WARNING: The FOXBOX T HD-SDI outputs continuous invisible light (Class 1 rated), which may be harmful to the eyes; use with caution. Plug the attached dust cap into the optical transceiver when the fiber optic cable is unplugged.
- Ensure that you use the proper fiber cable for your transmitter/receiver pair. Typically, singlemode fiber has a yellow jacket and multimode cable has an orange or aqua jacket.
- Only one fiber optic cable, transmitter Tx to receiver Rx, is required for video, audio, and serial command transmission. But, if you connect only one fiber optic cable, or if the connected receiver is configured to daisy-chain the optical signal, system functionality is reduced. You will not receive RS-232 reports from the controlled device. To receive responses from the controlled device and for full functionality, you need to install both fiber optic cables and leave the connected receiver in normal configuration (see the User Guide for the connected receiver).
1e Tx (required) — For all one-way video, audio, and serial communications from the transmitter to the receiver, connect a fiber optic cable to the Tx LC connector.
Connect the opposite end of this fiber optic cable to the Rx connector on a compatible receiver.
2e Rx (optional) — Connect a fiber optic cable for all one-way return serial communications from the receiver to the transmitter.
Connect the opposite end of this fiber optic cable to the Tx connector on a compatible receiver in normal configuration (see the User Guide for the connected receiver).

Figure 3 shows how to wire the connector. Use the supplied tie-wrap to strap the power cord to the extended tail of the connector.
Figure 3. Power Connector Wiring
CAUTION:
ATTENTION :
- The length of exposed wires is important. The ideal length is 3/16 inch (5 mm).
- Any longer and the exposed wires may touch, causing a short circuit.
- Any shorter and the wires can be easily pulled out even if tightly fastened by the captive screws.
- Do not tin the power supply leads before installing them in the connector. Tinned wires are not as secure in the connector and could be pulled out.
To verify the polarity before connection, plug in the power supply with no load and check the output with a voltmeter.
RS-232 connector wiring
Figure 4 shows how to wire the RS-232 connector.

- The transmitter equalizes and distributes the input whether it recognizes the rate or not.
C Audio indicator — Indicates that the transmitter is detecting a digital or analog audio input.
Operation
After the transmitter, the connected receiver, and their connected devices are powered up, the system is fully operational. If any problems are encountered, verify that the cables are routed and connected properly, and that the display device has the proper resolution and refresh rate selected. If your problems persist, call the Extron S3 Sales & Technical Support Hotline. See the contact numbers at the end of this guide for the Extron office nearest you.
To take advantage of the various adjustments and test patterns available in the transmitter, you need to connect a computer or other USB device to the front panel Configuration port on either unit and operate using SIS commands (see Programming Guide, beginning on the next page).
Programming Guide
This section describes the remote operation of the FOXBOX T HD-SDI Transmitter via Simple Instruction Set control, including:
- Configuration Port
• Host-to-Transmitter Communications
• Unit-initiated Messages - Error Responses
- Timeout
• Using the Command and Response Table
Configuration Port
A connected computer can communicate with the transmitter via the front panel Configuration port, a USB mini-B port (see item A, on page 8). A standard USB cable can be used for remote control of the transmitter. The USB cable must be terminated on one end with a USB mini-B male connector.
Host-to-Transmitter Communications
SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are required to begin or end a command character sequence. When a command is valid, the switcher executes the command and sends a response to the host device. All responses from the switcher to the host end with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ←), which signals the end of the response character string. A string is one or more characters.
Unit-initiated Messages
When a local event, such as an equipment power-up, occurs, the unit responds by sending a message to the host. The unit-initiated messages are listed below:
(c) Copyright 20yy, Extron Electronics FOXBOX T HD-SDI, Vx.xx, 60-xxx-xx
The connected unit issues the appropriate copyright message (above) when it first powers on. Vx.xx is the firmware version number; 60-xxx-xx is the part number of the connected unit.
2LnkX10•RteX11•AudI X12•T←
The unit sends the status message whenever there is a change in input video, input audio, or the fiber link. X10, X11, and X12 are defined starting on the next page.
Error Responses
When the transmitter receives a valid SIS command, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. If the transmitter is unable to execute the command because the command is invalid or it contains invalid parameters, the transmitter returns an error response to the host. The error response codes are:
E10 - Invalid command
E13 — Invalid parameters
E14 — Not valid for this configuration
E17 — Invalid command for signal type
E22 — Busy
Timeout
Pauses of 10 seconds or longer between command ASCII characters result in a timeout. The command operation is aborted with no other indication.

Equipment Mounting
This section provides procedures for mounting the FOXBOX T HD-SDI transmitter.
Mounting the Transmitter
ATTENTION:
The 1-inch high, quarter rack width transmitter can be placed on a table, mounted in a rack, or mounted under a desk or table.
Tabletop Use
Affix the included rubber feet to the bottom of the unit and place it in any convenient location.
Mounting kits
Mount the unit using any optional compatible mounting kit listed on the Extron website (www.extron.com), in accordance with the directions included with the kit. For rack mounting, see "UL Rack-Mounting Guidelines," below.
UL Rack-Mounting Guidelines
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirements pertain to the installation of the unit into a rack.
- 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 maximum ambient temperature (TMA = +122 °F, +50 °C) specified by Extron.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 use of power strips).
