Transmitter
The FOX3 T 101 transmitter accepts HDMI video, at a resolution of up to 4K
(4096x2160 @ 60 Hz). The video input can also include embedded audio. The transmitter
also loops the HDMI input through for a local monitor.
The transmitter converts the HDMI video into a proprietary data stream and outputs it as
optical signals via fiber optic small form factor pluggable (SFP) modules on an LC connector
to a compatible Extron FOX3 fiber optic receiver. The transmitter has a built-in color bars
test pattern to assist in setting up the display equipment.
Receiver
The FOX3 R 101 receiver accepts an optical signal on one LC connector from a compatible
fiber optic FOX3 transmitter. The receiver is compatible with all Extron FOX3 transmitters.
The receiver outputs HDMI video and digital audio (embedded in the HDMI output). The
video output of the receiver is a lossless HDMI image up to 4K (4096x2160 @ 60 Hz),
including 1080p @ 60 Hz with Deep Color.
Both Units
The transmitter and receiver can be configured and controlled via the front panel USB port
using Simple Instruction Set (SIS) control and Product Configuration Software (PCS). Both
units have video, fiber light status, and lost-light alarm indicators.
System Compatibility
The FOX3 T 101 transmitter and FOX3 R 101 receiver are compatible with all FOX3
endpoints, FOX3 matrix frames, and the PowerCage 411.
NOTE: The FOX3 products are not compatible with legacy FOX, FOXBOX, FOX II,
PowerCage 401 FOX, or PowerCage 1600 FOX products.
Fiber Cable Transmission Modes
The transmitter and receiver are further categorized by the type of fiber optic cable,
multimode or singlemode, which define the effective range of transmission:
Multimode — Long distance, up to 500 m (1640 feet) (depending on the fiber cable)
Singlemode — Very long distance, up to 20 km (12.4 miles)
NOTE: The multimode and singlemode units are physically and functionally identical,
with the exception of the effective range of transmission. In this guide, any reference
applies to either transmission mode unless otherwise specified.
