About the FOX 3G HD-SDI
The Extron FOX 3G HD-SDI product family consists of three models (P SM, SM, and MM)
of high performance digital (HD-SDI, SDI, or 3G-SDI) video fiber optic transceivers. The
transmitted signal can include any audio or unidirectional serial data that is embedded in the
input video.
NOTE:
All transceivers in the system must be the same model (all singlemode, all
singlemode pathologically compliant, or all multimode).
Transceiver Configurations
The transceiver can be configured via its rear panel Mode DIP switches to operate in one of
three ways:
•
Bidirectional transceiver
•
Transmitter
•
Receiver
NOTE:
See
item
