Important extension distance Information

Recommended cables are CAT7 shielded foiled twisted pairs:

• Daetwyler 7702 Flexible patch cable
• Daetwyler 7120 Bulk cable

Category 6a (or better) shielded twisted pair cable must be used to connect the transmitter and receiver units in order to maintain compliance with radio frequency energy emission regulations and ensure a suitably high level of immunity to electromagnetic disturbances.

 

Resolution	Frequency	Patch Connections	Cable Type	Distance
1920×1200	60Hz	0	CAT7a	50 metres
1920×1200	60Hz	0	CAT6a (shielded)	50 metres
1920×1200	60Hz	2	CAT6a (shielded)	40 metres
1920×1200	60Hz	2	CAT7a	40 metres

Note: Distances are achieved using single lengths of trunk/bulk cable. For each break/patch connection reduce distance by 5 meters. Preferably patch cables should be of type CAT7 and less than 2 meters. Patch cables over 2 meters must be CAT7.

Pixel perfect digital video

ALDV100 uses an uncompressed communication system whereby the pixels of every frame are sent without loss. Resolutions up to 1920×1200 @60Hz (WUXGA) are supported. Additionally, the High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) of the HDMI standard is supported.

Up to 50 meters over a single CATx cable

Video, audio and power all pass along a single cable, providing a maximum of 50 meters extension. The actual achievable extension distance is dependent upon the CATx cable type used and the number of connection breaks for patch panels and wall plates. Please see the table on reverse for details.

Highly energy efficient – No external power supplies are required

The AdderLink DV100 is designed to be highly power efficient, using less than an eighth of the power required by some competing systems. By harvesting power from a standard USB socket, no external PSUs are needed and hence the support infrastructure required is kept to an absolute minimum.

Digital audio

Supports eight channels of HDMI audio. Mix-n-match The whole AdderLink DV family of extenders share a common advantage of cross connection. The HDMI transmitters (ALDV100T) of the family can seamlessly be connected to the DVI-D receivers (ALDV120R) and vice versa.

EDID management

The system has intelligent EDID management to allow the true characteristics of the display to be passed back to the computer.
