1.0 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Mini-HDMI-WP Series is a high performance, low cost, miniature,
Fiber Optic HDMI extender system, designed specifically for wall plate
installation. It carries one (1) unidirectional HDMI video, together with
HDCP/DDC, through one (1) multimode fiber. This unique fiber optic
transmission system lets your digital flat panel display extend up to
400m at WUXGA (1920x120 @ 60Hz) resolution.

No user adjustment is required for the Mini-HDMI-WP 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. The
Mini-HDMI-WP supports video resolution up to WUXGA
(1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz) or 1080p @ 60Hz HDTV video resolution. It
supports in-wall +12VDC powering option.

Figure 1-1 illustrates the TX and RX view of the Mini-HDMI-WP model.

2.0 SETUP

The BCI Mini-HDMI-WP Series units are used in pairs. One
Mini-HDMI-WP-T transmitter unit is located at the near-end and
connected through one optical fiber, to the Mini-HDMI-WP-R receiver
located at the far-end of the link. Figure 2-1 depicts a typical installation
for the Mini-HDMI-WP-T/R.

Figure 2-1

2.1 Mounting

Before installing the units into your wall plate 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 BCI Mini-HDMI-WP properly , make sure to
observe the following instructions when installing the proper
cables. The Mini-HDMI-WP requires two parts to the cabling
setup, the electrical and the optical.

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 SC-connectorized
Multimode (62.5/125 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 both the Mini-HDMI-WP
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 Mini-HDMI-WP-T unit’s optical port to the far end
of the Mini-HDMI-WP-R unit’s optical RX port as illustrated
in Figure 2-3.

2.3 DC Power Connection

The standard option to connect a power source is a +12VDC, which is
used when power source is farther away (see Figure 2-3). 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. Your 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 Mini-HDMI-WP from sensitive voltage conditions.

The Mini-HDMI-WP 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 or 0.5A.

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.
