DVI Extender: Extends DVI Video long distances over Cat5/Cat6 cables

A DVI Extender is used to extend the distance a DVI display can be located from a DVI-based computer. It uses CAT 5 cables for connecting the input and output devices and delivers crisp, clear images with no loss of signal. High resolutions up to 1920x1200 are supported by these devices. A local transmitter is placed next to the video source and a receiver is placed next to the display device and the two are connected via UTP or STP cables. Since these devices transmit signals over the CAT5e cables, they not only are inexpensive but also eliminate the usual clutter associated with standard DVI cables. This CAT5 DVI Extender is easy to use and install and works on the plug and play principle. They are available in a point to point version as well as 2, 4 and 8 port splitter units. Power adapters are included and are only required at the remote location. Many other varieties of this extender unit are also available on the market today including the single link DVI over fiber and DVI dual link fiber optic extender. While the former supports a resolution of 1080p/1900 x 1200, the latter supports up to 2560 x 1600 often seen and required in medical imaging environments. These single and dual link fiber products are capable of reaching even greater distances than the Cat5 units. CAT5 DVI Extender unit also has the necessary CE, RoHS and FCC regulatory approvals and are compatible with all operating systems. They are equipped with LEDs which indicate the DVI activity and operate at a video amplifier bandwidth of 1.65 GHz. The point to point units have an input for one DVI-D connection while the splitter units include DVI video and stereo audio connections in addition to a local DVI port on the transmitter. An ideal solution for a wide range of applications where the local image has to be displayed at one or more remote locations, the DVI Extender is used in call centers, airports, financial institutions, restaurants, hospitals, digital signage applications, exhibitions, trade shows, military and government facilities.
