N
In this manual, the terms "HDMI 201,"
"HDMI 201 Tx," "HDMI 201 Rx," "transmitter," and
"receiver" refer to the applicable unit(s) in either form
factor, unless otherwise specified.
TP cable advantages
Twisted pair cable is much smaller, lighter, more exible, and
less expensive than coaxial or HDMI cable. These transmitter
and receiver twisted pair (TP) products make cable runs simpler
and less cumbersome. Termination of the cable with RJ-45
connectors is simple, quick, and economical.
N
The transmitter and receiver pair works with unshielded
twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables;
but, to ensure FCC Class A and CE compliance, STP
cables are required.
N
Do not use Extron’s UTP23SF-4 Enhanced Skew-Free
™
A/V UTP cable to link the transmitter and receiver.
Skew-free A/V cable was designed for most Extron
TP transmitter/receiver applications, but the
HDMI201Tx/Rxdoesnotworkproperlywiththis
cable.
Control communications
The RS-232 and/or infrared (IR) communications are via a
passive pass-through only; the transmitter and receiver do not
generate or respond to these signals.
Transmission distance
The maximum transmission distance is determined by the
resolution of the signal and the TP cable that is used.
WithCAT5/5e/6/7UTPcable, the Tx/Rx pair can transmit
and receive 720p and 1080i HDTV or XGA video signals up to
200' (60 m) and 1080p HDTV or UXGA video up to 100' (30 m).
WithCAT5/5e/6/7STPcable, the Tx/Rx pair can transmit
and receive 720p and 1080i HDTV or XGA video signals up to
200' (60 m) and 1080p HDTV or UXGA video up to 125' (38 m).

cables— Standard twisted pair cables provide an
economical, easily installed cable solution.
Longdistancetransmission—
CAT5/5e/6/7UTPcable— Accommodates 720p and
1080i HDTV or XGA video up to 200' (60 m), and
1080p HDTV or UXGA (1600 x 1200) up to 100' (30 m).
CAT5/5e/6/7STPcable— Accommodates 720p and
1080i HDTV or XGA video up to 200' (60 m), and
1080p HDTV or UXGA (1600 x 1200) up to 125' (38 m).
SupportsDDCandHDCPcopyprotectiontransmission—
The Tx/Rx pairs fully support long distance transmission
of the DDC and HDCP signals.
Controlcommunicationspass-through— Bidirectional RS-232
or IR control signals can be transmitted alongside the
HDMI signal, so that the remote display can be controlled
without the need for additional cabling.
Audiorouting— The HDMI 201 A D Tx/Rx also routes
unbalanced stereo audio when bothunits are the Decora
form factor.
