Mini-HDMI-WP User’s Manual

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

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
