| FOXBOX Tx-Rx VGA |
| NOTE | The FOXBOX system consists of a transmitter (FOXBOX Tx VGA) and a receiver (FOXBOX Rx VGA receiver) with one or two fiber optic cables linking the two units. They are available in singlemode or multimode versions. |
|
| NOTE | The analog RGB input signal is digitized pixel for pixel in the transmitter, sent digitally through the fiber cable, and converted back to analog RGB in the receiver. |
|
| NOTE | The analog audio signals are digitized in the transmitter, sent through the fiber cable, and converted back to analog audio in the receiver. |
|
| NOTE | This transmitter and receiver are class 1 laser products. They meet the safety regulations of IEC-60825. |
|
|
