Extron electronics DVI 104 Tx, DVI 104 Rx Setup Manual

Description

The Extron DVI 104 Tx and DVI 104 Rx are fiber optic transmitter/
receiver units that extend DVI signals up to 1,640' (500 m) using four
multimode fiber optic cables.

The transmitter plugs directly into the source device
and the receiver plugs directly into the display
device.

The transmitter/receiver pair can handle DVI video
signals with resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 or 1080p
at 60 Hz.

Optional four-fiber multimode cables are available
in varying lengths.

Front panel features

a

Power input — The transmitter and receiver

both have plugs for a 3.5 mm jack to provide
5 VDC to the unit.

The center pin of the jack carries +5 VDC; the
outer shell of the jack is the negative rail.

N

If the source device is able to provide 5 VDC on pin 14 of its
DVI output, the transmitter can draw power from the source
device. If the source is a laptop or a PC using a PCI-E graphics
card, it will not be able to provide enough power and the
transmitter must be powered with a separate external power
supply.

The receiver must be powered by an external power supply

through the power input plug.

b

LC Jacks — Four fiber optic cables connect the transmitter to the

receiver. The cables connect to the four female LC jacks in each of the
units.

A label on the top panel identifies the unit as the transmitter or receiver
and identifies the fiber optic port numbers and the power input.

N

For the transmitter, port 1 is closest to the power input and
port 4 is furthest away. For the receiver, port 4 is closest to the
power input and port 1 is furthest away.

Although the orientation is reversed, ports with the same

number must be connected by the same cable, so that port 1 on
the receiver is connected to port 1 on the transmitter, etcetera.

Insert the end of the fiber optic cable into the appropriate plug on the
transmitter or receiver. The locking catch should snap into the slot and
hold the cable securely in place.

c

LED — Both the transmitter and

receiver have LEDs on both sides
that light blue when the unit is
receiving power. The LEDs on
the transmitter also function as
a status indicator for the EDID
minder feature (see “Setup and
Operation”).

d

Thumbscrews — Use the

thumbscrews to secure the
transmitter or receiver to its
connector.

Side panel features (transmitter only)

e

EDID Minder storage button

(transmitter only) — A recessed

switch activates the transmitter
to capture and store EDID
information from the display
device. This allows the source
device to provide a signal with a resolution and refresh rate matching
the needs of the display device. (For more information, see the next
section, “Setup and Operation”.)
