Featur

About this Guide

This guide contains information about the Extron FOXBOX family of fiber optic products. The

FOXBOX family supports long distance transmission of VGA, YUV, and DVI video and analog

audio signals (see figure 1 on the next page).

About the FOXBOX Tx/Rx Transmitters and Receivers

The FOXBOX family consists of the following ultra-high performance fiber optic transmitters

and receivers:

• FOXBOX Tx VGA transmitter — Accepts an analog RGB video input, an audio input,

and an RS-232 serial input and outputs a proprietary optical signal on an LC connector

to a FOXBOX or FOX 500 receiver. It also can receive a proprietary optical signal from

the receiver consisting of the RS-232 return from a controlled device.

• FOXBOX Tx VGA/YUV transmitter — Similar to the FOXBOX Tx VGA, but with the

ability to support bi-level and tri-level YUV formats such as the 480p, 576p, 720p,

1080i, and 1080p HDTV rates. It can also accept RGBHV video.

• FOXBOX Rx VGA receiver — Accepts a proprietary optical signal on an LC connector

from a FOXBOX (except FOXBOX Tx DVI Plus) or FOX 500 transmitter or daisy-chained

receiver and outputs analog RGB or component video, audio, and RS-232 serial

commands. It also can either:

• Receive an RS-232 return from a controlled device and send it to the transmitter via

a proprietary optical signal.

• Output a daisy-chained signal to another receiver.

Figure 1. Typical FOXBOX Tx/Rx Application

• FOXBOX Tx DVI Plus transmitter — Accepts a single link of DVI video input (up

to 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz), an audio input, and an RS-232 serial input and outputs a

proprietary optical signal on an LC connector to a FOXBOX Rx DVI Plus receiver only. It

also can receive a proprietary optical signal from the receiver consisting of the RS-232

return from a controlled device.

• FOXBOX Rx DVI Plus receiver — Accepts a proprietary optical signal on an LC

connector from a FOXBOX or FOX 500 transmitter or daisy-chained receiver and

outputs a single link of DVI video, audio, and RS-232 serial commands. It also can

either:

• Receive an RS-232 return from a controlled device and send it to the transmitter via

a proprietary optical signal.

• Output a daisy-chained signal to another receiver.

• FOXBOX Tx DVI (non-Plus) transmitter — Similar to the FOXBOX TX DVI Plus,

but with a lower maximum resolution (1600 x 1200 or 1080p @ 60 Hz) and a different

proprietary output that is compatible with all FOXBOX or FOX 500 receivers.

•

FOXBOX Rx DVI (non-Plus) r

eceiver — Similar to FOXBOX RX DVI Plus, but with

lower maximum resolution (1600 x 1200 or 1080p @ 60 Hz) and receiving a different

proprietary input. This receiver is discontinued, but included in this list for reference only.

NOTES:

• In this manual, the term "FOXBOX" refers to either an analog RGB, YUV, or DVI

video unit. Where differences exist between the VGA and DVI models, the full

name of the unit is used.

• In this manual, the term "FOXBOX DVI" refers to either the Plus or non-Plus DVI

units unless a unit is speciﬁcally identiﬁed.

FOXBOX Tx / Rx • Introduction 3

General System Operation

The FOXBOX Tx VGA transmitter inputs VGA-UXGA RGB video.

The FOXBOX Tx VGA/YUV transmitter inputs YUV video or VGA-UXGA RGB video.

The FOXBOX Tx DVI and FOXBOX Tx DVI Plus transmitters input a single link of DVI video.

All four transmitters input audio and one-way (transmitter-to-receiver) RS-232 serial

communication (for applications such as projector control). The transmitters convert

all of their inputs into a proprietary signal and output the signal on a single fiber optic

cable to the receiver. An optional return (receiver-to-transmitter) stream of serial RS-

232 communications, such as projector responses, requires a second fiber optic cable.

Rather than return RS-232 communications, the receivers can be configured to output a

daisy-chained primary fiber optic signal to another receiver.

The FOXBOX Rx VGA receiver outputs VGA-UXGA RGB or YUV video.

The FOXBOX Rx DVI and FOXBOX DVI Plus receivers output a single link of DVI video.

The receivers convert the proprietary signals back to video (either RGB, YUV, or DVI as

applicable to the model), audio, and serial RS-232 communication and output the signals

locally. If either RS-232 return or daisy-chained communications are implemented (a second

fiber optic cable is installed), the receiver outputs a proprietary signal on the second fiber

optic cable. For video resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 or 1920 x 1200, the video output of

the receiver is a perfect, pixel-for-pixel recreation of the video signal input to the transmitter.

The FOXBOX VGA transmitter can handle an RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, or RsGsBs input

signal. The FOXBOX VGA receiver can output RGBHV or RGsB video, as selected by the

user, when the input is RGB. The FOXBOX VGA receiver can output YUV video when the

input is YUV video to a FOXBOX VGA/YUV transmitter only.

NOTE: When YUV video is input to a FOXBOX Tx VGA/YUV, the output of the receiver is

YUV video only. Neither unit can convert the video into the RGB format.

The transmitter and receiver have image and audio adjustments available under RS-232

control. Both units have image, audio, and fiber light status and lost-light alarm indicators.

The receivers have built-in alternating pixels, color bars, and grayscale test patterns to assist

in setting up the display equipment.

FOXBOX Tx / Rx • Introduction 4

System Compatibility

The FOXBOX Tx DVI Plus transmitter fiber optic output signal can be received only by a

FOXBOX Rx DVI Plus receiver.

All fiber optic signals from all other units are interchangeably compatible between VGA and

DVI units, Plus and non-Plus units, and PowerCage Fox and FOX 500 units as shown in the

following table.

NOTES:

•

If you connect only one ﬁber optic cable (

item

, on the next page), or you

conﬁgure the receiver for daisy-chaining, you will not receive reports from

the controlled device. To receive responses from the controlled device, you

must install two ﬁber optic cables and leave the FOXBOX receiver in normal

conﬁguration (Mode DIP switch 1 down on the receiver).

•

The FOXBOX can pass RS-232 commands and r

FOXBOX Tx / Rx • Installation and Operation 10

Optical port and LEDs (see figure 2 on page 8) —

WARNING: The FOXBOX Tx/Rx outputs continuous invisible light (Class 1 rated),

which may be harmful to the eyes; use with caution. Plug the supplied dust cap

into the optical transceiver when the ﬁber optic cable is unplugged.

AVERTISSEMENT :

Le FOXBOX Tx/Rx émet une lumièr

e invisible en continu

(conforme à la classe1) qui peut être dangereux pour les yeux, à utiliser avec

précaution Branchez la protection contre la poussière dans l’ensemble émetteur/

récepteur lorsque le câble ﬁbre optique est débranché.

NOTES:

•

Ensur

e that you use the proper ﬁber cable for your transmitter/receiver pair.

Typically, singlemode ﬁber has a yellow jacket and multimode cable has an

orange or aqua jacket.

•

Only one ﬁber optic cable, transmitter Tx to r

eceiver Rx, is required for video,

audio, and serial command transmission. But, if you connect only one ﬁber

optic cable, or if your transmitter is conﬁgured to daisy-chain the optical signal,

system functionality is reduced. You will not receive RS-232 reports from the

controlled device, and some FOX Extenders Control Program functions and

RS-232 commands will not work. To receive responses from the controlled

device and for full functionality, you need to install both ﬁber optic cables and

leave the FOXBOX receiver in normal conﬁguration (Mode DIP switch 1 down

on the receiver).

Tx (required) — For all one-way video, audio, and serial

communications from the transmitter to the receiver, connect a

fiber optic cable to the Tx LC connector.

Connect the free end of this fiber optic cable to the Rx connector

on the FOXBOX Rx receiver (item

on figure 12) or to any other

compatible Extron FOX device.

Rx (optional) — Connect a fiber optic cable for all one-way return

serial communications from the receiver to the transmitter.

Connect the free end of this fiber optic cable to the Tx connector

on a FOXBOX Rx receiver in normal configuration (item

figure 12) or to any other compatible Extron FOX device.

Tx Link and Rx Link LEDs — When lit, the link is active (light is

received).

Configuration port (see figure 2) — Connect a controlling device, such as a PC,

to this port via a 2.5 mm mini jack TRS RS-232 cable for RS-232 protocol control of

all FOXBOX functions. See Front panel Configuration ports on page 17 for more

details on the adapter cable and Remote Control on page 20 for SIS commands and

software control.

The TRS RS-232 cable is included with the Tx models.

DC power connector (see figure 2) — Plug the included external 12 VDC power

supply into this connector (see Power supply wiring on page 18, to wire the

connector.
