Overview

The VE882 / VE892 is an HDMI Optical Extender that overcomes the length restriction of standard HDMI cables by using optical fiber to send high definition audio and video signals over large distances.
It accepts an audio-video stream from a local source and serializes the data to pass it over a single 3.125 Gbps optical link (for resolutions up to 1080p@60Hz with 24-bit color).
The VE882 / VE892 can also extend the IR remote control and transfer RS-232 signals (up to 115kbps) in both directions, allowing you to connect serial devices, such as touch screens and barcode scanners.

Features

• Extends the transmission range of HDMI, IR and RS-232 signals using one fiber optic cable
• Very long distance transmission – up to 600m for VE882, up to 20km for VE892*
• HDMI (3D, Deep Color), HDCP compatible – signaling rates up to 3.125 Gbits
• Superior video quality – up to 1080p@60Hz
• Supports full frequency IR signals from 30 KHz to 60 KHz*
• A bi-directional IR channel for IR signal control; IR transmission is processed one way at a time
• Uses one fiber optic cable to connect the local and remote units
• Supports wide screen formats
• Built-in 8KV/15KV ESD protection
• Features RS-232 serial port for connecting peripherals such as touch screens, barcode scanners, etc.
• Rack-mountable
• Hot-pluggable

Note:

1.  The VE882 supports OM3 optical fiber which canextend the transmission distance up to 300 meters.
2. The device supports full frequency IR signals from 30kHz to 60kHz. The IR receiver cable included with the package, however, only supports signals from 30kHz to 56 kHz.

Cables

• Fiber optic cable (LC, single mode) to connect the Transmitterand Receiver VE882 / VE892 units*
• 1 HDMI cable for the source device you will be connecting**
• 1 HDMI cable for the display device you will be connecting**
• If you wish to utilize the VE882 / VE892’s high-end serial controller function, you need to purchase an appropriate RS-232 cable.

Note:

1.  It is recommended that you use a Single Mode fiber optic cable that conforms to IEC 60793-2-50 B1.1 or ITU-T G.652.B specifications.
2. No cables are included in this package. We strongly recommend that you purchase high-quality cables of appropriate length since this will affect the quality of the audio and video display. Contact your dealer to purchase the correct cable sets.

1| Optical In/Out Port*| The fiber optic cable that connects the transmitter and receiver units plugs in here.
2| Power Jack| The power adapter cable plugs in here.

*The Optical In/Out port’s color varies as follows:

• VE882T – Blue
• VE882R – Yellow
• VE892T – Purple
• VE892R – White

Wall Mounting

For convenience and flexibility, the VE882 / VE892 can be mounted on the wall. To mount a unit do the following:

1. Using the screws provided in the Mounting Kit, screw the mounting brackets onto the side panels of the unit as shown in the diagram below:
Note:
We recommend that you use M5 x 12 Phillips Type I cross,recessed type screws.
2. Attach the bracket onto any convenient location on the wall.

Installation

1.  Make sure that the power to any device that you connect to the installation has been turned off. You must unplug the power cords of any computers that have the Keyboard Power On function.
2.  Make sure that all devices you will be installing are properly grounded.
3. Do not look directly at the light coming from the fiber optic connectors and cable as it is harmful to the eyes.

Refer to the installation diagram on the next page (the numbers in the diagram correspond to the numbers of the steps) and do the following:

1.  Connect the HDMI input port on the VE882T/VE892T to the HDMI output port on your video source device using HDMI cable.
2. Connect one end of the fiber optic cable (LC, single mode) to the Optical Out port on the VE882T/VE892T.
3. Connect the other end of the fiber optic cable (LC, single mode) to the Optical In port on the VE882R/VE892R.
4. Use an HDMI Cable to connect your video display to the HDMI output port on the VE882R/VE892R.
5. Plug the power adapter cable into the power jack on the VE882/VE892.
6.  (Optional) Connect your computer or controller system (RS-232 Port) to the terminal block on the VE882/VE892 to perform serial commands.
   •  Connect an IR Transmitter/Receiver to the IR port on the VE882T/VE892T.
   •  Connect an IR Transmitter/Receiver to the IR port on the VE882R/VE892R.

Note:
The IR transmitter or IR receiver can be plugged into either the VE882T/VE892T or VE882R/VE892R unit depending on the device you want to control remotely.

RS-232 Channel Transmission
The RS-232 signal transmission flow is shown in the following illustration:

From a source device, the RS-232 signal is transmitted (Tx) to the VE882T/VE892T receiving (Rx) unit; the VE882R/VE892R transmits (Tx) signals to the display device (Rx).
