The Extron FOX Matrix 320x
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 16x16 up to
320x320 and is fully
compatible with the FOX
Series of fiber optic
transmitters and receivers.
It features high speed,
all-digital switching of
pixel-for-pixel DisplayPort,
HDMI, DVI, 3G-SDI, high
resolution computer-video,
and standard definition
video. Equipped with
integrator-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
320x delivers highly
reliable, enterprise-wide
switching of fiber optic AV
and control for
mission-critical
environments. |
•
I/O sizes from 16x16 to
320x320
• 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.
• 3G-SDI I/O board available
— The FOX Matrix 320x can be
configured with the FOX I/O
1616 HD-SDI board for local
connection to SDI-equipped
devices. This board provides
16x16 routing of incoming
signals up to 2.97 Gbps,
including 3G-SDI, HD-SDI,
and SDI. The FOX Matrix 320x
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 1616 HD-SDI board is
compliant with SMPTE 259M,
292M, 424M, and ITU digital
video standards.
• Multimode and singlemode
I/O boards available — The
FOX Matrix 320x is
configurable with a mix of
multimode and singlemode
versions of the FOX Matrix
I/O 1616 Boards, so that
both short and long haul
transmission can be
supported.
• Modular, field-upgradeable
and hot-swappable design —
The FOX Matrix 320x 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 of the
FOX Matrix 320x.
• Four redundant and
hot-swappable power supplies
— Two primary and two
back-up power supplies
provide added reliability
for critical applications.
• Secure Partitioning
segregates sources and
destinations in a secure
environment — Secure
Partitioning enables the FOX
Matrix 320x to be
partitioned into smaller
sub-switchers for
segregating sources and
destinations. Sources can
only be routed to
destinations within the same
partition.
• Priority Switching
prevents unauthorized access
to sensitive data in a
secure environment — Each
input and output is assigned
a security level. An output
can only be tied to an input
at the same security level
or lower, preventing
unauthorized access to
sensitive data in a secure
environment.
• Low power consumption for
efficient cooling, lower
costs, and longer life — The
FOX Matrix 320x 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 320x
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.
• 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 320x
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 FOX
Matrix 320x 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.
• 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 320x provides two
AC power inputs for
continuous connection to
both power sources.
• Selectable input and
output reclocking — Reshapes
and restores timing of the
digital signal at the
selected rate.
• Industry standard LC
connectors provide reliable
physical connectivity and
precise fiber core alignment
• Global presets —
Frequently used I/O
configurations may be saved
and recalled via serial or
Ethernet control. This
time-saving feature allows
I/O configurations to be set
up and stored in memory for
future use.
• 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.
• Rooming — The FOX Matrix
320x 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.
• Ethernet monitoring and
control — 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
320x 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
320x without having to
access the rear panel.
• Rack-mountable 17U, full
rack width metal enclosure |
