OVERVIEW
DVS-200 extends any DVI-D signal up to 220 feet to two displays and one local
screen using Cat6 cabling while retaining perfect image quality at resolutions
up to 1920 x 1200. SmartAVI, Inc.’s DVS-200 allows you to extend a DVI-D
signal to up to two remote displays via one small unit that also loops a
signal back to your computer so local monitoring is possible and simple. A
great example would be a retail shop running its digital signage from a
computer in its back office; using the DVS-200, a media file or group of files
could be broadcast to up to two screens situated around the store while also
being viewed locally on that computer’s monitor. Quite simply, the outgoing
DVI-D signal from your computer is plugged into the DVS-200. This box has one
input and two outputs, so that your signal can be sent up to 220 feet over
inexpensive CAT6 cables to display screens anywhere in your retail shop,
lounge, etc. In addition to the two outgoing signal ports, the unit also has a
loop-back port that goes back to your computer, so that you may monitor
exactly what is being broadcast to the remote screens. This is all done from a
single unit with one power supply.
On power-up, the DVS-200 reads and stores the EDID of the DVI monitor
connected to the local loop-back port. From that point on, even if the local
monitor is not attached to the unit, its DDC is retained in the flash memory
of the DVS-200 unit and it will operate as if the monitor were connected,
offering unhindered use and simple flexibility
