Step 1
Turn off all equipment or disconnect it from power sources. Mount
the transmitter and receiver as required.
Step 2
Connect a low resolution video source to the
transmitter using the BNC connections for
composite or component sources. S-video
can be connected using either the BNC
connectors or the 4-pin mini DIN. (See the
gure at right and page 2-11).
Step 3
Connect balanced or unbalanced, stereo
or mono audio input to the transmitter
using the 5 pole, 3.5 mm captive screw
connector. (See the gure at right and
page 2-12).
Step 4
If required, connect an alarm system to
the transmitter's 2 pole captive screw
connector. (See page 2-13).
Step 5
Connect the ber optic cables to the port on the rear of the
transmitter (see the gure at right and page 2-14). Link 1
is essential for video, audio, and RS-232 signals. Link 2 is
required when using RS-232 commands for complete system
conguration.
Step 6
To congure the transmitter and receiver using RS-232 commands,
connect the control device to the three right poles ( ,Tx, and Rx),
labeled RS-232 Remote, on the RS-232 captive screw connector of
the transmitter (see the gure at right and page
3-3). Alternatively, the host device can be connected
through the front panel Cong port (see page 3-2) or
the corresponding ports on the receiver (see step 13).
These ports may also be used to congure the system
with the FOX Extender Windows Control Program.
Step 7

Introduction
About this Manual
This manual contains information about the FOX 2G Tx/Rx AV
family of signal transmitters and receivers, with information on
how to mount, install and operate these units.
In this manual, unless otherwise specied, the term
FOX 2G Tx/Rx AV refers to the features or operation of all four
units. The term transmitter refers to both the multi-mode (MM)
and single mode (SM) transmitters and the receiver refers to
both the MM and SM receivers.
About the FOX 2G Tx/Rx AV
The FOX 2G Tx AV and FOX 2G Rx AV are a high performance,
low resolution video, audio, and data (RS-232) transmitter (Tx)
and receiver (Rx) pairs. Signals are transmitted over ber optic
cable at rates up to 2 Gbps.
There are four different units:
FOX 2G Tx AV MM•
FOX 2G Tx AV SM•
FOX 2G Rx AV MM•
FOX 2G Rx AV SM•
The MM models have 850 nm multimode small form-factor
pluggable (SFP) modules and carry signals up to 500 m (1640').
The SM models have 1310 nm single mode SFP modules
and carry signals up to 30 km (18 miles). The transmitter is
connected to the receiver using the appropriate ber optic cable
(SM or MM).
N
The transmitter and receiver must be compatible. Both
must be MM or both must be SM. It is not possible to
mix types.
1-2
W
These low resolution FOX 2G video units are not compatible
with the Extron FOX 500 RGB series, the FOX 500 DVI, the
FOX 500 DA6, or the FOX HD-SDI products. However, they are
compatible with the Extron Fiber Matrix units.
The FOX 2G Tx/Rx AV outputs continuous
invisible light (Class 1 rated), which may be
harmful and dangerous to the eyes; use with
caution.
Do not look into the rear panel fiber optic cable
connectors or into the fiber optic cables themselves.
Plug the attached dust caps into the optical
transceivers when the fiber optic cable is unplugged.
FOX 2G Tx/Rx AV • Introduction
FOX 2G Tx/Rx AV Features
Digitized signal transmission — Ensures perfect image quality.
The non-linearity of the ber components does not affect signal
quality. Light can be distributed and repeated without signal
degradation or compression.
Long distance transmission — Signals may be transmitted up to
500 m (1,640 feet) over multi-mode (MM) ber or up to 30 km
(18 miles) over single mode (SM) ber.
Daisy chain capability — The system can be expanded to
provide output for up to ten display devices.
Integration friendly — A variety of connectors permits input
and output of composite, S-video, or component video signals.
Compatibility with the Extron Fiber Matrix allows the units to
be integrated into more complex A/V systems.
Transmits multiple signal types — Video, audio and data
signals can all be transmitted simultaneously over one ber. The
units transmit composite, S-Video, or component video signals
and are compatible with NTSC, PAL, and SECAM standards.
All digital, zero compression technology — The FOX 2G AV
delivers uncompressed pixel-for-pixel transmission of video
signals to ensure optimal image quality.
Auto Input Format Detection — The FOX 2G AV transmitter
can be set to detect the incoming video signal format,
automatically reconguring itself to transmit the signal. This
feature can reduce the number of required outputs for a matrix
switcher, lowering system cost while improving manageability.
Encoding and decoding — The FOX 2G Tx AV converts
incoming signals to a proprietary format that is passed along
the ber optic cable to the FOX 2G Rx AV. At the other end of
the cable, the receiver converts the signal to the low resolution
format that matches the needs of the display device.
Output Video Formatting — The user can set the output video
signal format (composite, S-Video, or component) or follow the
format of the source device (video follow).
Picture and audio adjustments — Available picture adjustments
include color, tint, contrast, and brightness. Audio adjustments
include input gain and attenuation, and output level. Both
audio and video can be muted.
Troubleshooting features — A variety of LED signals and
indicators allow easy diagnosis of problems.
Easy configuration — The units can be congured using
Extron's Special Instruction Set (SIS™) or the FOX Extender
Windows Control Program.

Rack Mounting
UL guidelines for rack mounting
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines are
relevant to the safe installation of the FOX 2G Tx/Rx AV in a
rack:
1. Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the unit
is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the
operating ambient temperature of the rack environment
may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore,
install the equipment in an environment compatible with
the maximum ambient temperature (Tma: +122 °F, +50 ° C)
specied by Extron.
2. Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in the rack
so that the equipment gets adequate air ow for safe
operation.
3. Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack
so that uneven mechanical loading does not create a
hazardous condition.
4. Circuit overloading — Connect the equipment to
the supply circuit and consider the effect that circuit
overloading might have on overcurrent protection and
supply wiring. Give appropriate consideration to the
equipment nameplate ratings when addressing this
concern.
5. Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable
grounding of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular
attention to supply connections other than direct
connections to the branch circuit (such as the use of power
strips).
