Chapter 3: Installation 3. Installation 3.1 Connections Connect the transmitter module to the DVI port on the PC/video card and connect the receiver module to the DVI port on the digital display device. Use the DVI Extender with an LC fiber optic cable (single-mode optical fiber: 9/125 µm). 3.2 EDID Setting The transmitter has a basic EDID table built in that includes the most commonly used display modes.
Chapter 3: Installation • Connect the DC power to the transmitter and power on the monitor. Figure 3-3. DC power on transmitter. • Use a paper clip to press the switch located on the transmitter for a moment. Figure 3-4. Switch on the transmitter. • Check the LED status. If the transmitter has completely read the monitor’s EDID, the blue LED will turn off and on by itself three times. • To use the factory setting, press the switch for 3 seconds. The red LED will blink three times.
Chapter 3: Installation 3.3 Installation Steps 1. Connect the transmitter to the DVI source. Figure 3-5. DVI source connector. Figure 3-6. Transmitter connected to DVI source. 2. Connect the receiver to the monitor. Figure 3-7. DVI connector on monitor. Page 20 724-746-5500 | blackbox.

Chapter 3: Installation Figure 3-10. DC power on the receiver. A blue light illuminates while the power is on. 4. Connect the fiber cable to the transmitter and the receiver. Figure 3-11. Fiber cable on the transmitter. Page 22 724-746-5500 | blackbox.
Chapter 3: Installation Figure 3-12. Fiber cable on the receiver. 5. Power on the display and restart the DVI source. The LED on the transmitter shows a violet light while the transmitter is receiving a normal video signal from the DVI source. Check your DVI source if the LED does not show any activity. The LED on the receiver shows a violet light while the receiver is sensing a normal video signal from the optical cable. Table 3-1. Console port pin assignments.
Chapter 3: Installation The extender supports audio extension. • Connect the transmitter to the DVI source and audio source. • Connect the receiver to the display and the speaker(s). • Connect the fiber cable between the transmitter and the receiver or connect any splitters. • Connect the DC power to the transmitter and the receiver. • Power on the display(s). • Restart the DVI source. Table 3-2. Loss chart.
Chapter 4: Troubleshooting 4. Troubleshooting 4.1 Problems/Solutions Problem: No image Solutions: 1. Make sure the PC power is on. 2. Check whether the computer and the monitor are properly connected. 3. Turn the PC power on and off. 4. Make sure the fiber cable between the transmitter and the receiver is properly connected. 5.
