DESCRIPTION FEATURES The Extron FOXBOX VGA Fiber Optic Extender is a transmitter A Extends VGA, stereo audio, and RS-232 control signals very and receiver set for long haul transmission of high resolution VGA, long distances over a single fiber audio, and RS-232 control signals over a single fiber. Engineered A All digital technology provides pixel-for-pixel performance with for reliability and exceptional high resolution image performance, signals up to 1600x1200 – The FOXBOX VGA delivers it uses Extron’s exclusive all digital technology, to deliver perfect pixel-for-pixel transmission of video signals to ensure optimal image pixel-for-pixel transmission of computer-video images up to UXGA quality at resolutions up to UXGA (1600x1200). Signal resolutions (1600x1200) resolution. Designed specifically for A/V systems, the higher than UXGA can be accommodated, but will not be sampled FOXBOX VGA also includes a host of integrator-friendly features such at a 1:1 pixel ratio. as image adjustments and calibration, auto input memory, RS-232 A Daisy-chain capability – Several FOXBOX VGA receivers can be control from multiple locations, internal test patterns, and real-time daisy-chained so that displays in multiple locations can be served system monitoring. Compact, low profile enclosures allow for discreet from a single transmitter. installation behind a flat-panel display, and multiple receivers can be A Available as an 850 nm multimode model for moderate-range daisy-chained. transmissions, and a 1310 nm singlemode model for extreme distances up to 30 km (18.75 miles) The FOXBOX VGA is ideal for a wide range of applications requiring A Real-time status LED indicators for troubleshooting and long distance transmission of high resolution content with the monitoring – LEDs on the transmitter and receiver front panels highest quality. Because transmission of content is inherently secure verify the presence of RGB and audio signals at the transmitter as and immune to outside interference, fiber applications are favored well as active fiber links between the units.

Requires second which is typically used within buildings or facilities with moderate- fiber link. range transmission distances up to 150 meters (492 feet). The A Auto Input Memory – When activated, the FOXBOX VGA FOXBOX VGA SM supports singlemode as well as multimode fiber at automatically stores size, position, and detail information based on 1310 nm. Singlemode fiber offers long-range transmission capability the incoming signal. When the same signal is detected again, these over extreme distances of up to 30 km (18.75 miles). It is used in very image settings are automatically recalled from memory. large facilities such as airports and stadiums, as well as connecting A Industry standard LC connectors provide reliable physical over very long distances between facilities such as university connectivity and precise fiber core alignment campuses. A 30 user memory presets – In addition to Auto Memory, 30 user memory presets are available for saving and recall of size, position, The FOXBOX VGA transmitter accepts, digitizes, and transmits all and detail information for multiple incoming sources. The ability to RGB format signals – RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, and RsGsBs, along with save and recall presets is useful in switcher-based environments. unbalanced stereo audio and RS-232 control signals. The transmitter A Audio gain & attenuation adjustment and muting capability also provides controls for optimizing video and audio signals. The A RS-232 serial control at transmitter and receiver – FOXBOX VGA receiver features sync format conversion for RGBHV The FOXBOX VGA transmitter and receiver feature RS-232 serial or RGsB output. Several receivers may be daisy-chained to support ports for control and configuration. The second fiber link allows for applications with displays in multiple locations. When paired with the control of both units at either location, as well as remote verification FOXBOX VGA/YUV transmitter, the FOXBOX Rx VGA receiver output of fiber link status and the presence of input VGA and audio signals. follows the input format, RGBHV or HD component. A Internal test patterns for calibration and setup – Three test At the FOXBOX VGA transmitter, both transmitter and receiver can be patterns are available, including grayscale, color bars, and controlled and configured through RS-232. With a second fiber link alternating pixels. installed, functions for both units can be controlled at either location. ™ A Auto-Image automatically optimizes output – The Since the units are typically situated far apart, this capability adds FOXBOX VGA can automatically adjust the sizing, centering, and considerable versatility, enabling adjustment and calibration of video filtering to optimize the output image. This can save time and effort and audio at the receiver. It also allows for verification of fiber link in fine tuning displayed images. Requires second fiber link. status between the units as well as the presence of VGA and audio A Compatible with FOXBOX DVI and FOX 500 DVI transmitter input signals at the transmitter. and receiver – Enables ultra-long distance DVI-to-analog RGB and analog RGB-to-DVI conversion without the need for extra signal DVI-to-Analog RGB and Analog RGB-to-DVI Conversion conversion devices. The FOXBOX VGA transmitter and receiver are available separately. A 1" (2.5 cm) high, quarter rack width metal enclosures – With a Either device can be paired with the FOXBOX DVI or FOX 500 DVI low profile enclosure, both devices can be discreetly installed, such transmitter or receiver to provide ultra-long distance conversion of as behind a plasma or LCD flat-panel display. DVI-D signals to analog RGB and vice versa. A Energy-efficient external universal power supply included – Provides worldwide compatibility, low power consumption, and reduced operating costs.
