Overview DXLink Fiber, Duplex

Instruction Manual – DXLink™ Fiber Transmitters and Receivers, Duplex
Fiber Optic Transceiver
The fiber optic transceiver transports digital video, embedded audio, Ethernet, and bidirectional control over fiber optic
cable to a DXLink Fiber Input Board, including digitally transcoded analog video signals. The DXLink Fiber path
supports HDCP. If the latch is black or has a black label, the SFP+ fiber optic transceiver accepts multimode cable; if the
latch is blue or has a blue label, the SFP+ fiber optic transceiver accepts single mode cable.
DXLink Fiber Receivers, Duplex
The MMF-D RX and SMF-D RX are identical except for the type of fiber optic transceiver. The MMF-D RX has a
multimode transceiver (the latch is black or has a black label), and the SMF-D RX has a single mode transceiver
(the latch is blue or has a blue label).
Note:
If a DVI-D signal is used (via a DVI-to-HDMI cable), the advanced audio support from HDMI will not be
available out the Receiver.

Components located on the front of the DXLink Fiber Receivers, Duplex (left to right):
Power LED
–
Indicates when the unit is powered on.
Video and Audio LEDs
–
Indicate the presence of video and embedded audio signals through the unit.
Scaling button and LEDs
–
Use the Scaling button to select one of the 3 scaling options: Bypass, Auto
(default), or Manual. For information on using the Scaling button and options for persisting the Scaling
Mode, see page 50.
Program port
–
This port will be supported in a future firmware upgrade.
IR LEDs – TX and RX LEDs indicate active IR communication.
232 (RS-232) LEDs – TX and RX LEDs indicate active serial communication (for details, see page 47).
NetLinx LEDs – Link/Act LED indicates network communication activity. The Status LED indicates that the
LAN connection is active.
CEC LED – CEC is not currently supported.
USB LED – When illuminated, the LED indicates that the USB port connection has been established (for
details, see page 23).
ID Pushbutton – Places the unit in ID Mode for setting the NetLinx ID (device only) and provides additional
functionality, such as placing the unit in Static IP Mode or DHCP Mode (for details see page 57).
Warning:
DXLink Fiber units use laser transceivers, which are Class 1 Eye Safe per IEC 60825-1/CDRH
requirements. While the Class 1 category indicates that the invisible laser used is safe, we recommend
avoiding direct eye exposure when using any optical fiber products (see the OSHA directive on page 13).
