Instruction Manual – DXLink Fiber Transmitters and Receivers
Optional: DXLink Fiber TX/RX – IR Control
For additional information on the IR03 and CC-NIRC, which are required for IR control, see page 28. (The IR03 and
CC-NIRC are not included with the DXLink Fiber units.) The IR ports can be bound and controlled via the integrated
NetLinx Central Controller in the Enova DGX or via another network connected NetLinx Central Controller. A
compatible remote control unit can also be used with the system.
IR03 External IR Receiver Module (not included)
To connect an IR Receiver to a TX or to an RX:
1.
Connect the jack on the IR03 External IR Receiver Module cable (FG-IR03) to the IR RX port on the unit.
2.
Run the cable and attach the IR receiver bud so that it has a clear line-of-sight with the intended remote control
device.
CC-NIRC NetLinx IR Emitter Cable (not included)
To connect an IR Emitter to a TX or to an RX:
1.
Connect the Phoenix connector on the CC-NIRC NetLinx IR Emitter cable (FG10-000-11) to the IR TX port on the
unit.
2.
Run the other end of the IR Emitter cable to the display device and locate the IR window.
3.
Attach the IR Emitter bud over the device’s IR sensor by removing the cover on the reverse side of the Emitter and
sticking the bud directly over the IR window.
Important:
When installation of the IR Receiver and IR Emitter is complete, load the appropriate driver
(for instructions, see page 72) and program the IR remote according to the product’s documentation.
IR Control – Endpoint Mode and SEND_COMMANDs
In Endpoint Mode (TX/RX units are connected to a switcher), IR operations in Bidirectional Mode are handled by the
host providing control of the endpoints. The Master’s programming specifies where the IR commands are sent (this is
handled independently from the routing of the video signals). For additional information on Endpoint Mode, see
page 40; for specific IR SEND_COMMANDs, see page 87.
Note:
Configuration of IR communication in Unidirectional or Data Link-lost Mode requires additional
information found in “Unidirectional Mode LAN Configuration” on page 60.
