1. Introduction
Dear Customer,
Thank you for choosing Lightware DVI-TP series transmitters and receivers. DVI-
TP-TX200/TX300 and DVI-TP-RX100 are Single Link DVI over Twisted Pair
extenders which allow video signals of up to 1920x1200@60Hz or
2048x1080@60Hz resolution to be transmitted through 50 meters of high quality
CAT7 cables.

2.2. Transmitter features (DVI-TP-TX200 and TX300)
Advanced EDID Management – The user can emulate any EDID on the DVI-TP-
TX200/TX300’s input, read out and store any monitor's EDID
(attached to Monitor Output) in 49 internal memory locations.
Green and red EDID status LEDs show whether a valid address
is selected.
Supports all HDTV resolutions – 720p, 1080i and 1080p etc without HDCP
enoding. Unencrypted signals with up to 165 MHz pixel clock
frequency - regardless of the resolution - are passed through.
Source and Monitor Connected LEDs – Two LEDs indicate when a DVI source
and display device is connected to the DVI-TP-TX200/TX300:
the source is sending +5V signal and the display is sending Hot
Plug signal.
Local Monitor Output – The user can attach a local monitor to observe the video
signal sent through the CATx cables. The resolution and clock
frequency are the same on DVI and RJ45 connector(s), no
internal scaling or conversion is applied to the signal.
Dual CATx outputs (TX300 only) – A built-in distribution amplifier provides the
signal for two identical CATx outputs.
Front panel control – EDID Address selection with two decimal rotary switches
and Learn EDID button are available for Advanced EDID
Management.
Fiber cable support – Self powered DVI fiber cables using +5V from DVI sources
(VGA cards, etc.) usually consume more than 55 mA, which
load is the maximum allowed by DVI 1.0 standard. DVI-TP-
TX200/TX300 supports +5V/500 mA constant current output on
MONITOR OUTPUT to power fiber optical transmitters.
Universal power adaptor – DVI-TP-TX200/TX300 is equipped with a universal
+5V power adaptor, which accepts AC voltages from 100 to 240
Volts with 50 or 60 Hz line frequency.
