The Extron FOXBOX Tx DVI Fiber Optic Transmitter provides long haul transmission of DVI, audio, and RS-232 control signals over a single fiber. Engineered for reliability and exceptional high resolution image performance, it uses Extron all-digital technology to deliver perfect pixel-for-pixel transmission of DVI computer-video images up to UXGA 1600x1200 resolution, including HDTV 1080p/60. Designed specifically for AV systems, the FOXBOX Tx DVI includes many integrator-friendly features such as an EDID emulation mode, RS-232 control, and real-time system monitoring. A compact, low profile enclosure allows for discreet installation.

The FOXBOX Tx DVI is part of the extensive FOX Series of fiber optic products from Extron and is compatible with FOX Series HDMI, DVI Plus, DVI, and VGA receivers. It can be used for simple point-to-point applications or in combination with FOX Series distribution amplifiers, switchers, and matrix switchers to handle the most challenging AV system designs, from a simple conference room to an enterprise-wide fiber optic distribution system.

The FOXBOX Tx DVI is ideal for a wide range of applications requiring long distance transmission of high resolution 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 transmitter features industry standard LC-type connectivity.

The transmitter is available in two versions, multimode and singlemode. The FOXBOX Tx DVI MM supports multimode fiber at 850 nm, which is typically used within buildings or facilities with moderate-range transmission distances. The FOXBOX Tx DVI 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.

The FOXBOX Tx DVI transmitter accepts and digitizes unbalanced stereo audio and RS-232 control signals for transmission along with the DVI-D signals. EDID emulation ensures that the transmitter properly communicates with the DVI source.

A FOXBOX Tx DVI and its corresponding receiver can be controlled and configured using the RS-232 port on the transmitter. With a second fiber link installed, functions for both the transmitter and a receiver can be controlled from either location. Since the units are typically situated far apart, this capability adds considerable versatility, enabling adjustment and calibration of audio at the receiver. It also allows for verification of fiber link status between the units as well as the presence of DVI-D and audio input signals at the transmitter.

DVI-to-Analog RGB Conversion

The FOXBOX Tx DVI transmitter is ideal for AV systems that include a variety of digital and analog displays and sources. Pairing the transmitter with a FOX Series VGA receiver provides easy conversion of DVI-D to analog RGB signals.
