DN-200 Series Overview
The DN-200 Series is the flagship product of the DisplayNet AV-over-IP product line. It leverages the latest SDVoE technology to distribute uncompressed AV signals with resolutions of up to 4K /60p (4:4:4) over a 10GbE Ethernet network. The DN-200 Series offers support for HDMI 4K /60p with up to 12-bit color, HDCP 2.2, DisplayPort 1.2, as well as High-Speed USB 2.0 with virtual hub support. A high-performance scaler in both the Transmitter (Tx) and Receiver (Rx) units enables very Fast Switching, Advanced MultiViewer, and Advanced Video Wall processing.
The TX unit accepts multiple source signals including HDMI (with embedded audio and HDCP), DisplayPort, analog stereo audio, bidirectional IR, RS-232, and 1GbE Ethernet. These input signals are packetized into a single 10GbE link and are distributed to destinations using an off-the-shelf 10GbE network switch. The DN-200 Series supports twisted pair (CAT6a or CAT7) media up to 328 ft. (100 meters), as well as Fiber Optic media using an industry standard SFP+ module supporting extension distances up to 30 KM (18 miles). The 10GbE switch provides a highly efficient and reliable means of distributing AV signals from many sources to an array of Rx units, which convert the packetized 10GbE data to AV output signals at the destination in real time without introducing frame latency or any loss of image quality.
The DN-200 Series distributes video with resolutions up to 4K /60p with 8-bit color (4:4:4) and 4K /60p with 10-bit or 12-bit color (4:2:2 or 4:2:0) without image artifacts and without frame latency. When the video signal exceeds the bandwidth limits of 10GbE, very light compression (maximum ratio of about 1.4:1) is used. Video signals may be routed in Point-to-Point, Matrix Switching, Video Wall, and MultiViewer modes all in the same system. For optimum flexibility, each signal layer (Video, Embedded Audio, Downmixed Audio, Analog Audio, IR, RS-232, and 1GbE) can each be routed completely independently from one another. Advanced audio features are supported, including: networked audio, audio embedding, de-embedding and downmixing. The DN-225UD-TX supports Dante® digital audio, which can send Analog Stereo Audio, as well as de-embedded or downmixed HDMI audio to any Dante device using the 1GbE LAN Port.
DN-200 Series transmitter and receiver units are controlled by a DisplayNet Server® (DNS-20), which includes a powerful DisplayNet API Engine and DisplayNet Manager® web browser-based software that enables the system to be managed using any third-party controller using simple Telnet commands.

Note 1: Video signals will be transported uncompressed unless the bandwidth exceeds the limits of 10GbE. For video signals that exceed 10Gbps. of raw data, mathematically lossless compression is employed. For the maximum resolutions shown above, the DN-200 Series employs a compression ratio of about 1.4:1.

Note 1: The 10GbE port is designed to connect to compatible DVIGear products and 10GbE network switches only. Do not connect any device to the 10GbE port of this product unless you are sure it is compatible.
Note 2: Video signals will be transported uncompressed unless the bandwidth exceeds the limits of 10GbE. For video signals that exceed 10Gbps. of bandwidth, light compression is employed. For the maximum resolutions shown above, the DN-200 Series employs a compression ratio of about 1.4:1.
Note 3: DN-200 Series uses lightweight compression for some high bit rate formats (e.g. 4K /60p), which adds a few extra lines of latency. For Fast Switch, Video Wall, and MultiViewer modes, a maximum of 2 frames of latency translates to not more than 33.3 msec. @ 60Hz and not more than 67.7 msec @ 30Hz.
Note 4: A system may operate concurrently in Matrix Switching, Video Wall, and MultiViewer modes.
Note 5: The DisplayNet Server is required for the majority of system configurations.
