1 Introduction Welcome to Kramer Electronics! Since 1981, Kramer Electronics has been providing a world of unique, creative, and affordable solutions to the vast range of problems that confront the video, audio, presentation, and broadcasting professional on a daily basis.
2 Getting Started We recommend that you: Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging • materials for possible future shipment • Review the contents of this user manual • Use Kramer high-performance, high-resolution cables Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com to check for up-to-date user manuals, application programs, and to check if firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate). i 2.
3 Overview The 616T and 616R are a small and lightweight fiber optic transmitter and receiver pair that transmit uncompressed resolutions up to WQXGA (2560x1600 @60Hz) or WQUXGA (3840x2400 @33Hz vertical refresh rate) over dual link DVI to a range of up to 500 meters (1640 feet) over duplex multimode fiber optic cable with two LC connectors. The 616T converts dual link DVI signals to optical signals that it transmits to the 616R. The 616R decodes the optical signals back to a dual link DVI signal.
3.1 Powering the 616T and the 616R Your 616T/616R pair comes with two 5V DC power adapters. The 616R module must always be powered by the power adapter. The 616T can be powered either by an external power adapter or internally from the 5V pin on the DVI card of the computer. The 616T automatically detects if it is being powered via the external power adapter, and if so, the internal power supply is cut off. Use of the external power adapter for the 616T is strongly recommended for better performance.
4 Using the Dual-Link Detachable Optical DVI System This section describes how to: 4.1 • Capture the EDID of the display device (see Section 4.1) • Connect the detachable optical DVI transmitter and receiver (see Section 4.2) • Avoid pitfalls when using the 616T and 616R (see Section 4.3) Capturing the EDID 7B The 616T and 616R are connected via one dual link channel. The EDID of the display device is captured by the transmitter for the computer to read.
5. Disconnect the 616T from the display. The new EDID information is stored. Figure 1: The Auto EDID Button on the 616T 4.2 Connecting the Dual-Link Detachable Optical DVI System To connect the 616T Dual-Link Detachable Optical DVI Transmitter with the 616R Dual-Link Detachable Optical DVI Receiver, as the example in Figure 3 illustrates, do the following: 1. Capture the EDID of the display device (see Section 4.1). 2.
Figure 2: Connecting the Fiber Optic Cable 6. Turn on the computer power and then turn on the display device power. 7. If the transmitter does not power up, connect the 5V power adapter to the 616T transmitter, and connect the adapter to the mains electricity. You can use the power supplied through a DVI pin from the graphic cards instead of using the power adapter. After completing the installation, if the system does not seem to work properly, reconnect the power adapter while the system is powered.
