Never look directly into an optical fiber. Irreversible eye damage can occur in a matter of milliseconds. Do not hook up the 2407RGBT/DVIT DWDM cards directly to companion receivers with short fiber optic cables. The 2407RGBT/DVIT DWDM cards produce +7dBm of power, which will damage the receiver if connected directly.

2407RGBT/DVIT DVI and RGB Video/Audio Portable Fiber Transmitter INSTALLATION The 2407RGBT/DVIT modules are stand-alone units that have one DVI-I video connector and (depending on the options ordered) may also have analog audio terminals, PS2 keyboard and mouse connectors, a DB9 serial connector, and a type-B USB connector. In addition, there will be SC/PC (shown), ST/PC, or FC/PC optical connector(s).
Using a PS2 cable, connect this port to the PS2 keyboard port on the computer. MOUSE (A2KM Versions): The 2407RGBT/DVIT-A2KM provides a PS2 port for a mouse connection. Using a PS2 cable, connect this port to the PS2 mouse port on the computer.
Triangular band: black Symbol: black 2.3.2. Assembly Assembly or repair of the laser sub-module is performed only at the Evertz facility by qualified Evertz technical personnel. 2.3.3. 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.
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.

2407RGBT/DVIT DVI and RGB Video/Audio Portable Fiber Transmitter CARD-EDGE MONITORING AND CONTROL 4.1. ACCESSING THE TOGGLE SWITCH AND PUSH BUTTON To expose the card edge controls you must remove the side panel. To do so, follow the instructions listed below: 1.
4.2. CARD EDGE OPERATION The 2407RGBT/DVIT has four LED status indicators and a four-digit dot-matrix display on the front card- edge to show the card’s operational status at a glance. The card-edge pushbutton and toggle switch are used to select various control and status indicators on the dot-matrix display. Figure 4-4 shows the locations of the indicators and controls.
2407RGBT/DVIT DVI and RGB Video/Audio Portable Fiber Transmitter 4.3. STATUS INDICATOR LEDS LOCAL FAULT: This red LED indicates poor module health. Several conditions could cause this fault indication to be active: o The output laser is disabled (see section 4.4.2)
4.4.2. Selecting the Output Laser Control Mode In some applications, it is beneficial to disable the laser output with no input signal present. Alternatively, it may be preferable to maintain an optical output signal, even with no input. The 2407RGBT/DVIT supports both modes of operation.
2407RGBT/DVIT DVI and RGB Video/Audio Portable Fiber Transmitter 4.4.4. Selecting the Display Data Channel Mode The Display Data Channel is a digital connection between a computer display and the graphics adapter that allows the display to communicate its specifications to the adapter.
4.4.7. Adjusting the Headphone Jack Volume (A2 & A2KM Versions Only) The 2407RGBT/DVIT provides a convenient audio monitoring headphone jack at the card-edge. This jack can be used to verify signal presence or content for each audio channel. The headphone jack volume can be adjusted via the card-edge interface.
