2. Introduction
2.1 Overview
The Multi DVI System extends DVI video signals over fiber optic cab le or Cat5 ca ble. All
models support single link DVI video modes. Either Fiber OR CAT5 inputs and outputs
may be utilized as well, however only one combination is active at a time. The units will
autosense which port is in use. Note distance limitations of fiber or Cat5.
This manual covers Multi DVI System units for video (AC1080A, AC1081A, AC1082A),
Multi DVI units for video, stereo audio, and RS232 serial (AC1083-SA, AC1084A,
AC1085A) and Multi DVI units for video, stereo audio, and pollable RS232 (AC1083A,
1086A, 1087A).
Multi DVI System receivers are available with single or dual daisychainable
connections. The dual daisychainable receiver is used when the same signal is
distributed to multiple display devices across a single cable in a daisychain or loopthrough fashion. Setup and cabling are the same as the single-port receiver.
Serial and audio versions provide stereo audio and full RS232 signals. When used in a
daisychainable mode, the RS232 is unidirectional transmit only.
The pollable serial versions allow a bi-directional RS 232 session to be made
between the Multi DVI transmitter and a single receiver in a daisy chain setup. Each
receiver must be addressed with a unique address. See Appendix D for details.
WARNING
This equipment is not intended for, nor does it support, distribution
through an Ethernet fiber network. Do not connect these devices to any sort
of networking or telecommunications equipment!
2.2 Package Contents
You should have received the following when ordering a Multi DVI System
receiver:
• The transmitter or receiver. unit
• External power supply (100–250 VAC, 50–60 Hz, autosensing) with cord.
• This manual.
• For pollable serial transmitters, a programming kit to set receiver units addresses is
included
2.3 Equipment You May Also Need
• Rackmount Brackets:
For or single-port/dual daisychainable receivers:
AC1011 for 3 units; AC1012 for 6 units;
• Stereo Audio cable.
• DVI Video cable.
• Serial cable.
• Fiber Optic cable.
2.4 Compatible Cabling
Cabling for the Multi DVI System must be a single mode 62.5 micron fiber optic cable
terminated into a type LC fiber optic connector or Cat5/Cat6 cable pinned to the EIA
T568B specification (see Appendix A).

CHAPTER 3: Setup and Installation
3. Setup and Installation
3.1 Data Mode Configuration
For pollable serial versions only: Each receiver unit must have a unique address
assigned to it before installation. Pollable series transmitters come with a programming
kit consisting of a windows application and a cable adapter to connect to the receiver
unit . See Appendix D for instructions.
3.2 Cabling Considerations
• We recommend mounting and connecting all cabling to the Multi DVI System
components before applying power. Please note recommended power sequence below.
3.3 Making the Connections
3.3.1 Connections and Setup in General
This section contains figures showing connections with the specific Multi DVI System
models. In general, however, the connection and setup procedure at both transmitter
and receiver ends is as follows:
At the transmitter end:
1. Connect the source video to the Multi DVI System transmitter video input port, which
is a DVI connector labeled DVI IN.
2. If desired, attach a local monitor via the local monitor port to DVI OUT.
3. Make your audio and/or serial connections.
For audio: Connect the audio input to the AUDIO connector
For RS-232: Connect the serial input to the RS-232 COMM connector port 1.
(Port 2 is reserved for internal console use)
4. Connect the fiber optic or CAT5 cable to the transmitter.
5. Do not apply power to the transmitter at this time.
At the receiver end:
1. Connect the DVI OUT connector to the display unit, and attach any audio or serial
connections depending on the model of Multi DVI System (see Sections 3.3.2 through
3.3.5 for model-specific connections). If pollable serial mode is in use, the receiver must
have a unique address. Please see Appendix D.
2. Make sure that the fiber optic or Cat5 cable connection from the transmitter or
receiver are secure.
3. Apply power to the display, then to the receiver.
4. Next, the transmitter should be powered on and finally the video source signal.
Reference Appendix B for Link status and LED indicator explanations.
If there are any problems at either end, see Chapter 4.

3.3.2 CONNECTIONS ON THE SINGLE-PORT MULTI DVI
The AC1080A, AC1081A, AC1082A units support DVI video over fiber optic cable. Note
that CAT5 inputs and outputs may be utilized as well, however only one combination is
active at a time. The units will autosense which port is in use.
Figure 3-1 shows the video only Multi DVI System Transmitter connections, and Figure
3-2 shows the receiver connections.
