FOX 2G Tx/Rx AV Features

Digitized signal transmission — Ensures perfect image quality. The non-linearity of the fiber components does not affect signal quality. Light can be distributed and repeated without signal degradation or compression.

Long distance transmission — Signals may be transmitted up to 500 m (1,640 feet) over multi-mode (MM) fiber or up to 30 km (18 miles) over single mode (SM) fiber.

Daisy chain capability — The system can be expanded to provide output for up to ten display devices.

Integration friendly — A variety of connectors permits input and output of composite, S-video, or component video signals. Compatibility with the Extron Fiber Matrix allows the units to be integrated into more complex A/V systems.

Transmits multiple signal types — Video, audio and data signals can all be transmitted simultaneously over one fiber. The units transmit composite, S-Video, or component video signals and are compatible with NTSC, PAL, and SECAM standards.

All digital, zero compression technology — The FOX 2G AV delivers uncompressed pixel-for-pixel transmission of video signals to ensure optimal image quality.

Auto Input Format Detection — The FOX 2G AV transmitter can be set to detect the incoming video signal format, automatically reconfiguring itself to transmit the signal. This feature can reduce the number of required outputs for a matrix switcher, lowering system cost while improving manageability.

Encoding and decoding — The FOX 2G Tx AV converts incoming signals to a proprietary format that is passed along the fiber optic cable to the FOX 2G Rx AV. At the other end of the cable, the receiver converts the signal to the low resolution format that matches the needs of the display device.

Output Video Formatting — The user can set the output video signal format (composite, S-Video, or component) or follow the format of the source device (video follow).

Picture and audio adjustments — Available picture adjustments include color, tint, contrast, and brightness. Audio adjustments include input gain and attenuation, and output level. Both audio and video can be muted.

Troubleshooting features — A variety of LED signals and indicators allow easy diagnosis of problems.

Easy configuration — The units can be configured using Extron's Special Instruction Set (SIS™) or the FOX Extender Windows Control Program.
