Voyager Applications
The
Voyager
extension
products
can
be
utilized
in
a
variety
of
system
topologies
to
suit
specific
needs.
This
includes
basic
point
‐
to
‐
point
extension,
daisy
‐
chained
extension,
switched
video
(by
adding
a
VG
‐
Matrix
switch),
and
automatic
2:1
switch
or
failover
‐
backup
(2:1
switch
at
receiver).
Below
are
some
examples
of
these
configurations.
Please
contact
Magenta
to
discuss
your
specific
system
‐
configuration.
Basic HDMI-TX/RX, with RS232
This
configuration
example
shows
a
very
basic
point
‐
to
‐
point
extension
application
for
HDMI
video.
If
the
source
content
is
protected
(with
HDCP),
then
it
will
remain
protected
to
the
local
port,
and
all
the
way
to
the
receiver’s
output.
If
the
source
provides
embedded
HDMI
‐
audio,
that
will
be
passed
to
the
remote
HDMI
display
unmodified.
The
HDMI
‐
digital
audio
can
also
be
driven
out
the
analog
audio
jacks.
There
is
also
full
‐
duplex
serial
‐
control
of
the
display.
Since
a
duplex
(twin)
fiber
is
being
used
between
the
TX
and
RX
units,
the
display
CAN
send
responses
back
to
the
control
system.
If
a
simplex
(single)
fiber
were
used,
then
only
video
and
serial
can
flow
TO
the
display,
and
no
responses
can
be
returned
to
the
control
system.
