supports long distance transmission of DDC and HDCP signals.

   

  — Only one power supply is necessary to power both devices.

   

   

  — Bi-directional RS-232 control or IR signals can be transmitted alongside the DVI or HDMI signals, so that the remote display can be controlled without the need for additional cabling.

   

  — Supports CEC Consumer Electronics Control signal transmission.

   

  — Enables mixing and matching of desktop and wallplate transmitters and receivers to meet application requirements.

   

  — The DVI 201 A D transmitter and receiver can be installed with a one-gang electrical box or Extron MR 100 Mud Ring, part # 70-519-12.

   

  — Provides worldwide power compatibility.
