Avoid exposure to the beam.
Introduction
HDMI-3D-OPT-DD series devices extend HDMI 1.4 signals over one multimode fiber and transmit video signal with embedded audio to a distance of up to 2500 meters.
HDMI-3D-OPT-TX210DD transmitter was designed to handle HDMI 1.4 digital video signal and analog stereo audio from local inputs or HDMI embedded audio up to eight channel PCM or HBR audio. Analog audio is converted into digital format. The device has a local HDMI video output for monitoring. The video and the embedded audio of the local output is the same as the one transmitted via the OPT link.
HDMI-3D-OPT-RX110DD optical receiver provides extension of uncompressed Full-HD video and audio over one multimode fiber up to 2500 m. The unit offers an analog audio output and works at all standard AV resolutions.
HDMI-3D-OPT-DD series extenders offers data diode technology which means an optical fiber with a sender on one side and a receiver on the other ensures that data can only be transferred in a forward direction, and never in reverse. This means no two-way transfer, preventing leakage and manipulation from taking place.
Compatibility
The transmitter and the receiver units are compatible only with each other.

Mounting
To mount the devices Lightware supplies optional accessories for different usage. There are two kinds of mounting kits with similar fixing method. The transmitter and receiver havetwo mounting holes with inner thread on the bottom side. Fasten the device by the screwsenclosed to the accessory.
The Under-desk and Under-desk double mounting kit makes it easy to mount a single device on any flat surface, e.g. furniture. 1U high rack shelf provides mounting holes for fastening two half-rack or four quarter-rack sized units. Pocket-sized devices can also be fastened on the shelf. To order mounting accessories please contact sales@lightware.com.
The transmitter is half-rack, the receiver is quarter-rack sized.
Using different (e.g. longer) screws may cause damage to the device.
