New Cable System from Kramer
Oct 11, 2006 4:51 PM
Kramer’s new all-fiber DVI cable system is designed to transmit DVI-D signals across extremely long distances with pristine digital image quality.
A Kramer C-AFDM/AFDM has converters built into DVI-D connectors on both ends of the cable. The transmitter (connected to the source) converts DVI into fiber-optic light pulses that allow it to travel much further than via traditional copper-based systems. The receiver converts back to DVI-D for connection to a display or other receiving device.
The C-AFDM/AFDM transmits both the graphic signal and display information (DDC/HDCP) over optic fiber, thus overcoming the limit of using copper cables for DDC, making it possible to transmit DVI-D signals up to 1,640ft.
The unique Kramer optical all-fiber DVI cable is ideal for:
Integration of digital display systems for medical, military aerospace, factory automation and traffic control platforms
Flatpanel display, plasma display panel, and projector installation in conference rooms, auditoriums, and for kiosk systems
LED signboards for large-scale information display and stadiums
Home theater systems.
In addition, the C-AFDM/AFDM:
Features a bandwidth of 1.65Gbps for each channel
Supports all VESA resolutions up to WUXGA (1,920x1,200), at 60Hz refresh rate with 1 pixel/clock mode
Has eight fiber strands: four for DDC/HDCP interconnection and four for red, green, and blue, and clock transmission
Extends up to 1,640ft.
Does not emit any cable electromagnetic interference or emission, making it suitable for any medical or other EMI-sensitive environment
Can use either DC power from the graphic card or AC/DC power from an external +5V adapter
Requires no software installation.
