NOTE: The three products are physically and functionally identical, with the
exception of the effective range of transmission and the compliance. In this
manual, the term “FOX 3G HD-SDI” refers to any of the products.
About the FOX 3G HD-SDI
The Extron FOX 3G HD-SDI product family consists of three models (P SM, SM, and MM)
of high performance digital (HD-SDI, SDI, or 3G-SDI) video fiber optic transceivers. The
transmitted signal can include any audio or unidirectional serial data that is embedded in the
input video.
NOTE: All transceivers in the system must be the same model (all singlemode, all
singlemode pathologically compliant, or all multimode).
Transceiver Configurations
The transceiver can be configured via its rear panel Mode DIP switches to operate in one of
three ways:
•
Bidirectional transceiver
•
Transmitter
•
Receiver
NOTE: See
, “Mode switches,” on page 6 to set the configuration.
Bidirectional transceiver
NOTES: • In this manual, the term “transceiver” refers to any FOX 3G HD-SDI; the term
“bidirectional transceiver” refers to a FOX 3G HD-SDI configured as described
in this section.
• Although the description below does allow connection of a FOX 3G HD-SDI
configured as transmitter or receiver, the typical configuration is as shown:
two bidirectional transceivers.
A FOX 3G HD-SDI that is configured as a bidirectional transceiver (see figure 2) inputs digital
video on its SDI/HD-SDI Input BNC. The transceiver converts the video input to a proprietary
signal and transmits the video over a fiber link to another FOX 3G HD-SDI that is configured
as either a bidirectional transceiver or a receiver.
