NOTES:• Ensurethatyouusetheproperfibercableforyourtransmitter/receiver
pair. Typically, singlemode fiber has a yellow jacket and multimode cable
has an orange or aqua jacket.
 • Only one fiber optic cable, transmitter-Tx-to-receiver-Rx, is required for
video, audio, and serial command transmission. However, if you connect
only one fiber optic cable, or if your receiver is configured to daisy-chain
the optical signal:
• The HDMI signal output by the receiver is not HDCP-compliant.
• You will not receive RS-232 reports from the controlled device.
To receive responses from the controlled device and for HDCP
compliance, you need to install both fiber optic cables and leave link 2
enabled via an SIS command [see page 18] or using the Signal
Processing Product Control Program [see page 24]).
