Key Features

Long-Distance Extension: Extends DVI signals up to 230 feet (70 meters) over a single CAT-6A cable or up to 200 feet (60 meters) over a single CAT-5e cable.

 

High-Definition Video: Supports resolutions up to 1080p Full HD and 1920x1200 (WUXGA), ensuring clear and detailed image quality.

 

Simplified Integration: Features EDID management for rapid integration of the source and display, ensuring a quick and seamless setup.

 

Advanced Signal Management: Provides convenient Enable/Disable switches for both HDCP and HPD pass-through for enhanced troubleshooting and compatibility.

 

Secure Power Connection: Includes locking power supplies for both the sender and receiver units to prevent accidental disconnection.

 

Flexible Installation: The compact enclosures are surface-mountable, allowing for secure installation in a variety of professional environments.

How It Works

The DVI ELR Lite Extender system operates with two main components: a Sender unit and a Receiver unit. First, connect your DVI source, such as a computer, to the DVI In port on the Sender unit. Then, connect the Receiver unit's DVI Out port to your remote display using another DVI cable. The Sender and Receiver are then linked together using a single CAT-5e or better network cable. This connection can extend up to 200 feet (60 meters) if using CAT-5e, or up to 230 feet (70 meters) with a CAT-6A cable. To complete the setup, attach the included 5V DC locking power supplies to both the Sender and Receiver units and plug them into available electrical outlets.
