1.1. General Introduction
The EX-DVID-2LC optical DVI modular can transfer digital video and Clock signal up to 1500m by
2-core single mode optical ber and 500m by 2-core multimode optical ber at 1920*1200@60Hz
resolution.
The transmitter has the function of EDID self-programming. It can store the EDID from the monitor to
make itself adapt to monitors with different resolutions.
1.2. Main Functions
- Support DVI 1.0, transmitting by optical ber, through virtual DDC, support DDC2B.
- Optical ber connection: adopt 2-core multimode or single mode optical LC ber

1.5. Power Adapter Specication
input power : AC : 100-240V ,50/60HZ 0.36A
output power : DC : 5V : 2A
1.6. Installation requirement
(1) hardware requirement
Make sure your DVI port supports the display’s maximum image resolution. If you have already in-
stalled a DVI graphic controller or card, no special requirements for memory, CPU speed and chipset.
(2) software requirement
If your OS is already installed with a DVI graphics controller, there will no special restrictions.

the external DC power adapter and graphics card. You can choose to use the AC/DC power adapter
freely, it depends on your graphics card whether you should provide a +5V supply. But receiver mod-
ule Rx should use a +5 V AC/DC power adapter.
Note: Under normal situations, most of the laptops and desktop PCs with PCI Express graphics card,
will need to use the AC/DC power adapter at the transmitter.
