Quick Start Guide — FOX HD-SDI
The FOX HD-SDI is a transceiver that can function as a
transmitter and/or a receiver. At least two units are required
for a transmitter-receiver system with at least one fiber optic
cable linking each two units. The FOX HD-SDI is available in
single mode or multimode versions.

About the FOX HD-SDI
The Extron FOX HD-SDI product family consists of two models
(MM and SM) of high performance digital (HD-SDI, SDI, or
3G-SDI) video fiber optic transceivers. The transmitted signal
can include any audio or unidirectional serial data that is
embedded in the input video.
Do not look into the rear panel fiber optic
cable connectors or into the fiber optic cables,
themselves.
•
All transceivers in the system must be the same model (all
singlemode or all multimode).
N
Plug the attached dust caps into the optical
transceivers when the fiber optic cable is
unplugged.
•
Transceiver configurations
The transceiver can be configured via its rear panel Mode DIP
switches to operate in one of three ways:

A FOX HD-SDI that is configured as a transmitter (figure 1-3)
inputs digital video on its HD/SDI Input BNC. The transmitter
converts the video input to a proprietary signal and transmits
the video over a fiber link to a FOX HD-SDI that is configured as
a receiver or as a bidirectional transceiver. The transmitter also
simultaneously outputs the digital video on its two Buffered

Video output — The transceiver outputs digital video on one
or two Buffered SDI/HD-SDI BNC connectors when it is
configured as a bidirectional transceiver or a receiver.
Dual buffered outputs — When the FOX HD-SDI is configured

UL requirements
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirements
pertain to the installation of the FOX HD-SDI transmitter or
receiver into a rack (figure 2-1).
VersaTools Rack Shelf
1.
Elevated operating ambient temperature — If installed in
a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may be greater
than room ambient. Therefore, consider installing the
equipment in an environment compatible with the +122 °F
(50 °C) maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by
Extron.
1/4 Rack Width Front
False Faceplate
2.
3.
4.
Reduced air flow — Installation of the equipment in a rack
should be such that the amount of air flow required for
safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
Mechanical loading — Mounting of the equipment in
the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not
achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
Use 2 mounting holes on
opposite corners.
(2) 4-40 x 3/16"
Screws
Circuit overloading — Consideration should be given to
the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and
the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on
overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate
consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be
used when addressing this concern.
Figure 2-1 — Mounting the transceiver on a
VersaTools rack shelf
On the non-VersaTools rack shelves, the transceiver unit can be
mounted in the front or the rear of the rack.
5.
Reliable earthing (grounding) — Reliable earthing
of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
Particular attention should be given to supply connections
other than direct connections to the branch circuit (such as
the use of power strips).
1.
2.
If installed, remove the feet from the bottom of the unit.
Mount the unit on the shelf, using two 4-40 x 3/16" screws
in opposite (diagonal) corners to secure the unit to the
shelf.
3.
4.
Install false faceplate(s) or other unit(s) to the rack shelf.
Insert the shelf into the rack, aligning the holes in the shelf
with those of the rack.

Mount the unit under a desk or table as follows:
1.
2.
If rubber feet were previously installed on the bottom of
the unit, remove them.
Secure the under-desk mounting brackets to the
transceiver with the four machine screws provided in the
mounting kit (figure 2-3).
3.
4.
Hold the transceiver with attached brackets against the
underside of the desk or other furniture. Mark the location
of holes for screws on the desk.
Drill 1/4" (6.4 mm) deep, 3/32" (2 mm) diameter pilot
holes in the table or desk at the marked screw locations
from the underside or inside (the concealed side) of the
furniture, where the transceiver will be located.
5.
Insert the four wood screws into the pilot holes. Fasten
each screw into the installation surface until just less than
1/4" of the screw head protrudes.

PMK 300 mounting
Mount the transceiver to a PMK 300 bracket as follows:
1.
If necessary, remove the feet from the bottom of the
transceiver.
2.
Mount the transceiver to one of the bracket’s three
mounting plates using two of the supplied 4-40 x 3/16"
screws in opposite (diagonal) corners to secure the device
to the bracket. It can be vertically mounted facing either
up or down (figure 2-5).
On the side mounting plates, the device is typically

The length of the exposed (stripped) copper wires
is important. The ideal length is 3/16" (5 mm).
Longer bare wires can short together. Shorter wires

Do not tin the power supply leads before installing them

indicates that the FOX HD-SDI transceiver is receiving power.
Rate indicators — These LEDs light to indicate the detected
input video rate, either on the HD/SDI input BNC (if configured
as a transmitter) or on the Optical Rx connector (if configured as
a receiver or bidirectional transceiver). The recognized rates are
270 Mbps, 1.485 Gbps, or 2.97 Gbps.
When the Rate Unknown LED lights, this indicates that an input
is detected, either on the HD/SDI input BNC (if configured as
a transmitter) or on the Optical Rx connector (if configured as a
receiver or bidirectional transceiver), but that the FOX HD-SDI
does not recognize the rate.
All four Rate LEDs blink repeatedly if a fiber optic
connector module on the rear of the unit is unseated.
N
The FOX HD-SDI equalizes and distributes the input
whether it recognizes the rate or not.

Fiber Compatibility Indications
You must use the proper fiber cable for your transceivers.
Each transceiver indicates its fiber compatibility, singlemode or
multimode, at power-up by blinking the four Rate indicators.
• Multimode — The Rate LEDs blink once.
• Singlemode — The Rate LEDs blink twice.
To determine the fiber cable type, observe the cable jacket.
Typically, singlemode fiber cable has a yellow jacket and
multimode fiber cable has an orange jacket.
N
All transceivers in the system must be the same model (all
singlemode or all multimode). Mixed transmission mode
units will not work together.
