Extron FOX3 SR 201 PC SM (part number 70-1224-24) is an uncompressed fiber optic scaling receiver built as a slot-in module for the Extron PowerCage 411 enclosure, rather than a standalone chassis. It shares its scaling, video, and audio behavior with the standalone FOX3 SR 201, using no USB extension for peripheral extension.

Installed in one of the four module slots of a PowerCage 411, the SR 201 PC receives power, cooling, and rack space from the shared enclosure rather than an individual supply or fan -- power draw is 19.2 watts per module. Its built-in scaler outputs fixed resolutions up to 4096x2160 at 60 Hz with 4:4:4 chroma sampling over a single HDMI 2.0, HDCP 2.3-compliant output, or runs in bypass mode to pass the source resolution unchanged. Audio de-embeds from HDMI to a 2-channel PCM digital output, and a bidirectional RS-232 pass-through port extends serial control to the display or other AV device at the far end. This uncompressed variant uses 2 SFPs (uncompressed 4K/60 over two fibers), giving a maximum channel data rate of 20.0 Gbps (2 fibers), over singlemode fiber.

Key Capabilities

• Scales to fixed output resolutions up to 4096x2160 at 60 Hz, or bypass mode
• 20 km (12.4 miles) on singlemode fiber
• Slots directly into a PowerCage 411 enclosure, sharing its power and cooling
• Bidirectional RS-232 pass-through control
• Only 19.2 watts draw per module reduces PowerCage 411 total load

Where It Is Used

Multi-room AV racks that consolidate several FOX3 scaling receivers into a single PowerCage 411 chassis, instead of racking individual standalone receivers, specify the PC module version to save rack space and simplify shared power and cooling.
