1
OPTICAL LED: This blue LED will illuminate when at least one
optical cable is connected and has successfully detected and
communicated data between the Transmitter and Receiver.
Note: If the LED is not illuminated then users will need to check
the connection of the ber cable between the Transmitter and
Receiver units and then check the connection is good and that
the cable itself is correct and undamaged.
2
ERROR LED: This red LED will illuminate when there is an error in the
input signal data rate that is higher than 75/170MHz (Single/Dual).
Double Check all connections and make sure they are properly
connected.
3
HDMI LED: This blue LED will illuminate when the Transmitter unit is
receiving a HDMI signal from the source device.
4
HDMI INPUT: Connect to an HDMI input source such as a DVD or
Blu-ray player with a HDMI cable.

RS-232: Connect to a PC or laptop (with supplied 3.5mm phone
jack to D-Sub 9pin adaptor) for the transmission of RS-232
commands.
7
OPTICAL SUB & MAIN: Connect the Transmitter and Receiver units
with 2-way ber optical cable to transmit the data signal
Note: Connector Type: LC-LC, Fiber: Duplex Single-mode Fiber
