HDAV MDVI-C5 Direct Plug DVI Digital Video CAT5-RJ45 Mini Extender Kit
INTRODUCTION
The MDVI-CS DirectPlug DVI Digital Video CATS/RJ4S Mini-Extender Kit extends your PC DVI transmission distance up to 30m (100ft) with a resolution 1024×768 @60Hz. With MDVI-CS, users can transmit high-quality digital video of PC applications through one cost effective Cat-Sefij cable to the remote monitor or projector, instead of using short and expensive DVI cables. With embedded EDID inside the extender, your PC will continue to send the digital video even when the monitor is not connected. The user can then disconnects the monitor, place it in a remote location and reconnect it without rebooting the operating system. The MDVI-CS includes two identical units: transmitting and receiving units. The transmitting unit is connected to your PC DVI output and the receiving unit is connected to the monitor or projector. While successfully connected, the two LED lights on each RJ-4S connector will blink. The transmission distance between the transmitting and receiving units can be up to 30m (100ft) under XGA (1024×768@60Hz) or lSm (S0ft) under UXGA (1600×1200@60Hz). With compact size and requiring no power, MDVI-CS is the most cost-effective choice for bringing your impressive digital video to the remote display.
Features
- DVI 1.1 compliant
- Handy DVI-D to RJ-4S adapters with programmable EDID feature
- Extend the transmission length from the sources up to 30m (100ft) under XGA (1024×768@60Hz) or lSm (S0ft) under UXGA (1600×1200@60Hz)
- Identical units work at both transmitting and receiving end. Easy to install.
- No external power required
- Compact size
- Direct plug-in
- Perfectly integrated with other DVI over CATS series products
The length depends on the characteristics and quality of the cables. Higher resolutions and longer transmission distances require low skew cables ( <25ns/10om) for best performance. Unshielded CAT6 with metal RJ-45 connectors is recommended.

INSTALLATION
- Connect one of the MDVI-CS to your DVI source.
- Connect the other MDVI-CS to your DVI display.
- Connect a Cat-Se/6 cable between the DVI source and display with the MDVI-CS.
- The installation is done.
NOTICE
- The MDVI-CS may not be compatible with the DVI sources and displays that feature resolutions, not in the aspect ratio of 4:3, 16:9 and 16:10.
- All DVI over CATS transmission distances are measured using Belden 1583A CATSe 125MHz UTP cable and ASTRO DESIGN Video Signal Generator VG-859C.
- The transmission length is largely affected by the type of Cat-5/Se/6 cables, the type of HDMI sources, and the type of HDMI display. The testing result shows solid UTP cables (usually in the form of 300m [1,000ft] bulk cables) can transmit a lot longer signals than stranded UTP cables (usually in the form of fixed-length patch cords). Shielded STP cables are better suited than unshielded UTP cables. A solid UTP Cat-Se cable shows longer transmission range than stranded STP Cat-6 cable. For long extension applications, solid UTP/STP cables are the only viable choice.
- EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) for Cat-Se/6 cables is recommended for better performance.
- To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in Cat-5/Se/6 cables, use double-shielded STP cables to improve EMI problems, which is worsen in long transmission.
- Because the quality of the CATS/6 cables has a major effect on how long the transmission limit can achieve and how good is the received picture quality, the actual transmission range is subject to one’s choice of Cat-5/Se/6 cables. For desired resolutions greater than 1080i or 1280×1024, a Cat-6 cable is recommended.
