Rx — If the FOX HD-SDI is configured as a bidirectional

 

transceiver or as a receiver, for one-way communications

 

from the transmitting unit, connect a fiber optic cable to the

 

Optical Rx connector.

 

If the FOX HD-SDI is configured as a bidirectional transceiver,

 

connect the free end of this fiber optic cable to the Optical Tx

 

connector on the transmitting FOX HD-SDI.

 

If the FOX HD-SDI is configured as a receiver, connect the

 

free end of this fiber optic cable to the Optical Tx connector

 

on the next FOX HD-SDI in the daisy chain.

D

Buffered Outputs connectors — In any FOX HD-SDI

 

configuration, connect a digital display to these BNC

 

connectors. See "Transceiver configurations" on page 1-3 for

 

more details.

 

If the FOX HD-SDI is configured as a bidirectional transceiver,

 

the video is output on both connectors 1 and 2 and is the video

 

signal sent from the other transceiver.

 

If the FOX HD-SDI is configured as a receiver, the video

 

is output on connector 2 only and is the video sent by the

 

transmitting unit.

 

If the FOX HD-SDI is configured as a transmitter, the video is

 

output on both connectors 1 and 2 and is looped through from

 

the same transceiver's HD/SDI Input connector, item A.

E

Power connector — Plug the included external 12 VDC

 

power supply into this 2-pole captive screw connector.

 

See “Power supply wiring”, on the next page, to wire the

 

connector.

CPower supply voltage polarity is critical. Incorrect voltage polarity can damage the power supply and the FOX HD-SDI. Identify the power cord negative lead by the ridges on the side of the cord (figure 2-10).

To verify the polarity before connection, plug in the power supply with no load and check the output with a voltmeter.

WThe two power cord wires must be kept separate while the power supply is plugged in. Remove power before wiring.

CThe length of the exposed (stripped) copper wires is important. The ideal length is 3/16" (5 mm). Longer bare wires can short together. Shorter wires are not as secure in the connectors and could be pulled out.

NDo not tin the power supply leads before installing them in the connector. Tinned wires are not as secure in the connectors and could be pulled out.

Use the supplied tie-wrap to strap the power cord to the extended tail of the connector.

Alternatively, an optional Extron PS 123 Universal 12 VDC Power Supply, part #60-814-01, can power multiple Extron 12 VDC devices using only one AC power connector.

FOX HD-SDI specifications

Extron Electronics has long been a leader in advanced technology solutions for the professional audiovisual market, and the FOX HD-SDI is a prime example of its commitment to delivering reliable and high-quality products. The FOX HD-SDI is an innovative HD-SDI distribution amplifier designed to optimally transmit high-definition serial digital interface signals for broadcast and professional AV applications.

One of the key features of the FOX HD-SDI is its capability to support 3G-SDI signals, making it suitable for high-definition video formats and ensuring that it can handle a range of resolution standards, including 1080p. This device is equipped with multiple outputs, allowing a single HD-SDI signal to be distributed to multiple displays or devices without degrading video quality. With a distribution factor of 1x8, the FOX HD-SDI can effectively replicate signals to meet the demands of extensive installations.

The FOX HD-SDI ensures high performance through its advanced equalization technology, which compensates for signal degradation that can occur over long cable runs. This feature allows users to enjoy seamless video transmission even at distances of up to 300 feet using standard coaxial cabling. Additionally, users can adjust the output levels for optimal signal integrity, further enhancing the reliability of the transmission.

Another notable characteristic of the FOX HD-SDI is its compact and rugged design, making it an ideal choice for professional environments where space is limited. The device is housed in a sturdy metal enclosure, ensuring durability and reliability in demanding production settings. Furthermore, the installation process is streamlined with the use of Extron’s intuitive interface and easy-to-follow connections, facilitating quick integration into existing systems.

For users who require flexibility, the FOX HD-SDI is compatible with other Extron products and supports a range of control options, including RS-232 for remote monitoring and management. This integration capability empowers users to create a cohesive and efficient AV system tailored to their specific needs.

In summary, the Extron FOX HD-SDI emerges as a versatile and powerful solution for HD-SDI distribution. With its robust set of features, including support for 3G-SDI, excellent signal equalization, multiple outputs, and a compact design, it is well-suited for commercial and broadcast applications where quality and reliability are paramount.
