DTP HDMI 230 Tx/Rx Transmitter and Receiver • Introduction
2
The DTP HDMI 230 Tx/Rx 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. The receiver can
also be mounted on a projector bracket.
The transmitter is shipped with a single external desktop 12 VDC power supply that
accepts 100 to 240 VAC, 50‑60 Hz input. A single power supply connected to either the
transmitter or the receiver can power both units through the TP cable that carries HDMI video.
TP Cable Advantages
Twisted pair cable is much smaller, lighter, more flexible, and less expensive than coaxial
or HDMI cable. These transmitter and receiver twisted pair (TP) products make cable runs
simpler and less cumbersome. Termination of the cable with RJ‑45 connectors is simple,
quick, and economical.
NOTE: Do
not use Extron UTP23SF‑4 Enhanced Skew‑Free AV UTP cable or
STP201 cable to link the transmitter and receiver. The DTP HDMI 230 Tx/Rx does not
work properly with these cables.
Control Communications
The RS‑232 and IR communications are a passive pass‑through only. The transmitter and
receiver do not generate or respond to the RS‑232 and IR communication signals.
Features
Transmits single link HDMI signals over a single STP or UTP cable — Standard
twisted pair cables provide an economical, easily installed cable solution.
Long distance transmission — Extends video, audio, and control signals up to 230 feet
(70 m).
Supports Display Data Channel (DDC) transmission — The transmitter and receiver
pair fully supports long distance transmission of the DDC signals.
Control communications pass-through — Bidirectional RS‑232 and IR control signals
can be transmitted alongside the HDMI signal, so that the remote display can be controlled
without the need for additional cabling.
Supports Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) signal transmission
1-inch high, quarter rack width, metal enclosures — With low profile enclosures, the
transmitter and receiver can be discreetly installed in locations such as behind a plasma or
LCD flat‑panel display.
External 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, international power supply — One power
supply is included with the transmitter.
Remote powering of transmitter or receiver — Only one power supply is normally
necessary to power both devices.
