About this Guide
This guide describes the Extron DTP DVI 301 Long Distance Digital Visual Interface (DVI)
Twisted Pair Extender, which consists of a DTP DVI 301 Tx transmitter and a DTP DVI 301
Rx receiver. This guide describes how to install, operate, and configure the transmitter and
receiver.
About the DTP DVI 301 Tx/Rx Transmitter and Receiver
The Extron DTP DVI 301 Tx/Rx transmitter and receiver pair (see figure 1) extends the usable
distance of DVI digital video, optional analog audio, and bidirectional RS-232 and infrared
(IR) control signals over one or two Category (CAT) 5e, CAT 6, and CAT 6a unshielded
twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables. The DTP DVI 301 can also extend
HDMI video, which may include embedded audio, with the appropriate adapters. The video,
audio, and control signals can be transmitted up to 330 feet (100 m).

Typical Transmitter and Receiver Application
The pair requires only one cable to transmit DVI digital video, embedded audio, and the
RS-232 and IR link. The pair requires a second cable to extend analog audio.
The DTP DVI 301 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, or to a projector pole.
The transmitter has a local monitor output.
