SDI/HD-SDI Switchers |
| The Extron FOX Matrix 3200 is a high performance, modular fiber optic matrix switcher for complete, end-to-end digital AV signal transmission and routing over fiber optic cable. The matrix
switcher is expandable from 8x8 up to 32x32, and is fully compatible with FOX Series transmitters and receivers. It features very high speed, all-digital switching of pixel-for-pixel DisplayPort, HDMI, DVI, 3G-SDI, high resolution
computer-video, and standard definition video. Equipped with the integration-friendly features common to Extron matrix switchers, together with hot-swappable I/O boards and fan, real-time system monitoring, and redundant,
hot-swappable power supplies, the FOX Matrix 3200 delivers highly reliable, enterprise-wide switching of fiber optic AV and control signals for mission-critical environments. |
•
I/O sizes from 8x8 to 32x32
• Compatible with Extron FOX Series distribution amplifiers and switchers
• Compatible with all Extron FOX Series transmitters and receivers
• SpeedSwitch® Technology provides exceptional switching speed for HDCP-encrypted content
• Integrates easily into a wide range of 4K and UHD environments — FOX Series matrix switchers and extenders can be configured for use with 4K sources and displays with resolutions up to 4096x2160.
• Multimode and singlemode I/O boards available — The FOX Matrix 3200 is configurable with a mix of multimode and singlemode versions of the FOX I/O 88 boards, so that both short and long haul transmission can be supported.
• 3G-SDI I/O board available — The matrix switcher can be configured with the FOX I/O 88 HD-SDI board for local connection to SDI-equipped devices. This board provides 8x8 routing of incoming signals up to 2.97 Gbps, including 3G-SDI,
HD-SDI, and SDI. The FOX Matrix 3200 can be configured as a fully dedicated 3G-SDI matrix switcher, or a combination of SDI and fiber optic matrix switching. The FOX I/O 88 HD-SDI board is compliant with SMPTE 259M, 292M, 424M,
and ITU digital video standards.
• IModular, field-upgradeable and hot-swappable design — The FOX Matrix 3200 provides substantial flexibility, expandability, and affordability by allowing users to select the configuration required for their systems. Additional input
and output boards may be added at any time for easy and quick upgradeability or expansion. Hot-swappable components allow the user to replace an I/O board, fan assembly, or power supply at any time without the need to power down the
switcher. This is especially useful for mission-critical applications that require continuous operation.
• Dual redundant and hot-swappable power supplies — Primary and back-up power supplies provide added reliability for critical applications.
• Low power consumption for efficient cooling, lower costs, and longer life — The FOX Matrix 3200 features an energy-efficient design for simpler cooling, lower energy costs, and extended life. Through efficiency of design and the
careful selection of high quality, long-life electronic components, an all optical, fully-loaded FOX Matrix 3200 draws less power than comparable fiber optic matrix switchers. Low power consumption equates to less heat generation,
which translates to a lower cost of ownership and an increased product lifespan.
• Video genlock — When used with the FOX I/O 88 HD-SDI board, separate bi-level and tri-level references are provided for correct vertical interval switch timing for SDI and HD-SDI signals.
• Advanced computer-aided diagnostics — Provide 24-hour self-diagnostics of input/output boards, primary and redundant power supply voltages, fiber links, and overall functional status of the matrix. Using the Ethernet or RS-232/RS-422
communications port, status monitoring is possible for off-site or unmanned locations, such as government, military, medical, or any other sensitive, 24/7 environments.
• Input fiber link detection — The FOX Matrix 3200 verifies active light sources by polling all connections for input reception and output transmission. The resulting information is viewable within the internal Web pages, and is easily
obtained by AV control systems.
• Status LED indicators for fiber link and reclocking status — LEDs on each I/O board verify active fiber links with the transmitters and receivers.
• Alarm notification for fiber link loss — The matrix switcher can be set up to trigger an external control system, or generate e-mail alerts, for immediate notification when an inbound fiber link has been lost.
• Selectable input and output reclocking — Reshapes and restores timing of the digital signal at the selected rate.
• Two AC power inputs — For added power reliability, some 24-hour environments require two separate AC power sources, one as the primary source and the second for redundancy. The FOX Matrix 3200 provides two AC power inputs for continuous
connection to both power sources.
• Industry standard LC connectors provide reliable physical connectivity and precise fiber core alignment
• QS-FPC™ - QuickSwitch Front Panel Controller with tri-color backlit buttons — Provides a discrete button for each input and output, allowing for simple, intuitive operation. Buttons can be custom labeled for easy identification. The
buttons illuminate red, green, or amber, depending on function, for ease of use in low-light environments.
• View I/O mode — Users can easily view which inputs and outputs are actively connected, from the front panel, RS-232 or RS-422 serial port, or Ethernet port.
• I/O grouping — Allows the matrix switcher to be virtually divided into smaller sub-switchers, making installation and control easier. I/O grouping allows specific outputs, like those designated for a specific video format, to be
grouped together.
• Rooming — The FOX Matrix 3200 can be configured to group selected outputs into specific "rooms," each with its own set of unique presets. A total of 10 rooms, with 10 presets per room, are available.
• Global presets — Frequently used I/O configurations may be saved and recalled from the QS-FPC - QuickSwitch Front Panel Controller, serial, or Ethernet control. This time-saving feature allows I/O configurations to be set up and
stored in memory for future use.
• Front panel security lockout — Prevents unauthorized use in non-secure environments. In lockout mode, a special button combination is required to operate the switcher from the front panel controller.
• Extron control software — For serial or Ethernet remote control from a PC, the included Windows®-based control software features a graphical, drag-and-drop interface to make I/O configuration and other customization functions simple and
convenient. This software also offers an emulation mode for configuration of an offsite matrix switcher; the I/O configuration may then be saved for future downloading to the matrix switcher.
• Ethernet monitoring and control — The FOX Matrix 3200 can be proactively monitored and managed over a LAN, WAN, or the Internet, using standard TCP/IP protocols. Ethernet control provides for remote selection of input and output
ties, system set-up and configuration, and advanced system diagnostics.
• SNMP support for remote monitoring
• RS-232 and RS-422 control port — Using serial commands, the FOX Matrix 3200 can be controlled and configured via the included Windows-based control software, or integrated into a control system. Extron products use the SIS™ -
Simple Instruction Set command protocol, a set of basic ASCII code commands that allow for quick and easy programming. The RS-232 and RS-422 port also makes it easy to install firmware updates.
• Front panel configuration port — A front panel serial port allows easy accessibility for configuring the FOX Matrix 3200 without having to access the rear panel.
• Rack-mountable 4U, full rack width metal enclosure
