Welcome!

Congratulations on your purchase of the Stretch DVITM DDFX-100-TR Optical Dual Link DVI (Digital Visual Interface) Extension Module. This manual contains information that will assist you in installing and operating the product.

Product Description

The DDFX-100-TR optical DVI module transmits uncompressed WQXGA (2560×1600), 60Hz or WQUXGA (3840×2400), 33Hz vertical refresh rate of Dual-link DVI up to 500 meters (1,640feet) over two (2) LC multi-mode fibers OM2 or OM3, and 300 meters (984 feet) with OM1 fiber. The EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) in a display can be read and restored by just plugging once transmitter to the display. This Self-EDID programming feature makes the installation of DDFX-100-TR more easy and flexile at any variable resolution display systems. For your convenience, WQXGA EDID had been stored before shipment as a default.

System Requirements for Setup

  • Hardware requirements
    • You must have a DVI graphic controller or card having a DVI port in your PC, SUN or Mac systems. It should support the maximum graphic resolution feature of displays to be connected.
    • No special requirements for memory size, CPU speed and chipsets, if you’ve already properly installed your DVI graphic controllers or cards.
  • Software requirements
    • No special restrictions, if you’ve already properly installed your DVI graphic controller in your OS.
      AC/DC Power Adapter Technical Advisory

The transmitter (Tx) module of DDFX-100-TR is designed for power protection circuit from conflict of power supply between the external AC/DC power adapter and your DVI source by #14 pin. We strongly recommend to use external AC/DC adapter for Transmitter (TX) for stable power supplying. In case of Receiver (RX), power should be supplied by AC/DC adapter due to no internal power supplying from the displays.

Installation

Important: Please keep the installation procedure below. Improper or no operation may result if the start-up sequence is not correctly followed.

Step 1
 Carefully unpack the contents of the shipping group.

Step 2
Plug the 5V power adapters to the power jack of the transmitter and receiver. Ensure the Power LED is ON (Blue) and Status LED is blinking slowly (Blue).

Step 3
Please, check if the maximum resolution of the display is WQXGA (2560×1200). If not, follow the instructions for Self-EDID Programming Procedure on page 1-5.

Step 4
Connect two (2) LC optical fibbers between the transmitter and the receiver and each fiber channel shall be connected as 1 to 1 and 2 to 2 carefully and ensure the duplex connectors are fully engaged.

Step 5
Plug the transmitter to the DVI receptacle of the DVI source such as PC and the receiver to the DVI receptacle of the display as shown in figure 3.

Opticis DDFX-100 2-Fiber Detachable Dual Link DVI module User Manual - Figure 3

Note1: The maximum extension length by multi-mode fiber is 500 meters with OM2 or OM3 fiber and 300 meters (984 feet) with OM1 fiber.
Note2: It is recommended NOT to use any intermediate cable or adapter between them to avoid undesirable performance degradation.

Step 6
Turn the PC and the display power ON. And ensure that the Status LED in transmitter and receiver are on.

Self-EDID Programming Procedure

The graphic source equipment generally requires display information (EDID). It contains resolution and timing information of the display.
DDFX-100-TR supports Self-EDID programming. It is the procedure that reads the EDID from the display and stores it in the EEPROM of the transmitter. You have to do Self-EDID programming if the maximum resolution of the user’s display is not WQXGA (2560×1600). Follow the steps below to do it correctly.

Note1: If you know that EDID is not required by the user’s DVI source, Self-EDID programming is not necessary.
Note2: The default EDID in factory ship-out is programmed in the VESA standard of WQXGA (2560×1600), 60Hz.

Step 1
Power on the display.

Step 2
Plug the 5V power adapter to the power jack of the transmitter of DDFX-100. Ensure the Power LED is ON.

Step 3
Push the EDID PRGM. button of the transmitter with a narrow pin. Then, status LED will be turned ON.

Step 4
Connect the transmitter to the display not to the PC. Then the status LED will begin to blink rapidly. It indicates that the module is reading the EDID from the display and storing it in the EEPROM. After 7~8 sec, the status LED will be turned ON and it indicates that all the procedure is finished.

Step 5
Disconnect the transmitter from the display.
1-5 Self-EDID Programming Procedure

Troubleshooting

The display shows black screen.
– Ensure that all plugs and jacks used by external power supplies (both Optics and others) are firmly connected. Ensure that the Power and status LED is ON.
– Ensure that the DVI ports are firmly plugged into the PC and display.
– Ensure that the transmitter and receiver modules are plugged correctly to the PC and display, respectively.
– Check if the PC and display are powered on and properly booted.
– Reset the system by de-plugging and re-plugging the transmitter DVI port or receiver DVI port, or by de-plugging and re-plugging the power plugs of transmitter and receiver modules.
– Re-boot up the system while connecting the optical DVI extension module. Screen is distorted or displays noises.
– Check if the graphic resolution is properly set. Go to the display properties of Windows and tap the settings.
– Ensure that the resolution sets less than WQUXGA (3840×2400) at 33Hz refresh ratio.
– Reset the system. Disconnect and reconnect the optical DVI cables or 5V power adapters.

Maintenance

No special maintenance is required for the optical DVI module and power adapters. Ensure that the DVI modules and power adapters are stored or used in a benign environment free from liquid or dirt contamination. There are no user serviceable parts. Refer all service and repair issues to Optics.
