1.2 Introduction
The PT-E-DV30 DVI Extender over Single Cat.X with RS-232 & Audio (HDBaseT Interface) extends
your PC DVI transmission distance up to 100m (330ft) with resolution 1024x768@60Hz or 720p@60Hz.
With PT-E-DV30, users can transmit high quality digital video of PC applications through one cost effective
Cat-5/5e LAN cables to the remote monitor or projector, instead of using short and expensive DVI cables.
With embedded EDID inside the adapter, your PC will continue to send the digital video even when the
monitor is not connected. The user can then disconnects the monitor, place it in a remote location and
reconnect it without rebooting the operating system. Furthermore, PT-E-DV30 is equipped with a popular
serial control path RS-232. With high definition digital PC signal and serial control, PT-E-DV30 makes your
digital signage application with the upmost performance in pure digital domain.
The PT-E-DV30 includes two units: transmitting and receiving units. The transmitting unit is connected
to your PC DVI output and serial port, such as COM1, and the receiving unit is connected to the monitor
with serial control such as touch panels. While successfully connected, the two LED lights on the RJ45
connector will blink. The transmission distance between the sending (PT-E-DV30-TX) and receiving units
(PT-E-DV30-RX) can be up to 100m (330ft) at XGA (1024x768@60Hz) and at UXGA (1600x1200@60Hz).
With compact size, PT-E-DV30 is the most cost effective choice for bringing your impressive digital video to
the remote display.

—DVI 1.0 compliant
—EDID & HDCP Bypass
—Extends the transmission length from the sources up to 100m (330ft) at XGA (1024x768@60Hz) and
UXGA (1600x1200@60Hz)
—Auto equalization
—Supports HDTV resolutions & VESA standards
—Supports serial port RS-232 [TXD & RXD] control
—Direct plug-in at TX and wall-mounting with screws at RX
The length depends on the characteristics and quality of the cables. Higher resolutions and longer
transmission distances require low skew cables (<25ns/100m) for best performance. Unshielded CAT6
with metal RJ-45 connectors is recommended.

Section 3: Notice
1. All HDMI over CAT5 transmission distances are measured using Belden 1583A CAT5e 125MHz LAN
cable and Qutumdata.
2. The transmission length is largely affected by the type of LAN cables, the type of HDMI sources, and
the type of HDMI display. The testing result shows solid LAN cables (usually in bulk cable
300m/1000ft form) can transmit a lot longer signals than stranded LAN cables (usually in patch cord
form). Shielded STP cables are better suit than unshielded UTP cables. A solid UTP CAT5e cable
shows longer transmission length than stranded STP CAT6 cable. For long extension users, solid LAN
cables are your only choice.
3. EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) for LAN cables is recommended for better performance.
4. To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in LAN cable, you can use
shielded LAN cables to improve EMI problems, which is worsen in long transmission.
5. Because the quality of the LAN cables has the major effects in how long transmission distance will be
made and how good is the received display, the actual transmission length is subject to your LAN
cables. For resolution greater than 1080i or 1280x1024, a CAT6 cable is recommended.
