FOX 3G HD-SDI • Introduction 1

NOTE: The three products are physically and functionally identical, with the

exception of the effective range of transmission and the compliance. In this manual, the term “FOX 3G HD-SDI” refers to any of the products.

About the FOX 3G HD-SDI

The Extron FOX 3G HD-SDI product family consists of three models (P SM, SM, and MM)

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.

NOTE: All transceivers in the system must be the same model (all singlemode, all

singlemode pathologically compliant, or all multimode).

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

NOTE: See item b, “Mode switches,” on page 6 to set the conﬁguration.

Bidirectional transceiver

NOTES: • In this manual, the term “transceiver” refers to any FOX 3G HD-SDI; the term

“bidirectional transceiver” refers to a FOX 3G HD-SDI conﬁgured as described in this section.

• Although the description below does allow connection of a FOX 3G HD-SDI

conﬁgured as transmitter or receiver, the typical conﬁguration is as shown: two bidirectional transceivers.

A FOX 3G HD-SDI that is conﬁgured as a bidirectional transceiver (see ﬁgure 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 3G HD-SDI that is conﬁgured

as either a bidirectional transceiver or a receiver.

FOX 3G HD-SDI • Introduction 2

A bidirectional transceiver can also simultaneously receive a proprietary signal from another

FOX HD-SDI(s)

transceiver (in any conﬁguration) on its Optical Rx port, convert the proprietary signal back to the original format digital video, and output the video on its own two Buffered Outputs BNC connectors.

Transmitter and receiver

NOTE: Although the description below does allow connection of a FOX 3G HD-SDI

conﬁgured as a bidirectional transceiver, the typical conﬁguration is as shown: a transmitter and one or more receivers.

A FOX 3G HD-SDI that is conﬁgured as a transmitter (see ﬁgure 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 3G HD-SDI that is conﬁgured as either a receiver or a bidirectional transceiver. The transmitter also simultaneously outputs the digital video on its two Buffered Outputs BNCs.

Figure 3. Transmitter-to-Receiver Connections

A FOX 3G 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 Tx port over a ﬁber link to another FOX 3G HD-SDI that is conﬁgured as a receiver or as a bidirectional transceiver.

NOTE: Up to 10 receivers can be daisy-chained in this manner.

FOX 3G HD-SDI • Introduction 3

Features

Fiber optic characteristics — The FOX 3G HD-SDI sends and receives digital optical signals

via ﬁber optic small form factor pluggable (SFP) modules with LC-type connectors.

Extends HD-SDI, SDI, and 3G-SDI signals very long distances over a single ﬁber — The FOX 3G 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.

(FOX 3G HD-SDI P SM only) Immunity to SDI and HD-SDI pathological signal patterns — The FOX 3G HD-SDI P SM model adds immunity to pathological signals,

including test patterns deﬁned by SMPTE RP 178 and SMPTE RP 198 for SD-SDI, HD-SDI and 3G-SDI

Video input — When it is conﬁgured as a transmitter, the FOX 3G 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 3G 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 3G HD-SDI automatically equalizes incoming multi-rate 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

1-inch high, quarter rack width, metal enclosures — With low proﬁle enclosures, the

transceiver can be discreetly installed in various locations, such as behind a plasma or LCD ﬂat-panel display.

Rack mountable — The unit is rack mountable in any conventional 19-inch wide rack, using any of a variety of Extron rack shelves.

Power — The 100 VAC to 240 VAC external power supply provides worldwide power compatibility.
