About this Manual
This manual contains information about the Extron FOX 500
family of fiber optic products. The FOX 500 family (figure 1-1)
consists of two compatible sets of ultra-high performance fiber
optic transmitters and receivers:
• FOX 500 Tx (RGB) transmitter — Accepts an analog RGB
video input, an audio input, and an RS-232 serial input
and outputs a proprietary optical signal to a FOX 500
receiver. Also can receive a proprietary optical signal
from the receiver consisting of an RS-232 signal such as
the return from a controlled device.
• FOX 500 Rx (RGB) receiver — Accepts a proprietary
optical signal from a FOX 500 transmitter and outputs
analog RGB video, audio, and RS-232 serial commands.
Also can receive an RS-232 signal, such as a return from
a controlled device, and send it to the transmitter via a
proprietary optical signal.
• FOX 500 DVI Tx transmitter — Accepts a single link of
DVI video input, an audio input, and an RS-232 serial
input and outputs a proprietary optical signal to a
FOX 500 receiver. Also can receive a proprietary optical
signal from the receiver consisting of an RS-232 signal
such as the return from a controlled device.
• FOX 500 DVI Rx receiver — Accepts a proprietary optical
signal from a FOX 500 transmitter and outputs a single
link of DVI video, audio, and RS-232 serial commands.
Also can receive an RS-232 signal, such as a return from
a controlled device, and send it to the transmitter via a
proprietary optical signal.

The FOX 500 DVI does not support the transmission of
signals with High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection
(HDCP).
