Application Diagrams

The PowerCage FOX AEX 104 can be used anywhere local audio-only outputs are required: 
before a FOX matrix switcher for independent processing of source audio signals by a DSP 
processor or after a FOX matrix switcher for routing to audio amplifiers or a DSP processor. 
Each audio extraction point works independently. The following are examples of typical 
integrations of the PowerCage FOX AEX 104 in fiber optic systems.

NOTES:

 

 The extraction points in all three applications work independently.

• 

Transmission of HDMI video with HDCP content requires two fibers.

Point-to-point Application

In systems without a fiber matrix switcher, the PowerCage FOX AEX 104 can be incorporated 
between the fiber transceiver and the fiber receiver (see figure 1).
