user guide, installation instructions, and

specifications before connecting the

product to the power source.

This guide provides quick start instructions for an experienced installer to set up and operate the Extron FOX II T/R DP 4K ber optic
extenders.

WARNING: These units output continuous invisible light, which may be harmful to the eyes; use with caution. For additional

safety, plug the attached dust caps into the optical transceivers when the fiber optic cable is unplugged.

CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT, see the FOX II T/R DP 4K User Guide, at www.extron.com.

AVERTISSEMENT : Le FOX II T/R DP 4K émet une lumière invisible en continu (conforme à la classe1) qui peut être dangereux

pour les yeux, à utiliser avec précaution. Branchez les protections contre la poussière dans l’ensemble émetteur/récepteur lorsque
le câble fibre optique est débranché.

Installation

Step 1 — Mounting

Turn off or disconnect all equipment power
sources and mount the transmitter as required.
For mounting details and considerations, see the

FOX II T/R DP 4K User Guide at

Step 2 — Input and Output Connections

a. Connect a DisplayPort

video source to the
transmitter DisplayPort input connector.

b. If desired, connect a DisplayPort video display

to the transmitter Loop-Thru connector for a

c. Connect a DisplayPort video display to the receiver DisplayPort output connector.

d. Connect an audio input device to either the Audio 3.5 mm mini jack or the Audio 5-pole captive screw connector

on the transmitter. See the drawing below step 2g to make connections on the captive screw connector.

e. Connect an audio output device to either or both the 3.5 mm mini jack or the Audio 5-pole captive screw connector

on the receiver. See the drawing below step 2g to make connections on the captive screw connector.

f. For optional returned audio, connect an audio output device to the Audio Return Out 5-pole captive screw

connector on the transmitter. See the drawing below step 2g to make connections on the captive screw
connector.

g. For optional returned audio, connect an audio input device to the Audio Return In 5-pole captive screw

connector on the receiver. See the drawing below to make connections on the
captive screw connector.

ATTENTION:

• For unbalanced audio, connect the sleeves to the ground

contact. DO NOT connect the sleeves to the negative (-)
contacts.

• Pour l’audio asymétrique, connectez les manchons

NOTE: See the two fiber cable connection drawings below. You can connect the transmitter to a compatible

receiver in one of two ways:

• One way (transmitter to receiver) only, perform step 3a.

• Two way (transmitter to receiver and return), perform steps 3a and 3b.

Operation

After all receivers, the transmitter, and their connected devices are powered up, the system is fully operational. If any problems are
encountered, verify that the cables are routed and connected properly and that all display devices have identical resolutions and refresh
rates. If problems persist, call the Extron S3 Sales & Technical Support Hotline at the number that is closest to you. See the contact

numbers on the

, at right).

NOTE: Ensure that the transmitter and connected receiver are the same transmission mode,

singlemode (SM) or multimode (MM) and that you use the correct SM or MM fiber cable to connect the
devices

to the transmitter, connect a cable between the Tx port on the receiver and Rx port on the transmitter (

Video LEDs —

Signal LED — Lights when the unit detects an input video signal.

HDCP LED — Lights when the input signal is HDCP encrypted.

SIGNAL

HDCP

Audio LEDs —

Input LED (transmitter) — Lights when an analog audio or PCM digital

audio signal remains above -35 dBV. The LED goes unlit if the audio
signal level drops below the threshold for 10 seconds or longer.

Output LED (receiver) — Lights when an analog audio or PCM digital audio signal remains above -35 dBV. The LED goes unlit if the
audio signal level drops below the threshold for 10 seconds or longer.

Return Out LED (transmitter) — Lights when analog audio is present on the transmitter Return Audio Output connector.

Return In LED (receiver) — Lights when analog audio is present on the receiver Return Audio Input connector.

EDID

EDID Minder switch — Set this switch to one of the positions at right to select the source of the DDC or a specic resolution.

Position 0 — An EDID that has previously been captured from a connected display or manually imported via an SIS

command or the Product Conguration Software.

Position 1 — The EDID is selected via the
Remote or USB port, using an SIS command or
the Extron Product Conguration Software.

Position
2 — Use the EDID from the display connected to

the receiver.

NOTE: EDID from the display connected

to the receiver requires connection of both
fiber cables.
