DVS-400 extends any DVI-D signal up to 220 feet to four
displays and one local screen using Cat6 cabling while
retaining perfect image quality at resolutions up to
1920 x 1200. SmartAVI, Inc.’s DVS-400 allows you to
extend a DVI-D signal to up to four remote displays via one
small unit that also loops a signal back to your computer so
local monitoring is possible and simple.
A great example would be a retail shop running its digital
signage from a computer in its back ofce; using the
DVS-400, a media le or group of les could be broadcast
to up to four screens situated around the store while also
being viewed locally on that computer’s monitor.
Quite simply, the outgoing DVI-D signal from your computer
is plugged into the DVS-400. This box has one input and
four outputs, so that your signal can be sent up to 220 feet
over inexpensive CAT6 cables to display screens anywhere
in your retail shop, lounge, etc. In addition to the four
outgoing signal ports, the unit also has a loop-back port
that goes back to your computer, so that you may monitor
exactly what is being broadcast to the remote screens. This
is all done from a single unit with one power supply.
On power-up, the DVS-400 reads and stores the EDID of
the DVI monitor connected to the local loop-back port. From
that point on, even if the local monitor is not attached to
the unit, its DDC is retained in the ash memory of the
DVS-400 unit and it will operate as if the monitor were
connected, offering unhindered use and simple exibility.
