DVI extenders
Permit me to reply,
Our client purchased a Thinklogical DCS fiber switcher with the Vis 23 Transmitters and recievers.
The TX and Rx boxs can be joined by a ST fiber and work independently
but we wanted the system to work via a matrix... it worked out of the box in Vegas for the Latin Grammys and image quality was stunning.
the Txs all have a monitor loopthrough and store the EDID data-- they can also power via DVI
The Rx have two DVI outputs - perfect for hot backup projectors and have Multi voltage Powersupplys --- very usefull in USA with 208v projectors.
Control is ONLY via IP ----one slight down side is a lack of a confidence display on the DCS.... but i am talking to the tech team at Think Logical currently.
Currently its just sitting on the desk, but hopefully next week it will be intergrated into a rack with the Raid array and some other toys.
We use standard orange patch fibers for local runs (cheap) and purchased 300ft Mil spec 4 cores for the projector feeds ---shame they are Black ---look just like a dmx cable.
One thing i would add is that even though we could use a Cat - DCS -Screen path we will still have a whole pile of Image Pros in the system doing SDI feeds to Plasmas and OB trucks --- AND providing a confidence monitor.
blessed is the Image Pro and all who sail/fly with one
My collegue FOH (JR) has a SDI to DVI device that we were hoping to test on this show as a return back from the OB truck but play time is over... its show time..

IanH ---- as normal sitting round the back in the dark
PS ----RB is a God---
Miracle One ---Screen warping ---- september tour, 2 hours to show -- we need a screen --got screen and projector, rigged both after doors projector at least 25 degrees off access and over shooting ---catalyst warped image in perfectly in seconds and that included the phone call for advice on how.
oh we used an image pro on SDI input of cat to mix clients DVD and TXT computer
Miracle two. ---- Blending -- with over 30years experiance of wide screen i was a catalyst blending sceptic, Encore yes, Spyder yes.. But for the LGs we used dual outputs of 1920 with blending for a forty foot screen - well chuffed with the blend ---(the dust stayed on the blendpro box) --
feel free to ask if you need more info,
