FEATURES and OPERATION
TRANSMITTER, DVI-6000-FTX
The transmitter module is designated by model number DVI-6000-FTX. The suffixes –50
and –52 designate singlemode operation for short or long distance, respectively. Suffix -2
denotes multimode. The suffix DL indicates dual link capability.
FTX REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS: Refer to Fig. 2. The rear panel connections are an
OPTICAL OUTPUT connector for the optical fiber going to the FRX. DVI/RGB INPUT and
DVI/RGB LOOP OUT DVI-I type connectors for the DVI or RGB input and local display monitor
output, respectively. The DVI-I loopthru output is an active, buffered output for both DVI and
RGB. The DVI-6000 normally accepts DVI type video, but can also accept, with a HD-15 to DVI-A
adapter, VESA compliant analog RGB type video, and with a HDMI to DVI-D adapter, component
HDMI (YUV or YPrPb) video, such as from a DVD or Blu Ray player, provided the video is not
HDCP encrypted. (Audio embedded in the HDMI stream will not be transported. One must
provide analog audio to the FTX audio inputs).
A 9-pin DIN connector (Fig. 1) is provided for balanced 600 ohm AUDIO LINE IN and RS
232/4xx DATA I/O and a 3.5mm line-level STEREO AUDIO IN jack is provided for unbalanced
stereo audio. A screw terminal breakout board and cable is available for the DIN connector from
MultiDyne for the balanced audio and data connections.
If the optional 75 ohm cable output is fitted, there will be a BNC for this output. There will
be a matching cable input on the FRX. Note that the cable connection is one-way, from FTX to
FRX. Thus, some features, such as bi-directional data and remote EDID capture, will not be
available if this connection is used. This connection is intended for use with 3G mode. A
9~24VDC power input jack completes the rear panel.
FTX FRONT PANEL LEDS: Refer to Fig. 2. The front panel of the unit includes a POWER LED
and 9 status LEDS. They are as follows:
An EDID led, which, if BDD is fitted, glows when valid EDID data is received from the
monitor connected to the FRX when in remote EDID mode. It will blink if the EDID data received
form the FRX is invalid. It will be dark when remote EDID mode is not asserted or BDD not fitted.
A TXLOCK LED which, when illuminated, indicates FTX health, and a RXLOCK LED to
indicate return path health if BDD is fitted. The RXLOCK LED blinks if the return path has a
problem. If BDD is not fitted, it remains dark. Both the RXLOCK and TXLOCK leds will be dark if
there is a problem with the FTX itself.
There are 3 LEDS for DVI, RGB, and DL (dual link models only), which, when illuminated,
show the presence of valid DVI or RGB input video and, if the source is outputting it, dual link
DVI, respectively. The DVI or RGB LEDs will blink if video is present but the DVI-6000 does not
recognize the video format presented to it, it exceeds the DVI-6000’s capabilities, or if it is invalid.
