to operate the switcher
•
Replace the I/O boards and power supplies.
About the Fiber Matrix 6400 Switchers
The Fiber Matrix 6400 (figure 1-1) is a configurable matrix
switcher that distributes optical and electrical signals. Fiber
optic I/O boards route signals that are compatible with all
Extron FOX 500 fiber optic product lines. SDI/HD-SDI I/O
boards route serial digital interface (SDI) and high definition
serial digital interface (HD-SDI) signals. The matrix switcher
routes any input signal to any combination of outputs. An
optical input can be tied to optical and/or SDI/HD-SDI outputs
and an SDI/HD-SDI input can be tied to SDI/HD-SDI and/or
optical outputs. The matrix switcher can route multiple input/
output configurations simultaneously.

Figure 1-1 — Typical Fiber Matrix 6400 application
The Extron proprietary fiber optic signal, generated by FOX 500
transmitters, can include video, stereo audio, and transmitter-to-
receiver RS-232 serial communications. The video component
of the signal can be RGB video, Digital Visual Interface (DVI)
video, SDI/HD-SDI video, or low resolution video, depending
on the transmitter and receiver.
The matrix switcher can be remotely controlled via its Ethernet
LAN port or either of two serial ports using either Extron's
Windows
®
-based Matrix Switchers Control Program or the
Simple Instruction Set (SIS
The switcher has two internal, hot-swappable 100 VAC to
240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 180-watt power supplies that provide
worldwide power compatibility and reliability.
N
Compatible optical signals are digital signals from
270 Mbs through 4.25 Gbps that are sent and received via
fiber optic small form factor pluggable (SFP) modules. The
Fiber Matrix 6400 supports all compatible optical signals,
whether transmitted or received by an Extron FOX system
component or not.
