Ultra high performance — Offers pixel-for-pixel HDMI or DVI-D (with an adapter)
video transmission, up to 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz (in Plus mode) or 1600 x 1200 at 60 Hz
(in non-plus mode).
Video input — The transmitter accepts a single link of HDMI or DVI-D video.
Loop-through on transmitter — The transmitter has an HDMI loop-through on a
HDMI connector that allows connection of a local monitor.
EDID emulation mode (Display Data Channel [DDC]) — The FOXBOX Tx HDMI
transmitter provides a selector switch for specifying the rate of the incoming digital video
signal. EDID emulation mode allows proper operation when no local monitor is present.
Video output — The receiver outputs a single link of HDMI video.
Extron fiber optic product compatibility — Enables ultra-long distance
HDMI-to-analog RGB and analog RGB-to-HDMI conversion without the need for extra
signal conversion devices.
Compatibility with FOX 500 DA6 distribution amplifier and FOX Matrix Switchers
Analog audio input — The transmitters accept an unbalanced stereo or mono audio
input on a 3.5 mm mini jack.
Analog audio input gain/attenuation — The input audio level of the analog audio can
be adjusted within a range of -18 dB (attenuation) to +10 dB (gain) via the RS-232 link.
Analog audio output — The receiver outputs balanced or unbalanced stereo audio on
a 5-pole captive screw connector and digital audio embedded in the HDMI output.
Links monitoring — The panels of the transmitter and receiver have indicators for
monitoring image and audio transmission and both fiber optic links.
Loss-of-light alarms — The panels of the transmitters and receivers have discrete
outputs that indicate if either of the fiber optic links have suffered a loss of the light
signal.
FOX Extenders Control Program — For RS-232 remote control from a PC, the
Extron FOX Extenders Control Program, which runs under Microsoft® Windows®,
provides a graphical interface and drag-and-drop/point-and-click operation.
Simple Instruction Set — The transmitter and receiver use the SIS for easy remote
control operation.
Analog audio level — The analog audio output is at the consumer level (-10 dBV).
Upgradable firmware — The firmware that controls the operation of each unit can be
upgraded in the field via an RS-232 link without taking the unit out of service. Firmware
upgrades are available for download on the Extron Web site, www.extron.com, and
they can be installed using the FOX Extenders Control Program.
Memory presets — 30 memory presets are a time-saving feature that lets you store
input size and position settings relative to a specific input resolution. You can then recall
those settings, when needed, using the SIS or the control software.
Rack mounting — Both FOXBOX HDMI units are rack mountable in any conventional
19-inch wide rack, using an Extron 9.5-inch or 6-inch deep rack shelf.
Power — The 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz external power supply for each unit
provides worldwide power compatibility.
