About this Guide

This guide includes instructions for an experienced installer to install, configure, and operate

the ultra-high performance fiber optic receiver (see figure 1 on page 2).

About the PowerCage FOX SR HDMI

The PowerCage FOX SR HDMI is an ultra-high performance scaling fiber optic receiver that

accepts a proprietary optical signal on a single LC connector from a compatible fiber optic

transmitter or daisy-chained receiver located up to 30 km (18 miles) away.

The receiver outputs a single link of HDMI video, digital audio (embedded in the HDMI

output), analog audio, and RS-232 serial commands. The receiver can scale its video output

to one of several resolutions and rates.

NOTE: For HDCP compliance:

• A PowerCage FOX SR HDMI receiver must be paired with a

PowerCage FOX HDMI or FOXBOX HDMI transmitter.

• You must connect both fiber optic cables between the transmitter and

receiver.

• A signal cannot be daisy-chained and retain HDCP compliance.

• The bidirectional Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) is not supported.

Figure 1. Typical PowerCage FOX SR HDMI Application

If the receiver is appropriately configured and has a second fiber optic cable installed, it also

can either:

• Receive an RS-232 return from a controlled device and send it to the transmitter via a

proprietary optical signal, or

• Output a daisy-chained signal to another receiver.

If either RS-232 return or daisy-chained communications are implemented, the receiver

outputs a proprietary signal on the second fiber optic cable carrying the signal.

For video resolutions up to 1600 x 1200, 1080p, or 1920 x 1200, the video output of the

receiver is a perfect, pixel-for-pixel recreation of the video signal input from the transmitter.

The single link of HDMI video output by a PowerCage FOX SR HDMI can be converted to

DVI-D video with the appropriate adapter.

The receiver has built-in color bars, crosshatch, grayscale, alternating pixels, and crop test

patterns, which are available under RS-232 Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) control, to assist

in setting up the display equipment and image and audio adjustments. The receiver has

image, audio, fiber light status, and lost-light alarm indicators.

PowerCage FOX SR HDMI Scaling Receiver • Introduction 3

System Compatibility

The PowerCage FOX SR HDMI receiver operates interchangeably with all HDMI, DVI, and

VGA transmitters in the Extron PowerCage FOX, FOXBOX, and FOX 500 families, including

Plus and non-Plus units.

output is not HDCP-compliant.

•

The r

eceiver is not compatible with the FOX AV, PowerCage FOX AV,

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

transmitters.

Fiber Cable Transmission Modes

The receiver is further categorized by the type of fiber optic cable, multimode or singlemode,

which defines the effective range of transmission:

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

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

Features

Ultra high performance — The PowerCage FOX SR HDMI receives pixel-for-pixel HDMI

or DVI-D (with an adapter) video transmission, up to 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz.

Video output — The receiver outputs a single link of HDMI video.

Compatible with the FOX Matrix Switchers and FOX 500 and FOXBOX transmitters

and receivers (with the exception of the FOX DA6, FOX 2G, and FOX 3G HDSDI products)

HDMI signals run at a very high frequency and are especially prone to errors caused by bad

video connections, too many adapters, or excessive cable length. To avoid the loss of an

image or jitter, follow these guidelines:

• Do not exceed 16.4 feet (5 meters) on the input of the transmitter or the output of the

PowerCage FOX SR HDMI scaling receiver.

• Use only the cable designed for HDMI signals that is supplied by Extron.

• Limit or avoid the use of adapters.

•

Use only cables specifically intended for HDMI or DVI signals. Use of non-HDMI or

non-DVI cables or modified cables can r

esult in a missing video output.

To securely fasten an HDMI cable to a device:

1. Plug the HDMI cable into the panel connection (see

in figure 6).

Figure 6. Installing the LockIt Lacing Bracket

2. Loosen the HDMI connection mounting screw from the panel enough to allow the

RS-232 connectors

The RS-232 Over Fiber port is for transmission of serial signals, such as projector control

signals, between the transmitter and receiver.

The Remote RS-232 port is for remote control of the receiver. The protocol for the Remote

RS-232 port is as follows:

Do not tin the wires!

NOTE: The length of exposed wires is important. The ideal length is 3/16 inch (5 mm).

• Longer bare wires can short together.

• Shorter wires are not as secure in the connectors and could be pulled out.

• 9600 baud

• no parity

• 8 data bits

• 1 stop bit

• no flow control

e Configuration port — This 2.5 mm mini stereo jack serves the same serial

communications function as the Remote RS-232 port on the receiver board, but is

easier to access than the port on the board after the unit has been installed and cabled.

The 9-pin D to 2.5 mm mini jack TRS RS-232 cable, included with the PowerCage

enclosure, but also available separately (see figure 11), can be used for this connection.

NOTES: • This port is for remote control of the transmitter or receiver, not for the

over fiber RS-232 link.

• This port parallels the Remote RS-232 ports on the boards. If an active

front panel configuration connection is made, the Remote RS-232 port

on the board becomes inactive.

•

The maximum distances fr

om the transmitter or receiver to the

controlling device can vary up to 200 feet (61 m). Factors such as cable

gauge, baud rates, environment, and output levels (from the unit and

the controlling device) all affect transmission distance. Distances of

approximately 50 feet (15 meters) are typically not a problem. In some

cases, the unit may be capable of serial communications via RS-232 up

to 250 feet (76 meters) away.

This port is RS-232 only, with the following protocols:

• 9600 baud • no parity • 8 data bits

• 1 stop bit • no flow control

f Temp LED — This LED lights to indicate that the temperature within the PowerCage

enclosure is dangerously high (above 167 °F [75 °C]) and that equipment damage is

imminent.
