1.1
The TechLogix TL-FO2-VLC is an HDMI extender set with HDCP 2.2 compatibility,
which offers the distribution of compressed UHD video, audio, and either RS232 or IR
up to 10km over fiber optic cable. In addition to 4K/60 video with multichannel audio,
the TL-FO2-VLC supports HDR, RGB, and YCbCr 4:4:4 color spaces. When the video
signal bandwidth exceeds 9 Gpbs, the video scaling processor will dynamically scale
the content for a visually lossless viewing experience. The TL-FO2-VLC features bidirectional RS232 or IR ports for controlling of AV devices. Sources and displays can be
controlled from either the transmitter or receiver end using either RS232 or IR signals.
The TL-FO2-VLC supports multi-mode duplex fiber up to 300m/1000ft, which is
immune to RF and EM interference.
The TL-FO2-VLC comes in two variations:
The TL-FO2-VLC-MM is compatible with multimode fiber (OM3/4/5) and has a distance
limit of 300m (984').
The TL-FO2-VLC-SM is compatible with single mode fiber (OS2) and has a distance
limit of of 10km (6.2 miles).

3. System Connection
1. Using quality HDMI cables, connect an HDMI source (such as Blu-ray, games
console, satellite/cable TV, media server etc.) to HDMI IN of the TL-FO2-VLC
transmitter (TX).
2. Connect a good quality, well-terminated fiber cable between the OPTICAL OUT of
the TL-FO2-VLC transmitter (TX) to the OPTICAL IN Input of the TL-FO2-VLC
receiver (RX).
3. Connect the HDMI display device (LED/LCD display or projector) to the HDMI OUT
of the TL-FO2-VLC receiver (RX).
4. For two-way IR control of connected sources and displays from either location,
first, connect IR Emitters to the IR OUT ports of the TL-FO2-VLC transmitter (TX)
and TL-FO2-VLC receiver (RX), and then insert IR Receivers into the IR IN ports of
the TL-FO2-VLC transmitter (TX) and TL-FO2-VLC receiver (RX).
5. Connect the included 12V power supplies to the TL-FO2-VLC transmitter (TX) and
TL-FO2-VLC receiver (RX).
Check Power, Status, and HDCP & Link lights are illuminated on both units to indicate
successful connection, with a lit HDCP light illustrating the presence of encryption
within the signal. Power and Link are static lights. Status should be blinking.
4. Mode Selection
Both the transmitter and the receiver have [3] switches labeled as ‘Mode’. The
position of each switch will effect the extenders in the manner explained in the following

If your problem persists after following the above troubleshooting steps, please contact
your authorized reseller or TechLogix technical support.
8. Troubleshooting & Maintenance
l No image on display:
l Ensure that the display device has been set to the correct input.
l Ensure that the HDMI cables used for both the source/transmitter and the
receiver/display are properly connected and are working. Test the HDMI cables
directly from a source to display and ensure their operation.
l Ensure that the fiber optic cable has not been damaged and that it has been
terminated correctly on both ends. A temporary length of fiber optic cable can be
used for testing to ensure that the devices are all compatible and working
properly.
l Ensure proper grounding of the power supply.
l Color lost or poor picture quality:
l Ensure that the HDMI cables used for both the source and transmitter and the
receiver and display are properly connected and are of good quality. Test the
HDMI cables directly from a source to display and ensure their picture quality.
l Ensure proper grounding of the power supply.
l If the static becomes stronger or picture quality becomes worse when
connecting the video connectors, this may be due to improper grounding.
l Check the grounding and make sure all the components are properly grounded to
a common ground. Improper grounding may cause damage to the receiver.
