Overview
The VE882 / VE892 is an HDMI Optical Extender that overcomes
the length restriction of standard HDMI cables by using optical
fiber to send high definition audio and video signals over large
distances.
It accepts an audio-video stream from a local source and
serializes the data to pass it over a single 3.125 Gbps optical link
(for resolutions up to 1080p@60Hz at 24-bits).
The VE882 / VE892 can also extend the IR remote control and
transfer RS-232 signals (up to 115kbps) in both directions,
allowing you to connect serial devices, such as touch screens
and barcode scanners.
