READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR
OPERATING THE EXTENDER FOR HDMI 1.3 OVER ONE FIBER WITH IR
• Use one SC terminated multi-mode fi ber optic cable to operate the HDMI 1.3
Over One Fiber with IR.
• 1080p video may be extended up to 1000 feet (300m), depending on the
type of fi ber optic cable used. The following maximum extension distances
will be possible depending on the types of fi ber optic cabling that are used:
• 100m (330 ft) on 62.5/125 μm (OM1) multi-mode SC fi ber
• 300m (1000 ft) on 50/125 μm (OM3) multi-mode SC fi ber
• The Extender will automatically attempt to calibrate a fi ber optic cable when
powered on so as to optain optimum data transmission. This procedure can
take up to 60 seconds. It is advised to calibrate a cable upon fi rst use and
then store the calibration values inside the memory of the Extender units, us-
ing the Lock feature (page 8). Otherwise the Extender will attempt calibration
every time power is applied.
• When changing fi ber optic cables, it is advised that you perform a new
calibration operation for best performance. You will need to erase the stored
(Locked) prior calibration values and allow the Extender to calibrate the new
cable. (See page 8).
• IR repeater functionality is only from the receiving unit to the sending unit. IR
data cannot be transmitted from the sending unit to the receiving unit.
