Introduction
Overview
The VE883 is a fiber-based extender designed to extend uncompressed 4K
signal up to 300 m (using VE883K1) or 10 km (using VE883K2) over duplex
fiber optic cables. The VE883 meets HDMI Specifications, including 3D, Deep
Color (up to 12 bit), and signaling rates (up to 10.2 Gb) to ensure superior
video quality. With ATEN’s exclusive FarSmooth technology, the VE883
prevents lagging and freezing by matching the output rates to the input rates,
and ensures that the video display is stable, smooth, and identical to the
source, particularly in long-distance extension applications where
uninterrupted video streams are required.
The VE883 features an HDMI input and output, analog audio input and output,
USB2.0, IR, RS-232 control port, and a Gigabit Ethernet port. For point-to-point
extension, the VE883 can receive fiber optic cables by inserting SFP+ modules
to its optic port.
To avoid bulky cable setup, the VE883 guarantees a simple and fast solution
for optimum transmission of Ethernet, IR, HDMI, RS-232
,
and USB signals up
to 10 km simply via a set of duplex optic fiber. The VE883 is also USB
transparent, making it compatible with a wide range of USB peripherals.
Engineered to meet the latest trend of lossless 4K and long distance signal
extension, VE883 is suitable for where long distance transmission is a must and
little interference is allowed, such as in traffic station and modern office
buildings.
