Wiring Configurations
The PowerCage FOX AEX 104 can be used anywhere local audio-only outputs are required.
The following instructions describe integrating the PowerCage FOX AEX 104 after a
FOX matrix switcher for routing to an audio amplifier or a DSP processor. It can also be
incorporated before a FOX matrix switcher for independent processing of source audio
signals by a DSP processor (see
applications). Each audio extraction point works independently.
NOTE: Transmission of HDMI video with HDCP content requires two fibers.
1.
Connect the fiber output (OUT) of the matrix switcher to the Rx port of an extraction
point on the PowerCage FOX AEX 104.
2.
Connect the Tx port of the same extraction point to the FOX receiver (Rx).
3.
Connect the Tx port of the FOX receiver back into the receiver port on the matrix
switcher (Rx).
4.
Connect local 2-ch audio output to the Audio connector of the extraction point.
After the PowerCage FOX AEX 104 and all connected devices are powered up, the system is
fully operational. If any problems are encountered, ensure all traditional and fiber cables are
routed and connected properly.
TIP: If problems persist, call the Extron S3 Sales and Technical Support Hotline (see the
on the last page for contact numbers).
