Details
Extron FOX I/O 1616 HD-SDI (part number 70-966-01) — a 16x16 3G-SDI, HD-SDI and SDI input/output board for Extron FOX Matrix modular switchers.
Unlike the fiber cards in the same family, this board terminates in coax: sixteen female BNC inputs and sixteen female BNC outputs on one slot. It lets a FOX Matrix 320x or FOX Matrix 14400 accept and deliver baseband serial digital video directly, so a fiber routing plant and local SDI gear can live inside a single frame. Data rates up to 2.97 Gbps are locked automatically, incoming signals are equalized on arrival, and outputs are reclocked — or bypassed when a nonstandard rate has to pass untouched. Each input and output is individually buffered.
Key Capabilities
- 16 single link SDI, HD-SDI or 3G-SDI inputs and outputs — or 8 dual link HD-SDI per board
- 32 female BNC terminations per card, 75 ohms, 0.80 Vp-p nominal
- Automatic data rate lock up to 2.97 Gbps with 8 or 10 bit data
- SDI input runs to 1230 ft (357 m) on Extron RG6 or Belden 1694A cable
- Immune to pathological signals, including SMPTE RP 178 and RP 198 test patterns
- Compliant with SMPTE 292M, 259M, 297-2006 and 424M plus ITU-RBT.601 and ITU-RBT.1120
Where It Is Used
This card is the bridge between a fiber matrix and local broadcast equipment: production control rooms, master control and playout areas, post and editing suites, medical imaging and surgical video, stadium and arena video systems, and defense or simulation facilities that mix long-haul fiber links with racked SDI sources and monitors.
