Setup Guide — FOX 2G Tx/Rx AV

(Continued on reverse side)

The FOX 2G Tx AV and FOX 2G Rx AV are a high performance, low resolution video, audio,

and data (RS-232) transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) pairs. Both the transmitter and receiver are

available in single mode (SM) and multi-mode (MM) models. The SM models transmit signals

up to 30 km (18 miles) over ﬁber optic cable, at rates up to 2 Gbps.

NThe transmitter and receiver must be compatible. Both must be MM or both must be SM. It

is not possible to mix types.

WThe FOX 2G Tx/Rx AV outputs continuous invisible light (Class 1 rated), which may

be harmful and dangerous to the eyes; use with caution.

Do not look into the rear panel ﬁber optic cable connectors or into the ﬁber optic cables

themselves.

NPlug the attached dust caps into the optical transceivers when the ﬁber optic cable is

unplugged.

To install, cable, and power on the transmitter/receiver pair:

Step 1

Turn off all equipment or disconnect it from power sources.

Mount the transmitter and receiver as required.

Step 2

Connect a low resolution video source to the transmitter using

the input BNC connections for composite or component sources.

S-video can be connected using either the BNC connectors or the

4-pin mini DIN. (See the ﬁgure at right).

Step 3

Connect balanced or unbalanced, stereo or mono audio input

to the transmitter using the 5-pole, 3.5 mm captive screw

connector. (See the ﬁgure at right).

Step 4

If required, connect an alarm system to the transmitter’s

2-pole captive screw connector.

Step 5

To conﬁgure the transmitter and receiver using RS-232

commands, connect a control device to the three right poles

( ,Tx, and Rx), labeled RS-232 Remote, on the RS-232 captive

screw connector of the transmitter (see the ﬁgure at the bottom

of the page). Alternatively, the host device can be connected

through the front panel Conﬁg port or the corresponding ports on the receiver

(see step 13). These ports may also be used to conﬁgure the system with the

FOX Extender Windows®Control Program.

Step 6

To pass through RS-232 commands to remote devices, independently of the

FOX 2G Tx/Rx AV, use the three left poles (Tx, Rx, and ), labeled RS-232

Over Fiber. The ground is common for both sets of RS-232 signals. (See the

ﬁgure at right).

Step 7

Connect the 12 VDC power supply to the transmitter’s 2-pole captive screw connector. Do not

switch on the power supply.

Step 8

Connect the receiver to a low resolution video display using either the output BNC connectors

(component, S-video, or composite) or the 4-pin mini DIN (S-video only), as shown in the

ﬁgure at right.

Step 9

Connect the receiver’s audio output to a sound system, using the 5 pole, 3.5 mm captive screw

connector.

Step 10

If required, connect an alarm system to the receiver’s 2-pole

captive screw connector.

Step 11

Connect the ﬁber optic cable(s) from the transmitter to the back

of the receiver (see the ﬁgure below). Fiber optic link 1 connects

the Tx port of the transmitter to the Rx port of the receiver and

is essential for transmission of video, audio, and control signals

from the transmitter to the receiver. Fiber optic link 2 connects the Rx port of the transmitter

to the Tx port of the receiver. It is optional, but two-way communication from the Tx port of

the receiver is required to fully conﬁgure the system using RS-232 commands or FOX Extender

Windows Control Program.

Link 2 may be connected to another receiver in a daisy chain. In that case, there is no return

link to the transmitter.

Step 12

Connect an RS-232 control device to the 5-pole captive screw connector or the front panel

Conﬁg port of the receiver. These ports are an alternative to the transmitter ports (see steps 6

and 7).

NIf the RS-232 control device is connected to the receiver, ﬁber optic Link 2 is required to

conﬁgure the transmitter.

Step 13

Connect the 12 VDC power supply to the receiver’s 2-pole captive screw connector.

Step 14

Power up all devices and conﬁgure the system using the Simple Instruction Set (SIS™)

commands or FOX Extender Windows Control Program. Consult the user’s manual (available

online at www.extron.com) for more information about SIS commands and the Control

Program.
