DVI and HDMI products from Extron enable a true digital-to-digital connection between computers or high definition video sources and displays that utilize Transition-Minimized Differential Signaling, or TMDS, digital video signals. TMDS is common to both the DVI - Digital Visual Interface, and HDMI - High Definition Multimedia Interface technologies now being implemented between computers or high definition video sources, and newer digital monitors and projectors.

DVI is commonly used to transmit high resolution, uncompressed digital RGB signals between computers and display devices. There are two types of DVI connectors: DVI-I, which supports digital as well as traditional, analog VGA signals; and DVI-D, which supports only the connection of digital signals. HDMI is backward-compatible with DVI and supports higher data rate speeds suitable for high definition motion video, as well as multi-channel audio, content protection, and consumer control capabilities. The HDMI connector supports digital signals in a 19-pin connector about one-half the size of the DVI connector. 

Each DVI and HDMI product serves a specific need in A/V systems where a digital video pathway is required. For example, HDMI to DVI adapters and cables ensure digital video connectivity from HDTV set-top boxes, graphics cards, and other sources to digital flat panel displays or data projectors. The DVI-RGB 150, on the other hand, converts DVI digital signals into analog RGB signals for convenient integration of digital video sources into conventional analog A/V systems.

Although DVI is a popular interface standard for high resolution digital video in A/V systems, it is limited by the maximum specified distance for transmission of 5 meters (15 feet). This limitation is due to its extremely high data rates, which degrade quickly over long cable distances. The newer HDMI specification supports a signal transmission distance of 23 meters, or 75 feet. For A/V system applications such as command and control centers, where the display must be located at a greater distance from the source, the distance limitations of DVI and HDMI are often insufficient. Extron offers products specifically designed to extend the transmission capability of DVI and HDMI signals, including active devices that can extend DVI and HDMI signals up to 200 feet (60 meters), and high performance DVI cables capable of distances up to 75 feet (22.8 meters).

The application diagram illustrates a DVI/HDMI transmitter and receiver set in a scenario extending a PC’s DVI signal output to a remote projector. The DVI/HDMI transmitter and receiver set sends DVI or HDMI signals over 200 feet via a pair of standard UTP cables such as CAT 5e or CAT 6. In addition, RS-232 signals may be transmitted over this UTP cable link to enable remote projector control. 

Various Types Available:

HDMI Extenders: Extron HDMI Extenders enable long distance transmission — up to 200 feet (60 m) — of HDMI signals.

DVI Extenders: Extron DVI Extenders enable long distance transmission — up to 330 feet (100 m) — of DVI or HDMI signals.

DVI Distribution Amplifiers: Extron DVI Distribution Amplifiers allow for a single DVI input source to be distributed to multiple DVI-capable displays.

Digital to Analog Converters: Extron Digital to Analog Converters provide a bridge between digital video sources and analog A/V systems by converting the DVI signal to an analog RGBHV signal.

DVI & HDMI Cables: Extron DVI and HDMI cables are ideal for connecting digital video sources to digital signal processing, distribution, and display devices.

DVI & HDMI Adapters: Extron offers several high quality adapters that provide a wide range of DVI and HDMI connectivity solutions for professional A/V installations.
