Specifications — FOX 2G AV Series

NThe FOX 2G AV consists of a transmitter (FOX 2G Tx AV) and a receiver (FOX 2G Rx AV) with one or two fiber optic cables linking the two units.

NThe analog video input signal is digitized pixel for pixel in the transmitter, sent digitally through the fiber cable, and converted back to analog video in the receiver.

NThe analog audio signal(s) is (are) digitized in the transmitter, sent through the fiber cable, and converted back to analog audio in the receiver.

NThese transceivers are class 1 laser products. They meet the safety regulations of IEC-60825, FDA 21 CFR 1040.10, and FDA 21 CFR 1040.11.
