Installation

Board Installation

Install the transmitter, receiver, or both into a PowerCage 401

enclosure as required.

ATTENTION:

• Use ESD precautions when installing a board to

avoid damaging it. Keep the board in the

anti-static bag until it is needed. Use proper

grounding techniques during installation.

• Prenez les précautions ESD lorsque vous installez

une carte an d’éviter de l’endommager. Gardez la

carte dans le sachet dépoussiérant jusqu’à ce que

vous en ayez besoin. Utilisez des techniques de mise

à la terre correctes pendant l’installation.

NOTES:

• PowerCage boards are hot-swappable.

• Ensure the boards are ush with the rear of the enclosure and the screws are tightened securely before applying power.

• Each slot is independent from other slots. The type of board installed in a slot or the order of slots lled does not impact

boards installed in other slots.

1. If applicable, remove any blank plates or previously installed boards from the PowerCage 401 enclosure to t the board.

2. With the connectors facing away from the PowerCage 401 enclosure and the screws positioned at the top, align the bottom

board edges with the posts of the desired slots on the PowerCage 401 enclosure.

3. Carefully slide the board into the slot and push it rmly into place.

4. Tighten the screws with a tool to secure the board to the enclosure.

Inputs and outputs

The PowerCage 401 FOX DT HD includes two independent HDMI video inputs and two independent audio inputs. The

PowerCage 401 FOX DR HD includes two independent HDMI video outputs and two independent audio outputs.

NOTE: Use Extron LockIt

™

Lacing Bracket to secure HDMI cables to the

HDMI connectors (see the image to the right for basic instructions).

1. Connect video inputs or outputs as follows:

• For either input on the transmitter, connect a digital video source to the

HDMI input connector (see ﬁgure 1,

on the previous page).

• For either output on the receiver, connect a digital display to the HDMI

output connector (

2. Connect audio inputs or outputs as follows:

• For unbalanced, stereo audio input, connect an audio source to the 3.5 mm mini stereo

connector (

) for either input on the transmitter.

• To output unbalanced, stereo or mono audio, connect an audio output device to the 3.5 mm mini

stereo connectors (

) for either output on the receiver.

Throughput devices

NOTES:

• Ensure the proper ber cable is used. Typically, singlemode ber optic cables have a yellow jacket

and multimode ber optic cables have an orange or aqua jacket.

• Transmission of HDMI video with HDCP content requires a return ber optic cable from the

receiving device to the transmitting device.

1. Connect a ber cable between the Tx port on the transmitter and the Rx port on the receiver (

on the

previous page and the image to the right).

2. If necessary, connect a ber cable from the Tx port on the receiver to another device in one of the

following methods:

• To return serial data (such as response from a controlled device) to the transmitter, connect a cable

between the Tx port on the receiver and Rx port on the transmitter (see the image to the right).

• To connect up to ten receivers to a transmitter, connect the Tx port on the receiver to the Rx port on

another receiver (see image below) and enable daisy chain mode with SIS commands or the Product

Conguration Software (see the PowerCage 401 FOX DT HD and PowerCage 401 FOX DR HD User

Guide at www.extron.com).

NOTE: Daisy chain mode works with non-HDCP sources only.

3. To pass serial data between a control device and a controlled device (such as control of a projector), connect the desired

type of device to the RS-232 connector on the transmitter or receiver (

). See the PowerCage 401 Enclosure User Guide at

www.extron.com to change the RS-232 protocol. The default RS-232 protocol is as follows:

• 9600 baud • No parity • 8 data bits

• 1 stop bit • No ow control

Operation

After all receivers, transmitters, and their related devices are connected and powered, the system is fully operational. If any

problems are encountered, verify 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 & Technical Support Hotline.

To congure and control the PowerCage 401 FOX DT HD and PowerCage 401 FOX DR HD, use the Extron Product Conguration

Software, Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) commands, or the internal Web page with the PowerCage 401 enclosure.
