NOTE:
Compatible optical signals are digital signals from 2.0 Mbps through 4.25 Gbps
that are sent and received via fiber optic SFP modules. The switcher supports all
compatible optical signals, whether transmitted or received by an Extron fiber
optic system component or not.

Typical FOX SW8 Application
NOTES:
The video component of the signal from an Extron Tx can be either
•
VGA - UXGA RGB video, digital visual interface (DVI) video, or SDI/HD-SDI
video.
The serial component of the signal is for applications such as projector control
•
and transmitter control of the receiver.
The switcher selects among the proprietary signal inputs and outputs the selected signal on
a fiber optic cable to a compatible receiver.
NOTES:
The FOX SW8 does not support transmission of a return (Rx-to-Tx) serial data
•
stream.
The switcher can receive and send the proprietary signal from and to
•
any compatible Extron fiber optic transmitter, receiver, or switcher (see
Compatible
Equipment).
The connected receiver converts the proprietary signals back to video (RGB, DVI, or
SDI/HD-SDI, depending on the source transmitter and the receiver), audio, and serial RS-232
communication, and output the signals locally. For video resolutions up to 1600 x 1200, the
receiver video output is a perfect, pixel-for-pixel or digital recreation of the selected video
signal input to the switcher via a transmitter.
