FOXBOX SR HDMI • Setup Guide
This guide provides quick start instructions for an experienced installer to set up and operate the
Extron FOXBOX SR HDMI scaling ber optic receiver.
CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT, see the FOXBOX SR HDMI User Guide at www.extron.com.
CAUTION:
• These units output continuous invisible light, which may be harmful to the eyes; use with caution. For additional safety, plug
the attached dust caps into the optical transceivers when the ber optic cable is unplugged.
• Ces produits émettent une lumière invisible continue, qui peut être dangereuse pour les yeux ; à utiliser avec précaution.
Pour une sécurité renforcée, associez les bouchons anti-poussière à l’ensemble émetteur/récepteur optique lorsque le câble
bre optique est débranché.
Installation
Step 1 — Mounting
Turn off or disconnect all equipment power
sources and mount the receiver as required.
Step 2 — Throughput Connections
NOTES: • See the two ber cable connection drawings below. You can connect the transmitter and one or more
receivers in one of three ways:
• One way (transmitter to receiver) only, perform step 2a.
• Two way (transmitter to receiver and return), perform steps 2a and 2b.
• One way (transmitter to receiver) with daisy chain (receiver to receiver), perform steps 2a and 2c.
• HDCP compliance requires both ber cables.
a. Connect the ber between the Tx port on the transmitter and the Rx port on the receiver.
b.
If you want the r
eceiver to send return serial data (such as responses from a controlled device) to the transmitter,
connect a cable between the Tx port on the receiver and Rx port on the transmitter.
c. If you want a receiver to daisy-chain the optical signal to another receiver (up to 10 receivers in a daisy chain):
•
Connect the r
eceiver Tx ber cable to Rx on another receiver.
• Set each receiver to daisy chain mode. See “Return Link
and Daisy Chain Modes,” on the next page.
Tx Link and Rx Link LEDs — When lit, the link is active (light
is output [Tx LED] or received [Rx LED]).
NOTE: The Link LEDs indicate transmission of light only, not whether there is data encoded in the optical link.
Step 3 — Output Connections
a. Connect an HDMI video display to the HDMI Output connector.
NOTE: Use a LockIt Lacing Bracket to securely fasten an HDMI cable to the receiver as follows.
1.

2. Loosen the HDMI connection mounting screw from the panel enough to allow
the LockIt lacing bracket to be placed over it. The screw does not have to be
removed.
3. Place the LockIt lacing bracket on the screw and against the HDMI connector,
then tighten the screw to secure the bracket.
ATTENTION:
• Do not overtighten the HDMI connector mounting screw. The shield it
fastens to is very thin and can easily be stripped.
• Ne serrez pas trop la vis de montage du connecteur HDMI. Le blindage
auquel elle est attachée est très fin et peut facilement être dénudé
4. Loosely place the included tie wrap around the HDMI connector and the LockIt
lacing bracket as shown.
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.

ATTENTION:
•
For unbalanced audio, connect the sleeves to the ground contact. DO NOT connect the sleeves to the negative (-) contacts.
• Pour l’audio asymétrique, connectez les manchons au contact au sol. NE PAS connecter les manchons aux
contacts négatifs (–).
c. If you want the receiver to pass serial data or control signals, such as for serial control of a

projector, connect the primary device to the transmitter and the secondary device to the receiver via the left three poles
(Tx, Rx, and

d.
For serial contr
ol of a unit, connect a host device, such as a computer, to one of the following ports on the unit to be
controlled:
Transmitter or receiver Configuration port — A 2.5 mm mini jack. A TRS RS-232 cable is included with the transmitter.

Receiver Remote RS-232 port — Use the Remote RS-232 3-pole captive screw connector.

constructed or obtained device to the two right Alarm poles of the RS-232 Over Fiber/Alarm 5-pole captive screw

Operation
After all receivers, the transmitter, and their connected devices are powered up, the system is fully operational. If any problems are
encountered, verify that the cables are routed and connected properly and that all display devices have identical resolutions and refresh
rates. If problems persist, call the Extron S3 Sales and Technical Support Hotline at the number that is closest to you.
Return Link and Daisy Chain Modes
The receiver operates in one of two modes (or both modes can be disabled):
Return link mode — The receiver outputs data on its Tx connector for return to the transmitter.
Daisy chain mode — The receiver daisy-chains its Rx connector input through to its Tx connector output.
Issue the following SIS commands from a PC connected to the receiver Remote RS-232 port to toggle between return link and daisy chain
modes or to disable both modes:
66*0*n#, where n = 0 = disable, 1 = enable return link (default mode), and 2 = daisy chain enable
NOTES: • Up to 10 receivers, each in daisy chain mode, can be connected in a daisy chain to a single transmitter.
• Daisy chain mode works with non-HDCP sources only.
