FOX 500 DVI Tx, FOX 500 DVI Rx specifications

Extron Electronics has established itself as a leader in the field of audio-visual solutions, providing high-quality products for a myriad of applications. Among their impressive lineup, the FOX 500 DVI RX and FOX 500 DVI TX stand out as robust solutions for extending digital video signals in professional environments.

The FOX 500 DVI TX (transmitter) and FOX 500 DVI RX (receiver) are designed specifically to transmit DVI signals over long distances using fiber optic cabling. This capability allows users to maintain high-resolution video quality without the degradation associated with traditional copper cables. The use of fiber optic technology makes these devices ideal for installations where cable runs may exceed the limitations of standard DVI connections.

One of the key features of the FOX 500 DVI series is their support for DVI-D signals, which means they can transmit uncompressed video up to 1920x1200 resolution at 60 Hz. This is especially critical in environments where high-definition video quality is a requirement, such as in control rooms, auditoriums, and large conference spaces.

Another significant technology employed in the FOX 500 series is the capability for scaling and signal adjustment. These units can auto-detect the resolution of the incoming signal and ensure that the output is delivered seamlessly to the display. Additionally, the inclusion of Extron’s advanced circuitry allows for rapid signal lock, minimizing delays and maintaining a stable connection during use.

In terms of performance, the FOX 500 DVI TX and RX are equipped with features such as equalization and signal regeneration, which help to compensate for any potential signal loss that can occur over long distances. With a maximum extension distance of 500 meters for standard applications, they cater to a wide range of installation scenarios.

The design of these devices is also user-friendly; they feature streamlined form factors that can easily be integrated into existing systems. Furthermore, they are equipped with LED indicators that provide at-a-glance status of power and signal integrity.

In summary, the Extron FOX 500 DVI RX and TX provide a reliable and high-quality solution for extending DVI signals over fiber optic cables. With features such as high-resolution support, signal adjustment capabilities, and user-friendly design, these devices are well-suited for professional audio-visual installations, ensuring that users can achieve impeccable video quality even in the most demanding environments.
