For pricing and configuration options please call or email us.

The Extron FOX 2G AV Fiber Optic Extender is a transmitter and receiver set for long haul transmission of standard definition video, audio, and RS-232 control signals over a single fiber. Engineered for reliability and exceptional video performance, it uses Extron's exclusive all digital, zero compression technology, to deliver perfect pixel-for-pixel transmission of video signals including component video, S-video, and composite video. Designed specifically for A/V systems, the FOX 2G AV also includes a host of integrator-friendly features such as picture and audio adjustments, daisy-chain capability, Auto Input Format Detection, rack-mount capability, and real-time system monitoring.

The FOX 2G AV is ideal for a wide range of applications requiring long distance transmission of video content with the highest quality. Because transmission of content is inherently secure and immune to outside interference, fiber applications are favored in government, military, and medical environments. The FOX 2G AV transmitter and receiver feature industry standard LC-type connectivity.

The FOX 2G AV MM supports multimode fiber at 850 nm, which is typically used within buildings or facilities with moderate-range transmission distances up to 500 m (1,640 feet). The FOX 2G AV SM supports singlemode as well as multimode fiber at 1310 nm. Singlemode fiber offers long-range transmission capability over extreme distances of up to 30 km (18.75 miles). It is used in very large facilities such as airports and stadiums, as well as connecting over very long distances between facilities such as university campuses.

Offering convenient integration into A/V systems, the FOX 2G AV transmitter accepts, digitizes, and transmits component video, S-video, or composite video signals, along with unbalanced or balanced stereo audio and RS-232 control signals. With Auto Input Format Detection, the transmitter detects the incoming video signal format, and then automatically reconfigures itself to transmit the signal. The FOX 2G AV receiver features video format conversion for component video, S-video, or composite video output. Several receivers may be daisy-chained to support applications with displays at multiple locations.

The transmitter and the receiver can be controlled and configured using the RS-232 port on the FOX 2G AV transmitter. With a second fiber link installed, functions for both units can be controlled at either location. Since the units are typically situated far apart, this capability adds considerable versatility, enabling verification of fiber link status between the units as well as the presence of video and audio input signals at the transmitter. The FOX 2G AV transmitter and receiver are housed in compact 1U, quarter rack width enclosures for convenient installation in many environments.

Extron FOX Rx AV MM Key Features

Receiver for standard definition video, stereo audio, and RS-232 control signals very long distances over a single fiber
Inputs: 2 LC connectors
Outputs: Component video, S-video, or composite video on BNCs; S-video on 4-pin mini DIN; balanced/unbalanced stereo audio on captive screw connector
Accepts component video, S-video, and composite video signals
All digital, zero compression technology provides pixel-for-pixel performance - The FOX 2G AV delivers uncompressed pixel-for-pixel transmission of video signals to ensure optimal image quality.
Auto Input Format Detection - The FOX 2G AV transmitter can be set to detect the incoming video signal format, automatically reconfiguring itself to transmit the signal. This feature can reduce the number of required outputs for a matrix switcher, lowering system cost while improving manageability.
Industry standard LC connectors provide reliable physical connectivity and precise fiber core alignment
Picture and audio adjustments - Several picture adjustments are available including color, tint, contrast, and brightness. Audio adjustments include input gain and attenuation, and output level. Both audio and video can be muted.
Internal transcoding with selectable output format - At the FOX 2G AV receiver, incoming video signals can be transcoded to component video, S-video, or composite video.
Daisy-chain capability - Several FOX 2G AV receivers can be daisy-chained so that displays in multiple locations can be served from a single transmitter.
Available as an 850 nm multimode model for moderate-range transmissions, and a 1310 nm singlemode model for extreme distances up to 30 km (18.75 miles)
Second fiber link enables bidirectional RS-232 pass-through, control from either location, and real-time system monitoring
Audio gain & attenuation adjustment and muting capability
RS-232 control at transmitter and receiver - The FOX 2G AV transmitter and receiver feature front and rear panel RS-232 serial ports for control and configuration. The second fiber link allows for control of both units at either location, as well as remote verification of fiber link status and the presence of input video and audio signals.
Real-time status LED indicators for troubleshooting and monitoring - LEDs on the transmitter and receiver front panels verify the presence of video and audio signals at the transmitter as well as active fiber links between the units. Requires second fiber link.
Alarm notification for fiber link loss - The FOX 2G AV can be set up to trigger an external control system for immediate notification when a fiber link has been lost. Requires second fiber link.
Rack-mountable 1U, quarter rack width metal enclosures
External universal power supply included, replacement part # 70-775-01 - Provides worldwide power compatibility.
