Figure 3-1 — FOX 500
N Figure 3-1 shows FOX 500 (RGB) units. The
FOX 500 DVI units are similar, with the exception that
the Signal Monitoring "RGB" LED is labeled "DVI".
a
Power LED — This LED lights to indicate the power is
applied to the unit.
b
Signal monitoring LEDs —
RGB LEDs (FOX 500 [RGB] only) — This LED lights on both
units when the transmitter detects a sync signal on its video
input:
• Horizontal sync (H) (for RGBHV video)
• Composite sync (S) (for RGBS video)
• Green (Sync on green) (G) (for RGsB or RsGsBs video)
DVI LEDs (FOX 500 DVI only) — This LED lights on both units
when the transmitter detects a signal on its DVI video input.
Audio LEDs — This LED lights on both units when the
transmitter detects a low level audio signal for a short period of
time. This LED goes dark if the audio signal drops below the
minimum threshold for a short period of time.
Link 1 LEDs — This LED lights on the receiver when the
receiver detects light on the fiber optic cable Optical 1.
This LED lights on the transmitter when the receiver detects
light on the fiber optic cable Optical 1 and the fiber optic cable
Optical 2 is installed.
Link 2 LEDs — This LED lights on the transmitter when the
transmitter detects light on the fiber optic cable Optical 2.
This LED lights on the receiver when the transmitter detects
light on the fiber optic cable Optical 2 and the fiber optic cable
Optical 1 is installed.
N Only one fiber optic cable, Optical 1, is required for
video, audio, and serial command transmission. But,
if you connect only one fiber optic cable, you will not
receive RS-232 reports from the controlled device, and
there will be reduced front panel functionality. To
receive responses from the controlled device and for full
functionality, you will need to install both fiber optic
cables.
c
Status display — The 12-column by 2-line LCD displays
configuration menus and status information. See "Menu
system overview" in this chapter for details.
d
Menu button — The Menu button enters and moves through
the main menu system in the FOX 500 Rx receiver. See
"Menu system overview" in this chapter for details.
N ext button — The Next button steps through the submenus
in the FOX 500 receiver menu system. See "Menu system
overview" in this chapter for details.
e
Adjust [ (horizontal) and Adjust { (vertical) knobs — The
Adjust [ and Adjust { knobs change settings when used
in conjunction with the menu system. Rotate these knobs to
scroll through the selection options and make adjustments.
See "Menu system overview" in this chapter for details
Front Panel Operations
The following paragraphs detail the power-up process and then
details the menu system, the picture adjustments, and selection
of executive mode.
Power-on indications
Power is automatically applied when the power
cord is connected to an AC source. When AC
power is applied, both units perform self-tests.
When the self-test completes satisfactorily,
both units' signal monitoring LEDs (item b on
figure 3-1) light as appropriate for the connections.
The receiver's LCD (shown at right) displays the
model (D indicates DVI; MM and SM indicate the
transmission mode), horizontal input rates (in kHz)
(or No Input), and vertical input rate (in Hz).
