The Black Box AC1037A-MM DVI and Stereo Audio Fiber Extender Kit for Multimode Fiber makes it easy to extend HD-quality video and stereo audio for crystal-clear DVI video and sound at a remote location. Advanced circuitry equalizes and re-clocks noisy and distorted DVI input signals before transmitting over fiber, ensuring pristine digital video output from an array of DVI sources. Audio input and output are through stereo jacks on both transmitter and receiver boxes. To monitor video on the local side, simply plug in a DVI-compatible screen via the loop-through input on the transmitter unit. This output display, as well as those linked remotely, can be up to 16 feet (4.8 m) from the extender system.
The AC1037A-MM brings a higher level of security to your application, too. Simply lock the PC-based video source in a control room as far as 45 feet (13.7 m) from the transmitter and set up the loop-through monitor in an area easily viewable by others. There's no PC or other video source at the remote end to be tampered with, and fiber optic cable is extremely difficult to tap. Plus, with fiber, you get interference-free communications even in electronically noisy areas and more consistent performance than competing high-performance CATx technologies. It's completely immune to many environmental factors that affect copper cables, such as electromagnetic interference and radio-frequency interference (EMI/RFI). For this reason, this system can be used in areas with a lot of interference-emitting equipment. It also benefits broadcast applications where you want to keep a noisy PC away from the audio pickups in the studio, as well as any area where there simply isn't room for both a PC and a display.
