NOTES:

•Compatible optical signals are digital signals from 270 Mbs through 4.25 Gbps,

sent and received via fiber optic small form factor pluggable (SFP) modules. The FOX matrix switchers support all compatible optical signals, whether transmitted or received by an Extron FOX system component or not.

•The Extron FOX transmitter-to receiver communications, including the serial link, occupy one matrix switcher input and output. This matrix switcher also supports the Extron FOX return (receiver-to-transmitter) serial communications, but returning this signal stream to the transmitter uses a separate matrix switcher input and output.

The switchers input and output the optical signals that they route on fiber optic transceiver modules and the 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, and SDI video signals on BNC connectors.

The switcher has two 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 175-watt power supplies that provide worldwide power compatibility and reliability.

The matrix switcher is a single box solution to complex fiber optic and broadcast signal routing applications. Each input and output is individually isolated and buffered. Any input can be switched to any one output or all outputs with virtually no crosstalk or signal noise between channels.

The matrix switcher can be remotely controlled using either the Extron Matrix Switchers Control Program or the Simple Instruction Set (SIS). Control is available via:

•A rear panel Remote RS-232/RS-422 port

•A rear panel LAN port

•A front panel RS-232 serial Config (configuration) port

The SIS is a set of basic ASCII code commands that provide simple control through a control system or PC without the need to enter long strings of code. SIS commands can be entered via any of the ports listed above.

The switcher can be operated remotely by any of the following connected to a serial port or LAN port:

•A control system

•A PC computer

•An Extron MKP 2000 or remote control panel

•An Extron MKP 3000 remote control panel

•(RS-232 or RS-422 only) An Extron MCP 1000 remote control panel, an MKP 1000 remote keypad, or both

The matrix switcher is housed in a rack-mountable, metal enclosure with mounting flanges for standard 19-inch racks. The sizes are as follows:

•FOX Matrix 7200 — 8U high

•FOX Matrix 3200 — 4U high
