Bottom View – Transmitter / Receiver

1HDMI plug HDMI connector plug for HDMI audio and video signal transmission. The following protocols and features are supported:

•  HDMI 1.x and HDMI 2.0 audio/video – the module automatically selects between HDMI 2.0 and HDMI 1.x based on the type of the signal source or sink device.

• HDCP 1.4 or HDCP 2.2 encryption – the module automatically selects between HDCP 1.4 and HDCP 2.2 based on the type of the signal source or sink device.

•  EDID, CEC, and HDCP transparent.
  2 Loopholes
  Loopholes for self-fastening belts for mounting. See the details in the Mounting Options section.
  3USB-A plug
  Standard USB-A plug to USB-compatible (1.1 or higher) host port. The following features are supported:

• The receiver and transmitter can be fully powered from the USB port. This capability is available even if the attached USB host port is “power only”.

• For transmitter only: USB power is fully compatible with HDMI power. The transmitter performance will not degrade if the HDMI power and USB power are available simultaneously. Similarly, connecting USB power and HDMI power simultaneously will not cause any damage to the attached USB host or HDMI video source.
  4 SC fiber connector
  SC fiber optical connector. Connect a multimode fiber optic cable between the transmitter and the receiver. The following features are supported:

• All communication, including audio and video transmission, and HDCP over one optical fiber.

•  The connector supports open fiber detection with high-speed laser shutdown.
  5 Status LED
  Indicates the current status of the transmitted or received optical and HDMI signals, and the HDCP encryption.

| OFF| The module is not powered.
---|---|---
| BLINKING (red)| No fiber link is detected.
| BLINKING (yellow)| A fiber link is established, but no HDMI cable is detected (5V is not detected on the source or hotplug is not detected on the sink).
| ON (yellow)| A fiber link is established, the cable is connected, but no HDMI signal.
| BLINKING (green)| A fiber link is established, the signal is not HDCP- encrypted.
| ON (green)| A fiber link is established, the signal is encrypted with HDCP 1.4.
| BLINKING (blue)| Fiber link is established, HDCP 2.2 initialization is in progress.
| ON (blue)| A fiber link is established, the signal is encrypted with HDCP 2.2.

Troubleshooting

The following LED status means incorrect extender modes. It can happen when the USB-A plug of the extender is connected to a USB connector where the data transmission is enabled. Solution: Use the supplied power adaptors.

BLINKING (pink) The device is in bootloader mode.
ON (pink) The device is in bootloader mode and the bootloader is configured by the USB host.

Introduction

Thank you for choosing Analog Way EXT-HDMI20-OPT-TX and RX optical extenders. The EXT-HDMI20-OPT-TX and EXT-HDMI20-OPT-RX are HDMI 2.0 compatible fiber- optical extenders providing uncompressed signal extension with embedded audio to a range of 2500 m (8000 ft.) over a single multimode fiber cable connection. Its rugged, solid metal casing provides excellent cooling and maximum reliability these fiber optical extenders are also compatible with Analog Way’s LivePremier™HDMI 2.0 over fiber output card (ref. ACC-AQL-OUT- HDMI-FBR) and HDMI 2.0 over fiber input card (ref. ACC-AQL-IN-HDMI-FBR).

Connecting Steps

Follow the installation steps to connect the extenders between the source and sink devices:

PM| Connect the multimode fiber optical cable to the SC fiber connector
of the receiver.
---|---
HDMI| Connect the HDMI plug of the receiver to the input port of the sink device. The extender reads the EDID from the device (seamless switcher input, projector, monitor, etc), and outputs the video signal according to the set resolution.
Power| Power on the receiver by choosing one of the powering options below:
Connect the USB plug of the receiver to the power adaptor.
Connect the USB plug of the receiver to the USB connector of the sink device.
PM| Connect the multimode fiber optical cable to the SC fiber connector the transmitter.
HDM| Connect the HDMI plug of the transmitter to the output port of the source device (e.g. PC).
Power| Finally power on the transmitter by choosing one of the powering options below:
Connect the USB plug of the transmitter to the power adaptor.
Connect the USB plug of the transmitter to the USB connector of the source device.
Connect the HDMI plug of the transmitter to the output port of the source device (e.g. PC). If the HDMI source device is able to provide enough 5V DC current (500mA), there is no need for external 5V DC power. The extender is powered immediately when the source device is switched on.
| Check the Status LED. When the connection has been made successful, the LEDs on the transmitter and receiver will appear green or blue depending on the HDCP encryption.

Mounting Options

The ergonomic enclosure provides two possible methods for mounting the device.
Option 1 – Mounting the device to a rack shelf

The transmitter and the receiver modules have two mounting holes each with inner threads on the two narrow sides. The distance between the holes is 67,5 mm. Fasten the device by the screws packaged with the following, compatible mounting accessories:

• Under-desk mounting kit
• Under-desk double mounting kit
• 1U high rack shelf The required screw type: PZ flat head (M3x6mm)

Option 2 – Mounting the device using self-fastener
Use the two tie-down loops of the enclosure to thread through the self- fastener. The modules can be mounted to basically any installation point, for example, rack frames.
in case of installation to a truss, always fix the module with a safety wire as well.

Option 3 – Mounting the device to the OPT-POWERTRAIN
The OPT-POWERTRAY is a 1RU size housing accessory that can enclose up to 16 pcs EXT-HDMI20-OPT-TX/RX units, also providing a power source for every installed
device. Three different models are available:

• SC model: built with 8x SC duplex fiber optic connectors for 16x multimode SC fiber optical cables.
• NTD model: 4x Neutrik NO2-4FDW-A connectors for 4x Neutrik opticalCON DUO series cables or 8x LC fiber optical cables.
• NQT model: 4x Neutrik NO4FDW-A connectors for 4x Neutrik opticalCON QUAD series cables.
