Description
The HR-722A Fiber Optic Communication System allows
direct connection of VGA computers for signal transmission
over Fiber Optic cable spanning distances to 2500 ft (0.75
kilometers) on multi-mode or 35 kilometers on single-
mode fiber (approximate based on loss budget). The HR-
722A features excellent picture quality with bright and sharp
images. Gone are the usual signal degradation and smearing
of coax or twisted pair video transmission at extended
lengths. Signal integrity is also maintained through fiber
optic cables' immunity to electrical interference and cross
talk. The lightweight and small diameter fiber reduces
installation time, particularly since only 1 fiber is needed.
Fiber optic cable also has certain intrinsic benefits for
installation success including resistance to electromagnetic
interference (EMI), lightning, and the elimination of ground
loops through electrical isolation.
The HR-722A Series includes the HR-722A-T Transmitter
and HR-722A-R Receiver, both with a 15 pin HD female
connector and 3.5 mm Stereo Audio jack. Power supplies
are also included in the package for the transmitter and the
receiver.
The system is generally used with standard Multimode Fiber
(62.5/125 um or 50/125 um) with common ST- connector
type. System integration allows all other Hall Research
Technologies, Inc. VGA compatible products to be used in
conjunction with the Fiber Optic system including
Distribution Amplifiers, Switches, and VGA Breakout Cables.

How to setup the HR-722A
Notes:
•All units transmit at 1310 nm wavelength over single
mode or multimode fiber. ST connectors are
provided.
•Loss Budget and Maximum Transmission Distance:
Wavelength Loss Budget (in
dB)
Distance* (in
km)
1310 MM 0-15 0.75
1310 SM 0-15 35
* Distance specifications are only approximate and are not guaranteed.
Operating loss budget must not be exceeded
The HR-722 System is ready for immediate use. There are
LED indicators on the units for monitoring purposes. The
following instructions describe the typical installation
procedure and the function of the LED indicators.
1. Connect the video source to the video input HD-15F
connector on the transmitter unit.
2. Connect the video output on the receiver unit to the
HD-15F connector
3. Connect the fiber optic cable between the two units
4. Connect the audio input signals to
the transmitter stereo jack and the
audio output to the receiver stereo
jack.
5. Apply power to both units. Refer to
Figure 1.
6. When power is applied, the green POWER LED will
light, indicating the presence of operating power.
7. The system should now be operational.

Status of LED Indicators
TRANSMITTER:
Video: OFF: Indicates no video detected on the input.
BLINKING GREEN: Indicates either H or V sync
detected at the input but not both.
STEADY GREEN: Indicates both H and V sync
detected on the input.
Audio: OFF: Indicates no audio detected on the
transmitter unit.
BLINKING: Indicates audio detected on the
transmitter unit.
RECEIVER:
Video: OFF: Indicates no video detected over fiber
and, as a result, no video present on the
output.
BLINKING GREEN: Indicates either H or V sync
detected over the fiber but not both.
STEADY GREEN: Indicates both H and V sync
detected over fiber and, as a result, video
present on the output.
Audio: OFF: Indicates no audio detected over fiber
and, as a result, no active audio detected by
the receiver unit.
BLINKING: Indicates audio detected over fiber
and, as a result, active audio detected by the
receiver unit.
