610T, 610R - Overview 3
3 Overview
The 610T and 610R are a detachable optical transmitter and receiver for sending
DVI signals with resolutions of up to 1920x1200 at 60Hz over LC optical cable.
The 610T attaches to the transmitter side of a fiber optical cable and the 610R
connects to the receiver end and both are sold as a set.
The 610T and 610R feature:
•A maximum data rate of 1.65Gbps
•Inputs: DVI-D on a DVI-I connector (610T); 4 LC optical connectors for R, G,
B & clock (610R)
•Outputs: 4 LC optical connectors for R, G, B & clock (610T); DVI-D on a DVI-
I connector (610R)
•No EMI/RFI
•HDTV Compatibility
•No HDCP Compliance
•A system range of up to 500m (1640ft)
•EDID capture that copies and stores the EDID from a display device (610T)
•Multi-mode fiber optic cable with 4 simplex or 2 duplex LC fiber connectors
•Compliance with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15
and 2 of FCC and CE
•External power adapter (supplied) or 5V DC from source
•NanoTools size
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.

3.1 Defining EDID
The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is a data-structure provided by a
display, to describe its capabilities to a graphics card (that is connected to the
display’s source). 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 timing data supported by the display, the display size, luminance
data and (for digital displays only) the pixel mapping data.
EDID is defined by a standard published by the Video Electronics Standards
Association (VESA).

This section describes how to:
•Capture the EDID of the display device (see Section 4.1)
•Connect the detachable optical DVI transmitter and receiver (see Section 4.2)
•Troubleshooting the 610T and 610R ((see Section 4.3)
4.1 Capturing the EDID
The 610Tand 610Rare 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.
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 flashes several times while reading the EDID.
4. When the Indication LED stops flashing, disconnect the power.
5. Disconnect the 610T.
The EDID information is now stored and the Indication LED is on.

4.2 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 4.1).
2. Plug the 610T DVI connector directly to the DVI connector of the computer.
Do not use any intermediate cable or adapter between them.
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 to the DVI connector of the display
device.
Do not use any intermediate cable or adapter between them.
5. Connect the duplex LC fiber cables to the 610T and 610R modules, one
cable at a time, as illustrated in Figure 3.
Two duplex LC receptacles connected to two duplex LC patch cord multimode glass of
fibers with a 62.5/125µm or a 50/125µm core.
Figure 3: Connecting the Fiber Optic Cables
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 to the
610T transmitter, and connect the adapter to the mains electricity.

610T, 610R - Using the Detachable Optical DVI System 7
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.
8. Set up the screen resolution as required.

4.3 Avoiding Pitfalls with the 610T and 610R
If any of these problems occur, we recommend the following:
If the display device shows only a black screen:
•Check that all the AC and DC plugs and jacks used by the external power
supplies are firmly connected
•Check 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

8 610T, 610R - Using the Detachable Optical DVI System
•Be sure that the resolution is set for WUXGA (1920 x 1200) 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.
