3-Channel DVI Extender - Installation and Operation Manual 3

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing the BLACK BOX 3-Channel DVI Extender.

Its use of ﬁberoptic cables permits transmission of video signals without

any compression.

This ensures completely loss-free data transmissions with full video

refresh rates.

The result:

Excellent image quality, even at high resolutions!

You will not only enjoy the beneﬁts of longer transmission distances,

but also make your transmission routes completely insensitive to

electromagnetic interference.

In addition, you ensure overvoltage protection of your transmission routes.

The BLACK BOX 3-Channel DVI Extender transmits three DVI-I interfaces

(digital/analog) in real time to remote monitors, displays, video projectors

and other output devices with digital interfaces.

While both digital and analog video signals can be supplied to the input side,

the output ports on the receiving side are all digital.

An MTP®/MPO 12-ﬁber multimode ﬁberoptic cable is used as the

transmission medium, facilitating achievement of 3 x 3.6 Gbps data rates.

Depending on the type of ﬁbers used in the ﬁberoptic cable (50 or 62.5 μm),

distances of up to 400 meters can be covered.

Your 3-Channel DVI Extender supplies three output devices via one joint

ﬁberoptic cable.

The 3-Channel DVI Extender supports video resolutions

up to 1920 x 1200 px @ 60 Hz with digital video input and

up to 1600 x 1200 px @ 60 Hz with analog video input.

Optionally, local output devices can also be connected to the transmitter (source).
