Miniature Multimode Fiber Optic HDMI Transmission System
Mini-HDMI-AD User’s Manual
1.0 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Mini-HDMI-AD Series is a high performance, low cost, miniature,
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) resolution. DVI video is also available through a DVI-to-HDMI
adapter cable.
No user adjustment is required for the Mini-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 Mini-HDMI-AD transmitter (or receiver) is compatible with
our Mini-RGB-AD or Mini-DVI-AD receiver (or transmitter). This makes
both fiber transmission and HDMI-to-RGB/DVI conversion in one single
setup. The Mini-HDMI-AD supports video resolution up to WUXGA
(1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz) or 720p/1080i/1080p HDTV video resolution.
Remote IR control or rack-mountable card chassis option is also available.
Figure 1-1 illustrates the front and rear panels of the Mini-HDMI-AD
model.
