Welcome!

Congratulations on your purchase of the Stretch DVITM M1-201SA-TR Optical
DVI (Digital Visual Interface) Extension Module. This manual contains
information that will assist you in installing and operating the product.

Product Description

The M1-201SA-TR optical DVI module transmits four (4) optical data, Red,
Green, Blue and clock and can be extended up to 500 meters (1,640ft) over a
pair of LC duplex multi-mode fibers or four (4) LC simplex multi-mode fibers at
WUXGA (1920x1200) at 60Hz vertical refresh.
The EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) in a display can be read and
restored by just plugging once transmitter to the display. This Auto EDID
programming feature makes the installation of M1-201SA more easy and
flexile at any variable resolution display systems.
For your convenience, UXGA EDID would have been done before shipment
as a default.

1-1 Welcome, Product Description

System Requirements for Setup

 Hardware requirements

 You have to have a DVI graphic controller or card having a DVI

port in your PC, SUN or Mac systems. It should support the
maximum graphic resolution feature of displays to be connected.

 No special requirements for memory size, CPU speed and

chipsets, if you’ve already properly installed your DVI graphic
controllers or cards.

 Software requirements

 No special restrictions, if you’ve already properly installed your

DVI graphic controller in your OS.

 AC/DC Power Adapter Technical Advisory

The transmitter (Tx) module of M1-201SA-TR is designed a power
protection circuit from conflict of power supply between the external
DC power adapter and your graphic card through the DVI pin.

However, the receiver (Rx) module should be supplied by an AC/DC
power adapter.

Tips: In general, most of laptops or desktop PCs with PCI Express graphic

card require using an AC/DC power adapter for the transmitter module.
Note: Recommend to use power supplying adapters offered by Opticis,

which has short-circuit break features.
