Figure 1. Typical FOXBOX SR HDMI Application

If the receiver is appropriately configured and has a second fiber optic cable installed, it also can either:

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

proprietary optical signal, or

• Output a daisy-chained signal to another receiver.

If either RS-232 return or daisy-chained communications are implemented, the receiver outputs a proprietary signal on the second fiber optic cable carrying the signal.

For video resolutions up to 1600 x 1200, 1080p, or 1920 x 1200, the video output of the receiver is a perfect, pixel-for-pixel recreation of the video signal input from the transmitter.

The single link of HDMI video output by a FOXBOX SR HDMI can be converted to DVI-D video with the appropriate adapter.

The receiver has built-in color bars, crosshatch, grayscale, alternating pixels, and crop test patterns, which are available under RS-232 Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) control, to assist in setting up the display equipment and image and audio adjustments. The receiver has image, audio, fiber light status, and lost-light alarm indicators.

FOXBOX SR HDMI • Introduction 2

System Compatibility

The FOXBOX SR HDMI receiver operates interchangeably with all HDMI, DVI, and VGA transmitters in the Extron FOXBOX, PowerCage FOX, and FOX 500 families, including Plus and non-Plus units.

NOTES: • Although the receiver can operate with non-HDMI transmitters, the video

output is not HDCP-compliant.

• The receiver is not compatible with the FOX AV, PowerCage FOX AV,

FOX 3G HD-SDI, PowerCage FOX 3G HD-SDI, and FOX 3G DVC transmitters.

Cable Transmission Modes

The receiver is further categorized by the type of fiber optic cable, multimode or singlemode, which defines the effective range of transmission:

• Multimode (MM) — Long distance, up to 2 km (6,560 feet) (depending on the fiber

cable)

• Singlemode (SM) — Very long distance, up to 30 km (18.75 miles)

NOTE: The multimode and singlemode units are physically and functionally identical,

with the exception of the effective range of transmission. In this manual, any reference applies to either transmission mode unless otherwise specified.

Features

Ultra high performance — The FOXBOX SR HDMI receives pixel-for-pixel HDMI or DVI-D (with an adapter) video transmission, up to 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz.

Video output — The receiver outputs a single link of HDMI video.

Compatible with the FOX Matrix Switchers, and FOX 500, FOXBOX, and PowerCage FOX transmitters and receivers (with the exception of the FOX DA6,

FOX 2G, and FOX 3G HDSDI products)

Analog audio output — The receiver outputs balanced or unbalanced stereo audio on a 5-pole captive screw connector and digital audio embedded in the HDMI output.

Links monitoring — The receiver panel has indicators for monitoring image and audio transmission and the fiber optic link.

Loss-of-light alarms — The receivers panel has discrete outputs that indicate if either of the fiber optic links has suffered a loss of the light signal.

NOTES: • Ensure 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-receiver-Rx, is required

for video, audio, and serial command transmission. However, if you connect only one fiber optic cable, or if your receiver is configured to daisy-chain the optical signal:

• The HDMI signal output by the receiver is not HDCP-compliant.

• You will not receive RS-232 reports from the controlled device.

To receive responses from the controlled device and for HDCP compliance, you need to install both fiber optic cables and leave link 2 enabled (via an SIS command [see page 27] to the receiver or using the Signal Processing

Product Control Program [see page 33]).

HDMI signals run at a very high frequency and are especially prone to errors caused by bad video connections, too many adapters, or excessive cable length. To avoid the loss of an image or jitter, follow these guidelines:

• Do not exceed 16.4 feet (5 meters) on the input of the transmitter or the output of the

FOXBOX SR HDMI scaling receiver.

• Use only the cable designed for HDMI signals that is supplied by Extron.

• Limit or avoid the use of adapters.

• Use only cables specifically intended for HDMI or DVI signals. Use of non-HDMI or

non-DVI cables or modified cables can result in a missing video output.

To securely fasten an HDMI cable to a device:

Plug the HDMI cable into the panel connection (see a in figure 6).

FOXBOX SR HDMI • Operation 21

Remote Control

This section describes the remote control operation of the FOXBOX SR HDMI, including:

• Simple Instruction Set Control

• Signal Processing Product Control Program

The receiver has two serial ports: the front panel Configuration port, a 2.5 mm mini stereo jack (see “Front panel Conﬁguration Port“ on page 12); and a rear panel Remote RS-232 port, a 3-pole captive screw connector (see “RS-232 connections“ on page 9). Either of these ports can be connected to a host device such as a computer running the HyperTerminal or DataViewer utility, or a control system to make serial control of the receiver possible.

The protocol for all ports is as follows:

•

9600 baud

• 1 stop bit

Simple Instruction Set Control

• no parity

• no flow contr

• 8 data bits

Host-to-Unit Instructions

SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are required to begin or end a command character sequence. When a command is valid, the unit executes the command and sends a response to the host device. All responses from the unit to the host end with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ]), which signals the end of the response character string. A string is one or more characters.

Error Responses

When the unit receives a valid SIS command, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. If the unit is unable to execute the command because the command is invalid or it contains invalid parameters, the unit returns an error response to the host. The error response codes are:

E10 – Invalid command E11 – Invalid preset number E13 – Invalid parameter E14 – Invalid command for this configuration

Using the Command and Response Table

The command and response table begins on page 25. Either uppercase or lowercase letters are acceptable in the command field except where indicated for the audio level (gain and attenuation) commands. Symbols are used throughout the table to represent variables in the command and response fields. Command and response examples are shown throughout the table.
