DVI-OPT-220-Pro series – User's Manual
1.1. Description
Lightware DVI-OPT-TX220-Pro is a Single Link DVI optical transmitter
and DVI-OPT-RX220-Pro is a Single Link DVI optical receiver. They use
a single multimode fiber to extend DVI signals.
DVI-OPT-TX220-Pro and DVI-OPT-RX220-Pro are assembled with
Neutrik NO2-4FDW type LC duplex fiber connector, while DVI-OPT-
TX220-ST-Pro and DVI-OPT-RX220-ST-Pro are assembled with ST fiber
optical connector.
The extenders conform to DVI 1.0 specification, and handle signals
between 25 - 165MHz pixel clock frequency: from 640x480@60Hz to
1920x1200@60Hz or 2048x1080@60Hz resolutions.
The extenders have an RS-232 serial port for remote control
applications and firmware upgrade. The transmitter has a control
panel for local control operation as well.

ST fiber connector
RS232 9-pole D-SUB
male to female
straight serial cable
Advanced EDID Management
The user can emulate any EDID on the inputs
independently, read out and store any attached
monitor's EDID in 100 internal memory locations,
upload and download EDID files using Lightware Device
Controller software.
Pixel Accurate Reclocking
Each output has a clean, jitter free signal, eliminating
signal instability and distortion caused by long cables
or connector reflections.
Supports all HDTV resolutions
720p, 1080i, 1080p etc. without HDCP encoding.
Unencrypted signals up to 165 MHz pixel clock
frequency - regardless of the resolution - are passed
through.
Single Fiber Technology
All of the high-speed TMDS data lanes are transmitted
using only one multimode 50/125 fiber optical cable.
Break-out LC connector
A break-out LC fiber optical connector allows users to
transmit the signal of two transmitters in one Neutrik
OpticalCON Duo cable. For more details see the
Application Example of Break-out Connector section.
Local Monitor Output
User can attach a local monitor to observe the video
signal sent through the fiber optical cable. The
resolution and clock frequency are the same on DVI
and fiber optical connectors, no internal scaling or
conversion is applied.
