I/O Configuration Tab

Output Configuration panel

Sync Format radio buttons

 (see figure 21, 

1

) — The FOXBOX receiver outputs RGBHV 

or RGsB video (depending on the input to the transmitter) only. The radio buttons in this area 
have no effect on the FOXBOX receiver. See the 

FOX 500 User Guide

 or the 

PowerCage 

FOX User Guide

 if you are using one of those products to receive the fiber optic signal, as 

the video output of those products can be configured.

Output Polarity radio buttons

input

 

sync

 or 

Force

 

sync

 

to

 

negative

 radio button to select the desired video output sync polarity.

NOTE:

  When you make output configuration changes, the setting is changed in the 

receiver. It reports the changes to the transmitter via the optional receiver-Tx-to-
transmitter-Rx cable.
If the PC is connected to the transmitter 

and

 

either

 the receiver-Tx-to-transmitter-Rx 

cable is not connected in your system 

or

 the receiver is in the daisy chain mode, the 

program cannot report the output sync format and polarity position settings in the 

Video

 

Adjustment

 panel. You can change the output sync format and polarity, but the 

program cannot report the changes.

Video Shutdown Delay panel

NOTE:

• 

Video

 

Shutdown

 

Delay

 is available only for receiver connections.

• 

The receiver front panel DIP switch 2 must be on (up) for this command to function.

The video shutdown delay feature mutes the output for a variable period of time when the 
unit detects a change in the input pixel clock, preventing glitches when the input video 
signal resolution changes. The 

Video

 

Shutdown

 

Delay

 drop-down menu (

3

)

 

allows you to 

change the interval. 0.5 second is the default value.

Plus Mode Transmission panel

NOTE:

 

Plus

 

Mode

 

Transmission

 is available for FOXBOX Tx DVI Plus units only, with a 

firmware revision of 3.00 or higher.

The

 transmission mode (

DDC/EDID Resolution panel

The

Resolution

 panel lets you set the DDC/EDID resolution and refresh rate (
