About the FOX 4G Matrix 14400
The FOX 4G Matrix 14400 (figure 1-1) is a configurable matrix
switcher that distributes optical signals. Fiber optic I/O boards
route signals that are compatible with all Extron FOX 500,
FOXBOX, FOX 2G, and FOX HD-SDI fiber optic product lines.
The matrix switcher routes any input signal to any combination
of outputs. The matrix switcher can route multiple input/
output configurations simultaneously.
The Extron proprietary fiber optic signal, generated by Extron
FOX fiber optic transmitters, can include video, stereo audio,
and transmitter-to-receiver RS-232 serial communications. The
video component of the signal can be RGB video, Digital Visual
Interface (DVI) video, SDI/HD-SDI video, or low resolution
video, depending on the transmitter and receiver.

N
Compatible optical signals are digital signals from
270 Mbs through 4.25 Gbps that are sent and received via
fiber optic small form factor pluggable (SFP) modules. The
FOX 4G Matrix 14400 supports all compatible optical
signals, whether transmitted or received by an Extron
fiber optic system component or not.
N
The FOX transmitter-to-receiver communications,
including the serial link, occupy one matrix switcher input
and output.
This matrix switcher can also support the FOX return
(receiver-to-transmitter) serial communications, but
returning this signal stream to the transmitter occupies a
separate matrix switcher input and output.
The matrix switcher can be remotely controlled via its Ethernet
LAN port or either of two serial ports using either Extron's
Windows-based Matrix Switchers Control Program or the
Simple Instruction Set (SIS).
The switcher has two internal, hot-swappable 100 VAC to
240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 400-watt power supplies that provide
worldwide power compatibility and reliability.
