Figure 1. Typical FOX 3G HD-SDI Application
NOTE: The three products are physically and functionally identical, with the exception
of the effective range of transmission and the compliance. In this manual, the term
“FOX 3G HD-SDI” refers to any of the products.
About the FOX 3G HD-SDI
The Extron FOX 3G HD-SDI product family consists of three models (P SM, SM, and MM)
of high performance digital (HD-SDI, SDI, or 3G-SDI) video fiber optic transceivers. The
transmitted signal can include any audio or unidirectional serial data that is embedded in the
input video.
NOTE: All transceivers in the system must be the same model (all singlemode, all
singlemode pathologically compliant, or all multimode).
Transceiver Configurations
The transceiver can be configured via its rear panel Mode DIP switches to operate in one of
three ways:
• Bidirectional transceiver
• Transmitter
• Receiver
NOTE: See item
B
, “Mode switches,” on page 7 to set the configuration.
FOX 3G HD-SDI • Introduction 3
Bidirectional transceiver
NOTES:
• In this manual, the term “transceiver” refers to any FOX 3G HD-SDI; the term
“bidirectional transceiver” refers to a FOX 3G HD-SDI configured as described in
this section.
• Although the description below does allow connection of a FOX 3G HD-SDI
configured as transmitter or receiver, the typical configuration is as shown: two
bidirectional transceivers.
A FOX 3G HD-SDI that is configured as a bidirectional transceiver (see figure 2) inputs
digital video on its SDI/HD-SDI Input BNC. The transceiver converts the video input to a
proprietary signal and transmits the video over a fiber link to another FOX 3G HD-SDI that is
configured as either a bidirectional transceiver or a receiver.

A bidirectional transceiver can also simultaneously receive a proprietary signal from another
transceiver (in any configuration) on its Optical Rx port, convert the proprietary signal back
to the original format digital video, and output the video on its own two Buffered Outputs
BNC connectors.

Transmitter and receiver
NOTE: Although the description below does allow connection of a FOX 3G HD-SDI
configured as a bidirectional transceiver, the typical configuration is as shown: a
transmitter and one or more receivers.
A FOX 3G HD-SDI that is configured as a transmitter (see figure 3) inputs digital video
on its HD/SDI Input BNC. The transmitter converts the video input to a proprietary signal
and transmits the video over a fiber link to a FOX 3G HD-SDI that is configured as either a
receiver or a bidirectional transceiver. The transmitter also simultaneously outputs the digital

Figure 3. Transmitter-to-Receiver Connections
A FOX 3G HD-SDI that is configured as a receiver receives a proprietary signal on its
Rx fiber optic port. The receiver converts the proprietary signal back to original HD-SDI,
SDI, or 3G-SDI video and outputs the video on only one of its own Buffered Output BNC
connectors, Output 2.
The receiver converts the second digital video signal that it created from the optical input
back into a proprietary signal and outputs it on the Optical Tx port over a fiber link to
another FOX 3G HD-SDI that is configured as a receiver or as a bidirectional transceiver.
NOTE: Up to 10 receivers can be daisy-chained in this manner.
Features
• Fiber optic characteristics — The FOX 3G HD-SDI sends and receives digital
optical signals via fiber optic small form factor pluggable (SFP) modules with LC-type
connectors.

video on a BNC connector.
• HD-SDI loop-through — The transceiver has two Buffered SDI/HD-SDI BNC
connectors that allows connection of a local monitor when the transceiver is configured
as a transmitter.
FOX 3G HD-SDI • Introduction 5
• Video output — The transceiver outputs digital video on one or two Buffered
SDI/HD-SDI BNC connectors when it is configured as a bidirectional transceiver or a
receiver.
• Dual buffered outputs — When the FOX 3G HD-SDI is configured as a transmitter,
the SDI/HD-SDI BNC output connectors can be used for previewing the video on a
local monitor.
• Input equalization and reclocking on buffered outputs — The FOX 3G HD-SDI
automatically equalizes incoming multi-rate SDI signals, and reshapes and restores
signals on its buffered outputs.
• Daisy chain capability — Up to 3 transceivers can be daisy chained to send the video
to multiple locations when one of more units are configured as receivers.
• Real-time status LED indicators for troubleshooting and monitoring
• 1-inch high, quarter rack width, metal enclosures — With low profile enclosures,
the transceiver can be discreetly installed in various locations, such as behind a plasma
or LCD flat-panel display.
• Rack mountable — The unit is rack mountable in any conventional 19-inch wide rack,

Figure 6. FOX 3G HD-SDI transceiver indicators
A
HD-SDI Input connector — When lit, this light emitting diode (LED) indicates that the
FOX 3G HD-SDI transceiver is receiving power.
B
Mode switches — These LEDs light to indicate the detected input video rate, either
on the HD/SDI input BNC (if configured as a transmitter) or on the Optical Rx connector
(if configured as a receiver or bidirectional transceiver). The recognized rates are
270 Mbps, 1.485 Gbps, or 2.97 Gbps.
When the Rate Unknown LED lights, this indicates that an input is detected, either on
the HD/SDI input BNC (if configured as a transmitter) or on the Optical Rx connector
(if configured as a receiver or bidirectional transceiver), but that the FOX 3G HD-SDI
does not recognize the rate.
NOTES:
• All four Rate LEDs blink repeatedly if a fiber optic connector module on the
rear of the unit is unseated.
•
The FOX 3G HD-SDI equalizes and distributes the input whether it r
ecognizes
the rate or not.
Fiber Compatibility Indications
You must use the proper fiber cable for your transceivers. Each transceiver indicates its fiber
compatibility, singlemode or multimode, at power-up by blinking the four Rate indicators.
Multimode — The Rate LEDs blink once.
Singlemode — The Rate LEDs blink twice.
NOTES:
• To determine the fiber cable type, observe the cable jacket. Typically, singlemode
fiber cable has a yellow jacket and multimode fiber cable has an orange or aqua
jacket.
• All transceivers in the system must be the same model (all singlemode or all
multimode). Mixed transmission mode units will not work together.

Mounting Kit
Mount the unit using any compatible rack, furniture, or projector mounting kit, listed on the
Extron website (www.extron.com), in accordance with the directions included with the kit.
For rack shelf mounting, also see “UL Rack-Mounting Guidelines.”.
UL Rack-Mounting Guidelines
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the installation of the
FOX 3G HD-SDI into a rack.
• Elevated operating ambient — If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly,
the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room
ambient. Therefore, consider installing the equipment in an environment compatible with
the +122 °F (+50 °C) maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by Extron.
•
Reduced air flow
— Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the
amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
•
Mechanical loading
— Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a
hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
•
Cir
cuit overloading — Consideration should be given to the connection of the
equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have
on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment
nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
•
Reliable earthing (gr
ounding) — Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment
should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other
than direct connections to the branch circuit (such as the use of power strips).
