    2408RGBT/DVIT RGBHV/DVI Portable SFP Fiber Transmitter 1.1. SETTING UP THE DDC VALUE DDC (Display Data Channel) is a series of protocols that enables plug and play communication between a graphics adapter and a computer monitor. It allows the display to communicate its supported display modes and display parameters to the graphics adapter.

  • Page 14: Installation

    An industry-standard DB-15 connector adapter may be used for RGB. Figure 2-1 shows all rear plate options for the 2408RGBT/DVIT. When installing the Evertz SFP module into the rear plate SFP housing, align the transmit and receive arrow indicators UPWARDS with the 2408RGBT/DVIT module upright.

  • Page 15: Optical Connections

    DB-15 to DVI-I adapter such as the Belkin F2E4162, or appropriately terminated cable assembly such as the Amp 16539332-1. Note: When making digital DVI connections, Evertz recommends using only high quality DVI cables, no longer than 6 feet (1.8m). AUDIO INPUTS (A2 Version): The 2408RGBT/DVIT-A2 module provides a terminal block for input connections compatible with either balanced or unbalanced analog audio.

    Triangular band: black Symbol: black 2.4.2. Assembly Assembly or repair of the laser sub-module is performed only at the Evertz facility by qualified Evertz technical personnel. 2.4.3. Labeling Certification and Identification labels are combined into one label. As there is not enough room on the product to place the label, it is reproduced here in the manuals.

  • Page 18: Handling And Connecting Fibers

    The transmission characteristics of the fiber are dependent on the shape of the optical core and therefore care must be taken to prevent fiber damage caused by heavy objects or abrupt fiber bending. Evertz recommends that you maintain a minimum bending radius of 5 cm to avoid fiber-bending loss that will decrease the maximum attainable distance of the fiber cable.
