FOX 500 DVI

Description (continued)

At the FOX 500 DVI transmitter, both transmitter and receiver can be controlled and configured through RS-232. With a second fiber link installed, functions for both units can be controlled at either location. Since the units are typically situated far apart, this capability adds considerable versatility, enabling adjustment and calibration of audio at the receiver. It also allows for verification of fiber link status between the units as well as the presence of DVI-D and audio input signals at the transmitter.

DVI-to-Analog RGB and Analog RGB-to-DVI Conversion

The FOX 500 DVI transmitter and receiver are available separately. Either device can be paired with the standard FOX 500 transmitter or receiver to provide ultra-long distance transmission and conversion of DVI-D signals to analog RGB and vice versa. With the second fiber link in place, the FOX 500 DVI receiver can be used to adjust and calibrate incoming analog RGB signals to the FOX 500 transmitter, or automatically set image adjustments through Auto-Image™.

The FOX 500 DVI receiver is also compatible with the FOX 500 DA6 Six Output Fiber Optic Transmitter, which enables transmission of analog RGB over up to six fiber links for distribution to multiple DVI-equipped displays.

SPECIFICATIONS

NOTE: The FOX 500 DVI consists of a transmitter (FOX 500 DVI TX) and a receiver (FOX 500 DVI RX) with one or two fiber optic cables linking the two units. They are available in singlemode or multimode versions. FOX 500 DVI systems are not HDCP compliant and do not support HDCP handshaking.

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

These 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.

Optical fiber interconnection between transmitter and receiver

Number/type. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 or 2 fiber optic

Only one fiber is required to transmit video, audio, and unidirectional data. A second fiber is required to transmit return data for bidirectional control/communication.

Connectors	2 LC connectors
Operating distance	30 km (18.75 miles) with singlemode (SM) cables with a FOX 500 DVI SM
	0.15 km (492’) with multimode (MM) cables with a FOX 500 DVI MM

NOTE: Operating distance is approximate. These are typical distances. The maximum distance may be greater than these typical numbers depending on factors such as fiber type, fiber bandwidth, connector splicing, losses, modal or chromatic dispersion, environmental factors, and kinks.
