2 Getting Started
We recommend that you:
Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging
materials for possible future shipment
Review the contents of this user manual
Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com/support/product_downloads.asp
to check for up-to-date user manuals, application programs, and to check
if firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).
2.1 Achieving the Best Performance
To achieve the best performance:
Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-
performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in
signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often
associated with low quality cables)
Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils
Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely
influence signal quality
Position your Kramer 671T, 671R away from moisture, excessive sunlight
and dust
This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be
connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.

671T, 671R - Overview
3 Overview
The 671T converts the DVI signal to an optical signal, and the 671R converts the
optical signal back into a DVI signal. Together, the 671T and 671R form a DVI
transmitter/receiver over multimode fiber system.
The 671T and 671Rpair features:
A maximum data rate of 4.95Gbps (1.65Gbps per graphic channel) suitable
for resolutions up to UXGA at 60Hz, and for all HD resolutions
HDCP compliance
HDTV compatibility
Transmission of four TMDS video channels as well as one low-speed
channel for passing HDCP, EDID and a Hot Plug Detect (HPD) signal over
one multimode fiber
HDMI support for HDMI Compressed Audio Channels
EDID PassThru that passes EDID signals between the source and display
3D pass-through
A system range of 1700m (more than 5500ft)
Regulation in accordance with Class 3R Laser Eye Safety in compliance with
ANSI Z136 and IEC 60825-1:2007

4 Connecting the 671T, 671R
Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to your
671T, 671R. After connecting your 671T, 671R, connect its power and
then switch on the power to each device.
Avoid direct eye exposure into the optic connectors when powered,
although this product is regulated strictly enough to operate under the
Laser Class 3R for eye safety
To connect the 671T and 671R, as illustrated in the example in Figure 3, do the
following:
1. Connect a DVI source (for example a DVD player) to the DVI IN connector.
2. Connect the DVI OUT connector to a DVI acceptor (for example, an LCD
display).
3. Remove the dust caps and connect the OPTIC CABLE connector of the
671Tto the OPTIC CABLE connector of the 671R, via optic OM3 cabling
with SC connectors (maximum range of 2000 meters (over 6560ft)).
4. Connect the 5V DC power adapter to the power socket on each unit and
connect the adapter to the mains electricity (not shown in Figure 3).
