System Requirements for Setup
Hardware requirements
You have a graphic controller card with a DVI port in your
Windows/Mac (Mac is option), or SUN system. It should support
the maximum graphic resolution feature of the display to be
connected.
In case of using a computer, no special memory size, CPU
speed and chipsets are required.
Step-by-step connection of multiple M5-2001s is strongly
recommended prior to install all M5-2001 boxes in a time.
Software requirements
No special needs, if the DVI graphic controller and display
peripheral are operational with the platform’s OS and
application.
AC/DC Power Adapter Technical Advisory
The power of M5-2000 and 2001 is designed to supply to each
module of them by plugging to each of the power plugs.

Welcome!
Congratulations on your purchase of the optical DVI daisy chain extender,
consisting of a M5-2000, Optical DVI converter and multiple M5-2001, Optical

Product Description
The M5-2000 module converts DVI input into two-channel optical signals and
transmits over multimode glass of fiber cables with duplex LC plugs to the M5-
2001 module. Also, the M5-2001 module repeats to the next M5-2001 module
and at the same time distributes into two DVI outputs. The combination of one
(1) M5-2000 and multiple M5-2001 makes DVI daisy chain connection
remotely placed at 500m (1,670ft) in maximum between modules. For the sake
of right display on connected monitors, the factory offers programming EDID of
a user’s monitor to the EEPROM in the M5-2000.
