1. INTRODUCTION This HDMI over Fiber Receiver is designed to extend your 4K UHD HDMI signal using a single segment of multi-mode optical fiber cable. Using fiber optical cable provides many advantages over traditional copper-based extension methods, including immunity to RF and magnetic interference, thinner and lighter cables, and much longer extension distances (up to 300 meters per segment).
4. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS • HDMI source equipment such as a media player, video game console or set-top box. • HDMI receiving equipment such as an HDTV, monitor or audio amplifier. • The use of “Premium High Speed HDMI” cables is highly recommended.
