Instruction Manual – DXLink™ Twisted Pair Transmitters/Receiver
USB Port (Rear)
–
This port will be supported with a future firmware upgrade.
Multi-Format and HDMI Transmitters
The USB-B port on the rear of the Multi-Format TX and HDMI TX can be connected to a PC to support
a USB device. This port is considered the Host port, which is used in conjunction with the USB-A port
on the rear of the HDMI RX. As the Host port, it is connected to a PC and passes through information via
the DXLink connection to the HDMI Receiver.
HDMI Receiver
The USB-A port on the rear of the HDMI Receiver supports pass through information from the USB
Host port on the Transmitter to an HID (Human Interface Device), which is most commonly a keyboard
or mouse.
Note:
The USB ports support a limited number of SEND_COMMANDs.
HDCP Compliance
If the connected downstream sink is not HDCP compliant, then the HDMI output on the Receiver will
not send the signal. This does not affect additional displays the source may be routed to, i.e., HDCP
compliant displays will still show content from the source device even when the source device is also
routed to non-compliant displays. Non-compliant devices can be easily identified because they display
a dark red image or an orange image to indicate the authentication process failed.
IR Control on HDMI TX, Multi-Format TX, and HDMI RX (Optional)
The following two items are required for IR control. In addition, a compatible remote control unit can be
used with the system. (The two items listed are not included with the modules.)
IR03
– External IR Receiver Module (FG-IR03). The IR03 can be connected to the IR RX
port on the Multi-Format TX or HDMI TX or to the IR RX port on the HDMI RX, allowing
IR signals to be received from a compatible IR remote control. The IR03 allows the
Multi-Format TX or HDMI TX to be placed behind the display device if desired.
CC-NIRC
– NetLinx IR Emitter Cable (FG10-000-11). The CC-NIRC can be connected to
the IR TX port on the Transmitter or to the IR TX port on the HDMI RX. This allows IR
signals to be sent to the source device from the Multi-Format TX or HDMI TX or to the
display device from the Receiver.
