Overview
The 610T and 610R are a detachable optical transmitter and receiver pair for sending DVI signals. The 610T attaches to the transmitter side of a fiber optical cable, and the 610R connects to the receiver end. The 610T can be powered externally or internally by the computer’s DVI card, while the 610R must always be powered by an adapter.

Using the Detachable Optical DVI System:

Capturing the EDID
The 610T and 610R are connected via four channels transmitting R, G, B, and clock signals. Capture the EDID of the display device on the transmitter so the computer can read it. This only needs to be done once per connected display device.

Connecting the Detachable Optical DVI

Transmitter/Receiver
To connect, attach the 610T to the transmitter side and the 610R to the receiver side of the optical cable. Power the units accordingly – 610T can be powered externally or internally, while the 610R must always use an adapter.

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.

Using the Detachable Optical DVI System

This section describes how to

Capture the EDID of the display device (see Capturing the EDID on page 6).
Connect the detachable optical DVI transmitter and receiver (see Connecting the Detachable
Optical DVI Transmitter/Receiver on page 7).
Troubleshooting the 610T and 610R (see Avoiding Pitfalls with the 610T and 610R on page 8).

Capturing the EDID
The 610T and 610R are connected via four(see Capturing the EDID on page 6) 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

Connect the 5V power adapter to the power socket of the 610T, and connect the adapter to the mains electricity.
The Indication LED lights.
Push the Auto EDID button (illustrated in Figure 2), using a thin screwdriver.
Connect the 610T unit directly to the display device.
The Indication LED flashes several times while reading the EDID.
When the Indication LED stops flashing, disconnect the power.
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

Set the EDID of the display device (see Capturing the EDID on page 6).
Plug the 610T DVI connector directly to the DVI connector of the computer.
Do not use any intermediate cable or adapter between them.
Connect the 610R to the 5V DC power adapter and connect the adapter to the mains electricity. The Indication LED is on.
Connect the 610R DVI connector directly to the DVI connector of the display device.
Do not use any intermediate cable or adapter between them.
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 62.5/125μm or a 50/125μm core. $kramer-610T- Detachable-Optical-DVI-Transmitter-Receiver-IMAGE $3$$
Turn ON the Power on the computer and the display device.
If the transmitter does not power up, connect the 5V power adapter to the 610T transmitter, and connect the adapter to the mains electricity.
You can use the power supplied through a DVI pin from the graphic cards instead of using the power adapter. After completing the installation, if the system does not seem to work properly, reconnect the power adapter while the system is powered.
Set up the screen resolution as required. $kramer-610T-Detachable-Optical-DVI-Transmitter-Receiver-IMAGE $4$$

Avoiding Pitfalls with the 610T and 610R
If any of these problems occur, we recommend the following

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

Be sure that at all times the cables are stored and used away from liquid or dirt.
