Standalone Application Diagram

Supports 4K Resolutions

Transmitting Dual-Link video signals up to 4096x2400

resolution, including all standard HDTV resolutions.

Unencrypted signals up to 330 MHz pixel clock

frequency (up to 165 MHz TMDS clock frequency).

Single-Link Operation Mode with One Fiber

When Single-Link DVI signal is transmitted, all of the

high-speed TMDS data lanes are transmitted using

only one multimode 50/125 fiber optical cable.

Neutrik OpticalCON Fiber Connector

Neutrik NO2-4FDW type LC-Duplex connector,

eliminates its inherent weakness, guaranteeing a safe,

dust protected, and durable connection.

Zero Frame Delay

DVIDL-OPT-TX200 add no frame noticeable delay to the

switched signal. There is no frame or line period delays

to the signals when passing a Lightware router.

Advanced EDID Management

The user can emulate any EDID on the inputs

independently, read out and store any attached

monitor's EDID in 100 internal memory locations.

Galvanic Isolation between Source and Display

Lightware fiber optical extenders are isolated between

transmitter and receiver to eliminate ground loop noise

or HUM effects.

LED1
LED2
LED3

Front Panel LEDs

Source-, signal-, monitor- and laser detection, to get

immediate feedback about the status of connected

devices.

USB Control

Input/output status, EDID Management, and hardware

information can be accessed with Lightware Device

Controller software via USB connection. Firmware

upgrade can also be performed over this interface.

Locking DC Connector

Special locking plug of wall adaptor ensures safe power

supply. This type of connector prevents accidental

disconnections.

4 5 6 7

Front Panel Control (Transmitter)

EDID address selection with two decimal rotary

switches and LEARN button are available for Advanced

EDID Management.

Local Monitor Output (Transmitter)

The user can attach a local monitor to observe the

video signal sent through the fiber optical cable. The

resolution and clock frequency are the same on DVI

and fiber optical connectors.

TMDS Reclocking (Receiver)

Removes jitter caused by long cables; the output has

a clean, jitter free signal, eliminating signal instability

and distortion caused by long cables or connector

reflections.
