FOX 500 DVI
Fiber Optic Extender for DVI, Audio, and RS-232
FeAtures
• Extends single link DVI-D, stereo audio, and RS-232 control signals very long
distances over a single fiber
• Inputs: DVI-I connector with buffered input loop-through, unbalanced stereo audio
on 3.5 mm stereo mini jack, and balanced/unbalanced stereo audio on captive
screw connector - FOX 500 DVI Tx
• Outputs: DVI-I connector, unbalanced stereo audio on 3.5 mm stereo mini jack,
and balanced stereo audio on captive screw connector - FOX 500 DVI Rx
• All digital, zero compression technology provides pixel-for-pixel performance with
signals up to 1600x1200, including HDTV 1080p/60 — The FOX 500 DVI delivers
uncompressed pixel-for-pixel transmission of video signals to ensure optimal image
quality at resolutions up to UXGA (1600x1200), including HDTV 1080p/60.
• EDID emulation mode — The FOX 500 DVI transmitter provides a selector for
specifying the rate of the incoming DVI signal. EDID emulation mode allows proper
operation when no local monitor is present.
• Buffered DVI input loop-through — A buffered DVI input loop-through on the
FOX 500 DVI transmitter provides an output signal to drive a local monitor.
• Industry standard LC connectors provide reliable physical connectivity and
precise fiber core alignment
• Alarm notification for fiber link loss — The FOX 500 DVI can be set up to trigger
an external control system for immediate notification when a fiber link has been lost.
Requires second fiber link.
• 850 nm multimode and 1310 nm singlemode models available
• Second fiber link enables bi-directional RS-232 pass-through, control from either
location, and real-time system monitoring
• Dual stereo audio outputs
• 30 user memory presets — When paired with the FOX 500 transmitter for sending
analog RGB signals, these presets on the FOX 500 DVI receiver are available for saving
and recall of size, position, and detail information for multiple incoming sources. The
ability to save and recall presets is useful in switcher-based environments.
• Active PC audio to balanced audio interfacing
• Audio gain & attenuation adjustment and muting capability
• RS-232 serial control at transmitter and receiver — The FOX 500 DVI 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 DVI and
audio signals.
• Internal test patterns for calibration and setup — Three test patterns are available,
including grayscale, color bars, and alternating pixels.
• Auto-Image ™ automatically optimizes output — When paired with the FOX 500
transmitter for sending analog RGB signals, a press of a button on the FOX 500 DVI receiver
automatically adjusts the sizing, centering, and filtering to optimize the output image. This
can save time and effort in fine tuning displayed images. Requires second fiber link.

• Real-time status LED indicators for troubleshooting and monitoring — LEDs on the
transmitter and receiver front panels verify the presence of DVI and audio signals at the
transmitter as well as active fiber links between the units. Requires second fiber link.
• Front panel security lockout — This feature locks out all front panel functions; all
functions however, are available through RS-232 control.
• Compatible with FOX 500 transmitter and receiver and FOX 500 DA6
transmitter/distribution amplifier — Enables ultra-long distance DVI-to-analog RGB
and analog RGB-to-DVI conversion without the need for extra signal conversion devices.
• Rack-mountable 1U, half rack width metal enclosures
• Internal international power supply — The 100-240VAC, 50/60 Hz, universal power
supply provides worldwide power compatibility.
descriptiOn
The Extron FOX 500 DVI Fiber Optic Extender is a transmitter and receiver set for 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's exclusive all
digital, zero compression technology to deliver perfect pixel-for-pixel transmission of computer-
video images up to UXGA (1600x1200) resolution, including HDTV 1080p/60. Designed
specifically for A/V systems, the FOX 500 DVI also includes a host of integrator-friendly features
such as an EDID emulation mode, buffered input loop-through, RS-232 control from multiple
locations, rack-mount capability, and real-time system monitoring.
The FOX 500 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 FOX 500 DVI transmitter and receiver feature industry
standard LC-type connectivity.
The FOX 500 DVI MM supports multimode fiber at 850 nm, which is typically used within
buildings or facilities with moderate-range transmission distances up to 150 meters (492 feet).
The FOX 500 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, and for connecting
over very long distances between facilities such as university campuses.
For convenient integration into A/V systems, the FOX 500 DVI transmitter accepts and digitizes
unbalanced or balanced stereo audio and RS-232 control signals, and transmits them along with
the DVI-D signals. The transmitter also includes a buffered input loop-through for viewing
DVI video on a local monitor. An EDID emulation mode ensures proper communication with the
DVI source when no local monitor is present.
Note: The FOX 500 DVI does not support transmission of DVI signals with HDCP - High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection.
