INTRODUCTION With HDMI becoming more and more popular around the world, many consumers have been searching for a way to transmit HDMI signals over very long distances. The HDMI to Optical Transmitter and Receiver set which uses fiber optical cables will give you longer transmission distances (up to 300m) while also providing you with thinner, lighter cables for easier installation. With this system the HDMI signal is not compressed and is fully compliant with HDMI and HDCP. 2. APPLICATIONS • Digital signage, airport displays, advertising, video walls or special events • Surveillance systems 3. PACKAGE CONTENTS • HDMI to Optical Transmitter • Optical to HDMI Receiver • 2 x 5V DC Power Adaptors • Operation Manual 4. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS Input source devices such as DVD or Blu-ray players with HDMI cables and output display devices such as HDTVs and monitors equipped with HDMI ports. 5. FEATURES • HDMI v1.2, HDCP and DVI compliance • Long transmission distances - up to 300m or more • Thinner and lighter cables for easier, more discreet installations • Faster data transmission • Lower power consumption • Support the reading of EDID information 1 6. OPERATION CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS 6.1 Transmitter Front and Rear Panels 2 ERROR HDMI INPUT OPTICAL LINK OPTICAL DC 5V 3 4 5 6 HDMI LINK 1 1 HDMI LINK This blue LED will illuminate when at least one optical cable is connected and has successfully detected and sent, between the Transmitter and Reciever, a signal containing video or audio data. 2 ERROR This red LED will illuminate when there appears to be an error in the input signal data rate that is higher than 75MHz or the HDMI output signal is not compatible. 3 HDMI INPUT Connect to an HDMI input source such as a DVD or Blu-ray player with a HDMI cable. 4 OPTICAL LINK This blue LED will illuminate when the optical cable is connected and has successfully detected and communicated data between the Transmitter and Receiver. Note: If the LED is not illuminated then users will need to check the connection of the fiber cable between the Transmitter and Receiver units and then check the connection is good and that the cable itself is correct and undamaged. 5 OPTICAL Connect the Transmitter and Reciever units with fiber optical cable to transmit the data signal. Note: Connector Type: LC-LC, Fiber: Duplex Multi-mode Fiber 6 DC 5V Plug the 5V DC power supply into the unit and connect the adaptor to an AC outlet. The LED will switch on when the power cable is plugged in. 2 6.2 Receiver Front and Rear Panels 2 ERROR HDMI OUTPUT OPTICAL LINK OPTICAL DC 5V 3 4 5 6 HDMI LINK 1 1 HDMI LINK This blue LED will illuminate when at least one optical cable is connected and has successfully detected and sent, between the Transmitter and Receiver, a signal containing video or audio data. 2 ERROR This red LED will illuminate when there appears to be an error in the input signal data rate that is higher than 75MHz or the HDMI output signal is not compatible. 3 HDMI OUTPUT Connect to an HDMI Display device, such as a TV or monitor, with a HDMI cable. 4 OPTICAL LINK This blue LED will illuminate when the optical cable is connected and has successfully detected and communicated data between the Transmitter and Receiver.
