RSS S-OPT Owner's Manual

Owner's Manual

Main Specifications

S-OPT is a REAC optical converter that converts RSS Digital Snake System REAC
signals to and from optical signals for long-distance digital audio transmission. By
using this REAC optical converter and optical cables (sold separately), the REAC
transmission distance can be extended to a maximum of 2 kilometers.
S-OPT has the following properties:
• The S-OPT optical connectors are Neutrik OpticalCon connectors and support
Mobile Fiber Cable from Neutrik. This optical interface provides for transmitting
sound over long distances via optical cables while still taking advantage of the
RSS Digital Snake System's mobility.
• Because the OpticalCon connector also provides a Dual LC optical connector
(standard LC-Duplex connector, IEC 61754-20), less expensive optical cables
can be used for permanent installations of the RSS Digital Snake System.
• Two S-OPT units can be connected using the proprietary POWER LINK cable
(ARC-15, sold separately) so that redundant power can be supplied from one
unit to the other. If power to a single unit is interrupted due to some situation
or is damaged, both units will still continue to operate.
Before using this unit, carefully read the sections entitled: "IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS" (p. 2), "USING THE UNIT SAFELY" (p. 3–4), and
"IMPORTANT NOTES" (p. 5). These sections provide important information
concerning the proper operation of the unit. Additionally, in order to ensure
that you have gained a good grasp of every feature provided by your new
unit, the Owner's Manual should be read in its entirety. The manual should be
saved and kept on hand as a convenient reference.
