7.2  Using Component video with the system 

The 

611T

 and 

611R

 system is designed to transfer a Composite video signal. The wide bandwidth of the system 

allows transfer of Component video signals by using multiple sets of machines. Two sets can be used to transfer 

s–Video signals (Y and C) and three sets can be used to transfer Component video (Y, U, V). In each case the 

cable  lengths  of  all  the  signals  involved  (video  cables  and  the  optic  fibers)  should  be  of  equal  lengths. 

Adjustment, if needed, may be done as explained above. 

8  ADDING AUDIO TO THE SYSTEM 

Although the 

611T

 and 

611R

 pair is designed to carry video signals, audio may be added to the system. The 

Kramer 

VA-11

 and 

VA-12

 allows combining and separating two stereo audio signals and a video signal to and 

from  one  coaxial  connector.    The 

VA-11

  combines  two  audio  channels  (stereo)  and  a  video  signal  to  a 

“MIXED” output. This mixed signal may be fed into a 

611T

 transmitter, transferred over a long distance and 

recovered via the 

611R

 receiver. The recovered “MIXED” signal may be fed into a 

VA-12

, which will separate 

the signal into its audio and video components.  

Other signals, such as low frequency data signals and so on, may be used instead of one or both audio channels. 

The 

611T/611R

 set may be used for digital audio (AES/EBU) transmission instead of Composite video. 

 

9  TYPICAL APPLICATION 

A typical application, which is self-explanatory, is described below in Figure 3:

10  TAKING CARE of YOUR FIBER OPTIC DEVICES 

Do  not  locate  your  device  in  an  environment  where  it  is  susceptible  to  dust  or  moisture.  Both  of  these  may 

damage the electronics, and cause erratic operation or failure. Do not locate your device where temperature and 

humidity may be excessive. The fiber optic transmitting and receiving chips are very sensitive to heat. Doing so 

may  also  damage  the  electronics,  and  cause  erratic  operation  or  failure  of  your  machine.  Do  not  clean  your 

machine with abrasives or strong cleaners. Doing so may remove or damage the finish, or may allow moisture to 

build up. Take care not to allow dust or particles to build up inside unused or open connectors.
