1.0 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The LBO-HDMI-AD Series is a high performance, low cost, miniature,
Link BridgeTM Fiber Optic HDMI Transmission System. It carries one (1)
unidirectional HDMI video, one (1) bi-directional stereo audio and two (2)
RS-232 through one multimode fiber. This unique fiber optic transmission
system lets your digital flat panel display extend up to 400m at WUXGA
(1920x1200 @ 60Hz) or 720p/1080i/1080p HDTV video resolution. DVI
video is also available through a DVI-to-HDMI adapter cable.
No user adjustment is required for the LBO-HDMI-AD system due to the
use of advanced digital fiber optic transmission system technology with
zero compression and zero bit reduction. This allows for a quick and
easy setup, offering trouble-free operation for many years to come. In
addition, the LBO-HDMI-AD transmitter (or receiver) is compatible with
our LBO Series receiver (or transmitter). This makes both fiber
transmission and HDMI/DVI/VGA/YPbPr/SV/CV/SDI conversion in one
single system setup. The LBO-HDMI-AD comes with either a standalone
miniature enclosure or a Decora wall-plate packaging. The units are easily
monitored by power and link LED indicators.
Figures 1-1, 1-2, 1-3 and 1-4 illustrate the front and rear panels of the
LBO-HDMI-AD-T and LBO-HDMI-AD-R units.

2.0 SETUP
LBO-HDMI-AD-T (or LBO-HDMI-AD-R) is a transmitter or receiver and
they can be paired with any DVI/HDMI centric LBO receiver (such as
LBO-DVI-R). One LBO-HDMI-AD-T transmitter unit is located at the nearend and connected through one optical fiber, to the LBO-HDMI-AD-R
receiver located at the far-end of the link. Figure 2-1 depicts a typical
installation for the LBO-HDMI-AD-T/R.
Figure 2-1
Mini-HDMI-AD-T/R Setup
2.1 Mounting
Before installing the units into your housing, make sure there is
enough space to pull and connect both the electrical and optical
cables without stressing them beyond the manufacturer’s
limitations (also known as the minimum bend radius).
2.2 Cabling and Connectors
In order to setup the LBO-HDMI-AD-T/R properly, make sure to
observe the following instructions when installing the proper
cables. The LBO-HDMI-AD-T/R requires two parts to the cabling
setup, the electrical and the optical.

2.2.1.2 Audio Interface
The audio interface supports two channel high fidelity
transmissions. Two separate mono channels or one stereo
channel is transmitted in each direction. Line-level audio signals
are connected to the LBO-HDMI-AD units. The following steps
illustrate the installation procedures for audio devices.
T o send audio signals, label and connect one stereo audio-jack
cable to the “AUDIO OUTPUT” connector of the line level audio
source. On the LBO-HDMI-AD unit, connect the other end of
the cables to the front panel stereo jack connector labeled
“AUDIO IN” (see Figure 2-3a).
To receive audio signals, at the far-end location, label and
connect one stereo audio-jack cable to the “AUDIO INPUT”
connector of the line level audio receiver. On the
LBO-HDMI-AD unit, connect the other end of the cables to the
front panel stereo jack connector labeled “AUDIO OUT” (see
Figure 2-3b).

2.2.2 Optical Fiber Connection
Most cable manufacturers identify individual fibers in the fiber
cable. Select an appropriate terminated fiber. Each unit’ s optical
ports in the system are specified for use with Multimode
(62.5/125 or 50/125 micron) fiber. Follow the ensuing
instructions on installing and connecting the fiber optic links:
1. Ensure the power is off before proceeding with the fiber
optic cable installation.
2. Prior to connecting the fiber optic cables, remove and save
the dust caps from the optical port of the LBO-HDMI-AD
units. Clean the fiber optic connector and use a lint-free
cloth dampened with alcohol to thoroughly wipe the side
and end of the ferrule.
3. Connect the fiber from one unit to the other connecting the
near end LBO-HDMI-AD-T unit’s optical port to the far end
of the LBO-HDMI-AD-R unit’s optical RX port as illustrated
in Figure 2-5.

2.3 DC Power Connection
Congratulations! Y ou are now ready to power up the LBO-HDMI-AD and
set up your network connection. In order to make sure that you have a
proper installation, please observe the following:
1. Y our AC jack has power .
2. The 12VDC power supply is working.
3. Y our electrical system has proper grounding (this ensures
that your power supply does not suffer from voltage
variations).
4. Power Surge Protection. This is optional, but highly
recommended. A UPS system provides voltage regularity
as well as prevents spikes from occurring, thus protecting
your LBO-HDMI-AD from sensitive voltage conditions.
The LBO-HDMI-AD derives power from an external 12VDC power supply .
This power supply is a wall mounted AC/DC adapter, 100-240 VAC,
50-60 Hz, at 1.5A. This power supply comes standard for the
LBO-HDMI-AD unless otherwise specified.
If you have any problems or concerns, regarding the installation, make
sure that you have taken the proper steps to ensure a proper power
connection. Otherwise, feel free to contact us for any questions you
may have.

2.4 In-Wall Power/Fiber Wiring Instruction
The in-wall power/fiber installation for the LBO-HDMI-AD-WP (wall plate
version) must confirm national and local electrical codes, e.g., UL junction
boxes shall be used and DC power source shall not exceed product
rated range (+12VDC @ 1.5A). Follow the following steps for power/
fiber installation:
1. As shown in Figure 2-6, feed both fiber and power cables through
the opening of the wall box, and secure the cables with cable
clamps to provide strain relief.
2. T erminated fiber with SC optical connector to be directly plugged
into the SC connector port of the LBO-HDMI-AD-WP units
(see Figure 2-5).
3. Before connecting power wire to the LBO-HDMI-AD-WP unit,
make sure power supply is off. Prepare the Positive (+12V)
and Negative (GND or +12V return), and chassis ground
(CHASSIS to earth ground) tip of the power wire as shown in
Figure 2-7 to be directly plugged into the captive screw +12VDC
connector of the LBO-HDMI-AD-WP units (see Figure 2-6).
Make sure the polarity of the connection is correct. Insulate
any exposed wire shields to prevent short circuits.

Note 1: During installation, the installer may need to connect the power
supply output to an appropriate Listed NEC type cable before it
is routed behind a wall. Simply routing the power supply output
cable behind a wall will most likely not comply with applicable
installation requirements. Unit should only be powered by a
power source that is Listed (NEC) Class 2 or a Listed ITE Power
Supply marked/rated as LPS or Limited Power Source.
Note 2: The installation shall be in accordance with the applicable
provisions of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70,
Article 725 and the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1,
Section 16.
Note 3: The power supply shall not be permanently fixed to the building
structure or similar structures.
Note 4: The power supply shall not be located within environmental air
handling spaces or within the wall cavity .
Note 5: The power supply is to be located within the same vicinity as
the A/V processing equipment in an ordinary location, Pollution
Degree 2, secured to the equipment rack within the dedicated
closet, podium or desk.
