3-Channel DVI Extender - Installation and Operation Manual 3

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing the BLACK BOX 3-Channel DVI Extender.

Its use of fi beroptic cables permits transmission of video signals without
any compression.

This ensures completely loss-free data transmissions with full video
refresh rates.

The result:

Excellent image quality, even at high resolutions!

You will not only enjoy the benefi ts of longer transmission distances,
but also make your transmission routes completely insensitive to
electromagnetic interference.
In addition, you ensure overvoltage protection of your transmission routes.

The BLACK BOX 3-Channel DVI Extender transmits three DVI-I interfaces
(digital/analog) in real time to remote monitors, displays, video projectors
and other output devices with digital interfaces.

While both digital and analog video signals can be supplied to the input side,
the output ports on the receiving side are all digital.

An MTP®/MPO 12-fi ber multimode fi beroptic cable is used as the
transmission medium, facilitating achievement of 3 x 3.6 Gbps data rates.

Depending on the type of fi bers used in the fi beroptic cable (50 or 62.5 μm),
distances of up to 400 meters can be covered.

Your 3-Channel DVI Extender supplies three output devices via one joint
fi beroptic cable.

The 3-Channel DVI Extender supports video resolutions
up to 1920 x 1200 px @ 60 Hz with digital video input and
up to 1600 x 1200 px @ 60 Hz with analog video input.

Optionally, local output devices can also be connected to the transmitter (source).

4 3-Channel DVI Extender - Installation and Operation Manual

INTRODUCTION

Device confi guration is based on the serial RS232 interface.

Firmware upgrades are also handled via this connector.

The 3-Channel DVI Extender can be used not only in heavy-duty
industrial environments, but also in the media sector, the television and
entertainment industries, training and education centers and many other
application areas in the visualization business.

The 3-Channel DVI Extender transmission system consists of the
3-Channel DVI Extender TX transmitter unit and the 3-Channel DVI Extender RX
receiver unit.

Both devices are delivered as desktop versions.

SAFETY GUIDELINES

CAUTION: LASER

Your 3-Channel DVI Extender is a Class 1 laser product.

There is a risk of damaging your eyesight if you disregard this safety information!

Even if they are not in use, the fi beroptic connections of the modules must be sealed
either with a MTP®/MPO cable connector or a dust cap.

Please ensure that the power supply is switched off before you disconnect or
connect fi beroptic cables.

Both the 3-Channel DVI Extender TX transmitter and the 3-Channel DVI Extender RX
receiver are connected to the power supply system.
Please observe the usual safety regulations for handling devices connected to
a power supply system.

Both devices have built-in fans. Please ensure that there is a reliable air supply
on both sides and the air outlet on the rear panel are not blocked.

Your desktop devices should never be placed on the fl oor between cables.

Moisture and dust will affect the reliable functioning of your 3-Channel DVI Extender.

These devices are maintenance-free. Never open the device panels.
There are no settings that need to be adjusted inside the casing.

Please contact BLACK BOX’s Technical Support
for troubleshooting purposes (page 31).

VIDEO INPUT

The VIDEO OSD menu is subdivided into seven sections. With the exception of the
fi rst item (VIDEO INPUT), this sub-menu contains settings for analog signals.

The top section of the VIDEO INPUT window shows the three video formats
available for the input signals.

Column S shows the input signal type: a = analog
d = digital
g = sync on green
c = composite sync

The video signal transmitted can be selected in the bottom section of the window.

VGA Analog signal
DVI Digital signal
VGA / DVI Automatic selection: if both an analog and a digital signal
are available, the analog VGA signal is transmitted.
If only DVI is available, DVI is transmitted.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Please observe the effect your settings in the OSD menu have on your
video output devices.

If the output device is at a very remote location and no one is available to help you to
observe the changes, you can also connect the output device directly to the respective
DVI OUT port of your 3-Channel DVI Extender TX transmitter unit.

CONFIGURATION

HORIZONTAL POSITION

If the image position of the analog signal is not correct, use the cursors to switch
from “auto” to “man” (manual) and adjust the horizontal position within a range
from –40 to +40. If your output device responds very slowly to the changes, select
“Force monitor adjust” to ensure that any change to the image position briefl y
interrupts the video signal.

VERTICAL POSITION

Use the cursors to switch from “auto” to “man” (manual) and adjust the vertical position
within a range from –20 to + 20. If your output device responds very slowly to the changes,
select “Force monitor adjust” to ensure that any change to the image position briefl y
interrupts the video signal.

CONFIGURATION

SCREEN WIDTH

The image width (number of horizontal pixels) is usually determined by the VESA
standard.
If your image appears blurred, you can improve image quality by adjusting it within
a range of –16 to +16.

PHASE

Unfavorable analog phasing (pixel scanning time) may lead to degradation of image
quality in the form of blurring, poor contrast or faded writing.
Try to optimize your image within a range from –16 to +15.

24 3-Channel DVI Extender - Installation and Operation Manual

CONFIGURATION

EDID

(extended display identifi cation data)

Video output devices transmit their EDID to the connected graphics card via the
Display Data Channel (DDC).
Your 3-Channel DVI Extender TX uses all twelve optical fi bers in your fi beroptic cable
exclusively for signal transmission. Therefore it is not possible to transmit the EDID of the
monitor from the 3-Channel DVI Extender RX back to the computer, connected to the 3­Channel DVI Extender TX.
The graphics cards receive the required EDID parameters from an EEPROM containing
the default settings for each DVI-IN input on your 3-Channel DVI Extender TX.
BLACK BOX recommends working with the actual EDID of your video output devices.

EDID INTERNAL and DEFAULT

In the factory default settings, the default BLACK BOX EDID is preset on all three DVI IN
input ports under INTERNAL:

The default settings shown here should be
overwritten with the actual EDIDs from the
video output devices via EXTERNAL
(page 25).

NOTE:
You can reset the default EDID via DEFAULT.
Use the STORE command to save the default
settings in INTERNAL.

The DETAILS sub-menu is used by BLACK
BOX for error diagnosis.

3-Channel DVI Extender - Installation and Operation Manual 25

CONFIGURATION

EDID EXTERNAL IMPORTANT!

Move your 3-Channel DVI Extender transmitter unit to the video output devices and
connect the respective lower DVI IN port to the DVI cable on the output device.

When you switch on your 3-Channel DVI Extender (after connecting the power supply
cable), the EDID of the connected video output device is automatically read by the
3-Channel DVI Extender and saved in an EEPROM for each DVI IN port. The respective
LED will fl ash four times during the scanning process. You can then switch off your
3-Channel DVI Extender.

Once you have repeated this procedure individually or simultaneously for all three
channels, the original EDID of the output device will be available at each channel.
The EXTERNAL function described below has thus been automated. However, menu­based import of the individual values is also possible via EXTERNAL 1 - 3:

Once the data has been read out successfully, you can reconnect your 3-Channel DVI
Extender TX to the video signal sources (see page 10).

As described on page 24, you will now fi nd the
original EDID of your video output device 1
under EDID / CHANNEL 1 / INTERNAL 1:

An NEC MultiSync LCD 2080UX+ was
recognized in the example shown here.

If you exchange your video output devices,
please remember to import the EDID of the
newly connected devices in the manner
described above.
