Introduction
1.1. Application
Powered by Thinklogical’s®cutting edge, patent-pending MRTS (Multi Rate Transmission
System) Technology, our StudioPRO Extender (SPE) DVI Extension System transports every
frame of a DVI video stream seamlessly with no compression or dropped frames. In addition, all
high speed peripherals function with no latency. Using standard SFP+ transceivers, the system uses
multi-mode or single-mode fiber optic cable to place a digital monitor or projector up to 1000 meters
(3280 feet) away from the controlling computer without loss of resolution. Using single-mode SFP+
modules and fiber optic cable, distances up to 40km are possible. Installation is plug-and-play and
no adjustments are necessary.
Comprised of two compact units, each SPE transmitter connects to the host computer with standard
USB and DVI cables and each receiver provides four USB 2.0 ports for connection of peripheral devices
as well as video connections. External power is required for both the transmitter and receiver units and
two universal AC to 5VDC power supplies are included. In addition, indicator LEDs provide link
performance status at a glance.
The SPE successfully and effectively delivers DVI and USB peripherals when and where you need them.
1.2 Increased Security and Efficiency
The ability to locate the CPU remotely from the monitor and peripherals allows full control of the
computer environment. It is now possible to position the monitor or projector in any setting from office to
lecture hall to boardroom while keeping the computer secure in a controlled location.
1.3 Laser Information
All StudioPRO Extender models are designed and identified as Class 1 LASER products.

2 System Features
2.1 General System Features
The SPE systems are designed for high-resolution video and USB extension applications such as
remote projection centers, theaters and assembly halls, and for secure computer installations. The ability
to remotely locate the CPU away from the monitor and peripherals allows full control of your computer
environment. It is now possible to position your monitor or projector in any setting from office to lecture
hall to boardroom while keeping the computer secure in a remote, controlled location.
