About the FOXBOX SR HDMI

The FOXBOX SR HDMI is an ultra-high performance scaling fiber optic receiver that accepts a
proprietary optical signal on a single LC connector from a compatible fiber optic transmitter
or daisy-chained receiver located up to 30 km (18 miles) away.

The receiver outputs a single link of HDMI video, digital audio (embedded in the HDMI
output), analog audio, and RS-232 serial commands. The receiver can scale its video output
to one of several resolutions and rates.

NOTE: For HDCP compliance:

• A FOXBOX SR HDMI receiver must be paired with a FOXBOX HDMI or

• You must connect both fiber optic cables between the transmitter and

• A signal cannot be daisy-chained and retain HDCP compliance.

• The bidirectional Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) is not supported.

If the receiver is appropriately configured and has a second fiber optic cable installed, it also
can either:

• Receive an RS-232 return from a controlled device and send it to the transmitter via a

proprietary optical signal, or

• Output a daisy-chained signal to another receiver.

If either RS-232 return or daisy-chained communications are implemented, the receiver
outputs a proprietary signal on the second fiber optic cable carrying the signal.

For video resolutions up to 1600 x 1200, 1080p, or 1920 x 1200, the video output of the
receiver is a perfect, pixel-for-pixel recreation of the video signal input from the transmitter.

The single link of HDMI video output by a FOXBOX SR HDMI can be converted to DVI-D
video with the appropriate adapter.

The receiver has built-in color bars, crosshatch, grayscale, alternating pixels, and crop test
patterns, which are available under RS-232 Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) control, to assist in
setting up the display equipment and image and audio adjustments. The receiver has image,
audio, fiber light status, and lost-light alarm indicators.

Cable Transmission Modes

The receiver is further categorized by the type of fiber optic cable, multimode or singlemode,
which defines the effective range of transmission:

• Multimode (MM) — Long distance, up to 2 km (6,560 feet) (depending on the fiber

cable)

• Singlemode (SM) — Very long distance, up to 30 km (18.75 miles)

NOTE: The multimode and singlemode units are physically and functionally identical,

with the exception of the effective range of transmission. In this manual, any
reference applies to either transmission mode unless otherwise specified.

Ultra high performance — The FOXBOX SR HDMI receives pixel-for-pixel HDMI or DVI-D
(with an adapter) video transmission, up to 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz.

Video output — The receiver outputs a single link of HDMI video.
Compatible with the FOX Matrix Switchers, and FOX 500, FOXBOX, and

PowerCage FOX transmitters and receivers (with the exception of the FOX DA6,

FOX 2G, and FOX 3G HDSDI products)
Analog audio output — The receiver outputs balanced or unbalanced stereo audio on a

5-pole captive screw connector and digital audio embedded in the HDMI output.
Links monitoring — The receiver panel has indicators for monitoring image and audio

transmission and the fiber optic link.
Loss-of-light alarms — The receivers panel has discrete outputs that indicate if either of

the fiber optic links has suffered a loss of the light signal.
Signal Processing Product Control Program — For RS-232 remote control from a PC, the

Extron Signal Processing Product Control Program, which runs under Microsoft® Windows®,
provides a graphical interface with drag-and-drop, point-and-click operation.

Simple Instruction Set — The receiver uses SIS commandsfor easy remote control
operation.

Analog audio level — The analog audio output is at the consumer level (-10 dBV).
Auto Image™ — The auto imaging feature automatically sizes and centers the input to fill

the screen.
Upgradable firmware — The firmware that controls the operation of the receiver can be

upgraded in the field via an RS-232 link without taking the unit out of service. Firmware
upgrades are available for download on the Extron website, www.extron.com, and they
can be installed using the Signal Processing Product Control Program.

Memory presets — 30 memory presets are a time-saving feature that lets you store input
size and position settings relative to a specific input resolution. You can then recall those
settings, when needed, using the SIS or the control software.

LockIt™ HDMI Cable Lacing Bracket — The receiver includes a LockIt bracket to secure
the HDMI cable to the unit.

Rack mounting — The receiver is rack mountable in any conventional 19-inch wide rack,
using an Extron 9.5-inch or 6-inch deep rack shelf.

HDMI signals run at a very high frequency and are especially prone to errors caused by bad
video connections, too many adapters, or excessive cable length. To avoid the loss of an
image or jitter, follow these guidelines:

• Do not exceed 16.4 feet (5 meters) on the input of the transmitter or the output of the

FOXBOX SR HDMI scaling receiver.

• Use only the cable designed for HDMI signals that is supplied by Extron.

• Limit or avoid the use of adapters.

• Use only cables specifically intended for HDMI or DVI signals. Use of non-HDMI or

non-DVI cables or modified cables can result in a missing video output.

To securely fasten an HDMI cable to a device:

1. Plug the HDMI cable into the panel connection (see a in figure 6).

3. Place the LockIt lacing bracket on the screw and against the HDMI connector, then

tighten the screw to secure the bracket (c).

ATTENTION: Do not overtighten the HDMI connector mounting screw. The shield

to which it fastens is very thin and can easily be stripped.

4. Loosely place the included tie wrap around the HDMI connector and the LockIt lacing

bracket (d).

5. While holding the connector securely against the lacing bracket, use pliers or similar

tools to tighten the tie wrap, then remove any excess length (e).

RS-232 connections

The Remote RS-232 port on the receiver only is for remote control of the receiver. The
RS-232 Over Fiber port on both units is for transmission of serial signals, such as projector
control signals, between the transmitter and receiver (see figure 7 to properly wire the
connectors).

• 9600 baud • no parity • 8 data bits

• 1 stop bit • no flow control

NOTE: The maximum distances from the transmitter or receiver to the controlling

device can vary up to 200 feet (61 m). Factors such as cable gauge, baud
rates, environment, and output levels (from the unit and the controlling
device) all affect transmission distance. Distances of about 50 feet (15 m)
are typically not a problem. In some cases, the unit may be capable of serial
communications via RS-232 up to 250 feet (76 m) away.

Remote Control

This section describes the remote control operation of the FOXBOX SR HDMI, including:

• Simple Instruction Set Control

• Signal Processing Product Control Program

The receiver has two serial ports: the front panel Configuration port, a 2.5 mm mini stereo
jack (see “Front panel Configuration Port“ on page 11); and a rear panel Remote
RS-232 port, a 3-pole captive screw connector (see “RS-232 connections“ on page 8).
Either of these ports can be connected to a host device such as a computer running the
HyperTerminal or DataViewer utility, or a control system to make serial control of the
receiver possible.

The protocol for all ports is as follows:

• 9600 baud • no parity • 8 data bits

• 1 stop bit • no flow control

Simple Instruction Set Control

Host-to-Unit Instructions

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.

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
E11 – Invalid preset number
E13 – Invalid parameter
E14 – Invalid command for this configuration

Using the Command and Response Table

The command and response table begins on the next page. Either uppercase or lowercase
letters are acceptable in the command field except where indicated for the audio level (gain
and attenuation) commands. Symbols are used throughout the table to represent variables in
the command and response fields. Command and response examples are shown throughout

FOXBOX SR HDMI • Remote Control 26

Signal Processing Product Control Program

The Extron Signal Processing Control Program, which communicates with the receiver via its
Configuration port or Remote RS-232 port, provides an easy way to operate the receiver.

The program is compatible with Windows 2000, Windows XP®, or later. Updates to this
program can be downloaded from the Extron website (www.extron.com).

Installing the Software

The program is contained on a DVD. To install the software, insert the DVD into the drive.
The Extron software DVD window should appear automatically. If it does not self-start, run
Launch.exe from the DVD. Click the Software tab, scroll to the desired program, and click
Install. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen. By default, the installation creates
a C:\Program Files [Program Files (x86) for Windows 7]\Extron\Signal Processing
directory, and it places five icons into a group folder named “Extron Electronics\FOX Extender
Control Program.” The five installed icons are:

• Check for Signal Processing Updates

• Image Quick Capture

• Signal Processing Products Control Program Help

• Signal Processing Products Control Program

• Uninstall Signal Processing Products Control Program

Starting the Program

Start the Extron Signal Processing Product Control Program as follows:

1. Click Start > Programs > Extron Electronics > Signal Processing

Status area

Figure 24. Status Area

The status area provides indications of the connection status.

• HDMI indicator — This indicator is green when the transmitter detects a sync signal on

its HDMI video input. The transmitter reports the status on the fiber cable.

• Audio indicator — This indicator is green when the transmitter detects an audio

signal above a –35 dB threshold. It returns to unlit if the audio signal drops below the
threshold for 10 seconds. The transmitter reports the status on the fiber cable.

• Link 1 indicator — This indicator is green when the receiver detects light on the fiber

optic cable connected to the Tx port.

• Link 2 (Optional) indicator — This indicator is green when the transmitter detects

light on the fiber optic cable connected to the Rx port. The transmitter reports the status
on the fiber cable.

NOTE: The transmitter detects the receiver-Tx-to-transmitter-Rx light. It reports the

status to the receiver via the Tx cable.

If the PC is connected to the receiver and either the primary (transmitter-

Tx-to-receiver-Rx) cable is disconnected or the receiver is in the daisy chain
mode, the Link 2 indicator in the control program will not show green

UL Guidelines for Rack Mounting

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the installation of a
FOXBOX SR HDMI into a rack.

1. Elevated operating ambient — 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 maximum ambient temperature specified by Extron (Tma = +122 °F [+50 °C]).

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).
