MADE IN USA

VQM DVI Transmitter with Audio

H: 1.592” (4.40cm) x D: 6.366” (45.8cm) x W: 7.406” (44.5cm), 10 Watts per unit

1.1. Product Overview

MRTS Technology 6.25 Gbps. allows for Full Frame Rate Transmission of uncompressed DVI or

RGB video. Powered by Thinklogical’s® cutting edge, patent-pending MRTS (Multi Rate Transmission

System) Technology, our video extension systems transport every frame of a DVI or RGB video stream

seamlessly with no compression or dropped frames. In addition, all high speed peripherals function with
no latency. Incorporating standard SFP+ transceivers, the system uses fiber optic cables to
placement of a digital monitor or projector up to 1000 meters (3280 feet) away from the controlling
computer without loss of resolution. Installation is plug-and-play and no adjustments are necessary.

All Video modules support Data Display Channel (DDC)*, with a variety of modes to meet each
unique requirement. All models are connected by fiber optic cable(s), to provide communications to
and from the transmitter. The transmitter modules connect to a CPU with supplied video cables
(and audio & serial or network cables in AV+, AN+, AH and NH models). The receiver modules
provide an interface to the monitor(s) (and audio & serial or network devices in AV+, AN+, AH, NH
and video format scaler models).

Each

also has fiber connectors used for transferring video and data to the Receiver. Status LEDS are
provided for system information.

Each
output labeled DDC is always the primary output. The RX also has fiber connectors used for
transferring data to the TX and receiving video and data.

Q-4300 Chassis: (VQS-004300) Supports any combination of up to four Q-Series modules.

Dual interface and current sharing power supplies. Desktop or 19" rack-mount.

Q-2300 Chassis: (VQS-002300) Supports up to two Q-Series modules. Desktop only.

Q-1300 Chassis: (VQS-001300) Supports one Q-Series module. Desktop only.

2.1 General System Features

The Q-Series’ hot-swappable interface modules allow any Q-Series Chassis to be used in a variety of
applications. Both transmitter and receiver modules can be installed together in one chassis. (A Q-4300
Chassis can hold up to four modules and a Q-2300 Chassis can hold up to two modules). Video Modules
are available to support single-link or dual-Link video display connections along with full duplex stereo
audio, stereo 3D emitter and serial RS-232 or network. A line of HDCP Compliant Velocity Q-Series
modules is also available (see pg. 17).

Installation possibilities are expanded with built-in support for either multi-mode or single mode fiber,
making this a convenient and cost effective solution to combat the restrictions involved with the
distribution of uncompressed broadcast quality video signals over long distances. Each module is hot
swappable and, in addition, the standard SFP+ optics (with LC connectors) are hot swappable/hot
pluggable. Every module is fully compatible with all of Thinklogical’s VXRouter line of products.

2.2 The Q-Series Chassis Line

Each Q-Series chassis allows users to locate DVI, RGB/DVI and SDI monitors (via fiber) from just a few
meters away to up to 40 kilometers away from the controlling computer, securely and without the loss of
resolution.

The Q-4300 is a rack space-saving, high reliability solution that provides a rack mount for up to 4
modules of DVI, RGB or SDI in a compact 1U chassis. Ready for the challenges of demanding
applications, both the Q-4300 and Q-2300 Chassis can combine any variety of DVI, RGB/DVI or SDI
modules in transmit/receive units for a space saving and cost effective solution.

The Q-1300 is a stand-alone chassis that will accommodate any one Q-Series module. All Q-Series
Chassis are powered by standard 100-240 VAC, 47-63 Hz.

Thinklogical’s Q-Series Scaler Receiver is HDCP compliant and automatically scales the video output format to the
connected monitor’s preferred timing resolution while supporting up to 8 channels of embedded audio. As with all

HDCP compliant models, the Scaler Receiver is available with LC-Type fiber connectors only. (See Appendix D:
VQM-3 Scaler Menu Options on page 44.)

All physical connections to the Q-Series Video Modules use industry-standard

connectors. Non-supplied cables that may be needed are commercially available.

All connections are found on each module’s front panel.

4.3 Fiber Connections to the Q-Series Video Modules

4.3.1. Single Fiber Operation, Single-Link Video

The unit will operate with a single fiber from the TX to the RX. In this mode of operation the TX
can transmit video and data to the RX over fiber L1. The RX cannot send any information to the
TX. Also, DDC information can only be gathered from the TX local port or the Thinklogical
default EDID table.

In this mode video information is transmitted from the TX to the RX over fiber L1. Fiber L2 is
used as a data return path from the RX to the TX. Providing a back channel from the RX to the
TX allows the RX to modify DDC configuration via the Front Panel LCD and buttons and allows

information about the connected monitor to determine the display properties.

4.3.3. Three and Four Fiber Operation, Dual Video

VQM-3HV and VQM-3AHV operate in Dual-fiber or Quad-fiber modes. In Dual-Fiber operation,
fibers L1 and L3 are used to transmit data and video from the TX to the RX and in Quad-Fiber
mode, fibers L2 (video head 1 DDC) and L4 (video head 2 DDC) transmit data from the RX back
to the TX.

4.3.4. Two and Four Fiber Operation, Redundant Video

VQM-3R operates in Dual-fiber or Quad-fiber modes. In dual-fiber operation, fibers L1 and L1’
are used to transmit data and video from the TX to the RX and in Quad-fiber mode, fibers L2

and L2’ transmit data from the RX back to the TX. L1’ and L2’ are copies of L1 and L2

respectively.

4.3.5. Two and Three Fiber Operation, Dual-Link Video

VQM-6 operates in Dual-fiber or Triple-fiber modes. In dual-fiber operation, fibers L1 and L3 are
used to transmit data and video from the TX to the RX. In three-fiber mode, fiber L2 transmits
data from the RX back to the TX.

4.4. Supplied Cables

Depending on the customer-specified system configuration, power, video and peripheral cables from the
following list will be supplied by Thinklogical in quantities specific to each configuration:

4.8 Status Indicator LEDs

The LED Status Indicators on the Q-Series modules are provided as troubleshooting aides in diagnosing
and resolving technical problems so that a technician can easily assess the status of the module.

The LEDs on most devices monitor the status of the fibers at L1-L4 and are labeled as such. The
functions of the fiber LEDs are described on page 25.

4.8.1. Scaler Receiver Status LEDs

The LEDs on the Scaler Receiver indicate whether the device is receiving HDCP, HDMI or DVI video
signals and if the unit detects an input signal or Hot Plug (a monitor’s output signal that lets the video
source know if a new monitor has been connected so it can read the DDC table). The Scaler Receiver
LED functions are described below.

Fiber Status LEDs:

The LED status indicators on the Q-Series modules are provided as troubleshooting aides in diagnosing
and resolving technical problems so that a technician can easily assess the status of the module.

All transmitter and receiver LEDs are GREEN (with the exception of the Activity LED on the RJ45 port on
Network models) and can be in one of three states: OFF, FLASHING, or ON.

In the case of dual or redundant video modules, both return fibers are monitored by LEDs L2 and L4 (dual video)
or L2 and L2' (redundant video) and will operate the same if only one or both of these fibers is detected. LEDs
L1 and L3 are mutually-exclusive from each other with ONE exception –

ALL LEDS FLASHING IN UNISON INDICATES THAT THE MODULE IS IN ALARM!

A module will be declared in ALARM if any of the following conditions exist:

 Over the maximum temperature threshold (module or chassis)
 Wrong or missing voltage
 Bad firmware checksum value

LEDs Off:

NO SFP – The SFP is missing or not seated properly in the socket
NOT LOCKED – The SFP and a signal are present but not locked to the source.

When a Q-Series Scaler Module is used in a Q-1300 Chassis, no LCD is available for programming.
Parameters can be set or modified using the USB Mini-B CTRL port on the connector panel of the
module. A terminal emulation program, such as Hyper Term or Tera Term, set to the following baud rate,
is required:

Factory-set baud rate in Scaler Mod.

Baud Rate: 115200
Data Bits: 8

Parity: None
Stop Bits: 1
Flow Control: None

Set user’s terminal program (Hyper Term, Tera
Term or other such terminal emulation program)

to this baud rate.

From the terminal emulation program’s Main User Menu, users can select the same options that are
available on the Q-2300 and Q-4300 LCDs. By entering a letter from the corresponding choices, users
can modify the available settings. Pressing CR or enter will return to the main menu. The name of

each menu is listed along the top of the window, as shown below.

Appendix F: EDID and DDC for Standard and HDCP Modules

Display Data Channel (DDC) is a VESA standard transport medium between a CPU’s graphics adapter and

monitor used to pass EDID, and can be either unidirectional or bidirectional.

A bidirectional bus supports content protection (HDCP) and display calibration software. (High-bandwidth

Digital Content Protection is a specification used to encrypt and protect digital video and audio signals transmitted

between two HDCP-enabled devices.)

NOTE: Most DVI-D graphics adapters will not boot if a valid EDID table is not received at power up.

Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is a data structure provided by a digital

display to describe its identity (manufacturer’s name, product type, serial number, etc.) and capabilities (native timing,

frequency range, video and audio formats, etc.) to a video source.

EDID is what enables a modern personal computer to know what kind of monitor is connected.

With this information the CPU and video card can determine what resolutions the monitor is capable of.

EDID is defined by a standard published by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA). The

EDID also includes such information as the phosphor or filter type, timings supported by the display,

display size, luminance data and pixel mapping data for digital displays.

Standard Models EDID Table

H Models (HDCP Compliant) EDID Table

When placed in DDC Pass-thru mode, Thinklogical fiber optic extenders act as a wire between the HDCP
video source and sink device. Whether they tolerate this extension is dependent upon the sink and source's

implementation of the HDCP negotiation protocol. Thinklogical has extended HDCP compliant devices up to
200m in the past, but cannot guarantee the same performance in every installation.

Default DDC Modes (HDCP Compliant Models):

Remote Dynamic Mode

The unit acts as a direct connection between the RX and TX. In this mode DDC data is read at the RX and sent to
the TX. Once verified at the TX the information is written into a PROM on the TX and provided to the CPU video
card. The RX will not send DDC data to the TX unless a different display is connected to the RX.

Advantage: Allows CPU video card to boot when there is no fiber connection to the RX.
Limitations: No communication link from the CPU to the display. Remote Dynamic prevents the use of HDCP or

monitor configuration /color tuning.

Remote Static Mode

Remote Static Mode is a subset of Dynamic Mode in that once a transfer from the RX to the TX is completed
successfully, no other transfer will be made unless specifically requested. The DDC data stored in the TX PROM
will not change regardless of display changes.

Advantage: Allows the user to acquire and use an EDID table regardless of changes in connection at the RX.
Limitations: No communication link from the CPU to the display. Remote Static prevents the use of HDCP or

monitor configuration/color tuning. This may result in no video if a display with lower resolution capability is
subsequently connected.

Pass-Thru Mode

Does not work with HDCP compliant modules.

Local Static Mode

Local Static mode operates in the same manner as Remote Static mode, except that the EDID table is read
from a monitor plugged into the local port of the TX. The TX will read the DDC from the locally connected
monitor until it reads a valid EDID table. The table will then be stored on the TX and presented to the CPU.

Advantages: The TX does not need to be connected to the video card or RX. The EDID table can be loaded

before the TX is installed.

Limitations: No communication link from the CPU to the display. This prevents the use of HDCP or monitor

configuration/color tuning and may result in loss of remote video if a display with lower resolution capability is
connected to the RX.

Default EDID Table

Two EDID Tables are present. One supports resolutions of 1920x1200 and the other supports 1920x1080.

Advantage: Sends a valid EDID table to the CPU to boot the graphics adapter .
Limitations:

Default EDID table may not support required resolutions.

Pass-Thru Mode

The units act as a direct connection between the TX and RX. This mode allows the CPU to communicate directly
with the monitor.

Advantage: Allows monitor color tuning and HDCP.
Limitations: If a monitor is not connected to the RX, most video cards will not boot. Does not work with HDCP

compliant modules.

Local Static Mode

Local Static mode operates in the same manner as Remote Static mode, except that the EDID table is read
