The Extron HDMI 201 A D is an architecturally friendly solution for extending HDMI signals along with RS-232 control signals long distances over standard CAT 5-type cables. The transmitter and receiver units work together to send HDTV 720p and 1080i signals over 200 feet (60 meters), and HDTV 1080p/60 over 100 feet (30 meters).
The cabling between the transmitter and receiver is hidden behind walls and ceilings, providing a clean, aesthetically attractive HDMI transmission solution for residential environments. The HDMI 201 A D uses a single-gang white or black Decora®-style faceplate for easy installation wherever you need it.
Twisted Pair Cables for Transmission
The HDMI 201 A D can be used with standard CAT 5e cables to extend 1920x1200 and HDTV 1080p/60 signals up to 100 feet (30 meters). However, when used with Extron DTP26 Shielded Digital Twisted Pair Cable, these signals can be extended up to 150 feet (45 meters). Extron DTP26 cables are specially designed for superior digital signal transmission performance, featuring an S/FTP design with individually foil wrapped conductor pairs and overall braided shield for noise immunity and low crosstalk.
Decora-Style Form Factor
Since the HDMI 201 A D transmitter and receiver units are Decora-style wall plates, they mount easily wherever you need them and match the appearance of other wallplates in the room. The cabling between them is hidden behind walls and ceilings, providing a clean, aesthetically attractive HDMI transmission solution that is tailor-made for residential environments.
Installer-Friendly Features
The HDMI 201 A D is designed with several features to help facilitate integration into A/V installations. RS-232 signals from a control system can be transmitted over the same CAT 5-type cabling alongside the HDMI signals to provide control for a projector or flat panel display. A LED indicator on both the transmitter and receiver provides a quick means of verifying power and signal presence. The CAT 5 cable link can also be used for power between the units, so that only one location would require an external power source.
