Operation; Front Panel Indicators - Extron electronics FOX 3G HD-SDI User Manual

Operation

After the transmitting and receiving units and all of their connected devices are powered up,
the system is fully operational. If any problems are encountered, ensure all traditional and
fiber cables are routed and connected properly.

Front Panel Indicators

All indicators are on the front panel (figure 6).

CAUTIONS: This product is intended to be supplied by a Listed Power Unit
marked "Class 2" or "LPS," rated 12 VDC, 1.0 A minimum. Always
use a power supply supplied by or specified by Extron. Use of an
unauthorized power supply voids all regulatory compliance certification
and may cause damage to the supply and the end product.
Unless otherwise stated, the AC/DC adapters are not suitable for use
in air handling spaces or in wall cavities. The installation must always
be in accordance with the applicable provisions of National Electrical
Code ANSI/NFPA 70, article 75 and the Canadian Electrical Code
part 1, section 16. The power supply shall not be permanently fixed to
a building structure or similar structure.
Power supply voltage polarity is critical. Incorrect voltage polarity can
damage the power supply and the unit. The ridges on the side of the
cord (figure 5) identify the power cord negative lead.

FOX 3G HD-SDI transceiver indicators
Power indicator — When lit, this light emitting diode (LED) indicates that the
FOX 3G HD-SDI transceiver is receiving power.
Rate indicators — These LEDs light to indicate the detected input video rate, 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). The recognized rates are 270 Mbps,
1.485 Gbps, or 2.97 Gbps.
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.
NOTES: • All four Rate LEDs blink repeatedly if a fiber optic connector module on
the rear of the unit is unseated.
• The FOX 3G HD-SDI equalizes and distributes the input whether it
recognizes the rate or not.
