It reconstructs mathematically lossless 4K video up to 4096x2160 at 60 Hz with 4:4:4 chroma sampling from a single fiber, using Extron all-digital technology rather than compression. Key Minder continuously verifies HDCP compliance so switching and source changes stay quick and reliable. Multimode and singlemode versions match the installed fiber plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe receiver end of a fiber link is where reliability problems usually show up. HDCP re-authentication on every source change produces the multi-second black screen that users interpret as a broken system, and it becomes worse the longer the link and the more devices in the chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe FOX3 R 111 uses Extron Key Minder to continuously verify HDCP compliance rather than re-authenticating from scratch each time. The result is fast, predictable switching at the display end of a long fiber run. HDCP 2.3 is supported, covering current protected content requirements from corporate laptops and media sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eImage transport matches the transmitter side. Extron all-digital technology delivers mathematically lossless video, with support for 4096x2160 at 60 Hz at 4:4:4 chroma and 8-bit color, or 10-bit at 30 Hz. Signal type is HDMI 2.0 at data rates up to 18.0 Gbps, with 4:4:4 or 4:2:2 chroma sampling and two-channel LPCM embedded audio.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFiber connection is a single SFP interface using one strand per link. Two versions are available: multimode (60-1957-41) for in-building and campus runs on OM3 or OM4, and singlemode (60-1957-42) for the longer distances of multi-building campus and metro deployments. The receiver must match the transmitter's fiber mode.

than performing a full re-authentication on every source change. That is what keeps switching fast at the display end of a long link instead of producing a multi-second black screen each time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich fiber mode should I order?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMatch the transmitter and the installed plant. Multimode (60-1957-41) suits in-building and shorter campus runs on OM3 or OM4. Singlemode (60-1957-42) supports the longer distances of multi-building and metro deployments. Transmitter and receiver must be the same mode.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow many strands per link?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne fiber per link, which conserves strand count in an existing plant where available strands are often the real constraint rather than distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat transmitter pairs with this receiver?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Extron FOX3 T 111, in the matching fiber mode. The transmitter also offers an HDMI input loop-out for a local confidence monitor at the source position.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the video compressed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo visually lossy compression is applied. Extron all-digital technology delivers mathematically lossless transport, which matters for medical imaging, simulation, command and control, and detail-critical applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the availability?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eExtron lists this model as shipping in December 2026.
