Features
Fiber optic characteristics — The FOX 3G HD-SDI sends and receives digital optical signals
via fiber optic small form factor pluggable (SFP) modules with LC-type connectors.
Extends HD-SDI, SDI, and 3G-SDI signals very long distances over a single fiber —
The FOX 3G HD-SDI supports multi-rate SDI at rates up to 2.97 Gbps, and complies with
SMPTE 259M-C, 292M, 424M, and ITU digital video standards.
(FOX 3G HD-SDI P SM only) Immunity to SDI and HD-SDI pathological signal
patterns — The FOX 3G HD-SDI P SM model adds immunity to pathological signals,
including test patterns defined by SMPTE RP 178 and SMPTE RP 198 for SD-SDI, HD-SDI and
3G-SDI
Video input — When it is configured as a transmitter, the FOX 3G HD-SDI inputs digital
video on a BNC connector.
HD-SDI loop-through — The transceiver has two Buffered SDI/HD-SDI BNC connectors that
allows connection of a local monitor when the transceiver is configured as a transmitter.
Video output — The transceiver outputs digital video on one or two Buffered SDI/HD-SDI
BNC connectors when it is configured as a bidirectional transceiver or a receiver.
Dual buffered outputs — When the FOX 3G HD-SDI is configured as a transmitter, the
SDI/HD-SDI BNC output connectors can be used for previewing the video on a local monitor.
Input equalization and reclocking on buffered outputs — The FOX 3G HD-SDI
automatically equalizes incoming multi-rate SDI signals, and reshapes and restores signals on
its buffered outputs.
Daisy chain capability — Up to 10 transceivers can be daisy chained to send the video to
multiple locations when one of more units are configured as receivers.
Real-time status LED indicators for troubleshooting and monitoring
1-inch high, quarter rack width, metal enclosures — With low profile enclosures, the
transceiver can be discreetly installed in various locations, such as behind a plasma or LCD
flat-panel display.
Rack mountable — The unit is rack mountable in any conventional 19-inch wide rack,
using any of a variety of Extron rack shelves.
Power — The 100 VAC to 240 VAC external power supply provides worldwide power
compatibility.
