OPTICIS M1-3R2VI-DU (01) PDF Document

The OPTICIS M1-3R2VI-DU module provides a 100m extension of dual link high-resolution digital graphic data over fiber, directly connecting between PCs and displays while supporting dual link DVI. It consists of two boxes, one for the PC and one for the display, connected by a 1.0 m dual link DVI copper cable. Graphic data is transmitted over a 4 LC single or multi-mode fiber bundled cable, and the Digital Display Channel (DDC2B) interface is handled over a CAT5e cable (DDC cable).

The module also offers a 2km extension over 4 single mode fibers using virtual DDC mode without a CAT5e connection. It features Self-EDID programming, where the EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) in a display can be read and stored by plugging the transmitter into the display once. The factory EDID default is set to WQXGA (2560×1600).

The shipping group for the OPTICIS M1-3R2VI-DU contains the following items:

• Tx and Rx boxes: One (1) Transmitter (Tx) Box and One (1) Receiver (Rx) Box.

• Two (2) dual link DVI copper cables: 1.0m

• AC/DC power adapter: One (1) +24V unit

• User’s Manual

• Option: DDC cable (UTP for LAN) with RJ-45C.

• Option: 4 LC Patch Cord fiber bundled cable (Single or Multi mode glass fiber).

• Option: Two +24V AC/DC power adapters are required for virtual DDC.

Hardware requirements:

• You must have a Media Receiver or a graphic controller card with a Dual link port in your Windows/Mac or SUN system. It should support the maximum graphic resolution feature of the display to be connected.

• In case of using a computer, no special memory size, CPU speed and chipsets are required.

• Proper initial trial of the entire platform with its application using a short length copper cable is recommended prior to installing with the optical link.

Software requirements:

• No special needs, if the Dual link graphic controller and display peripheral are operational with the platform’s OS and application.

Direct DDC: One power adaptor is required to supply power to both modules of TX and RX over the CAT5e cable by plugging the power jack to either of their power plugs.

Virtual DDC: Two power adapters are required to supply power to the Tx and Rx module due to no use of the CAT5e cable for DDC.

Please use the following installation procedure. Failure in operation may result if the start-up sequence is not correctly followed.

Step 1: Check that the transmitter and receiver are turned off. Set the “DDC connection” switch to the “Direct DDC” position on the front of the transmitter.

Step 2: Connect the upstream Transmitter box to the DVI receptacle of the PC through one dual link DVI copper cable (included).

Step 3: In the same way, connect the Receiver box into the DVI receptacle of the display through the other dual link DVI copper cable.

Step 4: Remove the module dust covers and connect each duplex LC fiber cable one by one to each of the 4 LC receptacles of the Transmitter and Receiver boxes. Plug channel 1 to 1 and channel 2 to 2. Carefully recheck polarities and ensure the duplex connectors are fully engaged.

Step 5: Connect each RJ-45C of the CAT5e cable to each RJ-45C receptacle of the Transmitter and Receiver boxes.

Step 6: Connect an AC/DC power adapter to the DC input terminal of either the Transmitter or Receiver box, depending on the availability of AC outlets.

Step 7: Plug the AC/DC power adapter into an AC outlet. Turn ON the PC.

Note for single link DVI: For single link DVI use, one duplex fiber or two simplex fibers are required to be plugged into one port marked “Channel 1”.

Please use the installation procedure below. Failure in operation may result if the start-up sequence is not correctly followed. This menu is for non-DDC through CAT5e.

Step 1: Check that the transmitter and receiver are turned off. Set the “DDC connection” switch to the “Virtual DDC” position on the front panel of the transmitter.

Step 2: For Self EDID programming, follow the sub-steps in the next FAQ.

Step 3: Check that the transmitter and receiver are turned off and connect the upstream Transmitter box to the DVI receptacle of the PC by one dual link DVI copper cable in the shipping group.

Step 4: In the same way as above, connect the Receiver box into the DVI receptacle of the display by the other dual link DVI copper cable.

Step 5: Remove the module dust covers and connect each duplex LC fiber cable one by one to each of the 2 LC duplex receptacles of the Transmitter and Receiver boxes. Plug channel 1 to 1 and channel 2 to 2. Carefully recheck polarities and ensure the duplex connectors are fully engaged.

Step 6: Connect two AC/DC power adapters to each of the DC input terminals of the Transmitter and Receiver boxes.

Step 7: Plug the AC/DC power adapter into an AC outlet. Turn ON the PC.

Note for single link DVI: For single link DVI use, one duplex fiber or two simplex fibers are required to be plugged into one port marked “Channel 1”. Note that self-EDID programming is also applicable in connection for single link DVI.

Self-EDID programming is part of the Virtual DDC installation process.

a) Plug the +24V power adapter into the power jack of the transmitter, and connect the adapter into an AC outlet. Ensure “Power” and “Virtual DDC” LEDs are turned ON.

b) Push the “Self-EDID” button on the front side of the Tx box. The “Virtual DDC” LED turns ON after blinking twice. The “Status” LED will turn ON. Note: Do not connect the Tx to the display without pushing the “Self-EDID” button, as the display may be damaged by unnecessary power supply through pin 16 of the DVI connector.

c) Connect the powered transmitter to the powered display through the DVI dual link cable, not to the PC. The LED blinking for 8-10 seconds indicates it is reading the EDID data. The “Virtual DDC” LED will turn OFF after blinking and programming is complete.

d) Disconnect the transmitter from the display and the power adapter.

If you want to change the display, please repeat this process. The EDID factory default is programmed with the VESA standard of WQXGA (2560×1600) 60Hz.

Yes. Please DO NOT look directly into the LC receptacles of the Transmitter when it is powered on. Although this product is regulated strictly enough to operate under the LASER Class I, classified by CDRH/FDA for eye safety, it is not recommended to do so.

If the display shows a black screen, follow these troubleshooting steps:

• Check that all AC and DC plugs and jacks used by external power supplies (both Opticis and others) are firmly connected.

• Ensure that power is turned on.

• Ensure that the TX and RX boxes are plugged correctly into the PC and display.

• Check if the PC and display are powered on and properly booted.

• Re-boot up the system after reconnecting the optical system cable.

If the screen is distorted or displays noise, try the following:

• Reset the system.

• Turn off, disconnect the LC-LC fiber cable and try to blow inside of each LC receptacle with an air blower.

• Reconnect the fiber cable and turn on.

• If noise continues, please contact your reseller for technical support.

No special maintenance is required for the optical system cables and power supplies. Ensure that the cables and power modules are stored or used in a benign environment free from liquid or dirt contamination.

There are no user serviceable parts. Refer all service and repair issues to Opticis or its authorized distributor.
