SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND COMPLIANCE DECLARA TIONS

PLEASE OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AS OUR

PRODUCTS CONTAIN

CLASS I LASER PRODUCTS

W ARNING

This product is a CLASS I LASER PRODUCT only when the units are connected
with a fiber optical cable. Do not disconnect the fiber optic connector while
the unit is powered up. Exposure to laser radiation is possible when the
laser fiber optic connector is disconnected while the unit is powered up. It
should be noted that when the fiber is disconnected, the product will have

CLASS IM INVISIBLE LASER RADIATION.

Although the fiber optic connectors in this product emit only Class 1 energy
that is below the levels considered to be hazardous, one should never stare
directly into a fiber optic connector or an unconnected fiber end unless one
can be certain that no exposure to laser energy could occur.

CAUTION

Only service personnel are intended to access the interior of the units. It
should be cautioned that CLASS 3 INVISIBLE LASER RADIATION WHEN
OPEN, AVOID EXPOSURE TO THE BEAM. The use of controls, making
adjustments, or performing operations other than those specified may result
in hazardous radiation exposure. This product has operating wavelengths
at 778nm, 800nm with average -0.5dB to 0dBm optical power per wavelength,
825nm, 911nm, and 980nm. The laser is operated in pulse mode within 1
KHz frequency and ¼ duty cycle.

The following label or equivalent is located on the surface of laser products.
This label indicates that the product is classified as a CLASS 1 LASER
PRODUCT.

SURGE PROTECTION DEVICE RECOMMENDED

This product contains sensitive electrical components that may be damaged
by electrical spikes, surges, electric shock, lightning strikes, etc. Use of
surge protection systems is highly recommended in order to protect and

extend the life of your equipment.

1.0 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The LBO-H/DP-EAD-T is a high performance, low cost, miniature, Link
Bridge Fiber Optic HDMI Transmission System that embeds the source
audio into the video signal. It carries one (1) unidirectional HDMI video
or one selectable DisplayPort video or one selectable DisplayPort video,
one (1) uni-directional embedded stereo audio, and two (2) RS-232
data channels. 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-H/DP-EAD-T unit 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-H/DP-EAD-T transmitter is compatible with our LBO Series
receivers. This makes both fiber transmission and HDMI/DVI/VGA/
YPbPr/SV/CV/SDI conversion in one single system setup. The units
are easily monitored by power and link LED indicators. Figures 1-1 and
1-2 illustrate the front and rear panels of the LBO-H/DP-EADT unit.

2.0 SETUP

The BCI LBO Optcial Extender Series units are used in pairs. One
LBO-H/DP-EAD-T transmitter unit is located at the near-end (source)
and connected through a single fiber optic cable, to one of the LBO
receivers like the LBO-HDMI-R receiver shown below and located at
the far-end (sink) of the link. Figure 2-1 depicts a typical installation for
the LBO-H/DP-T-EAD and LBO-HDMI-R.

Figure 2-1

LBO-H/DP-T with LBO-HDMI-R

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-H/DP-EAD-T properly , make sure to
observe the following instructions when installing the proper
cables. The LBO-H/DP-EAD-T requires two parts to the cabling

analog or digital transmission. Line-level audio signals or SPDIF
digital signals are connected to the LBO-H/DP-EAD-T unit. 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” connector of the line level or digital audio
source. On the LBO-H/DP-EAD-T unit, connect the other end of
the cables to the front panel stereo jack connector labeled
“AUDIO IN” (see Figure 2-2).

2.6 Serial Data Interface

T o transmit RS232/ IR data connect dat a source to the terminal
block shown in Figure 2-2.

The LBO-H/DP-EAD-T transmits two channels of data signals.
Follow the procedures for installing data terminal devices.

1. Label and connect one serial data cable to the user’s RS-232
data port.

2. Connect the other end of this cable to the front panel data

terminal block connector on the LBO-H/DP-EAD-T per the pin
out shown in Figure 2-2.

2.7 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-H/DP-EAD-T
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
rear end LBO-H/DP-EAD-T unit’s optical port to the user’s
optical RX port.

3.0 DC Power Connection

Congratulations! Y ou are now ready to power up the LBO-H/DP-EAD-T
and set up your network connection. In order to make sure that you
have a proper installation, please observe the following:

1. Your 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-H/DP-EAD-T from sensitive voltage conditions.

The LBO-H/DP-EAD-T 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 1.0A. This power supply comes standard for the
LBO-H/DP-EAD-T unless otherwise specified. To supply power to the
LBO-H/DP-EAD-T, simply connect the power cord, already provided
with the units, and connect it to the wall jack. (You will find one power
cord per unit). Once the power cord has been connected to the wall
jack, connect 12VDC to the unit and the unit should power up immediately .

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.
