About the DVI 101 and HDMI 101 Cable
Equalizers
The Extron DVI 101 and HDMI 101 are compact, economical
cable equalizers that extend Digital Visual Interface (DVI) and
High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) signals beyond
the specified cable limits of 15' (5 m) for DVI and 45' (14 m) for
HDMI.
The DVI 101 and HDMI 101 attach to the end of a long cable run
of up to 200' (61 m). They automatically provide the necessary
active equalization to ensure optimal image quality with
HDTV 1080p and high resolution computer video signals up to
1920x1200. They are ideal for both temporary applications and
permanent installations with long DVI or HDMI cable runs.
•
The DVI 101 passes Extended Display Identification
Data (EDID) information and supports the long distance
transmission of HDTV signals with High-bandwidth
Digital Content Protection (HDCP) for copy protection of
digital television broadcasts and high resolution digital
video output from DVD, HD DVD, and Blu-rayDisc ™
players.
With the appropriate adapters from Extron, the DVI 101 is
fully compatible with the HDMI digital video, audio, and
control standard for audio/video products.
• The HDMI 101 is fully HDMI-compliant for extending
digital video, multi-channel audio, and control signals
from HDMI-equipped devices. It is also HDCP compliant,
enabling long distance transmission of HDTV signals with
HDCP.
With the appropriate adapters from Extron, the HDMI 101
is fully compatible with the DVI digital video, audio, and
control standard for audio/video products.
At shorter distances, the DVI 101 and HDMI 101 can be powered
by the source device via the DVI or HDMI cable, eliminating the
external power supply. See the "Recommended maximum cable
lengths" table on page 2-8 for these distances.
