About the FOX HD-SDI
The Extron FOX HD-SDI product family consists of two models
(MM and SM) 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.
N
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
N
Bidirectional transceiver
N
N
A FOX HD-SDI that is configured as a bidirectional transceiver
(figure 1-2) 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 HD-SDI
that is configured as a bidirectional transceiver or as a receiver.
All transceivers in the system must be the same model (all
singlemode or all multimode).
See item b, "Mode switches", on page 2-11 to set the
configuration.
In this manual, the term "transceiver" refers to any FOX
HD-SDI; the term "bidirectional transceiver" refers to a
FOX HD-SDI configured as described in this section.
Although the description below does allow connection of
a FOX HD-SDI configured as transmitter or receiver,
the typical configuration is as shown: two bidirectional
transceivers.

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 to back to the original format digital video, and output
the video on its own two Buffered Outputs BNC connectors.
Transmitter and receiver
N
Although the description below does allow connection of a
FOX HD-SDI configured as a bidirectional transceiver, the
typical configuration is as shown: a transmitter and one or
more receivers.
A FOX HD-SDI that is configured as a transmitter (figure 1-3)
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 HD-SDI that is configured as
a receiver or as a bidirectional transceiver. The transmitter also
simultaneously outputs the digital video on its two Buffered
Outputs BNCs.
Figure 1-3 — Transmitter-to-receiver connections
A FOX 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 Rx port over a fiber link to another
FOX HD-SDI that is configured as a receiver or as a bidirectional
transceiver.
N
Up to 10 receivers can be daisy-chained in this manner.
Features
Extends HD-SDI, SDI, and 3G-SDI signals very long distances
over a single fiber — The FOX HD-SDI supports multi-
rate SDI at rates up to 2.97 Gbps, and complies with
SMPTE 259M-C, 292M, 424M, and ITU digital video
standards.
Video input — When it is configured as a transmitter, the
FOX HD-SDI inputs digital 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.
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 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 HD-SDI automatically equalizes incoming multirate SDI signals, and reshapes and restores signals on its
buffered outputs.
Daisy chain capability — Up to 10 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

Affix the four included rubber feet to the bottom of the unit and
place it in any convenient location.
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirements
pertain to the installation of the FOX HD-SDI transmitter or
receiver into a rack (figure 2-1).
1. Elevated operating ambient temperature — 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.
2. 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.
3. Mechanical loading — Mounting of the equipment in
the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not
achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
4. Circuit 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.
5. Reliable earthing (grounding) — 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).
Mounting instructions
For optional rack mounting, mount the transceiver on any of the
following rack shelves:
Figure 2-1 — Mounting the transceiver on a
VersaTools rack shelf
On the non-VersaTools rack shelves, the transceiver unit can be

fiber optic cable to the Optical Tx LC connector.
Connect the free end of this fiber optic cable
to the Optical Rx connector on another
FOX HD-SDI transceiver that is configured as a
bidirectional transceiver or as a receiver.
This unit outputs continuous invisible light, which
may be harmful and dangerous 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.
Ensure that you use the proper fiber cable for
your transceivers. Typically, singlemode fiber
cable has a yellow jacket and multimode fiber
cable has an orange jacket. Also, see "Fiber
Compatibility Indications" on page 2-14 to
determine the transceiver's compatibility.

If the FOX HD-SDI is configured as a bidirectional transceiver,
the video is output on both connectors 1 and 2 and is the video
signal sent from the other transceiver.
If the FOX HD-SDI is configured as a receiver, the video
is output on connector 2 only and is the video sent by the
transmitting unit.
If the FOX HD-SDI is configured as a transmitter, the video is
output on both connectors 1 and 2 and is looped through from
the same transceiver's HD/SDI Input connector, item a.
Power connector — Plug the included external 12 VDC
e
power supply into this 2-pole captive screw connector.
See “Power supply wiring”, on the next page, to wire the
connector.
Power supply wiring
Figure 2-10 shows how to wire the power connector.
Figure 2-10 — Power connector wiring
C
To verify the polarity before connection, plug in the power
supply with no load and check the output with a voltmeter.
W
C
Power supply voltage polarity is critical. Incorrect
voltage polarity can damage the power supply
and the FOX HD-SDI. Identify the power cord
negative lead by the ridges on the side of the cord
(figure 2-10).
The two power cord wires must be kept separate
while the power supply is plugged in. Remove
power before wiring.
The length of the exposed (stripped) copper wires
is important. The ideal length is 3/16" (5 mm).
Longer bare wires can short together. Shorter wires
are not as secure in the connectors and could be
pulled out.
N
Use the supplied tie-wrap to strap the power cord to the
extended tail of the connector.
Alternatively, an optional Extron PS 123 Universal 12 VDC
Power Supply, part #60-814-01, can power multiple Extron
12 VDC devices using only one AC power connector.
Do not tin the power supply leads before installing them
in the connector. Tinned wires are not as secure in the
connectors and could be pulled out.

Figure 2-13 — FOX HD-SDI's transceiver’s indicators
Power indicator —When lit, this light emitting diode (LED)
a
indicates that the FOX HD-SDI transceiver is receiving power.
Rate indicators — These LEDs light to indicate the detected
b
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 HD-SDI
does not recognize the rate.
N
All four Rate LEDs blink repeatedly if a fiber optic
connector module on the rear of the unit is unseated.
System operation
After the transmitting and receiving units and all of their
connected devices are powered up, the system is fully
operational. If any problems are encountered, ensure all
traditional and fiber cables are routed and connected properly.
N
The FOX HD-SDI equalizes and distributes the input
whether it recognizes 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.
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 jacket.
All transceivers in the system must be the same model (all
singlemode or all multimode). Mixed transmission mode
units will not work together.
