3.0 Installation
The EMX-DVI connects between
the video source and an optional
display device.
Though designed to drive long
cables on its output, when used as
an extender, it is best to place the
EMX-DVI at the end of the long
cable. In that way, its automatic
equalizer can clean the output
signal and open the TMDS “eye”.

The DVI source may have enough power to power up the unit (particularly when configured in
Single-Link Mode), so connection to an external power supply would not be needed. The only
way to find out if a particular source can supply the required power is to try it. If a power
supply in deemed necessary, the package includes one that will plug to its USB port. When
the EMX-DVI USB port is connected to a PC, it draws power from the USB and no additional
power supply is needed.
Connect the video source to the EMX-DVI video input (50 ft or 15 meters max). Connect the
EMX-DVI video output to the display device (40 ft or 12 meters max).
The EMX-DVI LEDs show the current device settings. Refer to the operations section for more
information.
