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 611T, 611R 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.

4 611T, 611R - Overview
3 Overview
The 611T and 611R are a high-performance fiber optic transmitter and receiver for
composite video signals. The 611T transmitter converts a composite video signal
into a fiber optic signal and the 611R receiver converts the fiber optic signal back
into a composite video signal.
More specifically, the 611T, 611R feature:
•55MHz (-3dB) bandwidth
•Level (gain) and EQ (peaking) controls
•A range of 5km (3.1mi) using multi-mode fiber optic cable

4 Connecting the 611T, 611R
Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to your
611T, 611R. After connecting your 611T, 611R, connect its power and
then switch on the power to each device.
To connect the 611T, 611R as illustrated in the example in Figure 3:
1. On the 611T, connect a composite video source (for example, a video
player) to the INPUT BNC connector.
2. On the 611R, connect the OUTPUT BNC connector to a composite video
acceptor (for example, a video recorder).
3. Connect a fiber optic cable from the TO FIBER connector on the 611T to the
FROM FIBER connector on the 611R.
4. Connect a 12V DC power supply to each of the units (not shown in the
illustration).
5. As needed, adjust the HF and GAIN trimmers on each unit with a small
screwdriver.
The units come pre-adjusted from the factory for optimum performance and transparent
operation. Adjustment is not normally required if all cables and connectors are working
properly.
