Quick Start Guide —­ FOX 2G Tx/Rx AV

Step 1

Turn off all equipment or disconnect it from power sources. Mount the transmitter and receiver as required.

Step 2

Connect a low resolution video source to the transmitter using the BNC connections for composite or component sources. S-video can be connected using either the BNC connectors or the 4-pin mini DIN. (See the figure at right and page 2-11).

configuration.

 

Step 6

To configure the transmitter and receiver using RS-232 commands, connect the control device to the three right poles (,Tx, and Rx), labeled RS-232 Remote, on the RS-232 captive screw connector of the transmitter (see the figure at right and page

3-3). Alternatively, the host device can be connected through the front panel Config port (see page 3-2) or the corresponding ports on the receiver (see step 13). These ports may also be used to configure the system

with the FOX Extender Windows Control Program.

RS-232

Step 7

To pass through RS-232 commands to remote devices, independently of the FOX 2G Tx/Rx AV, use the three left poles (Tx, Rx, and ), labeled RS-232 Over Fiber. The ground is common for both sets of RS-232 signals. (See the figure above right and page 3-3).
