Introduction
About this Manual
This manual contains installation, configuration, and operating information for the
Extron Fiber Matrix 6400 matrix switcher with user-replaceable singlemode fiber
optic I/O boards, multimode fiber optic I/O boards, and serial digital interface
(SDI) and high definition serial digital interface (HD-SDI) I/O boards.
N
The multimode and singlemode fiber optic I/O boards are physically and
functionally identical, with the exception of the effective range of transmission.
In this manual, any reference to fiber optic transmission applies to either
transmission mode unless otherwise specified.
About the Fiber Matrix 6400 Switcher
W
The Fiber Matrix 6400’s fiber optic I/O boards output continuous invisible
light, which may be harmful and dangerous to the eyes; use with caution.
•
Do not look into the rear panel fiber optic cable connectors or into the
fiber optic cables themselves.
•
Plug the attached dust caps into the optical transceivers when the fiber
optic cable is unplugged.
The Fiber Matrix 6400 (figure 1-1) is a configurable matrix switcher that distributes
optical and electrical signals. Fiber optic I/O boards route signals that are
compatible with all Extron FOX 500 fiber optic product lines. SDI/HD-SDI I/O
boards route SDI and HD-SDI signals. The matrix switcher routes any input signal
to any combination of outputs. An optical input can be tied to optical and/or
SDI/HD-SDI outputs and an SDI/HD-SDI input can be tied to SDI/HD-SDI
and/or optical outputs. The matrix switcher can route multiple input/output
configurations simultaneously.
