NOTES: • Ensure that you use the proper fiber cable for your transmitter/receiver
pair. Typically, singlemode fiber has a yellow jacket and multimode cable
has an orange or aqua jacket.
• Only one fiber optic cable, transmitter-Tx-to-receiver-Rx, is required for
video, audio, and serial command transmission. However, if you connect
only one fiber optic cable, or if your receiver is configured to daisy-chain
the optical signal:
•
The HDMI signal output by the receiver is not HDCP-compliant.
•
You will not receive RS-232 reports from the controlled device.
To receive responses from the controlled device and for HDCP
compliance, you need to install both fiber optic cables and leave link 2
enabled (via an
to the receiver or using the
Processing Product Control Program
).
Ä
Rx — For all one-way video, audio, and serial communications from the transmitter

Daisy chain configuration — For daisy-chained video, audio, and serial
communications to the Rx connector on another receiver (see figure 4).
NOTE: The Tx connector emits light in either case and the Rx port receives light.
Connect the free end of this fiber optic cable to either of the following:
•
The Rx connector on a compatible transmitter or to any other compatible Extron

•
The Rx connector on another receiver in the daisy chain
Tx Link and Rx Link LEDs — When lit, the link is active (light is received).
