Features
Ultra high performance — Outputs up to eight perfect, pixel-by-pixel RGBHV or digital
video transmissions to compatible receivers. The FOX DA8 Plus can handle analog video
resolutions up to 1900x1200 at 60 Hz. Higher resolutions can be transmitted, but with some
loss of video quality.
Optical input and outputs — The FOX DA8 Plus inputs and outputs the optical signal on
LC video connectors.
Active and individually isolated outputs — The FOX DA8 Plus uses active signal splitting
to maintain equal transmitter power to all outputs, maximizing distance capabilities by
ensuring full availability of optical loss budget for each output.
Three user selectable DA configurations — Configurable as a single 8-output
distribution amplifier, or as two 4-output or four 2-output distribution amplifiers.
Selectable input reclocking — Reshapes and restores timing of the digital signal on the
input (affecting the buffered output) at a rate selected among 4.25 Gbps, 2.125 Gbps, or
1.25 Gbps. You can also bypass the reclocking function.
Remote control operation — The DA can be remotely controlled via either of two remote
control ports. Control is using either the Simple Instructrion Set (SIS™) or the Extron FOX
Extenders Control Program.
Front panel USB configuration port — The FOX DA8 Plus features a front panel USB port
provides easy access for remote control operation.
RS-232 control — The FOX DA8 Plus features a rear panel RS-232 serial port for remote
control operation.
Rack mounting — The unit is rack mountable in any conventional 19-inch wide rack, using
an Extron full size rack shelf.
Power — The 100 VAC to 240 VAC, internal power supply provides worldwide power
compatibility.
