Opticis Unveils DiVA: the Consummate Digital Video/Audio and Serial I/O Extension System

Opticis Co., Ltd., the leading developer and manufacturer of
optical extension systems, introduces DiVA: a full-feature product
that stretches analog and digital audio, RS-232 serial I/O and DVI HD
digital video up to 2km.

The DiVA M5-2A2-TR, consisting of a Transmitter (Tx) and Receiver
(Rx), provides integration of these protocols using four LC-terminated
glass optical fibers (GOF) up to 200m (656ft) for HDMI and 2km (6,560
ft) for DVI. High definition video signals up to WUXGA (1,920x1,200)
and 1080p, for PC/MAC and HDTV environments are standard, providing
full Display Data Channel (DDC2B) and High Definition Copy Protection
(HDCP) support. One of three Tx audio ports choices - S/PDIF TOSLink
port / jack, and analog R/L jacks, stretches to three Rx selectable
audio port options. The RS-232 offers device-to-device and
device-to-controller connections.

The product multiplexes and de-multiplexes the DVI/HDMI video,
digital/analog audio, DDC2B command interface, HDCP and RS-232 serial
protocol - allowing the use of two duplex-LC connector-terminated
glass optical fiber pairs. GOF´s immediate rewards are data security,
long distance up to 2km without video degradation, easy plug-and-go
installation, no RFI/EMI effects and a green benefit of heavy copper
replacement with light-weight silicon glass. For easier installation
planning, either singlemode or multimode GOF is useable.

For short lengths under 50m, the DiVA M5-2C2-TR model is an
economical alternative. Dual CAT5e cables deliver solid performance
with cost-effective standard cables.

"The DiVA products reaffirm our objective of providing
long-distance, picture-perfect links for a variety of deployable
applications," said Byeong-Ho Park, Opticis VP of Sales & Marketing,
"including Pro A/V multimedia, industrial control, digital signage and
machine automation applications."

Opticis is exhibiting the DiVA products, Jan. 29-31 at ISE 2008,
booth #P22 in Amsterdam, NV. Product ships to Opticis´ OEM Partners
and Distributors in early March.
