About the FOX DA8 Plus

The FOX DA8 Plus units are singlemode and multimode ultra-high performance fiber optic
distribution amplifiers. The DA (see
a compatible Extron fiber optic transmitter (Tx) or other device. The optical signal can include
video, audio, and one-way (transmitter-to-receiver [Rx]) RS-232 communications.

NOTES:
The FOX DA8 Plus 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, HDMI, or
DVI, depending on the source transmitter and the receiver), audio, and serial RS-232
communication, and output the signals locally. For video resolutions up to 1900x1200, the
video outputs for the receivers are a perfect, pixel-for-pixel or digital recreation of the video
signal input to the FOX DA8 Plus via a transmitter.

Typical FOX DA8 Plus 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 video component of the signal from an Extron Tx can be either
VGA - UXGA RGB video, High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI), or
digital visual interface (DVI) video.
• Distribution of HDMI video is not HDCP-compliant.
• 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 Plus does not support transmission of a return (Rx-to-Tx) serial
data stream.
• The DA can receive and send the proprietary signal from and to any compatible
Extron fiber optic transmitter, receiver, or switcher (see
Equipment" on page 20 for a partial list of compatible products).
