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 www.kramerav.com/downloads/691 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 691 HDBT 2.0 Optical Transmitter 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.
2.2 Safety Instructions
Caution:
There are no operator serviceable parts inside the unit.
Warning:
Use only the power cord that is supplied with the unit.
Warning:
Disconnect the power and unplug the unit from the wall
before installing.

691 - Overview
3 Overview
691 is a high-performance HDBaseT 2.0 fiber transmitter for ultra-reach extension
of 4K60Hz (4:2:0) HDMI, USB 2.0, Ethernet, RS-232, IR and stereo audio signals
over either multi-mode or single-mode fiber optic. 691 converts all the input
signals into the transmitted HDBaseT 2.0 signal over fiber optic cable. The
extended line receiver, such as Kramer 692, converts the HDBaseT 2.0 signal
back to 4K60Hz (4:2:0) HDMI, USB 2.0, Ethernet, RS-232, IR and stereo audio
output signals.
691 extends video signals to up to 33km (20.5 miles) over single-mode fiber at up
to 4K@60Hz (4:2:0) resolution.
The 691 transmitter features:
High performance standard fiber extender –HDBaseT 2.0 fiber transmitter for
providing ultra-reach signals over either multi-mode or single-mode optical
fiber infrastructures, using Kramer pluggable OSP SFP+ units. 691 is a
standard fiber extender that can be connected to any market-available
HDBaseT-compliant extension product.
To ensure Kramer support and warranty of the 691 product, use only
Kramer's certified high-performance OSP SFP+ pluggable optical
modules:
OSP-MM1: Optical MM 850nm 10G SFP+ Transceiver
OSP-SM10: Optical SM 1310nm 10G SFP+ Transceiver
For optimum extension reach and performance, use Kramer's OSP SFP+
units and recommended Kramer cables. Non-Kramer cables may not
reach these ranges.
Note that the maximum transmission reach is typical and may vary
depending on fiber cables performance, signal resolution, connectors and
splicing optical losses, modal or chromatic dispersion, and similar optical-
related factors.
HDMI signal extension –HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 1.4 compliant. Supports deep
color, x.v.Color™, lip sync, HDMI uncompressed audio channels, Dolby
TrueHD, DTS-HD, 2K, 4K, and 3D. EDID and CEC signals are passed
through from the source to the display.
