The Extron FOX 4G DA8 is an eight output fiber optic distribution amplifier for
distribution and long haul transmission of fiber optic A/V and RS-232 control
signals over a single fiber. Engineered for reliability and exceptional performance,
it supports up to 4.25 Gbps digital distribution for standard definition video, high
resolution computer-video, DVI-D, and multi-rate SDI. The FOX 4G DA8 also
includes a host of features for enhancing A/V system integration.
