Input connectors and LEDs —
Connectors — For one-way video, audio, and serial
communications from the transmitter to the FOX SW8
(to be switched to the receiver) connect up to eight fiber
optic cables to the input (right-hand) LC connector on the
optical transceiver blocks (see figure 3).
Connect the far end of these fiber optic cables to
the sending connectors on the transmitters or other
compatible Extron devices.
LEDs — When lit, the link is active (light is received from
the transmitter).
NOTES:
•
The right-hand LEDs for transceiver blocks 2, 4,
6, and 8 may light, but do not indicate an input
to that connector.
•
For HDCP compliance when the output is to
an Extron FOXBOX or PowerCage FOX HDMI
receiver, connect a fiber cable between this
connector and the Tx LC connector on the
receiver.
•
In an HDCP compliant system, input 8
cannot be from an active transmitter
(see
figure 4
on the next page).
c
Loop connectors and LEDs —
Connectors — For unswitched (input
1 loops through to output 1, input 2 to
output 2, and so on), one-way video, audio, and serial communications, looped
through from the switcher, connect fiber optic cables to the Loop
(left-hand) LC connectors on transceiver blocks 1 through 7 (see figure 3).
Connect the far ends of these fiber optic cables to the receiving connectors on the
receivers or other compatible Extron devices.
NOTE: For HDCP compliance when the input is from an Extron FOXBOX or
PowerCage FOX HDMI transmitter, connect a fiber cable between this connector
and the Rx LC connector on the transmitter (see
LEDs — These LEDs are always lit (light is always output to these connectors).
d
Output connector and LED —
Connector — For the switched output one-way video, audio, and serial
communications, connect a fiber optic cable to the Output (left-hand) LC connector on
transceiver block 8 (see figure 3).
Connect the far end of this fiber optic cable to the receiving connector on the receiver or
other compatible Extron device.
LED — This LED is always lit (light is always output on this connector).
