Daisy chain connection
PowerCage FOX Rx AV receivers have a loop-out mode that allows a signal to be passed
from the receiver along a daisy chain of to up to ten receivers, with a display device
attached to each receiver. The loop-out mode is set using RS-232 commands (see the
Daisy
Chain
command
in the “SIS Control” section) or the FOX Extenders control
program (refer to the program help file) for more information.
All receivers in the daisy chain must be compatible; that is, they must all be SM or all be
MM models, connected with the appropriate fiber optic cables. Each receiver receives a
signal at its Rx fiber optic port and passes the signal to the next unit through its Tx port.
NOTES:
•
In daisy chain mode, the Tx port is used to pass audio and video signals
to the next receiver in the daisy chain. As a result, the Tx port is not
available for bidirectional communication and there are limitations on
system configuration with SIS commands.
•
When multiple receivers are in daisy chain mode, RS-232 commands
issued through the transmitter are passed to every receiver; however,
commands issued through a receiver apply only to that receiver.
Configuring each receiver independently matches each output signal to
the unique needs of the display device.
