Extron Electronics FOX 3G HD-SDI Setup Guide - Manual (Page 2)

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. If your problems
persist, call the Extron S
3 Sales & Technical Support Hotline that is closest to you, at the number shown below.
Fiber Compatibility Indications
Use the proper fiber cable for your transceivers. Each transceiver indicates its fiber compatibility,
singlemode or multimode, at power-up by blinking the four front panel Rate indicators, once for
multimode or twice for singlemode.
NOTE: All transceivers in the system must be the same model (either all singlemode or all multimode). Mixed transmission mode
units will not work together.
Transceiver Configurations
Bidirectional Transceiver
A bidirectional transceiver inputs digital video on its SDI/HD-SDI Input BNC. The transceiver converts the video input to a
proprietary signal and transmits it over a fiber link to another FOX 3G HD-SDI that is configured as either a bidirectional
transceiver or as a receiver.
A bidirectional transceiver can
also simultaneously receive a
proprietary signal from
another transceiver (in
any configuration) on its
Optical Rx port, convert the
proprietary signal
back to the original format
digital video, and output
the video on its own two
Buffered Outputs BNC
connectors.
Transmitter and Receiver
A unit configured as a transmitter inputs digital video on its HD/SDI Input BNC. The transmitter converts the video input
to a proprietary signal and transmits the video over a fiber link to a FOX 3G HD-SDI that is configured as a receiver or as a
bidirectional transceiver. The transmitter also simultaneously outputs the digital video on its two Buffered Outputs BNCs.
A unit configured as a receiver
accepts a proprietary signal on
its Rx fiber optic port.
The receiver converts the
proprietary signal back to
original HD-SDI, SDI, or
3G-SDI video and outputs
the video on only one of its
own Buffered Output BNC
connectors, Output 2.
The receiver converts the
second digital video signal
that it created from the
optical input back into a proprietary signal and outputs it on the Optical Tx port over a fiber link to another FOX 3G HD-SDI
that is configured as a receiver or as a bidirectional transceiver.
NOTE: Up to 10 receivers can be daisy-chained in this manner.
