Overview

The VE883A is a True 4K HDMI Optical extender that consists of a transmitter VE883AT and a receiver VE883AR to transmit up to 4096 × 2160 / 3840 × 2160 @ 60 Hz (4:4:4) HDMI, audio, USB 2.0, RS-232, and IR signals across 300 m (VE883AK1) or 10 km (VE883AK2) over a single duplex fiber optic cable losslessly. While helping avoid bulky cable setups, fibre optic cables are electrically isolated, thus they are immune to RFI and EMI. With ATEN’s exclusive FarSmooth technology, the VE883A prevents lagging and freezing by matching the output rates to the input rates and ensures that the video display is stable, smooth and identical to the source, particularly in long- distance extension applications where uninterrupted video streams are required.

The VE883A comes with interfaces of HDMI input/output, analog audio input/output, USB 2.0 Type-A, USB 2.0 Type-B, IR, RS-232, and Gigabit Ethernet. Connectivity with USB peripherals is expanded thanks to the VE883A’s dual USB Type-A ports. For point-to-point extension, pluggable SFP+ modules are included to serve the purpose of optical connection. Plus, the VE883A is compatible with ATEN’s VM7584 / VM8584 Optical Input / Output Board installed in ATEN’s modular matrix switches to broaden applications. It is suitable for installations where True 4K video transmission across a long distance and electrical isolation are essential, such as control rooms, factories, and hospitals.

Note: VE883A / VE883AT / VE883AR is not backward compatible with VE883 / VE883T / VE883R.

Features

  • Extends HDMI video, audio, IR, RS-232 control, and Ethernet signals over a duplex fibre optic cable across up to 10 km*
  • Lossless transmission of up to 4096 × 2160 / 3840 × 2160 @ 60 Hz (4:4:4) signals
  • HDMI (3D, Deep Color, True 4K); HDCP 2.2 compliant
  • ATEN’s exclusive FarSmooth technology—prevents lagging and freezing by matching the output rates to the input rates and ensures the 4K@60Hz video display is stable, smooth and identical to the source through 10 Gbps bandwidth
  • Dual USB Type-A ports are built for expanded connectivity with USB peripherals.
  • Supports transparent USB 2.0 signals—perfectly compatible with USB 2.0 peripherals at a maximum transfer rate of 25MB/s
  • Bi-directional IR signal transmission—IR transmission is processed one direction at a time, ranging from 30 kHz to 56 kHz
  • Features RS-232 serial port for connecting peripherals such as touch screens, and barcode scanners
  • Supports batch upgrades using Firmware Upgrade Utility
  • Built-in 8 kV / 15 kV ESD protection
  • Plug-and-play
  • Hot-pluggable
  • Rack-mountable

Note:

  • The maximum transmission distance may vary depending on the fibre type, bandwidth, connector splicing, losses, model, chromatic dispersion, environmental factor, and kinks.
  • For long-distance transmissions, ATEN recommends using SFP+ modules to allow compatibility with single or multi-mode fibers. Depending on the chosen package (VE883AK1 or VE883AK2), different SFP+ modules are supplied:
    • VE883AK1: 10 Gbps/300m SFP+ Duplex Multi Mode Transceiver
    • VE883AK2 : 10 Gbps/10 km SFP+ Duplex Single Mode Transceiver
  • ATEN recommends using Single Mode fibers that conform to IEC 11801 (OS1, OS1a, OS2), and Multi Mode fibers that conform to IEC 11801 (OM3, OM4) specifications.
  • The Device is a class 1 laser product. It meets the safety regulations of IEC/EN 60825-1, 21 CFR 1040.10, and 1040.11 except for deviations according to Laser Notice No. 50, dated June 24, 2007.

Safety Instructions

General

  • This product is for indoor use only.
  • Read all of these instructions. Save them for future reference.
  • Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the device.
  • Do not place the device on any unstable surface (cart, stand, table, etc.). If the device falls, serious damage will result.
  • Do not use the device near water.
  • Do not place the device near, or over, radiators or heat registers.
  • The device cabinet is provided with slots and openings to allow for adequate ventilation. To ensure reliable operation, and to protect against overheating, these openings must never be blocked or covered.
  • The device should never be placed on a soft surface (bed, sofa, rug, etc.) as this will block its ventilation openings. Likewise, the device should not be placed in a built-in enclosure unless adequate ventilation has been provided.
  • Never spill liquid of any kind on the device.
  • Unplug the device from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
  • The device should be operated from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power available, consult your dealer or local power company.
  • To prevent damage to your installation all devices must be properly grounded.
  • Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord or cables. Route the power cord and cables so that they cannot be stepped on or tripped over.
  • Position system cables and power cables carefully; Be sure that nothing rests on any cables.
  • Never push objects of any kind into or through cabinet slots. They may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts resulting in a risk of fire or electrical shock.
  • Do not attempt to service the device yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
  • If the following conditions occur, unplug the device from the wall outlet and bring it to qualified service personnel for repair.
  • The power cord or plug has become damaged or frayed.
  • Liquid has been spilled into the device.
  • The device has been exposed to rain or water.
  • The device has been dropped, or the cabinet has been damaged.
  • The device exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service.
  • The device does not operate normally when the operating instructions are followed.
  • Only adjust those controls that are covered in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage that will require extensive work by a qualified technician to repair.

Rack Mounting

  • Before working on the rack, make sure that the stabilizers are secured to the rack, extended to the floor, and that the full weight of the rack rests on the floor. Install front and side stabilizers on a single rack or front stabilizers for joined multiple racks before working on the rack.
  • Always load the rack from the bottom up, and load the heaviest item in the rack first.
  • Make sure that the rack is level and stable before extending a device from the rack.
  • Use caution when pressing the device rail release latches and sliding a device into or out of a rack; the slide rails can pinch your fingers.
  • Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack. The total rack load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit rating.
  • Make sure that all equipment used on the rack—including power strips and other electrical connectors—is properly grounded.
  • Ensure that proper airflow is provided to devices in the rack.
  • Ensure that the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment does not exceed the maximum ambient temperature specified for the equipment by the manufacturer.
  • Do not step on or stand on any device when servicing other devices in a rack.
