About the HFX 100 Tx and HFX 100 Rx

The Extron HFX 100 DVI extender comprises of a transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) pair,

transmitter accepts a single HDMI input and converts it to a proprietary signal that is sent
over the fiber optic cable to the receiver. The receiver converts the signal back to a HDMI
output.
The extender supports DDC and HDCP pass-through.
