Frequently Asked Questions - AC1070A Black Box

How do I install the 3-Channel DVI Extender?

First, ensure all power is off. Connect the transmitter (TX) to video sources via DVI IN using included cables. Connect the receiver (RX) to output devices via DVI OUT. Link TX and RX using an MTP®/MPO 12-fiber multimode fiberoptic cable. Secure connectors until they lock. Finally, connect power and switch on both units. Power up sources and configure using the CONFDEV software.

What is the maximum transmission distance?

The maximum distance depends on the fiber type: up to 400 meters with 50 μm fiber, and up to 300 meters with 62.5 μm fiber.

What video resolutions are supported?

For digital input, resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz (WUXGA). For analog input, resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 @ 60 Hz (UXGA). All standard VESA modes are supported.

How do I configure the device?

Connect the TX unit to a Windows PC via the included serial RJ45/RS232 cable. Install the CONFDEV software from the provided CD. Start the program, select the correct COM port, and click the green arrow to access the configuration menu. Adjust settings for video input, brightness, contrast, and EDID.

What is EDID and how do I import it?

EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) contains monitor capabilities. Since the fiberoptic cable uses all fibers for video, EDID cannot be transmitted back. To import, temporarily connect the TX unit to each output device via DVI. Power on, and the device automatically reads and stores the EDID. Alternatively, use the EXTERNAL menu in the configuration software.

Can I update the firmware?

Yes. Connect the TX unit to a PC via the RS232 cable. Insert the update CD and run updateEn.exe. Select the COM port and the firmware file, then click 'Update'. LEDs will flash during the process and remain steady when complete. Perform a power reset after updating.

Is the video transmission lossless?

Yes. The device transmits video signals without any compression, ensuring completely loss-free data transmission with full refresh rates and excellent image quality, even at high resolutions.

What type of fiberoptic cable is required?

An MTP®/MPO 12-fiber multimode fiberoptic cable with female/female connectors is required. Black Box offers custom-length prefabricated cables up to 400 meters. Do not use single-mode or other cable types.

What safety precautions should I take?

The device is a Class 1 laser product. Always cap fiberoptic connections when not in use. Turn off power before connecting or disconnecting fiber cables. Ensure ventilation openings are not blocked. Do not open the device casing; there are no user-serviceable parts inside.

How do I troubleshoot if there is no video signal?

Check that all cables are securely connected and locked. Verify that both TX and RX units are powered on (LEDs should be lit). Ensure the video source is outputting a supported resolution. If using analog signals, adjust Brightness and Contrast in the configuration software. For remote issues, try connecting a monitor directly to the TX's local DVI OUT to isolate the problem.

The factory default value is 58.2%.

CONTRAST

For analog signal input, you can adjust the contrast within a range 0 to 100% in this section.

The factory default value is 63.5%.

CONFIGURATION

HORIZONTAL POSITION

If the image position of the analog signal is not correct, use the cursors to switch from “auto” to “man” (manual) and adjust the horizontal position within a range from -40 to +40. If your output device responds very slowly to the changes, select “Force monitor adjust” to ensure that any change to the image position briefly interrupts the video signal.

VERTICAL POSITION

Use the cursors to switch from “auto” to “man” (manual) and adjust the vertical position within a range from -20 to +20. If your output device responds very slowly to the changes, select “Force monitor adjust” to ensure that any change to the image position briefly interrupts the video signal.

SCREEN WIDTH

The image width (number of horizontal pixels) is usually determined by the VESA standard.

If your image appears blurred, you can improve image quality by adjusting it within a range of -16 to +16.

PHASE

Unfavorable analog phasing (pixel scanning time) may lead to degradation of image quality in the form of blurring, poor contrast or faded writing.

Try to optimize your image within a range from -16 to +15.

CONFIGURATION

CONTRAST = 63.5% (all channels)
HORIZ POSITION = auto (all channels)
VERT POSITION = auto (all channels)
SCREEN WIDTH = +0 (all channels)
PHASE = -16 (all channels) 

CONFIGURATION

EDID

(extended display identifi cation data)

Video output devices transmit their EDID to the connected graphics card via the Display Data Channel (DDC).

Your 3-Channel DVI Extender TX uses all twelve optical fibers in your fiberoptic cable exclusively for signal transmission. Therefore it is not possible to transmit the EDID of the monitor from the 3-Channel DVI Extender RX back to the computer, connected to the 3-Channel DVI Extender TX.

The graphics cards receive the required EDID parameters from an EEPROM containing the default settings for each DVI-IN input on your 3-Channel DVI Extender TX.

BLACK BOX recommends working with the actual EDID of your video output devices.

EDID INTERNAL and DEFAULT

In the factory default settings, the default BLACK BOX EDID is preset on all three DVI IN input ports under INTERNAL:

The default settings shown here should be overwritten with the actual EDIDs from the video output devices via EXTERNAL (page 25).

NOTE:

You can reset the default EDID via DEFAULT. Use the STORE command to save the default settings in INTERNAL.

The DETAILS sub-menu is used by BLACK BOX for error diagnosis.

EDID EXTERNAL IMPORTANT!

Move your 3-Channel DVI Extender transmitter unit to the video output devices and connect the respective lower DVI IN port to the DVI cable on the output device.

When you switch on your 3-Channel DVI Extender (after connecting the power supply cable), the EDID of the connected video output device is automatically read by the 3-Channel DVI Extender and saved in an EEPROM for each DVI IN port. The respective LED will flash four times during the scanning process. You can then switch off your 3-Channel DVI Extender.

Once you have repeated this procedure individually or simultaneously for all three channels, the original EDID of the output device will be available at each channel. The EXTERNAL function described below has thus been automated. However, menu-based import of the individual values is also possible via EXTERNAL 1 - 3:

Once the data has been read out successfully, you can reconnect your 3-Channel DVI Extender TX to the video signal sources (see page 10).

As described on page 24, you will now find the original EDID of your video output device 1 under EDID / CHANNEL 1 / INTERNAL 1:

An NEC MultiSync LCD 2080UX+ was recognized in the example shown here.

If you exchange your video output devices, please remember to import the EDID of the newly connected devices in the manner described above.
