Because the PowerCage FOX 3G HD-SDI board is a transceiver, it can simultaneously
transmit and receive multi-rate SDI signals between a pair of PowerCage FOX 3G HD-SDI
boards or between a PowerCage FOX 3G HD-SDI board and a standalone FOX 3G HD-SDI
unit. It can also be configured as a dedicated transmitter with outputs for previewing
on a local monitor. In addition, the board can be daisy-chained with other PowerCage
FOX 3G HD-SDI units or with receiver boards in other PowerCage enclosures to support
applications using displays in multiple locations.
The Extron PowerCage FOX 3G HD-SDI product family consists of the following two
models of high performance digital video fiber optic transceivers.
z
PowerCage FOX 3G HD-SDI MM, a multimode, long distance (up to 2 km [6,561 feet])
transceiver
z
PowerCage FOX 3G HD-SDI SM, a singlemode, very long distance (up to 30 km
[18.75 miles]) transceiver
The transmitted signal can include any audio or unidirectional serial data that is embedded
in the input video.
NOTES: The two products are physically and functionally identical, with the exception of
the effective range of transmission.
All transceivers in the system must be the same model (all singlemode or all
multimode).
