How to Install SmartAVI DVX-200 DVI-D/PC CAT6 STP Transmitter

• Plan your layout: Position the DVX-200 transmitter near the source device (PC, Blu-ray player, or other DVI-D output). Ensure a clear path for the CAT6 STP run to the display location.
• Connect the source: Attach a DVI-D output cable from your source device to the DVX-200 transmitter’s DVI-D input port. Confirm the connection is secure and properly seated.
• Run the cable: Use a high-quality CAT6 STP cable to connect the transmitter to the DVX receiver located near the display. Keep the cable length within the supported 225-foot range for optimal performance.
• Connect the display: At the receiver/end, connect the DVI-D output from the receiver to your display using a DVI-D cable. Ensure the display is powered on and set to the correct input source.
• Power and test: Power both the transmitter and receiver (if separate power is required by the model). Power on the source and display, then verify the video appears without delay or artifacts. If issues arise, recheck cable seating and distance within the specified limit.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What video formats does the DVX-200 support?
  A: The DVX-200 is designed to transmit DVI-D video signals in up to 1080p resolution to a display, pairing with a compatible DVX receiver for full end-to-end transmission.
• Q: How far can I reliably extend the signal?
  A: Up to 225 feet (approximately 68.6 meters) when using CAT6 STP cabling, with performance optimized by proper shielding and cable quality.
• Q: Do I need to use CAT6 cables, or can I use CAT5?
  A: For best reliability and interference resistance, use CAT6 STP cables as recommended for the transmitter-receiver pair. While some installations may tolerate CAT5, CAT6 STP provides superior shielding and headroom.
• Q: Is HDCP or EDID support included?
  A: The DVX-200 focuses on extending DVI-D video; for HDCP/EDID behavior, refer to your source and display documentation and the corresponding DVX receiver capabilities to ensure compatibility in your environment.
• Q: Can I have multiple displays from a single source?
  A: The DVX-200 is designed to work with a compatible receiver in a point-to-point setup. For multi-display configurations, you would typically deploy additional transmitter/receiver pairs designed for multi-display distribution and ensure proper bandwidth and signaling constraints.
• Q: What is required to install this in a boardroom or classroom?
  A: A simple DVI-D source, a display or projector, a DVX receiver at the display end, shielded CAT6 STP cabling, and power for both units (as required by the model). The setup minimizes cable clutter while delivering reliable 1080p video across the room or building.
