Overview

3 Overview
The high performance Kramer 610T and 610R have a transmission range of
up to 1640 ft. (500 meters) of single link high-resolution digital graphic data
over four fiber optic cables
1
with LC connectors. The 610T converts electrical
signals to optical signals and the 610R decodes the optical signals back to
electrical signals. The transmitter can read the display device’s EDID
2
, and
once it is connected to the computer, it provides this data
3
.
In particular, the 610T/610R pair:
Is EMI/RFI cable free
Provides a single-link DVI-D connection
4
Supports DVI1.0 and DDC2B, fully implemented by fiber-optic
communication
Supports resolutions exceeding WUXGA at 60Hz or 1.65Gbps bandwidth
per graphic channel
Transmits one red, one green and one blue channel, and one clock with a
1 pixel/clock mode over the fiber optic cables, with 2 duplex LC fiber
connectors
Complies with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15
and 2 of FCC and CE
Does not require any special memory size, CPU speed and chipsets, when
using a computer
1 Multi-mode glass fiber cables with LC connections must be used
2 Extended Display Identification Data
3 See section 5.1
4 With no HDCP support

Overview
3
To achieve the best performance:
Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding interference,
deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise-
levels (often associated with low quality cables)
Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances and position your
Kramer 610R and 610T away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
Caution – No operator-serviceable parts inside unit.
Warning – Use only the Kramer Electronics input power
wall adapter that is provided with this unit
1
.
Warning – Disconnect power and unplug unit from wall
before installing or removing device or servicing unit.
3.1 Powering the 610T and the 610R
The Kramer 610T can be powered either by an external power adapter or
internally by the 5V pin on the DVI card of the computer. The 610T
automatically detects if it is being powered via the external power adapter, and
if so, the internal power supply will be cut off.
The 610R module must always be powered by the power adapter.
Most laptops require that the external power adapter is used for the
transmitter.

5 Using the Detachable Optical DVI System
This section describes how to:
Capture the EDID of the display device
Connect the detachable optical DVI transmitter and receiver
5.1 The Display Device EDID
The 610T and 610R are connected via four channels that transmit R, G, B and
clock signals. The EDID of the display device is captured onto the transmitter
for the computer to read.

5.1.1 Defining EDID
The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID
1
) is a data-structure,
provided by a display, to describe its capabilities to the DVI graphics source
(for example, the graphics card of the computer). The EDID enables the
computer to “know” what kind of monitor is connected to the output. The
EDID includes the manufacturer’s name, the product type, the phosphor or
filter type, the timing data supported by the display, the display size,
luminance data and, for digital displays only, the pixel mapping data.
5.1.2 Capturing the Virtual EDID
You can capture the EDID of the display device on the 610T so that when the
computer connects to the 610T, it will read the virtual EDID information and
identify the display device. This procedure is performed only once for the
connected display device. After storing the EDID, the system can be
connected and disconnected without having to set the EDID again. If the
display device is replaced, the new EDID should be set on the 610T
transmitter.
To capture the EDID of a display device, do the following:
1. Connect the 5V power adapter to the power socket of the 610T, and connect
the adapter to the mains electricity.
The Indication LED lights.
2. Push the Auto EDID button (illustrated in Figure 2), using a thin screwdriver.
3. Connect the 610T unit directly to the display device.
The Indication LED blinks several times while reading the EDID.
4. When the Indication LED stops blinking, disconnect the power.
5. Disconnect the 610T.
The EDID information is now stored and the Indication LED is on.

5.2 Connecting the Detachable Optical DVI Transmitter/Receiver
To connect the 610T Detachable Optical DVI Transmitter with the 610R
Detachable Optical DVI Receiver, as the example in Figure 4 illustrates, do
the following:
1. Set the EDID of the display device (see section 5.1).
2. Plug the 610T DVI connector directly
1
to the DVI connector of the computer.
3. Connect the 610R to the 5V DC power adapter and connect the adapter to the
mains electricity. The Indication LED is on.
4. Connect the 610R DVI connector directly
1
to the DVI connector of the
display device.
5. Connect the duplex LC fiber cables
2
to the 610T and 610R modules, one
cable at a time, as illustrated in Figure 3.

6. Turn ON the Power on the computer and the display device.
7. If the transmitter does not power up, connect the 5V power adapter
3
to the
610T transmitter, and connect the adapter to the mains electricity.
8. Set up the screen resolution as required.
1 Do not use any intermediate cable or adapter between them
2 Two duplex LC receptacles connected to two duplex LC patch cord multimode glass of fibers with a 62.5/125m or a
50/125m core
3 You can use the power supplied through a DVI pin from the graphic cards instead of using the power adapter. After
completing the installation, if the system does not seem to work properly, reconnect the power adapter while the system is
powered

5.3 Avoiding Pitfalls using the 610T and 610R
In the event that any of these problems occur, we recommend the following:
If the display device shows only a black screen:
Make sure that all the AC and DC plugs and jacks used by the external
power supplies are firmly connected
Be sure that the DVI ports are firmly plugged into the computer and the
display device, and be sure that the Transmitter and Receiver modules are
correctly plugged into the computer and display device, respectively
Check if the computer and display are powered ON and properly booted
Reset the system by unplugging and then replugging the Transmitter DVI
port or Receiver DVI port and then reboot the system
If the screen is distorted or displays noise:
Check if the graphics resolution is properly set
Go to the Display Properties of Windows and check the settings
Be sure that the resolution is set for WUXGA (1,920 x 1,200) at 60Hz, or lower
Reset the system
Disconnect and reconnect the optical DVI cables
Be sure that at all times the cables are stored and used away from liquid or dirt
