631T/R - Getting Started

2 Getting Started

We recommend that you:

Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging

materials for possible future shipment

Review the contents of this user manual

Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com/support/product_downloads.asp

to check for up-to-date user manuals, application programs, and to check if

firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).

2.1 Achieving the Best Performance

To achieve the best performance:

Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-

performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in

signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often

associated with low quality cables)

Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils

Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely

influence signal quality

Position your Kramer 631T/R away from moisture, excessive sunlight and

dust

This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be

connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.

adapter that is provided with the unit

Warning:

Disconnect the power and unplug the unit from the wall

before installing

Warning:

Class 1 Laser Product

Invisible laser radiation present

Avoid long-term viewing of laser

Avoid the use of magnifying viewing aids or instruments (such

as binoculars, telescopes, microscopes and magnifying lenses,

but not spectacles or contact lenses)

Avoid placing optical devices in the emitted beam that could

2.3 Recycling Kramer Products

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive 2002/96/EC

aims to reduce the amount of WEEE sent for disposal to landfill or incineration by

requiring it to be collected and recycled. To comply with the WEEE Directive,

Kramer Electronics has made arrangements with the European Advanced

Recycling Network (EARN) and will cover any costs of treatment, recycling and

recovery of waste Kramer Electronics branded equipment on arrival at the EARN

facility. For details of Kramer’s recycling arrangements in your particular country

go to our recycling pages at http://www.kramerelectronics.com/support/recycling/.

631T/R - Overview

3 Overview

The Kramer DigiTOOLS® 631T HDMI Optical Transmitter and the 631R HDMI

Optical Receiver are an optical transmitter and receiver pair for transmitting HDMI

signals up to 1600x1200 at 60Hz. The 631T converts an HDMI signal into an

optical signal and the 631R converts the optical signal back to HDMI.

The 631T/631R features:

A maximum data rate of 6.75Gbps (2.25Gbps per graphic channel)

HDTV compatibility and HDCP compliance

A system range of up to 100m (320ft)

The Power Connect™ System - Only one unit in a system, the transmitter or

the receiver, needs to be connected to a power source when the devices are

within 50m (150ft) of each other

Use of UTP (unshielded twisted pair) or STP (shielded twisted pair) cables

such as CAT 5 and fiber optic with 4 simplex or 2 duplex LC fiber connectors

A compact DigiTOOLS® structure - 3 units can be rack mounted side-by-

side in a 1U rack space with the optional RK-3T rack adapter

3.1 About the Power Connect™ Feature

The Power Connect™ feature here means that only one unit in a system, the

transmitter or receiver, needs to be connected to a power source when the

devices are within 60m (197ft) of each other. The Power Connect™ feature

applies as long as the cable can carry power and the distance does not exceed

60m on standard TP cable. (Heavier gauge cable may be used to extend the

Power Connect™ range).

4 Using the 631T/631R HDMI Optical

Transmitter/Receiver

Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to your

631T/R. After connecting your 631T/R, connect its power and then

switch on the power to each device.

You can use the 631T and 631R to configure an HDMI optical transmitter and

receiver system. This section describes how to:

Connect the 631T/631R transmitter and receiver system (see Section 4.1)

Operate the 631T/631R transmitter and receiver system (see Section 4.2)

Wire the DDC (CAT 5) RJ-45 connectors (see Section 4.3)

Avoid pitfalls (see Section 4.4)

4.1 Connecting the 631T/631R HDMI Optical

Transmitter/Receiver

To connect the 631T with the 631R, as the example in Figure 3 illustrates, do the

following:

1. On the 631T, connect the HDMI source (for example, a set top box) to the

HDMI IN connector, using the Kramer HDMI copper cable.

Note: Do not look directly into the LC receptacles of the 631T, while powered on,

although this product is regulated strictly enough to operate under the Laser Class 1,

classified by CDRH/FDA for eye safety.

2. On the 631R, connect the HDMI OUT connector to the HDMI acceptor (for

example, a display), using Kramer HDMI copper cable.

3. Remove the module dust covers and connect each duplex LC fiber cable

one-by-one to each of the four LC receptacles of the 631T and 631R. The 4

LC patch cord fiber bundled cable lets you transmit 4 channels (R, G, B, and CL

(CLOCK)) of graphic data and multi-channel audio data over it.

Note: Carefully recheck the polarities and ensure that the duplex connectors are fully

engaged.

4. Connect the DDC RJ-45C connector on the 631T to the DDC RJ-45C

connector on the 631R, via UTP cabling, see Section 4.3.

631T/R - Using the 631T/631R HDMI Optical Transmitter/Receiver

5. Connect the 12V DC, 2.1Apower adapter to the power socket of either the

631T or 631R, and connect the adapter to the mains electricity.

The signal from the HDMI source is transmitted via CAT5 and fiber optic

cables, decoded and converted at the HDMI OUT connector to the HDMI

acceptor.

The power connect feature lets you connect just one power adapter to either the

transmitter or receiver. Alternatively, connect the separate power supplies to the

transmitter and to the receiver simultaneously

4.2 Operating the 631T/631R HDMI Optical

Transmitter/Receiver

To operate the 631T/631R HDMI Optical Transmitter/Receiver system:

Turn ON the power on the set-top box and the display

Note: Avoid “hot plugging” the 631T or 631R. This is not a recommended practice with

live digital voltages (but it can be done)
