About the FOXBOX Tx/Rx Transmitters and Receivers
The FOXBOX family consists of the following ultra-high performance fiber optic transmitters
and receivers:
•
FOXBOX Tx VGA transmitter — Accepts an analog RGB video input, an audio input,
and an RS-232 serial input and outputs a proprietary optical signal on an LC connector
to a FOXBOX or FOX 500 receiver. It also can receive a proprietary optical signal from the
receiver consisting of the RS-232 return from a controlled device.
•
FOXBOX Tx VGA/YUV transmitter — Similar to the FOXBOX Tx VGA, but with the
ability to support bi-level and tri-level YUV formats such as the 480p, 576p, 720p,
1080i, and 1080p HDTV rates. It can also accept RGBHV video.
•
FOXBOX Rx VGA receiver — Accepts a proprietary optical signal on an LC connector
from a FOXBOX (except FOXBOX Tx DVI Plus) or FOX 500 transmitter or daisy-chained
receiver and outputs analog RGB or component video, audio, and RS-232 serial
commands. It also can either:
•
Receive an RS-232 return from a controlled device and send it to the transmitter via
a proprietary optical signal.
•
Output a daisy-chained signal to another receiver.
•
FOXBOX Tx DVI Plus transmitter — Accepts a single link of DVI video input (up
to 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz), an audio input, and an RS-232 serial input and outputs a
proprietary optical signal on an LC connector to a FOXBOX Rx DVI Plus receiver only. It
also can receive a proprietary optical signal from the receiver consisting of the RS-232
return from a controlled device.
•
FOXBOX Rx DVI Plus receiver — Accepts a proprietary optical signal on an LC
