Extron electronic FOX 2G Tx manual Video Connections, BNC Input Mini DIN Input

The FOX 2G Tx/Rx AV accepts a single low resolution video signal (composite, S-video and low resolution component video) and outputs a single low resolution video signal (composite, S-video and low resolution component video). It is not compatible with RGB or HDTV 480p, 720p, or 1080i component video signals.

The transmitter converts incoming signals to a proprietary format and passes them along the fiber optic cable to the FOX 2G Rx AV. The receiver converts the signal to a format that matches the display requirements. SIS™ commands are used to configure the receiver to convert between signal formats (see page 3-10).

To input a low resolution component signal, or output a component output signal, connect three BNC male connectors to the Y/VID, B-Y/C, and R-Y receptacles on the back panel of the unit.

There are two alternative methods to input or output an S-video signal:

•Connect BNC male connectors to the Y/VID and B-Y/C receptacles on the back panel of the unit.

•Connect a 4-pin mini DIN to the S-VID receptacle on the back panel of the unit.

NIn addition to the selected output type, using BNC connectors, a transcoded S-video signal is always output from the receiver's S-VID socket.

To input or output a composite signal, use a single BNC male connector to the Y/VID receptacle on the back panel of the unit.

When both the BNC connectors and the 4-pin mini DIN provide simultaneous video input, the signal with the highest priority for video output is highlighted in the table below:
