Introduction
This user guide contains information about the Extron FOX Tx/Rx AV family of signal transmitters
and receivers, with information on how to install and operate these units.
In this guide, unless otherwise specified, the terms “FOX Tx/Rx AV” and “FOX AV” refer to the
features or operation of all four units. The terms “FOX Tx AV” and “transmitter” refer to both the
multimode (MM) and singlemode (SM) transmitters and “FOX Rx AV” or “receiver” refer to both
the MM and SM receivers.
About the FOX Tx/Rx AV
The FOX Tx AV and FOX Rx AV are a high performance, low resolution video, audio, and data
(RS-232) transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) pairs. Signals are transmitted over fiber optic cable at
rates up to 2 Gbps.
There are four different units:
• FOX Tx AV MM (multimode transmitter)
• FOX Tx AV SM (singlemode transmitter)
• FOX Rx AV MM (multimode receiver)
• FOX Rx AV SM (singlemode receiver)
The MM models have 850 nm multimode small form-factor pluggable (SFP) modules and carry
signals up to 2 km (6562feet). The SM models have 1310 nm singlemode SFP modules and
carry signals up to 30 km (18.6 miles). The transmitter is connected to the receiver using the
appropriate fiber optic cable (SM or MM).
WARNING:
AVERTISSEMENT :
• The FOX Tx/Rx AV outputs continuous invisible light (Class 1 rated), which may be
harmful and dangerous to the eyes; use with caution.
• Le FOX Tx/Rx AV émet une lumière invisible en continu (conforme à la classe1) qui
peut être dangereux pour les yeux, à utiliser avec précaution.
• Do not look into the rear panel fiber optic cable connectors or into the fiber optic
cables themselves.
• Ne regardez pas dans les connecteurs de câble fibre optique sur le panneau arrière
ou dans les câbles fibre optique eux-mêmes.
NOTES:
• The transmitter and receiver must be compatible. Both must be MM or both must be
SM. It is not possible to mix types.
• Plug the attached dust caps into the optical transceivers when the fiber optic cable is
unplugged.
FOX Tx/Rx AV • Introduction 1
The FOXTx/Rx AV video units are compatible with the Extron Fiber Matrix units. However, they
are not compatible with the following Extron products:
• FOXBOX
• FOX500(RGB) and FOX500DVI
• FOX 3GHD-SDI
• FOX II
• PowerCage 1600
• Power Cage 401
FOX Tx/Rx AV Features
• Digitized signal transmission — ensures perfect image quality. The non-linearity of
the fiber components does not affect signal quality. Light can be distributed and repeated
without signal degradation or compression.
• All digital, zero compression technology — delivers uncompressed pixel-for-pixel
transmission of video signals to ensure optimal image quality.
• Transmits multiple signal types — transmits video, audio and data signals
simultaneously over one fiber. The units transmit composite, S-Video, or component video
signals and are compatible with NTSC, PAL, and SECAM standards.
• Auto Input Format Detection — the FOX AV transmitter can be set to detect the
incoming video signal format, automatically reconfiguring itself to transmit the signal. This
feature can reduce the number of required outputs for a matrix switcher, lowering system
cost while improving manageability.
• Encoding and decoding — the FOX Tx AV converts incoming signals to a proprietary
format that is passed along the fiber optic cable to the FOX Rx AV. At the other end of the
cable, the receiver converts the signal to the low resolution format that matches the needs of
the display device.
• Output Video Formatting — the user can set the output video signal format (composite,
S-Video, or component) or follow the format of the source device (video follow).
• Picture and audio adjustments — available picture adjustments include color, tint,
contrast, and brightness. Audio adjustments include input gain and attenuation, and output
level. Both audio and video can be muted.
• Daisy chain capability — the system can be expanded to provide output for up to ten
display devices.
• Long distance transmission — signals may be transmitted up to 2 km (6562 feet) over
multimode fiber or up to 30 km (18.6 miles) over singlemode fiber.
• Integration friendly — a variety of connectors permits input and output of composite,
S-video, or component video signals. Compatibility with Extron Fiber Matrix products allows
these units to be integrated into more complex AV systems.
• Troubleshooting features — LED signals and indicators allow easy diagnosis of
problems.
• Easy configuration — the units can be configured using the Extron Special Instruction Set
(SIS) or the FOX Extender Control Program.

FOX Tx/Rx AV • Panel Features and Connections 5
ATTENTION:
• Always use a power supply provided by or specified by Extron. Use of an
unauthorized power supply voids all regulatory compliance certification and may
cause damage to the supply and the end product.
• Utilisez toujours une source d’alimentation fournie ou recommandée par Extron.
L’utilisation d’une source d’alimentation non autorisée annule toute conformité
réglementaire et peut endommager la source d’alimentation ainsi que le produit final.
• If not provided with a power supply, this product is intended to be supplied by a UL
Listed power source marked “Class 2” or “LPS” and rated 12V dc, minimum 1.0 A.
• Si le produit n’est pas fourni avec une source d’alimentation, il doit être alimenté
par une source d’alimentation certifié UL de classe 2 ou LPS, avec une tension
nominale 12 Vcc, 1 A minimum.
• Extron power supplies are certified to UL/CSA 60950-1 and are classified as LPS
(Limited Power Source). Use of a non-LPS or unlisted power supply will void all
regulatory compliance certification.
• Les sources d’alimentation Extron sont qualifiées UL/CSA60950-1 et sont
classéesLPS(LimitedPowerSource). L’utilisation d’une source d’alimentation non-
listée ou non-listéeLPS annulera toute certification de conformité réglementaire.
• Unless otherwise stated, the AC/DC adapters are not suitable for use in air handling
spaces or in wall cavities. The power supply is to be located within the same vicinity
as the Extron AV processing equipment in an ordinary location, Pollution Degree 2,
secured to the equipment rack within the dedicated closet, podium, or desk.
• Sauf mention contraire, les adaptateurs AC/DC ne sont pas appropriés pour une
utilisation dans les espaces d’aération ou dans les cavités murales. La source
d’alimentation doit être située à proximité de l’équipement de traitement audiovisuel
dans un endroit ordinaire, avec un degré2 de pollution, fixé à un équipement de rack
à l’intérieur d’un placard, d’une estrade, ou d’un bureau.
• The installation must always be in accordance with the applicable provisions of
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, article 725 and the Canadian Electrical Code
part 1, section 16.
• Cette installation doit toujours être en accord avec les mesures qui s’applique au
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA70, article725, et au Canadian Electrical Code,
partie1, section16.
• The power supply shall not be permanently fixed to building structure or similar
structure.
• La source d’alimentation ne devra pas être fixée de façon permanente à une structure
de bâtiment ou à une structure similaire.
• The length of the exposed wires in the stripping process is critical. The ideal length is
3/16 inches (5 mm). Any longer and the exposed wires may touch, causing a short
circuit between them. Any shorter and the wires can be easily pulled out even if tightly
fastened by the captive screws.
• La longueur des câbles exposés est primordiale lorsque l’on entreprend de les
dénuder. La longueur idéale est de 5mm (3/16inches). S’ils sont un peu plus longs,
les câbles exposés pourraient se toucher et provoquer un court circuit. S’ils sont un
peu plus courts, ils pourraient sortir, même s’ils sont attachés par les vis captives.
• Do not tin the wire leads before installing into the connector. Tinned wires are not as
secure in the connector and could be pulled out.
• Ne pas étamer les conducteurs avant de les insérer dans le connecteur. Les câbles
étamés ne sont pas aussi bien fixés dans le connecteur et pourraient être retirés.
FOX Tx/Rx AV • Panel Features and Connections 6
B
Video connections (see figure 3 on page 5) — Three BNC connectors and one 4-pin
mini DIN S-video connector for video input and output.
The FOX Tx/Rx AV accepts a single low resolution video signal (composite, S-video and low
resolution component video) and outputs a single low resolution video signal (composite,
S-video and low resolution component video). It is not compatible with RGB or HDTV 480p,
720p, or 1080i component video signals.
The transmitter converts incoming signals to a proprietary format and passes them along the
fiber optic cable to the FOX Rx AV. The receiver converts the signal to a format that matches
the display requirements. SIS commands are used to configure the receiver to convert
between signal formats (see Command and Response Table for SIS Commands on
page 16).
Component Signal
To input a low resolution component signal, or output a component output
signal, connect three BNC male connectors to the Y/VID, B-Y/C, and R-Y
receptacles on the back panel of the unit as shown in the figure at right.
S-video Signal
There are two alternative methods to input or output an
S-video signal:
• Connect BNC male connectors to the Y/VID and B-Y/C
receptacles on the back panel of the unit
or
• Connect a 4-pin mini DIN to the S-VID receptacle on
the back panel of the unit.
NOTE: When a signal is output using BNC connectors, an additional transcoded
S-video signal is always output from the S-VID socket of the receiver.
Composite Signal
To input or output a composite signal, use a single BNC male connector to
the Y/VID receptacle on the back panel of the unit.
When both the BNC connectors and the 4-pin mini DIN provide simultaneous video input,
the signal with the highest priority for video output is shown, highlighted in blue, in the table

See the Attention on page 6 for important information about preparing and connecting
wires to captive screw connectors.
The table below shows the initial gain differences between audio input/output connectors,
using captive screw connectors. The unbalanced output from the captive screw connector is
half (-6 dB), regardless of input.
Input Output Gain
Balanced Balanced 0 dB (unity)
Balanced Unbalanced -6 dB (half)
Unbalanced Balanced 0 dB
Unbalanced Unbalanced -6 dB
Additional adjustment of audio gain or attenuation can be made using SIS Commands (see
page 14).
NOTE: The Audio LED lights up immediately when the transmitter detects an audio
signal 35 dB below the nominal level. It remains lit until the audio signal drops below
that threshold continuously for 10 seconds.

RS-232 connections (see figure 3) — The Remote RS-232 connections
(see the figure at right) allow the transmitter and receiver units to be
configured using SIS Commands (see page 14) or the FOX Extender
Control Program (see page 20).
The Over Fiber RS-232 connections (see the figure at right) allow
pass-through to remote units.
For more information see RS-232 Ports on page 11.
NOTE: Over fiber RS-232 communications are via a passive pass-through only; the FOX
Tx/Rx AV units neither generate nor respond to these signals.

Alarm (see figure 3 on page 5) — When connected to an alarm, this 3.5
mm 2-pole captive screw connector gives a warning when light signals have
been disconnected, lost, or broken.
See the Attention on page 6 for important information about preparing and
connecting wires to captive screw connectors.
The alarm pins, labeled 1 and 2, (see the figure at right) on the rear panel of the
FOX Tx/Rx AV act as a short when activated. They do not produce any discrete
on or off voltage signals but act as an internal relays that either connect or
disconnect external alarm circuits.
For the FOX Tx AV, the alarm state is activated when link 2 is absent. For the
FOX Rx AV, the alarm state is activated when link 1 is absent.
When power is lost, the alarm state is activated for both units.
F
Fiber optic cable connector (see figure 3) — An LC duplex SFP connector
links the transmitter and receiver. An LED above each port lights when a signal
is received. The optical Rx port of the receiver lights when a signal from fiber link
1 reaches the receiver. The optical Rx port or the transmitter lights when a signal
from link 2 reaches the transmitter.
WARNING:
AVERTISSEMENT :
• The FOX Tx/Rx AV outputs continuous invisible light (Class 1 rated),
which may be harmful and dangerous to the eyes; use with caution.
• Le FOX Tx/Rx AV émet une lumière invisible en continu (conforme
à la classe1) qui peut être dangereux pour les yeux, à utiliser avec
précaution.
• Do not look into the rear panel fiber optic cable connectors or into
the fiber optic cables themselves. Plug the attached dust caps into
the optical transceivers when the fiber optic cable is unplugged.
• Ne regardez pas dans les connecteurs de câble fibre optique
sur le panneau arrière ou dans les câbles fibre optique eux-
mêmes. Branchez les protections contre la poussière dans
l’ensemble émetteur/récepteur lorsque le câble fibre optique est
débranché.
Link 1 connects the Tx port of the transmitter and the Rx port of the receiver. It carries
video, audio and/or data output from the transmitter to the receiver.
Link 2 is optional. It connects the Tx port of the receiver with the Rx port of the transmitter.
It only carries the responses to RS-232 commands and is not required for transmitting video
and audio signals.
However, if link 2 is not enabled, the ability to configure the system through SIS commands
is limited by the lack of communication from the receiver to the transmitter. All commands
issued through the transmitter are valid but responses to status queries may return invalid
data.
Signals may be transmitted 2 km (6561 feet) over multimode (MM) fiber and 30 km (18 miles)
over singlemode fiber. An MM transmitter must always be connected to a MM receiver and
an SM transmitter can only be connected to a SM receiver.

Daisy Chain Capability
FOX Rx AV receivers have a loop-out mode that allows a signal to be passed along a daisy chain
of to up to ten receivers, with a display device attached to each receiver. The loop-out mode is
set using RS-232 commands (see SIS Commands on page 14).
All receivers in the daisy chain must be compatible, that is they must all be SM or all be MM
models, connected with the appropriate fiber optic cable. Each receiver receives a signal at its
Rx fiber optic port and passes the signal to the next unit through its Tx port.
NOTES:
• In daisy chain mode, the Tx port passes audio and video signals to the next
receiver in the daisy chain. As a result, the Tx port is not available for bidirectional
communication and system configuration with SIS commands is limited.
• When multiple receivers are in daisy chain mode, RS-232 commands issued through
the transmitter pass to every receiver but commands issued through a receiver apply
only to that receiver. Configuring each receiver independently, matches each output
signal to the unique needs of the display device.

Configuration
This section of the user guide provides information about:
• RS-232 Ports
• RS-232 Control of Tx and Rx Units
• SIS Commands
• Command and Response Table for SIS Commands
• FOX Extender Control Program
RS-232 Ports
Both the FOX Tx AV and FOX Rx AV have a front panel TRS port and a rear panel captive screw
port, which can provide SIS commands to configure the transmitter/receiver settings when
connected to a control device (see Command and Response Table for SIS Commands on
page 16).
NOTE: The two comm ports work in parallel. However, depending on the computer or the
communication settings, connecting to both comm ports at once may result in one or
both ports not working. Extron recommends that only one comm port (front or back) is
used at a time.
The protocol for both ports is 9600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.
NOTE: Both RS-232 Remote and RS-232 Over Fiber signals require fiber optic link 1 and
link 2 for full functionality (see RS-232 Control of Tx and Rx Units on page 13).
The front panel Config port uses a 2.5 mm mini jack connector. Extron recommends the 9-pin D
Female to 2.5 mm TRS Configuration Cable (see www.extron.com).
