Figure 1-1 — Typical Fiber Matrix 6400 application
The Extron proprietary fiber optic signal, generated by FOX 500 transmitters, can include video, stereo audio, and transmitter­to-receiver RS-232 serial communication. The video component of the signal can be RGB video, Digital Visual Interface (DVI) video, SDI/HD-SDI video, or low resolution video, depending on the transmitter and receiver.
The matrix switcher can be remotely controlled via its Ethernet LAN port or either of two serial ports using either Windows­based Extron Matrix Switchers Control Program or the SIS.
The switcher has two internal, hot-swappable 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 180-watt power supplies that provide worldwide power compatibility and reliability.
N
Compatible optical signals are digital signals from
270 Mbs through 4.25 Gbps that are sent and received via fiber optic small form factor pluggable (SFP) modules. The Fiber Matrix 6400 supports all compatible optical signals, whether transmitted or received by an Extron FOX system component or not.

Configurability and transmission modes
The Fiber Matrix is assembled from individual input/output (I/O) boards. The switcher can include up to eight I/O boards, each of which supports eight inputs by eight outputs. The three types of I/O boards are:
• Singlemode fiber optic 8x8 I/O board, equipped with
• Multimode fiber optic 8x8 I/O board, equipped with
• SDI/HD-SDI 8x8 I/O board, equipped with permanent
N
By adding or removing I/O boards, you can expand and contract the Fiber Matrix from an 8-input by 8-output matrix to a 64-input by 64-output matrix.
N
The FOX 500 transmitter-to-receiver communications,
including the serial link, occupy one matrix switcher input and output.
This matrix switcher also supports the FOX 500 return (receiver-to-transmitter) serial communications, but returning this signal stream to the transmitter occupies a separate matrix switcher input and output.
removable fiber optic transceiver modules
removable fiber optic transceiver modules
BNC connectors
As listed above, two versions of the fiber optic I/O boards
are documented in this manual. They are categorized by the type of fiber optic cable, multimode or singlemode, which defines the effective range of transmission:
Singlemode —
•
(18.75 miles)
Multimode —

Selected SIS Commands

The switchers have Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands that you can use for operation and configuration. You can run these commands from a PC connected to either of the switcher’s serial ports or the Ethernet port. See c, d, and g, on pages 2-5 and 2-6, for connection information.

reappears.
Number of connections
A switcher can have up to 200 simultaneous TCP connections, including all HTTP sockets and Telnet connections. When the connection limit is reached, the switcher accepts no new connections until some have been closed. No error message or indication is given that the connection limit has been reached. To maximize performance of your switcher, the number of connections should stay low and unnecessary open sockets should be closed.
Verbose mode
Telnet connections to a switcher can be used to monitor for changes that occur on the switcher, such as front panel operations and SIS commands from other Telnet sockets or a serial port. For a Telnet session to receive change notices from the switcher, the Telnet session must be in verbose mode 3. See the Set verbose mode command on page 4-7. In verbose mode 3, the Telnet socket reports changes in messages that r
esemble SIS command responses.
Host-to-switcher instructions
The switcher accepts SIS commands through either serial port. SIS commands consist of one or more characters per command field. They do not require any special characters to begin or end the command character sequence. Each switcher response to an SIS command ends with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/ LF = A string is one or more characters.
N
), which signals the end of the response character string.
]
The table that begins on the next page is a partial list
of SIS commands. For a complete listing, refer to the
Fiber Matrix 6400 Switcher User's Manual.

Connection timeouts
The Ethernet link times out and disconnects after a designated period of no communication. By default, this timeout value is set to 5 minutes, but the value can be changed. See the Configure port timeout SIS commands on page 4-7.

Circuit boards can be replaced to accomodate SDI/HD-SDI (electric) signals. They can be added or removed to increase or decrease the I/O configuration (size) of the Fiber Matrix.
The Fiber Matrix 6400 fiber optic I/O boards output
continuous invisible light, 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.
As factory configured, the fiber optic I/O boards are
configured as either 100 percent singlemode or 100 percent multimode, but you can remove a fiber optic transceiver module (one input and one output) of one transmission mode and replace it with a block of the other transmission mode.
You can mix transmission mode transceiver modules on a fiber optic I/O board, provided that you ensure that each fiber cable and connected devices are the appropriate transmission mode for the transceiver module.
Typically, singlemode fiber has a yellow jacket and multimode cable has an orange jacket.
For proper cooling and air flow, boards and/or blank panels
should be installed in all locations during normal switcher operations.
See "A note on I/O boards", on page 2-2, to understand
the different arrangement of connectors on the various I/O boards.
Remove and replace and I/O board or blank panel as follows:
N
The I/O boards are hot-swappable. You do not need to
power down the switcher to remove an I/O board.
1. For an I/O board, disconnect any connected cables.
2. Rotate the left and right knurled knobs to completely
loosen the captive screws.
3. Gently pull on the knurled knobs/captive screws to loosen
the board or panel from the backplane.
4. Slide the board or panel out of the chassis (below).
C
Do not touch the electronic components or the
connectors on the backplane or on the circuit boards without being electrically grounded. Handle circuit boards by their edges only. Electrostatic discharge can damage circuits, even if you cannot feel, see, or hear it.

Removing and Installing a Power Supply Module

The two power supply modules (primary power supply and redundant power supply) are identical and hot-swappable. Each power supply module has a 2-color LED, visible on the rear panel, that indicates the status of the power supply outputs. If the LED is lit green, the power supply is operating normally. If the LED is lit red, the supply has failed and should be replaced at the earliest opportunity.
