614T, 614R - 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 614T, 614R 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.

2.2 Safety Instructions

Caution:

There are no operator serviceable parts inside the unit

Warning:

Use only the Kramer Electronics input power wall

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

cause the concentration of the laser radiation to be increased

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/.

614T, 614R - Overview

3 Overview

The 614T and 614R are a detachable optical transmitter and receiver for sending

DVI-D signals with resolutions of up to 1920x1200 at 60Hz over one multimode

fiber optic cable with SC connectors. The 614T converts the DVI-D signal to an

optical signal that it transmits to the 614R. The 614R decodes the optical signals

back to a single link DVI-D signal.

The 614T and 614R feature:

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

Supported resolutions of up to WUXGA, 2K or 1080p (XGA not supported)

A range of up to 500m (1640ft) (multimode)

1 SC multimode fiber optic cable connector

EDID capture that copies and stores the EDID from a display device (614T)

Standards compliance - supports DVI1.0, fully implemented by fiber-optic

communication and DDC2B by virtual DDC

Compliance with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15

and 2 of FCC and CE

Laser standards compliance - IEC 60825-1, FDA 21CFR1040;

Laser Class 1: Safety of laser products

No EMI/RFI for connected cables

HDTV compatibility, no HDCP compliance

Two external 5V DC power adapters (supplied)

NanoTools size

614T, 614R - Overview

3.1 Powering the 614T and the 614R

Your 614T/614R pair comes with two 5V DC power adapters. The 614R module

must always be powered by the power adapter. The 614T can be powered either

by an external power adapter or internally by the 5V pin on the DVI card of the

computer. The 614T automatically detects if it is being powered via the external

power adapter, and if so, the internal power supply will be cut off. Use of the

external power adapter for the 614T is strongly recommended for better

performance.

614T, 614R - Using the Detachable Optical DVI System

4 Using the Detachable Optical DVI System

This section describes how to:

Capture the EDID of the display device (see Section 4.1)

Connect the One-Fiber Detachable Optical DVI Transmitter and receiver (see

Section 4.2)

Troubleshoot the 614T and 614R (see Section 4.3)

4.1 Capturing the EDID

The 614T and 614R are connected via one channel that transmits R, G, B and

clock signals. The EDID of the display device is captured by the transmitter for the

computer to read.

The factory default EDID is set to UXGA (1600x1200). If your display has this

resolution, you do not need to capture the EDID.

You can capture the EDID of the display device on the 614T so that when the

computer connects to the 614T, it reads the virtual EDID information and identifies

the display device. This procedure is performed only once for the connected

display device. After storing the EDID, the system can be connected and

disconnected without having to set the EDID again. If the display device is

replaced, the new EDID must be set on the 614T transmitter.

To capture the EDID of a display device, do the following:

1. Power the display on.

2. Connect the 5V power adapter to the power socket of the 614T, and connect

the adapter to the mains electricity.

The power LED lights.

3. Push the EDID button (illustrated in Figure 1), using a thin screwdriver.

The status LED lights.

614T, 614R - Using the Detachable Optical DVI System

4. Connect the 614T unit directly to the display device.

The status LED flashes rapidly while reading the EDID and turns off after

about 7-8 seconds.

5. Disconnect the 614T from the display.

The new EDID information is stored.

4.2 Connecting the One-Fiber Detachable Optical DVI

System

To connect the 614T One-Fiber Detachable Optical DVI-D Transmitter with the

614R One-Fiber Detachable Optical DVI-D Receiver, as the example in Figure 2

illustrates, do the following:

1. Set the EDID of the display device (see Section 4.1).

2. Plug the 614T DVI connector directly to the DVI connector of the computer.

Do not use any intermediate cable or adapter between them.

3. Connect the 614R to the 5V DC power adapter and connect the adapter to

the mains electricity. The indication LED lights.

4. Connect the 614R DVI connector directly to the DVI connector of the display

device.

Do not use any intermediate cable or adapter between them.

5. Connect the single multimode fiber cable with SC connectors to the 614T

and 614R modules.
