About the FOX DA8

The Extron FOX DA8 product family (see
performance fiber optic distribution amplifiers.
The FOX DA8 accepts a proprietary input optical signal from a compatible Extron fiber optic
transmitter (Tx). The optical signal can include video, audio, and one-way (transmitter-to-
receiver [Rx]) RS-232 communications.

Figure 1.
NOTES:
The FOX DA8 actively splits the proprietary signal into eight identical optical signals and
outputs the signals on fiber optic cables to compatible receivers.
NOTES:
The connected receivers convert the proprietary signals back to video (RGB, DVI, or
SDI/HD-SDI, depending on the source transmitter and the receiver), audio, and serial RS-232
communication, and output the signals locally. For video resolutions up to 1600x1200, the
video outputs for the receivers are a perfect, pixel-for-pixel or digital recreation of the video
signal input to the FOX DA8 via a transmitter.

Typical FOX DA8 Application
Compatible optical signals are digital signals from 2.0 Mbps through
•
4.25 Gbps that are sent and received via fiber optic SFP modules. The FOX
DA8 supports all compatible optical signals, whether transmitted or received
by an Extron fiber optic system component or not.
The video component of the signal from an Extron Tx can be either
•
VGA - UXGA RGB video, digital visual interface (DVI) video, or SDI/HD-SDI
video.
The serial component of the signal is for applications such as projector control
•
and transmitter control of the receiver.
The eight optical outputs are identical.
•
The FOX DA8 does not support transmission of a return (Rx-to-Tx) serial data
•
stream.
The switcher can receive and send the proprietary signal from and to any
•
compatible Extron fiber optic transmitter, receiver, or switcher (see"Reference
Information" for a list of compatible products).
