Extron LinkLicense FOX3 Uncompressed 4K/60 Upgrade - Multimode

Product Overview

The Extron LinkLicense FOX3 Uncompressed 4K/60 Upgrade – Multimode enables FOX3 Series fiber optic transmitters and receivers to extend uncompressed video up to 4096x2160 at 60 Hz with 4:4:4 chroma sampling over two multimode fibers. This FOX3 uncompressed video upgrade is the path to pixel-perfect, zero-latency 4K distribution for critical broadcast, command-and-control, and production environments already running FOX3 hardware.

Product Description

Extron's FOX3 platform typically compresses video for extension over fiber, which is more than adequate for most conference and presentation rooms but not for applications where every pixel and every frame of latency matters — broadcast production, command centers, medical imaging, and 3D or stereoscopic video. This LinkLicense switches a FOX3 transmitter/receiver pair to fully uncompressed transport, supporting resolutions up to 4096x2160 at 60 Hz with 4:4:4 chroma sampling, over two multimode fibers rather than a single-fiber compressed link. The upgrade ships as a kit that includes an SFP module along with the LinkLicense itself, so the physical fiber interface and the software entitlement arrive together and are applied as one commissioning step. Because the license only changes how the existing FOX3 hardware transports video, it does not require replacing FOX3 transmitters or receivers already in the rack — it upgrades the link between units already installed. Multimode fiber runs are typically the right call for shorter, in-building distances; for longer campus or facility-wide runs, the singlemode version of this LinkLicense is the appropriate choice.

Key Features

• Uncompressed 4K/60 transport — Extends video up to 4096x2160 at 60 Hz with 4:4:4 chroma sampling.
• Zero compression latency — Removes encode/decode latency for applications where every frame matters.
• Includes SFP module — Ships as a kit with the fiber SFP module and the LinkLicense together.
• Multimode fiber — Sized for shorter, in-building fiber runs.
• Applies to existing FOX3 hardware — Upgrades installed FOX3 transmitters and receivers rather than requiring replacement units.

Typical Applications

• Broadcast production and master control rooms
• Command and control centers requiring zero-latency video
• Medical imaging and other pixel-critical visualization environments

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this require new FOX3 hardware?
No. It upgrades an existing FOX3 transmitter/receiver pair and includes the SFP module needed for uncompressed transport.

Multimode or singlemode — which do I need?
Multimode fiber is typically used for shorter, in-building runs; for longer distances, order the singlemode version of this LinkLicense instead. Browse the full Extron FOX3 Fiber Optic line.

Does this affect audio or control signals on the same link?
No, this license specifically governs the video transport mode; FOX3's audio and control extension continue to operate as configured.

Can Creation Networks help design a FOX3 uncompressed video system?
Yes. As a certified Extron integrator, Creation Networks designs, commissions, and supports FOX3 fiber distribution systems end to end — see the full Extron catalog or contact our team.
