FOX3 Matrix 80x • Setup Guide (Continued)
The Extron proprietary fiber optic signal, generated by Extron fiber optic transmitters, can include video, stereo audio, USB 2.0,
USB HID, return audio, IR, 3D sync, and transmitter-to-receiver RS-232 serial communications.
The matrix switcher can be remotely controlled via the rear panel Ethernet LAN port, rear panel RS-232 port (SIS only), or front
panel USB port, using either the Windows
commands.
NOTES:
•
Compatible optical signals are digital signals up to 10 Gbps that are sent and received via fiber optic small form factor
pluggable (SFP) modules.
•
The FOX3 transmitter-to-receiver communications, including the serial link, occupy one matrix switcher input and
output. This matrix switcher supports the insertion, through the LAN port, of serial (pass through) communications from
the matrix to the FOX3 transmitter or the FOX3 receiver.
The switcher has two hot-swappable 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz power supplies that provide worldwide power compatibility
and reliability.
Configurability and Transmission modes
The FOX3 Matrix Switchers are assembled from individual input/output (I/O) boards. The switcher can include up to 10 I/O
boards, each supports up to 8 inputs and 8 outputs. The two types of I/O boards are:
•
Singlemode (SM) fiber optic 8x8 I/O board — Very long distance, up to 20 km (12.43 miles)
•
Multimode (MM) fiber optic 8x8 I/O board — Long distance, up to 500 m (1640 feet)
Increase or decrease the size of the FOX3 Matrix 80x Switcher from an 8-input by 8-output matrix to an 80-input by 80-output
matrix by adding or removing I/O boards.
NOTE:
Multimode and singlemode fiber optic I/O boards can be mixed in a FOX3 Matrix switcher, but it is imperative to
connect the proper transmission mode fiber cables to the board.
Rear Panel
As shown in figure 2, each I/O board is identified by the input and output numbers supported by the board position. The board
position designators, printed beside the fan, correspond to the input and output numbers served by that position (1 - 40, 41 - 80).
WARNING: This unit outputs continuous invisible light, which may be harmful to the eyes; use with caution. For additional
safety, plug the attached dust caps into the optical transceivers when the fiber cable is unplugged.
AVERTISSEMENT : L'appareil émet une lumière invisible en continu, à utiliser avec précaution. Pour une sécurité renforcée,
associez les bouchons anti-poussière à l'ensemble émetteur/récepteur optique lorsque le câble fibre optique est
débranché.
