\ The extenders are Class 1 laser products.

CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT

Introduction

The HDMI-OPTN series transmitter and receiver devices are fiber extenders based on SDVoE technology and allow users to extend HDMI 2.0 compliant video, audio and control signals from a single source to multiple destinations through a fiber optical link.
Beyond the benefits of sending high-resolution video and USB2.0 data to a distance of up to 10km via fiber, the extenders are also able to handle various connectivity standards, including a 1G user Ethernet channel over the 10G link, as well as command injection into RS-232.
The Gigabit Ethernet ports are also valuable additions, allowing users to connect Ethernet capable devices to the network directly through the OPTX extenders. This is particularly useful for controlling external devices like projectors and displays.

HDCP 2.3 and basic EDID management functionality are also among the features offered by these devices, such as their connectivity and easy integration into a wide range of AV operations and with 3rd party devices, such as the Christie Terra projector.

Composite USB2.0 transmission adds the ability to connect remote USB-HID devices to a host computer through an extender pair. Transparent USB2.0, on the other hand, provides support for various types of USB2.0 devices like webcams, microphones, touch displays just to name a few.

Transmitter Side

OPTN

Option 1 - Point-multipoint connection - Connect singlemode or multimode (depends on the installed SFP+ modules) fiber optical cables or DAC cables between the OPTN output port of the transmitter and the SFP+ port of the 10G network switch.
Option 2 - Point-to-point connection - Connect singlemode or multimode (depends on the installed SFP+ modules) fiber optical cables or DAC cables between the OPTN output port of the transmitter and the OPTN input port of the receiver. In this case, the extender operates as a OPTX device. b User Ethernet is also transmitted over the OPTN interface, so be sure not to create a network loop.

USB-C

Connect the host PC to the Host port by an USB-C cable. The port supports USB 2.0 standard and receives USB data only, no AV transmission allows.
\ The port is available in the TX200AU2K model only.

HDMI in

Audio out Optionally for analog output: connect an audio device (e.g. active speakers) to the analog audio output port by an audio cable.

USB-A RS-232

USB 2.0 ports: connect up to four USB 2.0 devices (e.g. pendrive/ microphone/webcam/etc) to the receiver.
USB HID ports: connect up to two USB HID devices to the receiver (preferably mouse and keyboard). \ The ports are available in the RX100AU2K model only.
Optionally for RS-232: connect a device (e.g. 4K projector) to the RS-232 port.

Ethernet Power

Connect the device to a LAN network.

b User Ethernet is also transmitted over the SFP+ interface so be sure not to create a network loop!

Network Requirements
The HDMI-OPTN series extenders require managed network switches that support 10Gbps (10GbE) line speed. BlueRiver technology transmits uncompressed or lightly compressed video of up to 4K along with other AV signals such as audio and control signals.
Network Switch Requirements
The following are the Layer 2 multicast configurations that are required on all the network switches:
 IGMP version 2 supported  IGMP version 2 snooping enabled  Filter/Drop unregistered multicast traffic  Disable unregistered multicast flooding  Enable fast leave support

Applied Ports

Protocol TCP

Port Number 6970

Description
Used for communications between control software and BlueRiver Control Server.

Firmware Upgrade
