Extron electronics PowerCage FOX 4G Tx DVI Manuals

This guide provides instructions for an experienced installer to set up and operate the Extron® PowerCage FOX 4G Tx/Rx DVI and PowerCage FOX 4G Tx/Rx VGA fiber optic video and audio extenders. NOTES: PowerCage transmitters (Txs) can output signals to any PowerCage Fox 4G, FOXBOX 4G, or FOX 500 VGA or DVI device. PowerCage receivers (Rxs) can accept signals from any PowerCage 4G, FOXBOX 4G, or FOX 500 VGA or DVI device. Installation Step 1 — Mounting Install the Tx, Rx, or both in PowerCage enclosures as required. NOTES: • PowerCage boards are hot-swappable. • Ensure the boards are flush with the rear of the enclosure and the screws tightened securely before applying power. Step 2 — Input and Output Connections a. Connect an RGB or DVI video source to the Input connector on the transmitter. b. Connect an RGB or DVI display to the Output connector on the receiver. c. Connect a balanced or unbalanced, stereo or mono audio input to the transmitter via the Audio Input captive screw connector and a balanced or unbalanced stereo or mono audio device to the receiver via the Audio Output captive screw connector. See the drawing below. Unbalanced Stereo Output Balanced Stereo Output L R Ring Sleeve(s) Tip Tip Ring L R Sleeve(s) L R L R Tip Tip NO GROUND HERE. NO GROUND HERE. Unbalanced Stereo Input Balanced Stereo Input Ring Sleeve (s) Tip Sleeve Tip Sleeve Tip Tip Ring Do not tin the wires! CAUTION: For unbalanced audio, connect the sleeves to the ground contact. DO NOT connect the sleeves to the negative (-) contacts). d. If you want the PowerCage FOX 4G units to pass serial data or control signals, such as for serial control of a RS-232 OVER FIBER Tx Rx projector, connect the master device to the transmitter and the slave device to the receiver via the first three poles of the RS-232 Over Fiber captive screw connectors on both units. NOTE: For RS-232 responses (from the receiver to the transmitter), you must install the cable in step 2d and leave the receiver in normal configuration. e. For serial control of the transmitter and receiver, connect a host device, such as a computer, to the Remote RS-232 1 2 REMOTE RS-232 Tx Rx ALARM port on either unit via three poles (Tx, Rx, and _) of the Remote RS-232/Alarm 5-pole captive screw connector on either unit. The protocol for these ports is as follows: • 9600 baud • no parity • 8 data bits • 1 stop bit • no flow control Refer to the PowerCage FOX 4G Tx/Rx User Guide for detailed information about using the Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) commands and the Windows®-based FOX Extender program to set up and operate the transmitter and receiver and to take advantage of the various adjustments and test patterns available on the PowerCage FOX 4G units. f. For remote monitoring of the status of the Rx optical link on either the transmitter or receiver, connect a locally 1 2 REMOTE RS-232 Tx Rx ALARM constructed or obtained device to the two Alarm poles of the Remote RS-232/Alarm 5-pole captive screw connector on that unit. The two poles are shorted together when no light is detected.
