Pixel Accurate Reclocking, HDCP compliance and HDMI to DVI conversion are all incorporated. Resolutions up to 4K and 36-bit color depth are handled with all standard audio formats as well as 120Hz 3D signals.

Along the video and audio extension the unit provides a bi-directional RS-232 option for remote controlling external devices like projectors or professional media players.

The video signals with the HDCP, EDID handshaking data and the RS-232 channel traffic are performed over one Multimode fiber, utilizing our Single Fiber Technology. The board is compatible with Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD audio while the proprietary Pixel Accurate Reclocking, Advanced EDID Management, Frame detector and built-in test pattern generator are integrated. The board is available with Neutrik OpticalCON, -LC or -SC connectors.
