AVProEdge AC-EXO-X-KIT Quick Start Manual

8K Fiber Optic Extender Kit
Description
The AC-EXO-X-KIT is a pair of 40Gbps transmitter and
receiver modules that extend HDMI 2.1 video and audio
signals from a local source to a remote sink device over
simplex multimode fiber optic cabling. The maximum
supported video resolutions are up to 8K 60Hz 4:2:0 or 4K
120Hz 4:4:4 with 7.1 audio. Supported HDMI 2.1 features
include Auto Low Latency and Variable Refresh Rate,
along with 16 EDID presets, auto-sense scaling on both
secondary HDMI outputs, and a built-in test pattern that
can be set using the dipswitches on the back of the
transmitter.
Power Connections
Fiber optic cables do not carry an electrical charge and
cannot supply power from one unit to another. Here are
the recommended solutions to power both units.
First, power either the transmitter or receiver with the
provided 48V power supply. Next, power the other unit
using one of the following options listed below:
1 USB charger brick to USB-C input
2 Power output to power input with 18-2 cable*
3 Sink (TV or AVR) USB-A port to USB-C input
*18 AWG 2 Conductors Cable is not supplied
Note: The AC-EXO-X-KIT must be powered from both units in order for complete operation.
