About this Manual

This manual contains information about the two models of
Extron FOX 4G DA8 ber optic distribution ampliers (DAs).
The DA is available in two transmission modes, which dene
the transmission range of the DA:

• FOX 4G DA8 MM — A 1-input, 8-output multimode DA,

with a range of up to 150 m (492') on the input and each
output

• FOX 4G DA8 SM — A 1-input, 8-output singlemode DA,

with a very long range of up to 30 km (18.75 miles) on the
input and each output

N

The multimode and singlemode DAs are physically

and functionally identical, with the exception of the
effective range of transmission. In this manual, the terms
"FOX 4G DA8" and "FOX DA" refer to a DA of either
transmission mode.

N

Many products are compatible with the Extron FOX DA.

They will be identified where appropriate, but not
specifically described in this manual.

About the FOX 4G DA8

The Extron FOX 4G DA8 (gure 1-1) product family consists of
two models of ultra-high performance ber optic distribution
ampliers.

The FOX DA accepts a proprietary input optical signal from
a compatible Extron ber optic transmitter (Tx). The optical
signal can include video, audio, and one-way (transmitter-to­receiver [Rx]) RS-232 communications.

FOX 4G DA8 • Introduction

Figure 1-1 — Typical FOX 4G DA8 application

N

Compatible optical signals are digital signals from

2.0 Mbps through 4.25 Gbps that are sent and received
via fiber optic SFP modules. The FOX DA supports all
compatible optical signals, whether transmitted or received
by an Extron fiber optic system component or not.

N

The video component of the signal from an Extron Tx can

be either VGA - UXGA RGB video, digital visual interface
(DVI) video, or SDI/HD-SDI video.

The serial component of the signal is for applications such
as projector control and transmitter control of the receiver.

The FOX DA actively splits the proprietary signal into eight
identical optical signals and outputs the signals on ber optic
cables to compatible receivers.

N
N

The eight optical outputs are identical.

The FOX 4G DA8 does not support transmission of a

return (Rx-to-Tx) serial data stream.

N

The switcher can receive and send the proprietary signal

from and to any compatible Extron fiber optic transmitter,
receiver, or switcher. See appendix A, "Reference
Information" for a list of compatible products.

FOX 4G DA8 • Introduction

1-31-2

Introduction, cont’d

Features

The connected receiver(s) convert the proprietary signal(s)
back to video (RGB, DVI, or SDI/HD-SDI, depending on the
source transmitter and the receiver), audio, and serial RS-232
communication, and output the signals locally. For video
resolutions up to 1600 x 1200, the receivers' video outputs are a
perfect, pixel-for-pixel or digital recreation of the video signal
input to the FOX DA via a transmitter.

Ultra high performance — Outputs up to eight perfect,

pixel-by-pixel RGBHV or digital video transmissions to
compatible receiver(s). The FOX DA can handle analog
video resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 at 60 Hz. Higher
resolutions can be transmitted, but with some loss of
video quality.

Optical input and outputs — The FOX DA inputs and outputs

the optical signal on LC video connectors.

Active and individually isolated outputs — The FOX 4G DA8

uses active signal splitting to maintain equal transmitter
power to all outputs, maximizing distance capabilities by
ensuring full availability of optical loss budget for each
output.

System video output — When the optical input is from a

FOX 500 or FOXBOX 4G Tx (rather than a FOX HD-SDI),
the video portion of the optical video output can be
decoded to either RGB video or DVI video, depending on
the receiver connected.

Rack mounting — The unit is rack mountable in any

conventional 19" wide rack, using Extron's full size rack
shelf.

Power — The 100 VAC to 240 VAC, internal power supply

provides worldwide power compatibility.

Simple Instruction Set™ Control

Host-to-interface communications

The Extron Simple Instruction Set (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.

Start-up message

When a local event, such as a front panel operation or error
condition, occurs, the unit responds by sending a message to the
host. The unit-initiated messages are listed below:

(c) COPYRIGHT 2009, EXTRON ELECTRONICS FOX 4G DA8,
Vx.xx, 60-927-xx]]
The FOX DA issues the copyright message when it first powers

on. Vx.xx is the firmware version number, 60-927-xx is the part
number.

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]
E12 - Invalid output number]
E13 - Invalid range]

Timeout

Pauses of 10 seconds or longer between command ASCII
characters result in a timeout. The command operation is
aborted with no other indication.

Using the command/response table

The command/response table begins on page 3-6. Lower case

letters are acceptable in the command field. Symbols are used

throughout the table to represent variables in the command/
response fields. Command and response examples are shown
throughout the table. The ASCII to HEX conversion table below
is for use with the command/response table.

Symbol definitions

Symbols (variables), defined below, are used in the
command/response table on page 3-6. The symbols represent
variables in the unit-initiated messages and the command/
response table fields.
