Extron electronics FOX 2G Tx AV Setup Manual

Setup Guide — FOX 2G Tx/Rx AV
Installation and service must be performed by
W
authorized personnel only.
These instructions provide a quick setup guide for
the Extron FOX 2G Tx/Rx AV. They are for use by
experienced installers.
The FOX 2G Tx AV and FOX 2G Rx AV are a high performance, low resolution video, audio,
and data (RS-232) transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) pairs. Both the transmitter and receiver are
available in single mode (SM) and multi-mode (MM) models. The SM models transmit signals
up to 30 km (18 miles) over fiber optic cable, at rates up to 2 Gbps.
N The transmitter and receiver must be compatible. Both must be MM or both must be SM. It
is not possible to mix types.
W The FOX 2G Tx/Rx AV outputs continuous invisible light (Class 1 rated), which may
be harmful and dangerous to the eyes; use with caution.
Do not look into the rear panel fiber optic cable connectors or into the fiber optic cables
themselves.
Plug the attached dust caps into the optical transceivers when the fiber optic cable is
N
unplugged.
To install, cable, and power on the transmitter/receiver pair:
Step 1
Turn off all equipment or disconnect it from power sources.
Mount the transmitter and receiver as required.
Step 2
Connect a low resolution video source to the transmitter using
the input BNC connections for composite or component sources.
S-video can be connected using either the BNC connectors or the
4-pin mini DIN. (See the figure at right).
Step 3
Connect balanced or unbalanced, stereo or mono audio input
to the transmitter using the 5-pole, 3.5 mm captive screw
connector. (See the figure at right).
Step 4
If required, connect an alarm system to the transmitter's
2-pole captive screw connector.
Step 5
To configure the transmitter and receiver using RS-232
commands, connect a control device to the three right poles
( ,Tx, and Rx), labeled RS-232 Remote, on the RS-232 captive
screw connector of the transmitter (see the figure at the bottom
of the page). Alternatively, the host device can be connected
through the front panel Config port or the corresponding ports on the receiver
(see step 13). These ports may also be used to configure the system with the
FOX Extender Windows
Step 6
To pass through RS-232 commands to remote devices, independently of the
FOX 2G Tx/Rx AV, use the three left poles (Tx, Rx, and ), labeled RS-232
Over Fiber. The ground is common for both sets of RS-232 signals. (See the
figure at right).
