This guide describes the Extron DTP HDMI 230 Long Distance High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) Twisted Pair Extender, which consists of a DTP HDMI 230 Tx transmitter and a DTP HDMI 230 Rx receiver. This guide describes how to install, operate, and configure the transmitter and receiver.
The DTP HDMI 230 Tx/Rx units are housed in quarter rack width metal enclosures. They can be set on a tabletop or mounted in a rack, under or through furniture. The receiver can also be mounted on a projector bracket.
Installation and Operation This section describes the installation and the operation of the DTP HDMI 230 Tx/Rx Extender, including: • Mounting the Units • Connections • Operation Mounting the Units Mounting instructions and the can be found in Mounting the Transmitter or Receiver page 11.

• If you have removed the ground jumpers (see Disconnecting the Ground page 12) because of ground potential differences, the DTP HDMI 230 cannot extend analog audio. No analog audio is output. • The length of exposed wires is critical. The ideal length is 3/16 inch (5 mm).
Twisted pair recommendations Supported cables — The DTP HDMI 230 is compatible with CAT 5e, 6, 6a, and 7 shielded twisted pair (F/UTP, SF/UTP, and S/FTP) and unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) cable. Cable recommendations — Extron recommends using the following practices to achieve full transmission distances up to 230 feet (70 m) and reduce transmission errors.

If you have removed the ground jumpers (see Disconnecting the Ground page 12) because of ground potential differences, one DTP HDMI 230 unit cannot remotely power the other unit. Each unit requires a local power supply. Figure 9 shows how to wire the connector. Use the supplied tie-wrap to strap the power cord to the extended tail of the connector.

The 1-inch high, quarter rack width DTP HDMI 230 transmitter or receiver can be placed on a table, mounted in a rack, or mounted under a desk or table. The receiver can also be mounted on a projector bracket.
If you cannot resolve a ground potential difference between the transmitter and receiver installation sites, remove the ground connection between the units as follows: NOTE: Once you have removed the ground jumpers, the DTP HDMI 230 cannot extend analog audio and one unit cannot remotely power the other. No analog audio is output and each unit requires a local power supply.
