1. Introduction

1.1. Intended Application

The StudioPRO Extender (SPE) is a fiber optic extender designed to extend USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 and
DVI video signals up to 1000 meters (3280 feet) over standard duplex multimode fiber. With the SPE, all
USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 peripherals can be conveniently located while operating at optimal speed.

Comprised of two compact units, the SPE transmitter connects to the host computer with standard USB
and DVI cables and the receiver provides four ports for connection of peripheral devices as well as video
connections. External power is required for both the transmitter and receiver units and two universal
power supplies are included. Plug-and-play with no adjustments makes setting up the SPE fast and
easy. In addition, LEDs provide link performance at a glance. The SPE successfully and effectively
delivers USB peripherals when and where you need them.

1.2. Increased Security and Efficiency

The ability to remote the CPU away from the monitor allows more control of the computer environment.
Now it is possible to position the monitor or projector in any setting from office to lecture hall to
boardroom while keeping the computer secure in a remote, controlled location.

1.3. Laser Information

LASER RADIATION

DO NOT VIEW DIRECTLY WITH OPTICAL

INSTRUMENTS

CAUTION: In order to avoid possible exposure to laser energy, it is good practice to attach the fiber optic
cables prior to applying power to the StudioPRO EXTENDER. If the fiber optic cable should become
disconnected, DO NOT attempt to look into the cable or the panel mounted connector.

The StudioPRO Extender is designed and identified as a Class 1M LASER product.

2. System Features

2.1. General System Features

The SPE systems are designed for high-resolution video and USB extension applications, such as
remote projection centers, theaters and assembly halls, and for secure computer installations. The ability
to remotely locate the CPU away from the monitor and peripherals allow more control of your computer
environment. It is possible to position the monitor or projector in any setting from office to lecture hall to
boardroom while keeping the computer secure in a remote, controlled location.
