Application Example with Break-out Connector
Using this feature, it is possible to transmit two different A/V signal from one transmitter pair to another
receiver pair with only one Neutrik opticalCON DUO cable. See the application example below.
Transmitter Unit (HDMI20-OPTC-TX220-Pro)
The transmitter’s laser driver sends the signal through
Channel A
.
Channel B
is directly connected to the
break-out connector with a fiber optical cable inside the
unit. Any optical signal can be transferred through this
channel in any direction.
Receiver Unit (HDMI20-OPTC-RX220-Pro)
The receiver’s laser sensor gets the signal through
Channel B
.
Channel A
is directly connected to the break-
out connector with a fiber optical cable inside the unit.
Any optical signal can be transferred through this

section.
Port Diagram of Optical Interface
The Neutrik opticalCON DUO cable has two fiber channels, named
channel A
and
channel B
. Since Lightware
fiber extenders use only one fiber for signal transmission, the other fiber can be used by other optical devices.
The unused fiber channel is accessible by the break-out connector.
INFO: Red line shows the main direction of the video signal. The blue line represents the optical signal via
break-out connector, which direction is not specified (only one direction is available at the same time).
