1000 ft (305 m) @ 1080p Deep Color via one (1) 50/125 µm

Multimode fiber cables in a

point-to-point configuration. The kit comes with one (1) Transmitter and one (1)
Receiver as well as an IR Emitter (500998) and IR Sensor (500999) for remote control
applications.

Applications

Applications include commercial and residential AV systems, classroom projector
systems, digital signage, boardroom systems, collaborative PC systems, and medical
information systems.

1. Identify the connectors on the Transmitter and Receiver as indicated on the
product labels.

2. Verify that the distance between the HDMI Transmitter and Receiver is within
MuxLab specifications (see Specifications table).

3. To install the Transmitter:

3a. Connect the Transmitter to the HDMI video source with an HDMI compliant

cable.

3b. Connect one (1) length of multi-mode fiber cable to the SC Fiber connector on the

Transmitter.

4. To install the Receiver:

4a. Connect the Receiver to the HDMI display equipment with an HDMI compliant

cable.

4b. Connect the one (1) length of multi-mode fiber cable to the SC Fiber connector on

the Receiver.

5. Connect the 5 VDC power supply to the Receiver first, and then plug the power
supply into an AC power outlet. Connect the 5 VDC power supply to the
Transmitter first, and then plug the power supply into an AC power outlet. If power
is present, the green power LED of the Transmitter and the Receiver will be ON.

Note: Power the HDMI Fiber Extender only after all connections are made.

6. Power on the HDMI equipment and verify the image quality.

7. If infrared remote control is needed, connect the IR Sensor to the 3.5mm Stereo
Jack of the receiver and the IR Emitter to the 3.5mm Mono Jack of the Transmitter.

Note: You can differentiate the IR Sensor and the IR Emitter by looking at the

3.5 mm plug. The IR Sensor is using a Stereo Plug (3 Contacts) and the IR
Emitter a mono plug (2 Contacts).

8. Position the IR Sensor so that it is directed to the hand-held remote control. For a
clear IR signal reception, aim the hand-held remote control to the top of the IR
Sensor enclosure.

9. Position the IR Emitter as close as possible to the source’s IR Sensor (i.e. DVD
player). For a clear IR signal reception, the IR Emitter can be glued on the source’s
IR Sensor. The IR Emitter’s signal is transmitted from the side of the enclosure.

10. The following diagram shows the final configuration.
