Extron electronics FOXBOX T HD-SDI Setup Manual

FOXBOX T HD-SDI • Setup Guide
This guide provides instructions for an experienced installer to install the Extron FOXBOX T HD-SDI
transmitter and to make all connections.
The FOXBOX T HD-SDI transmits 3G HD-SDI, HD-SDI, and SDI video and embedded digital audio
via a single fiber optic cable. A compatible Extron fiber optic receiver receives the image and outputs the video and audio. The transmitter
is compatible with existing Extron FOX, FOXBOX, and PowerCage FOX VGA, DVI, HDMI and SR HDMI receivers and all FOX II receivers.
The transmitter can also send optional analog audio and RS-232 control signals. With a second fiber optic cable, the transmitter can
receive RS-232 responses from the connected receiver.
NOTE: There are operational limitations when connected to an Extron FOX II receiver. The serial return from the receiver does not work.
Neither digital nor analog audio is available at the receiver; analog return audio continues to be available at the transmitter.
WARNING:
The FOXBOX T HD-SDI outputs continuous invisible light (Class 1 rated), which may be harmful to the eyes; use with
caution. Plug the attached dust caps into the optical transceivers when the fiber cable is unplugged.
AVERTISSEMENT :
pour les yeux, à utiliser avec précaution. Branchez les protections contre la poussière dans l'ensemble émetteur/récepteur lorsque
le câble fibre optique est débranché.
