1.0 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The LBO-DVI-AD Series is a high performance, low cost, miniature, Link
BridgeTM Fiber Optic DVI Transmission System. It carries one (1)
unidirectional DVI 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.

No user adjustment is required for the LBO-DVI-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-DVI-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-DVI-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-DVI-AD-T and LBO-DVI-AD-R units.

can be paired with any DVI/HDMI centric LBO receiver (such as
LBO-DVI-R). One LBO-DVI-AD-T transmitter unit is located at the near­end and connected through one optical fiber, to the LBO-DVI-AD-R
receiver located at the far-end of the link. Figure 2-1 depicts a typical
installation for the LBO-DVI-AD-T/R.
