Important Safety Instructions

Please read the supplied safety instruction document before using the product and keep it available for future reference.
The devices are Class 3R laser products. Caution! Invisible Class 3R laser radiation. Avoid exposure to the beam.

Introduction

• HDMI-3D-OPT-DD series devices extend HDMI 1.4 signals over one multimode fiber and transmit video signal with embedded audio to a distance of up to 2500 meters.
• HDMI-3D-OPT-TX210DD transmitter was designed to handle HDMI 1.4 digital video signal and analog stereo audio from local inputs or HDMI embedded audio up to eight channel PCM or HBR audio. Analog audio is converted into digital format. The device has a local HDMI video output for monitoring. The video and the embedded audio of the local output is the same as the one transmitted via the OPT link.
• HDMI-3D-OPT-RX110DD optical receiver provides extension of uncompressed Full-HD video and audio over one multimode fiber up to 2500 m. The unit offers an analog audio output and works at all standard AV resolutions.
• HDMI-3D-OPT-DD series extenders offers data diode technology which means an optical fiber with a sender on one side and a receiver on the other ensures that data can only be transferred in a forward direction, and never in reverse. This means no two-way transfer, preventing leakage and manipulation from taking place.

Compatibility

The transmitter and the receiver units are compatible only with each other.
