RGBlink MSP 214 TX

The RGBlink MSP 214 TX is a high-bandwidth DVI fiber-optic video transmitter designed for long-distance signal extension up to 10 km. Supporting DVI 1.0 and HDMI 1.3/1.4 (via adapter), it delivers stable, low-loss video transmission over single-mode or multimode optical fiber for professional AV and broadcast applications.

The MSP 214 TX is the transmitting half of the MSP 214 fibre extender: it converts the picture from a DVI source into light and sends it over optical fibre up to 10 km away. At the far end the MSP 214 RX receiver, sold separately, turns it back into DVI.

DVI to fibre transmitter

The DVI-I connector takes a computer, media player or any other DVI source; an HDMI 1.3/1.4 source connects via an adapter. The transmitter carries VESA resolutions up to 2560 × 816 and 1920 × 1200 at 60 Hz, 3840 × 2160 at 30 Hz and SMPTE formats up to 1080p60. An indicator shows the presence of a signal, and power comes from a 12 V adapter.

Fibre up to 10 km

The optical interface is an SFP+ slot with an LC connector for duplex fibre. With a 1310 nm single-mode module it carries the signal at 10 Gb/s up to 10 km, with a 1270 nm multimode module up to 300 m; the modules are hot-pluggable. A UART connector is used for firmware updates, and a ground terminal protects against static.

More information

The RGBlink MSP 214 TX is part of a robust fiber-optic DVI transmission system engineered for extending high-resolution video signals over long distances. Featuring a maximum transmission bandwidth of 10 Gbps, the MSP 214 TX supports a wide range of SMPTE and VESA resolutions, including WUXGA (1920×1200@60), 2048×1152@60, ultra-wide 2560×816@60, and up to 4K 3840×2160@30.

Equipped with DVI-I 25+1 pin connectors and an SFP optical interface, the MSP 214 TX supports both single-mode and multimode twin-core fiber via LC connectors. Single-mode fiber enables transmission distances up to 10 km, while multimode fiber supports distances up to 300 m. HDMI 1.3/1.4 signals are supported through an external adapter, making the unit flexible for various source devices.

Designed for professional AV installations, broadcast environments, control rooms, digital signage, and large venues, the MSP 214 TX offers hot-pluggable SFP modules, compact form factor, and reliable optical performance. Its low-loss, high-bandwidth fiber transmission makes it ideal where copper cabling is impractical or unreliable.
