Introduction

This guide describes the function, installation and operation of the HFX 100 Tx transmitter and HFX 100 Rx receiver. Unless otherwise stated, the terms "HFX 100," "HDMI extender," and "extender" refer to both units. The term "transmitter" refers to the HFX 100 Tx and the term "receiver" refers to the HFX 100 Rx.

This Introduction provides the following information:

About the HFX 100 Tx and HFX 100 Rx

The Extron HFX 100 DVI extender comprises of a transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) pair, which use one multimode fiber optic cable to transmit a signal up to 984 feet (300 m). The transmitter accepts a single HDMI input and converts it to a proprietary signal that is sent over the fiber optic cable to the receiver. The receiver converts the signal back to a HDMI output.

The extender supports DDC and HDCP pass-through.

Features

DVI Signal Extender — converts the HDMI signal to a proprietary format that can be carried up to 984 feet (300 m) without loss of signal integrity.

Power Supply — Both the transmitter and receiver are powered by a 12 VDC power supply (provided).

Compatible with other Extron fiber optic products — The HFX 100 is compatible with Extron fiber DMS I/O boards.

Display Data Channel (DDC) pass-through — ensures that the resolution and refresh rate of the video input signal matches the capabilities of the display device.

High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) pass-through — ensures that HDCP-compliant outputs are able to display HDCP-encrypted content.

Panels and Cables

This section discusses the features and cabling of:

• Front Panel
  • HFX 100 Tx Rear Panel
  • HFX 100 Rx Rear Panel

Front Panel

Both the Transmitter and Receiver have identical front panels:

① Extron

Figure 2. HFX 100 Tx and HFX 100 Rx Front Panel

① Front Panel LED — lights amber if the unit (transmitter or receiver) is receiving power from the 12 VDC power supply. The Transmitter LED lights green if the unit is receiving a TMDS clock signal. The Receiver LED lights green if the unit is receiving an optical signal.

NOTE: During initialization, the LED may need a few seconds to stabilize to the correct state.

Figure 4. 12 VDC Power Connection to HFX 100

ATTENTION:

• Always use a power supply provided by or specified by Extron. Use of an unauthorized power supply voids all regulatory compliance certification and may cause damage to the supply and the end product.
• Unless otherwise stated, the AC/DC adapters are not suitable for use in air handling spaces or in wall cavities. The power supply is to be located within the same vicinity as the Extron AV processing equipment in an ordinary location, Pollution Degree 2, secured to the equipment rack within the dedicated closet, podium, or desk.
• The installation must always be in accordance with the applicable provisions of National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, article 75 and the Canadian Electrical Code part 1, section 16. The power supply shall not be permanently fixed to building structure or similar structure.

NOTES:

• The length of the exposed wires in the stripping process is critical. The ideal length is 3/16 inch (5 mm). If it is any longer, the exposed wires may touch, causing a short circuit between them. If it is any shorter, the wires can be easily pulled out even if tightly fastened by the captive screws.
• Do not tin the wires. Tinned wire does not hold its shape and can become loose over time.

② HDMI input connector — Connect a HDMI input to this male connector.

NOTE: With appropriate DVI-D to HDMI cables or adapters, the unit will accept DVI-D input.

When the transmitter is receiving HDMI input signal, the front panel LED lights green.

③ Optical output connector — Connect one end of one multimode fiber optic cable (not provided) into this LC connector. The other end connects into the LC input connector on the HFX 100 Rx. The cable can be up to 984 feet (300 m) in length.

CAUTION:

• Possible Damage to Eyesight. The HFX 100 Tx outputs continuous laser (Class 1 rated), which may be harmful and dangerous to the eyes; use with caution. Do not look into the rear panel fiber optic cable connector or into the fiber optic cable itself. Plug the attached dust cap into the optical transceiver when the fiber optic cable is unplugged.
• Possible radiation exposure. Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

See Figure 4, the attention points, and the notes on page 4 before connecting the power supply.

② HDMI output connector — Connect a HDMI display device to this male connector.

NOTE: With appropriate HDMI to DVI-D cables or adapters, the unit will output an HDMI signal.

③ Optical input connector — Connect one end of the multimode fiber optic cable (not provided) into this LC connector. The other end connects into the LC output connector on the HFX 100 Tx.

CAUTION:

• Possible Damage to Eyesight. The HFX 100 Tx outputs continuous laser (Class 1 rated), which may be harmful and dangerous to the eyes; use with caution. Do not look into the rear panel fiber optic cable connector or into the fiber optic cable itself. Plug the attached dust cap into the optical transceiver when the fiber optic cable is unplugged.
• Possible radiation exposure. Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

When the HFX 100 Rx is receiving optical input, the front panel LED lights green.

Rack Mounting

UL Guidelines for Rack Mounting

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines are relevant to the safe installation of these products in a rack:

Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the units are installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, install the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma: +122 °F, +50 °C) specified by Extron.

Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in the rack so that the equipment gets adequate air flow for safe operation.

Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so that uneven mechanical loading does not create a hazardous condition.

Circuit overloading — Connect the equipment to the supply circuit and consider the effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Consider the equipment nameplate ratings when addressing this concern.

Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (such as the use of power strips).

Rack Mounting Procedure

To mount the unit on a rack shelf, follow the instructions provided with the shelf accessories.
