INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the DVI FM 1000 PLUS. Your complete satisfaction is very important to us.

Gefen

Gefen delivers innovative, progressive computer and electronics add-on solutions that harness integration, extension, distribution and conversion technologies.

Gefen’s reliable, plug-and-play products supplement cross-platform computer systems, professional audio/video environments and HDTV systems of all sizes with hard-working solutions that are easy to implement and simple to operate.

The Gefen DVI FM 1000 PLUS

The DVI FM 1000 Plus extender uses two small transceivers to extend a

DVI source to a display up to 3300 feet (1000 meters) using a single-strand of SC-terminated multimode fi ber optic cable. Automatic EDID Programming enables quick integration of the video source to the display. The optical signal transmission provides immunity from electromagnetic interference (EMI).

How It Works

The Sender module plugs into a DVI source. The Receiver module plugs into a DVI display. A single strand of multimode SC-terminated fi ber optic cable connects the Sender to the Receiver module.

OPERATION NOTES

READ THESE NOTES

BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERATING THE DVI FM 1000 PLUS

• The DVI FM 1000 PLUS only uses a multi-mode SC fi ber optic cable.

ATTENTION: Multi-mode fi ber optic cable with a core diameter of 50/125 is required, in order to extend to distance of 3300 feet

(1000 meters).

• The supplied power adapter must only be used on the Receiving module.

Power to the Sender module is supplied by the source through the DVI connector. If the LED on the Sender module does not activate when the source is connected and powered, an external power supply will be necessary.

• 62.5/125μm (OM1) fi ber may also be used at reduced maximum range of up to 1000 feet (300 meters).

EDID PROGRAMMING

EDID Programming Procedure

Display information (EDID) contains resolution and timing information for your display. This information is needed by the source for proper video output. Follow these steps to record the EDID of the display into the Sender module. If you know that EDID is not required by the source, the followings steps for recording will not be necessary.

1. Connect the Sender module to a display.

2. Power on the display.

3. Connect the included 5V DC power supply into the Sender module.

The LED on the back of the module will fl ash rapidly. Once the LED stops fl ashing and is solid, the displays EDID will have been successfully recorded.

4. Disconnect the power supply from the Sender module then from the display.
