Quick Start Guide — FOX HD-SDI The FOX HD-SDI is a transceiver that can function as a transmitter and/or a receiver. At least two units are required for a transmitter-receiver system with at least one fiber optic cable linking each two units. The FOX HD-SDI is available in single mode or multimode versions. Connect and operate two or more FOX HD-SDI units as follows: Step 1 Power off all equipment. If desired, mount the units in racks. Step 2 MODE MODE Use the rear panel 1 down Mode DIP switches 2 down...

Installation and Operation Mounting the Unit Installation and service must be performed by authorized personnel only. The 1" high, quarter-rack width transceiver can be placed on a tabletop, mounted on a rack shelf, mounted under a desk or tabletop, or mounted on a projector bracket. Tabletop placement Affix the four included rubber feet to the bottom of the unit and place it in any convenient location.

Figure 2-2 — Mounting the transceiver on a standard rack shelf Secure the shelf to the rack using the supplied machine screws.
Installation and Operation, cont’d Through-desk mounting The transceiver can be mounted through a desk or other furniture using an optional Extron MBD 129 through-desk mounting kit, part #70-077-02. Mount the transceiver through a desk or table as follows (figure 2-4): Figure 2-4 —...
Installation and Operation, cont’d Use the two included tie wraps to strap the power supply to one of the brackets. The PMK 300 has a hole in the bottom plate that allows the projector pole to be inserted through the center of the plate (figure 2-6), rather than outside of the plate (figure 2-5). To install the PMK 300 in this configuration, slide the bracket up from the bottom of the pole before the projector is installed on the pole. Bracket Brace Extron U-Bolt PMK 300 Multi-product Projector Mount Kit Figure 2-6 — Projector pole on the inside Place the contoured bracket brace against the pole and opposite the back plate.
