Extron Electronics FOX 4G Matrix 7200 Setup Guide - Manual (Page 7)

Refer also to the FOX 4G Matrix Switchers User’s Manual at www.extron.com.
The matrix switcher can be remotely controlled via its Ethernet
LAN port or either of two serial ports using either the Windows-
based Extron Matrix Switchers Control Program or the SIS.
The switcher has two internal, hot-swappable 100 VAC to
240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 175-watt power supplies that provide
worldwide power compatibility and reliability.
Configurability and transmission modes
The FOX 4G Matrix Switchers are assembled from individual
input/output (I/O) boards. The switcher can include up to four
(FOX 4G Matrix 3200) or nine (FOX 4G Matrix 7200) I/O boards,
each of which supports 8 inputs by 8 outputs. The two types of
I/O boards are:
• Singlemode fiber optic 8x8 I/O board, equipped with
removable fiber optic transceiver modules
• Multimode fiber optic 8x8 I/O board, equipped with
removable fiber optic transceiver modules
• SDI/HD-SDI 8x8 I/O board, equipped with permanent
BNC connectors
N As listed above, two versions of the fiber optic I/O boards
are documented in this manual. They are categorized by
the type of fiber optic cable, multimode or singlemode,
which defines the effective range of transmission:
• Singlemode — Very long distance, up to 30 km
(18.75 miles)
• Multimode — Long distance, up to 150 m (492 feet)
By adding or removing I/O boards, you can expand and
contract the FOX 4G Matrix Switchers from an 8-input by
8-output matrix to up to either:
• FOX 4G Matrix 3200 — A 32-input by 32-output matrix
• FOX 4G Matrix 7200 — A 72-input by 72-output matrix
N On a fiber optic I/O board as delivered from Extron, all
transceiver modules are configured the same: either all
multimode or all singlemode. You can mix multimode and
singlemode fiber optic I/O boards in a FOX 4G Matrix
Switcher, but you must ensure that you connect the proper
transmission mode fiber cables to the board.
