NOTES:
•
Analog audio signals are digitized in a fiber optic transmitter, sent through the fiber calbe to the matrix
switcher, then the PowerCage FOX AEX 104, and converted back to analog audio in the PowerCage
FOX AEX 104 or the receiver.
•
These units are class 1 laser products. They meet the safety regulations of IEC-60825,
FDA 21 CFR 1040.10, and FDA 21 CFR 1040.11.
•
The PowerCage FOX AEX 104 is not compatible with the FOX 3G HD-SDI extender or the FOX 3G DVC
signal converter.
