5.5.2. Infrared Signal Transmission - Example
The Concept
The IR code is sent from the PC over LAN where the message addresses the port number of the IR output
port of the receiver. The audio amplifier is controlled remotely by the IR signal.
5.6. SFP+ Interface
The F-series endpoint devices are built with 2x 10 GbE SFP+ ports to transmit the video streams between the
receiver and the transmitter, or between two transceivers.
The following methods can be applied to connect the endpoint devices to each other:
▪
2x SFP+ transceiver modules up to 10Gbps bandwidth/modules. The modules can be singlemode
or multimode, built with LC duplex connectors or BiDi modules. The maximum allowed fiber optical
cable length depends on the installed SFP+ modules. Always check the specification of the module.
▪
2x 10GbE DAC cables
INFO:
The maximum available bandwidth with the endpoint device is 20 Gbps which requires 2x 10 GbE
SFP+ module or DAC cable to install. If one 10 GbE SFP+ module is installed only but the signal is 4K@60 Hz
(which requires 14 Gbps to transmit), the signal transmission will be disabled. See more details about it
in the
section.
INFO:
For more details of the installation steps of SFP+ modules and DAC cables see the
section.
5.7. Redundant Fiber Optical Connections
The UBEX F-series and R-series endpoint models are built with two equivalent 10 GbE fiber optical channels
which are based on a redundant operating principle. It means both 10 GbE fiber optical connections are able
to take its place of the other one in case of a connection loss. For example if one of the two SFP+ modules
is pulled out during the operation, the AV transmission is going on.
ATTENTION!
The optical connection redundancy is available only in case of one or two HDMI signals where
the sum of the required bandwidth is not greater than 10 Gb/s. Please check the
INFO:
If two HDMI signals are transmitted where the sum of the bandwidth is greater than 10 Gb/s, there
are limitations in the signal transmission on transmitter and receiver sides. See more details about it in
section.
5.8. Further Built-in Features
5.8.1. Device Cloning – Configuration Backup and Restore
The device (configuration) cloning of UBEX
series extender is a simple method that
eliminates the need to repeatedly configure
certain devices to have identical (non-
factory) settings. If the devices are installed
in the same type of system multiple times
then it is enough to set up only one device to fit the user’s needs and then copy those settings to the others,
thus saving time and resources.
See more information about the settings in the
Configuration Cloning (Backup Tab)
section.
