Making Connections
Connecting HDMI Connectors
Use an Extron LockIt Lacing Bracket to secure an HDMI cable to each device as follows:
Stacked
Figure 4. Installing the LockIt Lacing Bracket to Stacked HDMI Connectors
1. Plug the HDMI cable into the panel connector.
2. Loosen the HDMI connection mounting screw from the panel enough to allow the
LockIt lacing bracket to be placed over it. The screw does not have to be removed.
3. Place the LockIt lacing bracket on the screw and against the HDMI connector, then
tighten the screw to secure the bracket.
ATTENTION: Do not overtighten the HDMI connector mounting screw. The shield
to which it is fastened to is very thin and can easily be stripped.
4. If desired, repeat steps 2 and 3 for the opposite mounting screw and bracket.
5. Loosely place the included tie wrap around the HDMI connector and the LockIt lacing
bracket as shown.
6. While holding the connector securely against the lacing bracket, use pliers or a similar
tool to tighten the tie wrap, then remove any excess length.
Wiring for Fiber Communication
WARNING: Risk of serious physical injury. This device outputs
continuous invisible light, which may be harmful to the eyes; use with
caution.
• Do not look into the rear panel fiber optic cable connectors or into
the fiber optic cables themselves.
• Plug the attached dust caps into the optical transceivers when the
fiber cable is unplugged.
NOTES:
• Ensure the proper fiber optic cable is used for the transmitter and
receiver. Typically, singlemode fiber optic cable has a yellow jacket
and multimode fiber optic cable has an orange or aqua jacket.
• Only one fiber optic cable, transmitter-Tx-to-reciever-Rx, is
required for video, audio, and serial command transmission.
However, for only one fiber optic cable:
• The HDMI signal output by the receiver is not HDCP compliant.
• RS-232 reports from a controlled device are not available.
• To receive responses from the controlled device and for HDCP
compliance, install both fiber optic cables.
