Frequently Asked Questions - DVX-2PS Smart-AVI

What is the maximum resolution supported by the DVX-2PS?

The DVX-2PS supports resolutions up to 1920x1200 @ 60Hz, which covers full HD 1080p and WUXGA displays.

How far can I transmit video with the DVX-2PS?

Using standard Cat5e/6 cabling, the extender can transmit video up to 100 meters (328 feet) without signal degradation.

Does the DVX-2PS support audio?

Yes, it supports stereo analog audio via 3.5mm jacks on both the transmitter and receiver units.

What type of cable is required between the transmitter and receiver?

A Cat5e or Cat6 UTP (unshielded twisted pair) cable is required. Shielded (STP) cables may also work but are not necessary.

Is the DVX-2PS hot-pluggable?

Yes, the extender supports hot-plugging. However, it is recommended to power off both units when connecting or disconnecting cables to avoid damage.

How do I install the DVX-2PS?

Simply connect the transmitter to your video source (e.g., PC) using the included DVI cable, connect the receiver to your display, run Cat5e/6 cable between them, and plug in the power adapters. No drivers are needed.

Does the DVX-2PS require software drivers?

No, the extender is plug-and-play and does not require any software drivers for operation.

What is the power consumption of the DVX-2PS?

Each unit consumes approximately 2.5W (5V DC, 0.5A) under normal operation. The included adapters supply 5V DC, 1A.

Can I daisy-chain multiple DVX-2PS units?

No, daisy-chaining is not supported. Each extender pair operates as a point-to-point link. For multiple displays, use a separate transmitter per source.

What should I do if there is no video signal?

First, check that all cables are securely connected. Ensure the power LEDs on both units are lit. Verify your source is outputting a supported resolution. If using a long Cat5e/6 cable, test with a shorter cable to rule out cable issues. Contact support if the problem persists.
