Features
Overview: The OWLink FO2800 Digital Light Link is
an innovative connectivity system that is capable of transmitting high
definition video, audio, and control signals simultaneously down one thin,
transparent, fiber optic cable at distances up to 300M. This system uses no
compression, and supports Hollywood approved content protection, HDCP. Focused
on improving the digital home, FO2800 Digital Light Link allows you to place
your home electronics in the most convenient places in your home without running
cable through your walls. The FO2800 system supports 480p, 720p, 1080i, and
1080P (24/30fps). The OWLink F02800 Digital Light Link system consists of an AC
powered Receiver and Transmitter, 98' Fiber optic cable with proprietary DLI
connectors, two HDMI cables (20" and 40"), and an IR emitter as well as IR sensor.
Receiver and Transmitter: The F02800 consists of a Receiver module
and Transmitter module which are both powered by AC current using the supplied
AC power adaptors. Each unit features an 3.5mm IR connection, a proprietary DLI
port, and HDMI port. The HDMI cable from your audio/video component such as a
DVD player is plugged into the Transmitter, the supplied 300' fiber optic cable
is then run from the Transmitter to the Receiver in another location of the room
or your home. An HDMI cable is then run from the F02800's Receiver to your A/V
receiver or television.
Transparent Fiber Optic Cable: The F02800 comes supplied with a
98'
transparent fiber optic cable with proprietary DLI connectors on each end that
runs from the system's Transmitter to the system's Receiver in another location
of the room or your home. The fiber optical cable features a transparent PVC
jacket which is only 0.9mm in diameter making it almost invisible. The
transparent thin cable is similar to fishing line with respect to size and
weight. Plan to secure the fiber optic cable to the wall using invisible tape,
clear silicon, or another form of adhesive.
HDMI Cables: The OWLink FO2800 system comes supplied with two HDMI
cables (20" and 40") with male HDMI connectors on each end to plug from your DVD player or
Satellite Tuner to the system's Transmitter and from the system's Receiver to
your A/V receiver or television.
IR Emitter and Sensor: The FO2800 Digital Light Link system comes
supplied with an IR emitter and Sensor so you can still control your DVD player
or Satellite tuner which is in a different location than your television and/or
AV receiver. The IR sensor plugs into the back of the Transmitter while the IR
emitter plugs into the rear of the Receiver. By pointing your audio/video
component's remote at the IR emitter, it then transfers that control signal to
the IR sensor plugged into the Transmitter.
Multi-Room Audio/Video: The OWLink F02800 can be used in a multi-room audio/video application. A multi-room configuration requires an A/V switch and
on FO2800 system per display.
