Description
The VM8584K2 4-Port 10G Optical Output Board is a modular SFP+ output board designed to transmit uncompressed 4K video, control, and audio signals over single-mode fiber for long-distance installations. It fits ATEN VM modular matrix frames and provides four bi-directional SFP+ ports for fiber connectivity. The board supports high-bandwidth HDMI features and is hot-swappable to simplify maintenance and reconfiguration.
Key features include support for up to 4096 x 2160 at 60Hz (4:2:0), a 10.2 Gbps data rate, and compatibility with single-mode duplex LC fiber up to 10 km. The board carries bi-directional RS-232 and IR channels for remote device control and includes FrameSync to prevent image tearing when scaling content. EDID Expert and HDCP 2.2 compatibility help maintain stable, high-quality output across diverse displays.
Performance specifications include a maximum pixel clock of 340 MHz and per-lane data throughput up to 3.4 Gbps. The fiber optics section supports a 10.3 Gbps fiber link data rate and uses a 1310 nm wavelength for the VM8584K2 variant. Power consumption is listed at 22.96 W with dual reporting in BTU/h for rack planning.
Connectivity options include four bi-directional SFP+ LC ports, four captive screw RS-232 connectors, and four mini stereo IR jacks. The board is designed to interoperate with ATEN modular matrix switch chassis such as VM3250, VM3200, and VM1600A and is intended to pair with VE883AR True 4K HDMI Optical Receivers for full feature support. Hot-swappable SFP+ modules and I/O boards make integration and field service straightforward.
Typical use cases include digital signage networks, control room displays, broadcast facilities, and large presentation venues where long-haul, interference-free transmission is required. The optical interface eliminates ground loop and EMI concerns while consolidating HDMI, IR, and RS-232 over a single fiber link. Video wall and scaling features allow installers to map and optimize content for various display setups.
The VM8584K2 is built in a metal housing designed for rack integration and sustained operation in standard AV environments. Operating range is 0 to 40 degrees C and storage range is -20 to 60 degrees C with non-condensing humidity up to 80 percent. Hot-swappable design, industry-standard safety compliance, and firmware features make it appropriate for professional AV deployments that demand long-distance 4K distribution and reliable control integration.
