Overview

The 610T and 610R are a detachable optical transmitter and receiver pair for sending DVI signals with resolutions of up to 1920×1200 at 60Hz over LC optical cable. The 610T attaches to the transmitter side of a fiber optical cable and the 610R connects to the receiver end and both are sold as a set.
The 610T and 610R feature:

• A maximum data rate of 4.95Gbps (1.65Gbps per graphic channel)

• Inputs: DVI-D on a DVI-I connector (610T); 4 LC optical connectors for R, G, B & clock (610R)

• Outputs: 4 LC optical connectors for R, G, B & clock (610T); DVI-D on a DVI-I connector (610R)

• Laser standards compliance – IEC 60825-1, FDA 21CFR1040;
  Laser Class 1: Safety of laser products

• No EMI/RFI

• HDTV Compatibility

• No HDCP Compliance

• A system range of up to 400m (1312ft)

• EDID capture that copies and stores the EDID from a display device (610T)

• Multi-mode fiber optic cable with 4 simplex or 2 duplex LC fiber connectors

• Compliance with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 and 2 of FCC and CE

• External power adapter (supplied) or 5V DC from source

• NanoTools size

The Kramer 610T can be powered either by an external power adapter or internally by the 5V pin on the DVI card of the computer. The 610T automatically detects if it is being powered via the external power adapter, and if so, the internal power supply is cut off. The 610R module must always be powered by the power adapter. Most laptops require that the external power adapter is used for the transmitter.

Your Detachable Optical DVI Transmitter/ Receiver

Using the Detachable Optical DVI System

• Capture the EDID of the display device (see Section 4.1)
• Connect the detachable optical DVI transmitter and receiver (see Section 4.2)
• Troubleshooting the 610T and 610R ((see Section 4.3)

Capturing the EDID
The 610T and 610R are connected via four channels that transmit R, G, B and clock signals. The EDID of the display device is captured onto the transmitter for the computer to read.
You can capture the EDID of the display device on the 610T so that when the computer connects to the 610T, it will read the virtual EDID information and identify the display device. This procedure is performed only once for the connected display device. After storing the EDID, the system can be connected and disconnected without having to set the EDID again. If the display device is replaced, the new EDID should be set on the 610T transmitter.

To capture the EDID of a display device, do the following:

1. Connect the 5V power adapter to the power socket of the 610T, and connect the adapter to the mains electricity.
   The Indication LED lights.

2. Push the Auto EDID button (illustrated in Figure 2), using a thin screwdriver.

3. Connect the 610T unit directly to the display device.
   The Indication LED flashes several times while reading the EDID.

4. When the Indication LED stops flashing, disconnect the power.

5. Disconnect the 610T.
   The EDID information is now stored and the Indication LED is on.

Connecting the Detachable Optical DVI Transmitter/Receiver
To connect the 610T Detachable Optical DVI Transmitter with the 610R Detachable Optical DVI Receiver, as the example in Figure 4 illustrates, do the following:

1. Set the EDID of the display device (see Section 4.1).

2. Plug the 610T DVI connector directly to the DVI connector of the computer. Do not use any intermediate cable or adapter between them.

3. Connect the 610R to the 5V DC power adapter and connect the adapter to the mains electricity. The Indication LED is on.

4. Connect the 610R DVI connector directly to the DVI connector of the display device.
   Do not use any intermediate cable or adapter between them.

5. Connect the duplex LC fiber cables to the 610T and 610R modules, one cable at a time, as illustrated in Figure 3.
   Two duplex LC receptacles connected to two duplex LC patch cord multimode glass of fibers with a 62.5/125m or a 50/125m core.

6. Turn ON the Power on the computer and the display device.

7. If the transmitter does not power up, connect the 5V power adapter to the 610T transmitter, and connect the adapter to the mains electricity.
   You can use the power supplied through a DVI pin from the graphic cards instead of using the power adapter. After completing the installation, if the system does not seem to work properly, reconnect the power adapter while the system is powered.

8. Set up the screen resolution as required.

Avoiding Pitfalls with the 610T and 610R
If the display device shows only a black screen:

• Check that all the AC and DC plugs and jacks used by the external power supplies are firmly connected
• Check that the DVI ports are firmly plugged into the computer and the display device, and be sure that the transmitter and receiver modules are correctly plugged into the computer and display device, respectively
• Check if the computer and display are powered ON and properly booted
• Reset the system by unplugging and then replugging the transmitter DVI port or receiver DVI port and then reboot the system

If the screen is distorted or displays noise:

• Check if the graphics resolution is properly set
• Go to the Display Properties of Windows and check the settings
• Be sure that the resolution is set for WUXGA (1920 x 1200) at 60Hz, or lower
• Reset the system
• Disconnect and reconnect the optical DVI cables
