1. Introduction

1.1. Introduction to FODV301

FODV301 is a kind of DVI fiber extender, with transmitter (FODV301T) and receiver

(FODV301R) working over a single fiber optical. It supports single mode and multimode

fiber to transmit high resolution signal.

It has a good application in long-distance transmission occasions, including multi-media

conference hall, television teaching, security monitoring center, command and control

center, and multi-media classroom etc.

1.2. Package Contents

4. Interfaces Introduction

The interfaces of FODV301 are showed in the following picture.

1) LED indicator: it shows three kinds of connection status as below:

 Blinks slowly and regularly: The system could not start up normally, please cut

off the power and then plug into the power to see if it works.

 Blinks quickly: The system is starting up normally.

 Keeps lighting: The transmitting terminal and the receiving terminal are

connected well and it’s ready to work.

2) Power interface: Micro-USB connector, which connects with a DC5V, 500mA

power supply.

3) Transmitting or receiving terminal: LC fiber connector, which connects with a

single fiber optical, supports single mode and multimode.

5. System Connection

Please connect reference to the following steps:

1) Connect FODV301T to the video source device by using a DVI cable to connect the

DVI port of each device.

2) If the DVI video signal source device can provide with DC 5V power (500mA), there

is no need to provide an external DC 5V power to the transmitter. If not, please

connect the power adapter (DC 5V) to FODV301T by using an USB power cord.

3) Connect FODV301R to an HD displayer by using a DVI cable to connect the DVI

port of each device.

4) Connect the power adapter (DC 5V) to FODV301R by using an USB power cord.

5) Use a LC multimode or single mode fiber to connect FODV301T to FODV301R.

6) When all connections are done, it is ready to work.

7. Operations of Manually EDID Management

FODV301T provides with manually EDID management, the following content shows

how to do EDID management manually.

1) Plug into a power to FODV301T till the LED indicator lights up.

2) Press and hold on the EDID button no more than 9 seconds, until the LED indicator

starts blink.

Notice: If keep pushing the button for more than 9 seconds, the EDID data will be

reset to the factory default and the LED indicator keeps lighting.

3) Connect the DVI port of FODV301T to the displayer when the LED indicator blinks.

4) Then the EDID learning process is completed when the LED indicator keeps lighting.

5) After the LED indicator keeps lighting for more than 10 seconds, please cut off the

power of FODV301T and disconnect from the displayer.

8. Troubleshooting & Maintenance

1) Question: How to distinguish between the transmitting terminal of FODV301 and

the receiving terminal of FODV301, and what kind of device can be

connected to each terminal?

Answer: FODV301T is the transmitter, which can be connected to a video

source device (such as a PC, a DVD player etc.). And FODV301R is the

receiver, which can be connected to an HD displaying device (such as a

TV, a displayer, a projector etc.)

2) Question: What the maximum transmission distance in theory that FODV301

supports should be?

Answer: Transmitted by a single core fiber, the distance can be 10km via a

single mode fiber, and 300m via a multimode fiber.

3) Question: Can we use an USB power of the HD displayer to provide power supply

to FODV301R?

Answer: Yes, if the display provides with an enough power supply (DC 5V,

500mA).

Notice: When the displayer is in power saving mode, FODV301R may not work.

4) Question: Why there is no output image when the LED indicator keeps lighting?

Answer: a). Check if the DVI interfaces are connected well at the input end and

the output end.

b). HDCP is not supported in FODV301, if it is included in the source

device, there will be no output image.

9. Safety Operation Guide

In order to guarantee the reliable operation of the equipments and safety of the staff,

please abide by the following proceeding in installation, using and maintenance:

1) The system must be earthed properly. Please do not use two blades plugs and

ensure the alternating power supply ranged from 100v to 240v and from 50Hz to

60Hz.

2) Do not put the switcher in a place of too hot or too cold.

3) As the power generating heat when running, the working environment should be

maintained fine ventilation, in case of damage caused by overheat.

4) Please cut off the general power switch in humid weather or left unused for long

time.

5) Before following operation, ensure that the alternating current wire is pull out of the

power supply:

 Take off or reship any components of the equipment.

 Take off or rejoin any pin or other link of the equipment.

6) As to non-professional or without permission, please DO NOT try to open the

casing of the equipment, DO NOT repair it on your own, in case of accident or
