DVI & USB EXTENDER

Second generation extender to transmit 

both full DVI video as well as transparent 

USB over a single CATx cable

FEATURES

Full single link DVI extender

The ADDERLink X-DVI PRO extender 

is designed to deliver full single link DVI 

digital video resolutions up to 165 MPixels 

per second. 165MPixels per second is the 

maximum data rate available on single 

link DVI connections, and is achieved 

without the need to compress data in any 

way. Resolutions supported by single link 

DVI range from 640x480 @ 60 Hz (25 

MPixels/s) through to 3840x2400 @ 17Hz 

(164 MPixels/s).

USB transparent connection

Alongside fully un-compressed DVI video, 

the ADDERLink X-DVI PRO also delivers 

bidirectional USB (low speed / full speed) 

data allowing you to extend any USB 

device over 50 meters on the same CATx 

cable. 

This makes the X-DVI PRO perfect for 

distributed workstations where you want 

to reduce environmental concerns such 

as heat and noise.  A typical example of 

this would be post production suites.  

By centralising your workstations, you 

can also extend operational life-span by 

ensuring optimal temperature control, and 

minimal physical disturbance.

Single CATx distribution

ADDERLink X-DVI PRO requires just 

one CATx (CAT7a recommended) cable. 

Other solutions available require two 

cables to carry DVI and DDC EDID. The 

X-DVIPRO delivers this alongside USB 

data over a single CATx cable. Dependent 

upon cable type, quality and connections 

distances may vary. See technical 

specification for detailed rules.

DVI-D digital video

The ADDERLink X-DVI PRO is specifically 

designed to carry digital video over 50 

meters. By maintaining the video in a 

purely digital domain, no loss of quality 

through D/A or A/D conversion will be 

experienced, ensuring the display output  

(LCD panel for example) is exactly the 

same as the signal produced by the display 

adapter (video card).

Extended profile DDC EDID

The ADDERLink X-DVI PRO carries 

extended profile DDC EDID data from 

your display device to the display adapter 

to ensure that your system is configured 

to deliver optimal video performance.  

The extended profile DDC EDID is 

particularly important when extending 

video to high performance display devices. 

This is essential for professional graphics 

users such as post production, broadcast, 

architecture, graphic design, medical 

imaging, CAD or any other applications 

where display performance is critical.

Interface/mains power options

The ADDERLink X-DVI PRO transmitter 

can be powered directly via the USB link, 

reducing cable clutter. If you prefer, a 

mains power adapter is also available.
