FOX II DP Transmitter and Receiver • Introduction

About the FOX II DP Transmitter and Receiver

The FOX II DP Transmitter and Receiver are an ultra-high performance fiber optic Extender set for long haul transmission of HDCP-compliant DisplayPort video, audio, and RS-232 and IR control signals over fiber optic cabling. The transmitter and receiver can extend DisplayPort signals up to 30 km (18 miles).

Transmitter

The FOX II T DP transmitter accepts DisplayPort video, at a resolution of up to 2560x1600 and a data rate of up to 10.8 Gbps (2.7 Gbps per lane). The video input can also include embedded audio. The transmitter also loops the DisplayPort input through for a local monitor.

The transmitter can also accept an analog audio input on either a 3.5 mm mini jack or a 5-pole captive screw connector. The transmitter automatically detects whether embedded audio is present on the DisplayPort input and if none, selects the analog audio for the unit to embed in the digital video stream and transmit to the receiver. An RS-232 Simple Instruction Set (SIS) command selects either audio.

The transmitter accepts a one-way (transmitter-to-receiver) RS-232 serial communication (for applications such as projector control) serial signal input. The transmitter can receive an optional return (receiver-to-transmitter) stream of serial RS-232 communications, such as projector responses.

The transmitter converts the DisplayPort video, the selected audio, and the RS-232 serial communication into a proprietary data stream and outputs it as an optical signal on a single LC connector to a compatible fiber optic receiver. It also can receive a proprietary optical signal from the receiver consisting of the RS-232 return from a controlled device and an audio return channel.

The transmitter has a built-in color bars test pattern to assist in setting up the display equipment.

Receiver

The FOX II R DP receiver accepts a proprietary optical signal on a single LC connector from a compatible fiber optic transmitter.

The receiver outputs DisplayPort video, digital audio (embedded in the DisplayPort output), analog audio, and RS-232 serial and IR commands.

If the receiver is appropriately configured and has a second fiber optic cable installed, it also can receive an RS-232 return from a controlled device and send it to the transmitter via a proprietary optical signal.

If RS-232 return is implemented, the receiver outputs a proprietary signal on the second fiber optic cable carrying the RS-232 signal.

For video resolutions up to 2560x1600, the video output of the receiver is a perfect, pixel-for-pixel recreation of the video signal input to the transmitter.

Both Units

The transmitter and receiver have many controls, including audio adjustments, that are available under RS-232 SIS control. Both units have video, audio, fiber light status, and lost-light alarm indicators.

FOX II DP Transmitter and Receiver • Introduction

System Compatibility

The FOX II T DP transmitter is compatible with all Extron FOX II receivers only. The FOX II R DP receiver is compatible with all FOX II transmitters and with existing

FOX 500, FOXBOX, and PowerCage FOX DVI, VGA and HDMI transmitters:

• DVI Plus models: Resolutions up to 1920x1200 @ 60 Hz, with embedded audio and

analog audio support

• Non plus models: Resolutions up to 1600x1200 @ 60 Hz, with analog audio support.

Embedded audio is not supported.

NOTES:

• The receiver video output is HDCP-compliant when the transmitter input is from an

HDCP-compliant source and two ﬁber cables are used.

• The FOX II receiver is not compatible with the FOX AV, PowerCage FOX AV,

FOX 3G HD-SDI, PowerCage FOX 3G HD-SDI, and FOX 3G DVC models.

Fiber Cable Transmission Modes

The transmitter and receiver are further categorized by the type of fiber optic cable, multimode or singlemode, which define the effective range of transmission:

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

• FOX II T DP MM

• FOX II R DP MM

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

• FOX II T DP SM

• FOX II R DP SM

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.

FOX II DP Transmitter and Receiver • Introduction

Features

Ultra high performance — Offers pixel-for-pixel DisplayPort video transmission, up to 2560x1600 at 60 Hz.

Video input — The transmitter accepts an input from a DisplayPort source. Loop-through on transmitter — The transmitter has a digital video loop-through on a

DisplayPort connector that allows connection of a local monitor. Key Minder — Authenticates and maintains continuous HDCP encryption between input

and output devices to ensure quick and reliable switching in professional AV environments, while enabling simultaneous distribution of a single source signal to one or more displays.

EDID Minder — Automatically manages EDID communication between connected devices to ensure that all sources properly power up and reliably display content.

Video output — The receiver outputs digital video on a DisplayPort connector. Extron fiber optic product compatibility — Enables ultra-long distance analog

RGB-to-digital conversion, when the FOX II receiver is connected to an Extron analog fiber optic transmitter, without the need for extra signal conversion devices.

Compatibility with FOX 500 DA6 distribution amplifier and FOX Matrix Switchers Audio embedding — Converts analog stereo audio signals to digital DP audio when the

analog input is selected. Two analog audio inputs — The transmitter accepts an unbalanced stereo or mono audio

input on a 3.5 mm mini jack and a balanced or unbalanced stereo or mono audio on a 5-pole captive screw connector.

Automatic audio detection and switching — The transmitter can automatically detect digital audio embedded in the DisplayPort input and select it for transmission. If the transmitter does not detect embedded audio, it switches to the analog audio input. Or, you can manually select either audio input with an SIS command.

NOTE: Analog audio is not embedded in the digital video stream but is transmitted as it

is input.

Analog audio input gain and attenuation — The level of the analog audio input can be adjusted within a range of -18 dB (attenuation) to +10 dB (gain) via the serial port or USB port.

Audio output — The receiver outputs either balanced or unbalanced stereo audio on a 5-pole captive screw connector and a 3.5 mm mini jack or digital audio embedded in the DisplayPort output.

Audio Return Channel — The transmitter and receiver pair supports analog audio return from the receiver to the transmitter, such as for return of a microphone input back to the transmitter.

LED indicators for signal presence, HDCP, and power — Provides a visual indication of system status for real-time feedback and monitoring of key performance parameters.

Loss-of-light alarms — The panels of the transmitters and receivers have discrete outputs that indicate if either of the fiber optic links have suffered a loss of the light signal.

Alarm notification for fiber link loss — The units can be set up to trigger an external control system for immediate notification when a fiber link has been lost. Requires a second fiber link for the transmitter.

Product Configuration Software — For RS-232 port and USB port remote control from a PC, the Extron Product Configuration Software, which runs under Microsoft® Windows®, provides a graphical interface and drag-and-drop/point-and-click operation.

FOX II DP Transmitter and Receiver • Introduction

Simple Instruction Set — The transmitter and receiver use the SIS for easy remote control operation.

Upgradable firmware — The firmware that controls the operation of each unit can be upgraded in the field via the USB Configuration port without taking the unit out of service. Firmware upgrades are available for download on the Extron website and they can be installed using the Product Configuration Software.

Rack mounting — Both FOX II units are rack mountable in any conventional 19-inch wide rack, using an Extron 9.5-inch deep rack shelf.

Power — The 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz external power supply for each unit provides worldwide power compatibility, low power consumption, and reduced operating costs.
