FOX 3G hD-SDI

Fiber Optic Extender for Multi-Rate SDI

descriptiOn

The Extron FOX 3G HD-SDI Fiber Optic Extender enables long haul transmission of multi-rate

SDI video, with embedded audio and metadata, over a single fiber. Engineered for reliability and exceptional high resolution image performance, it uses the Extron exclusive, all digital technology to transmit multi-rate SDI signals up to 2.97 Gbps including SDI, HD-SDI, and

3G-SDI. To optimize SDI signal transmission to and from the FOX 3G HD-SDI, input signals are automatically equalized and output signals are reclocked. The FOX 3G HD-SDI can function as a transmitter and a receiver in various user-configurable modes. It is ideally suited for use in digital signage, broadcast and production, rental and staging, and medical applications.

FeAtures

• Extends SDI, HD-SDI, and 3G-SDI signals very long distances over a single fiber

• Input equalization and reclocking on buffered outputs

• Immunity to SDI and HD-SDI pathological signal patterns - FOX 3G HD-SDI P SM

• Dual buffered outputs

• Daisy-chain capability

• Real-time status LED indicators for troubleshooting and monitoring

Note: Two FOX 3G HD-SDI units are required to establish a link for sending and receiving multi-rate SDI signals. The FOX 3G HD-SDI is not compatible with the FOX 500 or FOXBOX

Fiber Optic Extenders, or the FOX 500 DA6 Fiber Optic Transmitter/Distribution Amplifier.

NOTE: FOX 3G HD-SDI P SM transceivers are immune to pathological signals only when P model units are used for both transmitter and receiver with no other equipment between the two units. If the signal is routed through a Fiber Matrix, FOX DA8, or FOX SW8, the system does not provide immunity.
