SDI/HD-SDI Input BNC. The transceiver converts the video input to a proprietary signal and transmits the video over a fiber link to another FOX 3G HD-SDI that is configured as either a bidirectional transceiver or a receiver.
HD/SDI Input BNC. The transmitter converts the video input to a proprietary signal and transmits the video over a fiber link to a FOX 3G HD-SDI that is configured as either a receiver or a bidirectional transceiver. The transmitter also simultaneously outputs the digital video on its two Buffered Outputs BNCs.
(SFP) modules with LC-type connectors. Extends HD-SDI, SDI, and 3G-SDI signals very long distances over a single fiber — The FOX 3G HD-SDI supports multi-rate SDI at rates up to 2.97 Gbps, and complies with SMPTE 259M-C, 292M, 424M, and ITU digital video standards.
Operation Installation Overview Follow these steps to install and set up an Extron FOX 3G HD-SDI for operation: Turn off all of the equipment. Ensure that the video sources and the output display are all turned off and disconnected from the power source.
BUFFERED OUTPUTS Figure 4. FOX 3G HD-SDI Transceiver Connectors HD-SDI Input connector — If the FOX 3G HD-SDI is configured as either a bidirectional transceiver or as a transmitter, connect an HD-SDI, SDI, or 3G-SDI video input to this BNC connector.

Buffered Outputs connectors — In any FOX 3G HD-SDI configuration, connect Configurations for more a digital display to these BNC connectors. See Transceiver details. If the FOX 3G HD-SDI is configured as a bidirectional transceiver, the video is output on both connectors 1 and 2 and is the video signal sent from the other transceiver. If the FOX 3G HD-SDI is configured as a receiver, the video is output on connector 2 only and is the video sent by the transmitting unit. If the FOX 3G HD-SDI is configured as a transmitter, the video is output on both...
When the Rate Unknown LED lights, this indicates that an input is detected, either on the HD/SDI input BNC (if configured as a transmitter) or on the Optical Rx connector (if configured as a receiver or bidirectional transceiver), but that the FOX 3G HD-SDI does not recognize the rate.
• All transceivers in the system must be the same model (all singlemode or all multimode). Mixed transmission mode units will not work together. FOX 3G HD-SDI • Installation and Operation...
Specifications NOTES: • The FOX 3G HD-SDI is a transceiver that can function as a transmitter and/or as a receiver. Two units are required for a transmitter-receiver system with one fiber optic cable linking the two units. The FOX 3G HD-SDI is available in singlemode or multimode versions.

The unit can be mounted under a horizontal surface using an optional MBU 125 under-desk mounting kit (part #70-077-01). Mount the unit under a desk or table as follows: Remove feet from the bottom of the FOX 3G HD-SDI unit if installed. Secure the under-desk mounting brackets to the transceiver with the four machine screws provided in the mounting kit (figure 9).
