There are two subsets of transmitters and receivers in two 

different enclosures or form factors:

  •  DVI 201 Tx/Rx —

 These units are housed in quarter rack 

width metal enclosures.  They can be set on a tabletop 

or mounted in a rack, under or through furniture, or to a 

projector pole.  The transmitter in this form factor has a 

local monitor output.

N

 

The non-Decora

®

 models do not input, transmit, receive, 

or output audio.

  •  DVI 201 A D Tx/Rx —

 These units are housed in 

enclosures that can be mounted in UL standard wall boxes 

with Decora-style face plates.  These units also convert 

computer level audio to balanced or unbalanced stereo 

audio.

N

 

•  A non-Decora transmitter or receiver is partially 

compatible with a Decora receiver or transmitter.

 

A mixed form factor system 

can

 transmit and receive 

video and RS-232 communications.

•  A mixed form factor system 

cannot

 handle audio, 

as the non-Decora models do not input, transmit, 

receive, or output audio.

The units can be purchased as a pair (of the same form factor) 

or individually.  Each purchased pair and each individual 

transmitter is shipped with a single external desktop 12 VDC 

power supply that accepts 100 to 240 VAC, 50 Hz or 60 Hz input.  

A single power supply connected to either the transmitter or the 

receiver can power both units through one of the TP cables that 

link the units.

About this Manual

This manual contains information about the Extron 

DVI 201 family of Digital Visual Interface (DVI) video 

transmitters (Tx) and receivers (Rx), including how to install, 

operate, and configure them.

About the DVI 201 Transmitters and Receivers

The Extron DVI 201 is a family of DVI transmitters and 

receivers, in enclosures that support different mounting options.  

A transmitter and receiver pair extends the usable distance of 

DVI digital video and RS-232 control signals over two Category 

(CAT) 5/5e/6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted 

pair (STP) cables.  The DVI 201 A D transmitter and receiver also 

route audio, 

but not on the TP link

.  The video and control (and 

audio, if applicable) signals can be transmitted up to 200' (60 m).

Figure 1-1 — Typical transmitter and receiver application

A DVI 201 system consists of a transmitter (Tx) and a receiver 

(Rx).  The pair can handle a single link of DVI-D digital video 

and a bi-directional RS-232 link.  The DVI 201 A D also converts 

a computer audio input into balanced or unbalanced stereo 

audio output.
