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

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.

Tx Link and Rx Link LEDs — When lit, the link is active (light

is output [Tx LED] or received [Rx LED]).

Step 3 — Output Connections

a. Connect an HDMI video display to the HDMI Output connector.

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

b.

Connect a balanced or unbalanced audio device to the

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

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

The protocol for both of these ports is as follows:

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

connector on that unit. The unit shorts both poles together when no light is detected.

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.
