Extender audio/video HDMI ATEN + IR + RS232 tramite una fibra ottica (600 m)

The ATEN VE882 is an AV transmitter and receiver that extends HDMI signals over long distances using a single optical fiber link. It accepts an HDMI audio-video stream from a local source, serializes the data, and transmits it over a 3.125 Gbps optical connection to deliver high-definition video and audio up to 1080p@60Hz with 24-bit color. The unit also supports bidirectional IR remote control extension and RS-232 communication for connected serial devices.

Advantages

The VE882 removes the distance limitations of standard HDMI cables by using optical fiber, enabling signal transmission up to 600 meters while maintaining 1080p image quality. It consolidates video, audio, IR, and RS-232 control over a single optical link, reduces signal loss and electromagnetic interference typical of copper cabling, and operates from a 5.3 V supply in a compact housing (103 x 141.7 x 31.2 mm) weighing 420 g.

Suitable for

• Digital signage and video walls in retail or public spaces
• Conference rooms, lecture halls and corporate AV installations
• Remote monitoring and control where RS-232 or IR pass-through is required
• Long-distance HDMI extension between equipment racks and display endpoints

How to use

Connect the VE882 transmitter to the HDMI source and the receiver to the display. Link the transmitter and receiver with a compatible single-mode or multimode optical fiber cable according to site requirements, ensuring the fiber supports the specified 3.125 Gbps data rate and maximum distance. Connect optional RS-232 devices or IR emitters/receivers at each end if remote control or serial communication is needed. Power both units from the specified 5.3 V supply and verify signal integrity and display resolution on the endpoint.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use optical fiber and connectors rated for the required distance and bandwidth, keep fiber runs free from sharp bends and mechanical stress, and verify RS-232 wiring and IR placement during installation. Test the setup at full resolution (1080p@60Hz) to confirm cable length and connector quality meet expectations.
