Important Safety Instructions
Please read and keep the information in the attached
safety instructions supplied with the product before start
using the device.
The extenders are Class 3R laser products.
Introduction
DVI-OPT-TX110 and DVI-OPT-RX110 pair is a DVI to fiber transmitter / receiver set for
up to 2500 m distance transmission. Using Single Fiber Technology the DVI-D signal is
transmitted over only one multimode 50/125 fiber core. Sources and display devices are
galvanically isolated against ground loops and hum effects, and no delay occurs in the
signal, the video image is transported without any frame latency.

1
DVI input
Connect to a DVI source for transmitting a DVI signal or
connect to a sink device for learning the EDID; see the
Learning an EDID section.
2
Power LED
The LED lights green if the power supply is sufficient (DVI
or external adaptor supply).
3
EDID LED
Three-colored LED displays EDID status. See legend for
indications.
4
Learn button
Press the button for 2 seconds to activate
Learn
mode.
Press for 10 seconds to restore factory default EDID.
5
Power connector
Barrel plug receptacle for external power adaptor.
6
Fiber connector
SC type receptacle for multimode fiber output.
Using the LEARN button (Transmitter)
When the button is pressed the EDID state LED turns off to indicate the button press.
If the button is released sooner than 2 seconds, the press will be ignored.
If the button is pressed for more than 2 seconds, the EDID learn mode gets activated
for a period of 10 seconds.
If the button is pressed for more than 10 seconds and the unit is not connected to a
display device, the factory default EDID will be restored.

Learning an EDID (Transmitter)
1. Plug in the power adaptor to an electrical outlet, or plug in the enclosed USB power
cable to an USB connector, and then connect the DC cable to the transmitter.
2. The power and the EDID state LEDs light up.
3. Press and hold down the LEARN button for two seconds. The EDID state LED goes
dark, and then lights up orange to indicate that learn mode is activated.
4. Connect the transmitter to a display device; the learn mode is active for 10 seconds.
5. The transmitter reads the EDID from the display device. Do not disconnect the device
while it lights orange (approximately 10 seconds).
6. Check if the learning succeeded:
a. If the learning process was successful, the EDID state LED blinks slowly green for
8 seconds. The stored EDID is changed.
b. If the learning process failed, the EDID state LED blinks slowly red for 8 seconds.
The previously stored EDID remains in memory.
c. The EDID state LED changes continuous green or red depending on the validity
of the stored EDID.
7. Disconnect the transmitter (if still connected) and the power supply. The stored EDID
remains in memory until it is overwritten. The unit is ready to be used for DVI signal
extension.

6
Fiber connector
SC type receptacle for multimode fiber input.
OPT
Connect a multimode SC fiber cable to the SC MM IN connector on the RX110
unit.
DVI
Connect the receiver to the DVI sink (e.g. monitor).
Power
Power on the DVI sink (monitor).
OPT
Connect the other end of the multimode SC fiber cable to the SC MM OUT
connector on the transmitter (TX110) unit.
DVI
Connect the transmitter to a DVI source (e.g. computer).
Power
Power on the DVI source (computer). It reads the EDID from the transmitter,
and outputs the video signal according to the set resolution.
Check the LEDs on the transmitter:
a. If both the power LED and the EDID status LEDs are green, the
transmitter is ready to use.
b. If the power LED does not light up, the DVI source does not send
enough power through the DVI connector, so the external power
adaptor or the special USB power cable needs to be connected to
the transmitter.
c. If the EDID state LED lights red, an EDID has to be learned.
After powering on the TX110 unit shows its three digit firmware version with red, green and
orange blinks (FW 1.1.6 is: 1x red, 1x green, 6x orange).
