Step 3 — Throughput Connections
NOTE: See the two fiber cable connection drawings below. You can connect the transmitter and one or more receivers in one of two
ways:
• One way (transmitter to receiver) only, perform step a.
• Two way (transmitter to receiver and return), perform steps a and b.
a. Connect the fiber between the Tx port on the transmitter and the Rx port on the receiver.
b. If you want the receiver to return serial data (such as responses from a controlled device) to the transmitter, connect a
cable between the Tx port on the receiver and Rx port on the transmitter.
Operation
After the receiver, the transmitter, and their connected devices are powered up, the system is fully operational. If any
problems are encountered, verify that the cables are routed and connected properly and that all display devices have
identical resolutions and refresh rates. If problems persist, call the Extron S3 Sales & Technical Support Hotline at the
number that is closest to you.
Return Link Mode
The receiver can operate in a Return link mode, in which the receiver outputs data on its Tx connector for return to the
transmitter.
Use SIS commands to toggle between return mode on and off. Connect a PC to the receiver and issue the
following command: 66*0*n# , where n = 0 = disable and 1 = enable return link ( default mode).
NOTE: The disable return link function is primarily used and recommended when the transmitting device is a FOX 500 DA6
and the receiver is connected to any of outputs 2 through 6 on the DA.
Indications
Tx Link and Rx Link LEDs — When lit, the link is active (light is output [Tx] or received [Rx]). OPTICAL
Tx Rx
LINK LINK
NOTE: The Link LEDs indicate transmission of light only, not whether there is data encoded in the optical link.
Power LED — Indicates that power is applied to the unit.
Video Signal LED — Lights on both units when the transmitter detects a signal on its
video input.
HDCP LED — Lights on both units when the input signal is HDCP encrypted.
Audio Input LED — Lights on both units when the transmitter detects a low level audio
signal for a short period of time.
Audio Return Out (transmitter) and In (receiver) LEDs — These LEDs light when the unit detects a low level analog audio signal for a
short period of time.
EDID
SELECT
EDID
EDID Select rotary switch — Set this switch to one of the positions at right to select the source of the DDC or a specific
resolution.
Position 0 — An EDID that has been captured from a connected display.
Position 1 — The EDID is selected via the remote or USB port on the transmitter only, using an SIS command or the Extron Product
Configuration Software.
Position 2 — Use the EDID from the display
connected to the receiver.
Position 3 — Use the EDID from the display
connected to the transmitter loop-through.
Positions 4 through F — Specify a resolution.
The table at right identifies the resolutions
associated with the switch positions. All
resolutions are at 60 Hz.
