The F-HDMI transmitter and receiver pair are used to carry HDMI video signals over longer distances. These units make long distance transportation of HDMI video over fiber easy. An HDMI signal connected to the F-HDMI transmitter is converted to an optical signal for transmission over a fiber optic cable. The F-HDMI receiver then receives the optical signal and converts it back to HDMI video. Fiber optic cables can transport signals to incredible distances, up to 50 miles for single mode fiber. HDMI video cables are expensive and have a very limited range, typically less than 50 ft. Longer runs of HDMI cables also experience significant distortion of the signal. The F-HDMI system allows a user to transport full uncompressed HDMI video at 1080i/1080p with up to 8 incorporated audio signals over a simple and inexpensive fiber optic cable. A simple passive DVI to HDMI adapter can also be used to transport DVI signals over the fiber. For extending set top boxes we also have a IR return path option. This uses an IR receiver at the receiving end to transmit commands from an IR remote over a return optical path. The IR signals are then rebroadcast via an included LED to control equipment on the transmitting end. Contact Thor today for help designing fiber optic distribution systems.
