Extron has delivered single-shot fibre optic scaling receiver modules to its space-saving FOX3 PowerCage platform.

Designed specifically for the PowerCage 411 enclosure, the FOX3 SR 311 PC, FOX3 SR 301 PC and FOX3 201 PC are compact modules that provide a long-haul extension of HDCP-compliant HDMI video with embedded audio and RS-232 control as well as optional USB or USB HID signals.

“We’re pleased to introduce our latest scaling receiver modules for the space-saving and powerful PowerCage 411,” Extron chief marketing officer Casey Hall says.

“The addition of these three compact fibre optic scaling receiver modules provides a thorough solution for multi-display workstations as well as any enterprise-wide fibre optic AV and KVM signal distribution system.”

Engineered for exceptional high-resolution image performance, they use Extron all-digital technology to deliver perfect pixel-for-pixel, uncompressed transmission of images up to 4K/60\@4:4:4 over two fibres or mathematically lossless 4K/60\@4:4:4 over one fibre. Designed specifically for AV and KVM systems, these fibre optic scaling receivers also include many integrator-friendly features such as Key Minder and real-time system monitoring.

The Extron PowerCage 411 is a compact 1U rack-mountable, four-slot enclosure that supports Extron FOX3 series fibre optic extenders. Engineered with uncompromising quality and proven performance to provide an efficient way to power, manage and mount multiple extenders, the PowerCage 411 simplifies integration for large, rack-mounted systems and user workstations with multiple computers.

The PowerCage 411 features a redundant, hot-swappable power supply plus active thermal management to optimise reliability in mission-critical environments where continuous, 24/7 operation is essential.

The hot-swappable, modular design allows for replacing or upgrading boards in the field at any time, without powering down the system. The compact 1U enclosure includes front panel controls for set-up and configuration without a computer.
