Extron electronics FOX 2G Tx AV Manuel utilisateur

This guide provides instructions for an experienced installer to set up and operate the Extron®

PowerCage FOX 2G Tx/Rx AV ﬁber optic video and audio extenders.

The Extron PowerCage FOX 2G AV is a modular transmitter and

receiver pair of boards for the PowerCage 1600 enclosure, providing

long distance transmission of standard deﬁnition video, audio, and

data (RS-232) signals over a ﬁber optic cable at rates of up to 2 Gbps.

The PowerCage FOX 2G AV Tx and Rx boards are compatible

with the FOX 2G AV ﬁber optic video transmitter and receiver as

well as the FOX Series of distribution ampliﬁers, switchers, and

matrix switchers. They are not compatible with the FOXBOX 4G,

FOX 500 (RGB) and FOX 500 DVI, FOX 500 DA6, FOX 3G HD-SDI, and

PowerCage FOX 4G DVI and VGA boards.

Installation

Step 1 — Install the Boards in the Enclosure

Install the Tx, Rx, or both boards in the PowerCage 1600 enclosure

slots as required. Use a screwdriver or other tool to tighten the two

screws that hold each board in place. (See the illustration at right.)

NOTE: Ensure that the boards are ﬂush with the rear of the enclosure

and that the screws are tightened securely before applying power.

Step 2 — Connect the Input and Outputs

a. Connect a low-resolution (composite, S-video, or component) video source to one or more Video Input

connectors on the transmitter. Connect a video output device to one or more Video Output connectors on

the receiver. (The video input connectors on the transmitter are identical in appearance to the video output

connectors on the receiver; both are shown at right.)

b. Connect a balanced or unbalanced, stereo or mono audio input source to the Audio captive screw connector

on the transmitter. Connect a balanced or unbalanced stereo or mono audio output device to the Audio

captive screw connector on the receiver. (See the illustrations below.)

CAUTION: For unbalanced audio, connect the sleeves to the ground contact. DO NOT connect the sleeves to the negative

(–) contacts.

Step 3 — Connect Cables for Serial Control of an Output Device (Optional)

If you want the PowerCage FOX 2G AV units to pass serial data or control signals, such as for serial control of a

projector, connect the controlling device to the transmitter and the other device to the ﬁrst three poles of the RS-232

Over Fiber captive screw connectors on both units.

Step 4 — Connect an Alarm (Optional)

For remote monitoring of the status of the Rx optical link on either unit, connect a contact closure device to the two

Alarm poles of the Remote RS-232/Alarm 5-pole captive screw connector on the unit. When no signal light is detected,

the two poles of the connector are shorted together to activate an alert (such as sounding an alarm, turning on a room

light, or sending an e-mail).

Step 5 — Connect the Fiber Optic Cable

NOTE: See the two ﬁber cable connection drawings at right and below. You can connect the transmitter and

one or more receivers in one of the following ways:

• Unidirectional (transmitter to receiver) only: perform step a.

• Bidirectional (transmitter to receiver and return): perform steps a and b.

• Unidirectional (transmitter to receiver) with daisy-chain (receiver to receiver): perform steps

a and c.

a. Connect a ﬁber optic cable between the Tx port on the transmitter and the Rx port on the receiver.

b. If you want the receiver to send return serial data (such as responses from a controlled device) to the transmitter,

connect a ﬁber optic cable between the Tx port on the receiver and the 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 a ﬁber cable from the Tx port on the receiver to the Rx port on another receiver.

• Set each receiver to daisy-chain mode. See “Normal and Daisy Chain Modes,” below.

Step 6 — Connect to the Host (Optional)

For serial control of the transmitter and receiver, connect a host device, such as a computer, to either:

• The ﬁrst three poles (Tx, Rx, and _) of the Remote RS-232/Alarm 5-pole captive screw connector on either unit.

• The Conﬁg connector on the PowerCage 1600 enclosure front panel using an optional 9-pin D to

2.5 mm mini jack TRS RS-232 cable (part number 70-335-01). Repeatedly press the front panel Comm

Select button until the Comm LED lights for the slot where the PowerCage FOX 2G transmitter or

receiver board is installed.

The protocol for these ports is:

• 9600 baud • no parity • 8 data bits • 1 stop bit • no ﬂow control

Refer to the PowerCage FOX 2G Tx/Rx AV User Guide for detailed information about using the Simple

Instruction Set (SIS™) commands and the FOX Extenders Control Program to set up and operate the

transmitter and receiver and to use the adjustments and test patterns on the PowerCage FOX 2G.

Operation

After all receivers, the transmitter, and connected devices are powered up, the system is fully operational.

If any problems occur, 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 number shown below for

the Extron S3 Sales & Technical Support Hotline at the Extron site closest to you.

Normal and Daisy Chain Modes

The receiver operates in one of two modes:

• Normal mode — The receiver outputs RS-232 and SIS commands and responses on its Tx LC connector.

• Daisy-chain mode — On its Tx connector, the receiver outputs the signal stream that it receives on its Rx connector. Up to 10

receivers, each in daisy chain mode, can be connected to a single transmitter.

Use SIS commands issued to the connected unit to toggle between normal and daisy-chain modes. Connect a computer to the

Remote RS-232 port of either unit or to the Conﬁg port on the PowerCage enclosure and issue the 66*0*n# command. For n:

2 = Enable daisy chain mode; 0 or 1 = disable daisy chain mode.

You can also switch operating modes using the FOX Extenders Control Program (refer to the program help ﬁle for details).
