CONNECTING THE DVI 1600HD EXTENDER

How to Connect the DVI 1600HD Extender

1.Connect the DVI or HDMI (using a HDMI to DVI adapter/cable) to the DVI 1600HD Extender sending unit using a user supplied cable.

NOTE: If the source device is a HDMI device that requires HDCP, please set the DVI/HDMI mode selector switch to HDMI. The unit’s distance will be limited to 650 feet (200 meters) on 4 LC single or multi-mode fiber optic cables while in this mode.

2.Connect up to 3 audio sources to the sending unit using user supplied cables. Input options are as follows:

Analog stereo using one pair of RCA analog stereo cables. Digital coaxial using one S/PDIF digital coaxial audio cable. Digital optical using one TOSLINK digital optical audio cable.

3.Optionally, connect an RS-232 device to the sender unit using a user supplied RS-232 cable.

NOTE: The DVI 1600HD Extender system will not cross the transmit and receive lines as a null-modem adapter would. All pins will pass straight through from one point to the other.

4.Connect 2 pairs (4 strands) of LC terminated single or multi-mode fiber optic cables to the sender unit. Connect the opposite ends of the fiber optic cabling to the receiver unit’s fiber optic receptacles.

5.Connect a DVI or HDMI (using a DVI to HDMI adapter/cable) capable device to the DVI output of the DVI 1600HD Extender receiving unit using a user supplied cable.

6.Connect up to 3 of the audio outputs to audio receiving devices. Available outputs are as follows:

Analog stereo using one pair of RCA analog stereo cables. Digital coaxial using one S/PDIF digital coaxial audio cable. Digital optical using one TOSLINK digital optical audio cable.

NOTE: All outputs are active regardless of the selected input on the sender. However, multi-channel content that is being sent by the digital connectors will not be output by the analog stereo output.

7.Optionally, connect an RS-232 device to the receiver unit using a user supplied RS-232 cable.
