/ Introduction
The Cat5 DVI-D Expander system consists of a Transmitter and one or
more Transceivers. The system can extend DVI-D signals over Cat5/5e/6
cable. By cascading Transceivers it is possible to extend the DVI-D signals
with almost unlimited capacity.
By taking advantage of low-cost Cat5/5e/6 FTP cable, the Cat5 DVI-D
Expander can simplify installation and save cost. With its unlimited
cascading capacity you can extend your digital video displays almost
anywhere. To simplify installation the Transmitter and Transceiver units are
fitted with a magnetic pad enabling them to be quickly attached to metal
surfaces. A screw xing plate is also included for permanent installations.
The Cat5 DVI-D Expander system is perfect for digital signage and public
information display applications where crystal-clear, high-resolution digital
video needs to be shown without distance limitations and with reduced
installation costs.

/ Installation and Operation
1. Install DVI-E102T Transmitter:
(1) First Time Set-up: Turn off the DVI output device (PC or DVD Player) and
monitors.
(2) Device Connection: Connect local DVI monitor (M1) to the “DVI/M1 OUT”
of the transmitter and take the DVI-HDMI cable, plug HDMI end to “INPUT”
port of transmitter and the other end of the cable to PC/Player’s DVI-D
video port.
(3) Connect the power adaptor to the “5VDC” and plug into the power outlet.
(4) System Turn On: Turn on your DVI output device and monitor to conrm
the functionality of the display. The “M1 LINK” LED of the Transmitter
should display orange to conrm the connection of a local DVI monitor.
(5) Remote monitors: Make sure the remote monitor(s) to be connected to the
DVI-E102TR Transceiver can display the broadcast video resolution.
(6) EQ Adjustment: In most of the cases, you can adjust the EQ control to
Auto mode by rotating the EQ control anticlockwise. The “EQ” and ”Auto”
LEDs will display blue. If noise or an unstable image is seen on the local
DVI monitor it indicates the DVI signal received by the Transmitter needs to
be adjusted. Adjust the EQ control for best image display quality. The “EQ”
and ”Auto” LEDs will turn off to indicate manual EQ mode.
(7) EDID Simulation: The transmitter has built in an EDID simulator. When a
local DVI monitor is connected to transmitter it will automatically record
the EDID data from the DVI monitor. When a local DVI monitor is not
connected the transmitter, it will simulate the EDID data and activate the
DVI signal at the PC/player.
2. Install DVI-E102TR Transceiver:
(1) Connect DVI monitor’s DVI cable to the receiver and turn on the monitor.
(2) Plug power adaptor to DVI-E102TR, the “PWR” LED and “M1 LINK” will
turn ON, the other “LINK” LED should turn off, since there is no input of
video signal from “LINK IN” port.
(3) EQ Adjustment: In most of the cases, you can adjust the EQ control to Auto
mode by rotate the EQ to the left side and the “EQ” and ”Auto” LEDs will
turn on blue. After connecting the expander system, if you can see some
dynamic dots or unclear image on the DVI monitor, it reects the DVI signal
received by Transmitter need to be adjusted. Then you can adjust the EQ
control for better image display, it will turn the EQ into manual mode, the
“EQ” and ”Auto” LED will turn off to indicate the manual EQ mode.
3. Selection of Cat5/5e/6 cable:
(1) Most makes and versions of current Cat5/5e/6 cables will work with the
DVI-E102T Transmitter and DVI-E102TR Transceivers. However since the
quality and characteristics of Cat5/5e/6 cable varies it has been found that
some perform better than others, even if they cost lower. The major factor
influencing the transmitting distance is the skew property of the cables.
Skew represents the difference in propagation delay between the fastest
and slowest set of wire pairs. A lower skew will mean a longer video
transmitting distance.

(2) A Cat5/5e/6 cable with a skew lower than 15ns/100m should enable a
cascading length of <80m. at 800 x 600 resolution, <50m. at 1024 x 768
resolution and <40m. at 1280 x 1024 resolution. Some cable types may
not have a known skew so it is best to test for maximum practical distances
before starting the installation.
(3) For some installations where the potential for interference exists the FTP
type of Cat5/5e/6 cable is recommended.
(4) The RJ-45 terminations to the Cat5/5e/6 cable must be made to the EIA
568B specications.
(5) Connecting the Cat5/5e/6 cable: Plug one end of the cable to the
Transmitter’s “LINK IN/OUT” port and the other end to the Transceiver’
s RJ-45 “LINK IN/OUT” port. The monitor connected to the Transceiver
should now display and the “LINK” LED should turn green to indicate the
DVI signal activation. Adjust the “EQ” control for best quality DVI display.

4. Extending Audio Signals:
The DVI-E102T Transmitter and DVI-E102TR Transceiver are not able to
extend audio signals. Use a pair of Databay DVS-AR Audio Extenders with
4-wire phone cable and RJ-11 connectors to extend the audio.
5. Install More Transceivers and Displays:
(1) Using additional DVI-E102TR Transceivers and Cat5/5e/6 cable it is
possible to extend the system almost indenitely to remote DVI-D displays.
For a large group of cascaded Transceivers, please ensure common
grounding is maintained to minimize ground-loops and interference.
(2) A DVI-D splitter or distribution amplier may be used at each DVI-D output
to drive additional local DVI-D displays.
