Features
Ultra high performance — The switcher inputs up to eight perfect, pixel-by-pixel RGBHV
or digital video signals and transmits the selected signal to a compatible receiver. The
switcher can handle analog video resolutions up to 1900x1200 at 60 Hz. Higher resolutions
can be transmitted, but with some loss of video quality.
Optical input and outputs — The switcher inputs and outputs the optical signal on
LC video connectors.
Active and individually isolated inputs
System video output — When the optical input is from a FOX 500 or FOXBOX Tx, rather
than a FOX HD-SDI, the video portion of the optical video output can be decoded to either
RGB video or DVI video, depending on the receiver connected.
HDCP compliant — In an HDMI system, when two fiber cables are connected between
the input device and the switcher and between the switcher and the output device, the
switched signal maintains HDCP compliance.
NOTE: In an HDCP-compliant configuration, the input 8 fiber cable must be connected
Selectable output reclocking — Reshapes and restores timing of the digital signal on the
switched output at rate a selected among 4.25 Gbps, 2.125 Gbps, or 1.25 Gbps. You can
also bypass the reclocking function.
Loop through — Inputs 1 through 7 are looped through and available for local use or for
HDCP compliance.
NOTE: Loop through outputs are not reclocked.
Front panel USB configuration port — The FOX SW8 features a front panel USB port
that provides easy access for remote control operation.
RS-232 control — The FOX SW8 features a rear panel RS-232 serial port for remote
control operation.
Rack mounting — The unit is rack mountable in any conventional 19-inch wide rack, using
an Extron full size rack shelf.
Power — The 100 VAC to 240 VAC, internal power supply provides worldwide power
compatibility.
to the output device, so the switcher is effectively a 7-input switcher (see
