SmartAVI DVX200 Cat6 DVI Video Console/Extender

The DVX-200 from SmartAVI is an affordable, high-performance DVI-D video extension solution designed to send 1080p video up to 225 feet over standard CAT5e/CAT6 cables. Whether you’re outfitting a corporate boardroom, classroom, digital signage network, or home theater, this compact extender delivers a pristine, delay-free DVI-D signal over longer distances than traditional HDMI or DVI cable runs. By leveraging inexpensive network-grade cables, the DVX-200 simplifies room-to-room video deployments without compromising image quality or reliability.

• Extends DVI-D signals up to 225 feet using CAT5e/CAT6 cabling, enabling flexible placement of displays far from the video source while preserving full 1080p image quality and sharp color fidelity. This budget-friendly solution eliminates the need for expensive fiber or bulky multi-core runs, making it ideal for dense AV layouts or retrofits.
• Supports 1080p (1920x1080) full HD video with crisp detail and accurate color reproduction, ensuring presentations, lectures, digital signage, and home theater content look their best even at extended distances.
• Designed for low-latency, interference-free transmission so you won’t experience perceptible delay or frame drop as video travels over standard CAT cables in busy office or classroom environments. The DVX-200 prioritizes stable, reliable signal delivery for critical display applications.
• Compact, easy-to-install solution with simple cabling requirements. Connect the source to the transmitter, run a single CAT5e/CAT6 cable to the remote unit, then connect the remote to the display for a clean, tidy setup that’s ideal for temporary deployments or permanent installations alike.
• Versatile deployment options across a range of settings—from corporate conference rooms and training facilities to retail kiosks and home theater setups—thanks to broad compatibility with DVI-D sources and displays, and a streamlined form factor that blends with any environment.
