Installation

Before starting the installation, please ensure that all devices are powered off.

The following steps are for an installation using HDMI equipment, if you are using DVI equipment you
should substitute the HDMI cables for DVI to HDMI cables where required.

1. Connect your HDMI source to the Fibre Optic Transmitter device using a HDMI cable (maximum length
5m).

2. Remove the dust covers from the Fibre Optic Transmitter and Receiver ports and your Fibre Cable.

3. Connect one end of the duplex fibre cable to the optical port on the Transmitter and the other end to
the optical port of the Receiver. This must be set up as 1:1 connection and NOT as a cross over
connection as provided by some Duplex Cables with pre-installed clamp on the Duplex connector. If
you have such a cross over cable please exchange the connectors with each other on one end. Please
ensure that the connectors are fully engaged before proceeding.

4. Use another HDMI cable (maximum length 5m) to connect your HDMI display/projector/sink device to
the HDMI port on the 7Receiver.

5. Plug the DC power supplies into the HDMI transmitter and receiver, respectively.

6. Power on your HDMI Source and Display to complete the installation.

As well as extending a HDMI signal the Fibre Optic Extender can also repeat IR remote commands/signals,
with the use of the optional IR Repeater Kit (LINDY No. 38006), allowing you to control your HDMI source
whilst up to 3000m away. Simply connect the IR Repeater Transmitter and Receiver to the relevant ports
on the Fibre Optic Transmitter and Receiver. This functionality is provided in addition to HDMI CEC also
supported by this extender.

Troubleshooting

There is no display on the screen.
Remark: If both the signal source and display support a higher colour space which require more than

13Gbps bandwidth, i.e. YCbCr 4:4:4 8 bit @ 60 Hz, you will receive a blank screen as the HDMI source
will automatically (due to EDID communication) send the higher colour space which exceeds the
bandwidth available of the extender. In this case you must force the HDMI source to send a lower colour
space before you will receive a picture.

 Check that the DC plugs and jacks used by external power supplies (both the extender units and

others) are firmly connected.

 Check that the Fibre Connectors are plugged in correctly and that the Link Status LED is lit. If it is not

lit check if your cable uses a cross over configuration and change it to 1:1.

 Check that the HDMI source and display are both powered on and active
 Power off all the devices, then power on in this order: first, the transmitter and receiver modules, then

the display and finally the source.

 Make sure you have not mixed up the Duplex fibres with each other at one end.
 Reduce the length of HDMI cable used, or use a higher quality cable.

If you are using DisplayPort equipment in some cases you may encounter hardware incompatibility
problems between the graphics source, adapters, extender and sink device (monitor). DP follows a
completely different technology approach than HDMI and conversion can uncover incompatibilities. The
adapters listed in the Specification section have been successfully tested in several environments.
Updated information can be found on the LINDY website. It also is possible to use a combination of HDMI
and DisplayPort at either end of the installation.
If you cannot solve the problems please contact LINDY technical support.
