Figure 1.
Typical FOX Matrix 14400 Application
NOTE: The non-pathologically-compliant multimode and singlemode fiber optic I/O
boards are physically and functionally identical, with the exception of the effective
range of transmission. In this guide, any reference to fiber optic transmission
applies to either transmission mode unless otherwise specified. The pathologically-
compliant fiber optic I/O board is identified separately where appropriate.
By adding or removing I/O boards, the FOX matrix switcher is expandable and contractable
within the following ranges:
•
FOX Matrix 320x — Includes up to 20 I/O boards. It is expandable from a 16-input by
16-output matrix to a 320-input by 320-output matrix.
•
FOX Matrix 14400 — Includes up to 9 I/O boards. It is expandable from a 16-input by
16-output matrix to a 144-input by 144-output matrix.
The Extron proprietary fiber optic signal, generated by FOX 500, FOXBOX,
PowerCage FOX, and FOX II transmitters, can include video, stereo audio, and transmitter-
to-receiver RS-232 serial communications. The video component of the signal can be of a
variety of formats, depending on the transmitter and receiver:
•
RGB video
•
Digital Visual Interface (DVI) video
•
3G-SDI, HD-SDI, or SDI video
•
Low resolution (composite video or S-video)
NOTES:
•
Compatible optical signals are digital signals from 270 Mbps through 4.25 Gbps
that are sent and received via fiber optic small form factor pluggable (SFP) modules
with LC-type connectors. The FOX matrix switchers support all compatible optical
signals, whether transmitted or received by an Extron fiber optic system component
or not.
•
The FOX 500, FOXBOX, and PowerCage FOX transmitter-to receiver
communications, including the serial link, occupy one matrix switcher input
and output. This matrix switcher also supports the FOX 500 return (receiver-
to-transmitter) serial communications, but returning this signal stream to the
transmitter occupies a separate matrix switcher input and output.
