SDI/HD-SDI Switchers |
| The Extron FOX Matrix 7200 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 72x72, 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 7200 delivers highly reliable,
enterprise-wide switching of fiber optic AV and control signals for
mission-critical environments. |
•
I/O sizes from 8x8 to 72x72
• 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 7200 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 FOX Matrix 7200 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 matrix switcher 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.
• Modular, field-upgradeable and hot-swappable design — The FOX Matrix 7200
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 7200 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 7200 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 7200 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 7200 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 7200 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
• 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 7200 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 FOX Matrix 7200.
• Ethernet monitoring and control — The FOX Matrix 7200 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 7200
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 7200 without having to access the
rear panel.
• Rack-mountable 8U, full rack width metal enclosure |
