DXLink™ Twisted Pair Transmitters and Receiver
* The DXLink HDMI TX Module has been discontinued. This manual contains information on it for support.
Compatibility Note:
The Transmitters and the Receiver listed above are compatible with a number of other
DXLink products (see the section “Product Compatibility Tables” on page 12). All of the Transmitters are
compatible with the Receiver. The Wallplate TX and Decor Wallplate TX must use DXLink power injectors
when connecting directly to an HDMI RX; others may cause damage.
Product Notes
The Transmitters and Receiver are designed for transmission of an HDMI signal over twisted pair cable (or a DVI
signal via a DVI-to-HDMI cable adapter) up to 328 feet (100 m). Functionality is briefly described below.
Multi-Format TX
– The Multi-Format TX receives an HDMI signal or analog video signal (composite, Y/c,
Y/Pb/Pr, RGB, RGBS, or RGBHV) and an audio signal from a source device. The audio can be either digital
audio embedded with the HDMI signal, digital audio over S/PDIF, or analog stereo audio.
Either analog or digital video is transmitted out of the DXLink output. The active video selection is made using
one of two methods: 1) Automatic, which selects digital video as the priority video input or analog video when no
digital video is present. 2) Active ICSP command video input selection from a bound NetLinx Central Controller.
Both the video and audio are transported over twisted pair cable to an Enova DGX Digital Media Switcher, an
applicable Enova DVX Solution (to an HDMI RX), or directly to an HDMI RX.
The 232 port (RS-232) on the Multi-Format TX supports bidirectional serial data via the twisted pair cable to/from
the 232 port on an HDMI RX. The Multi-Format TX also has IR ports.
HDMI TX
–
The HDMI TX receives an HDMI signal and an
audio signal from a source device. The audio can be
either digital audio embedded with the HDMI, digital audio over S/PDIF, or analog stereo audio. Both the video
and audio are transported over twisted pair cable to an Enova DGX Digital Media Switcher, an applicable Enova
DVX Solution (to an HDMI RX), or directly to an HDMI RX. The 232 port (RS-232) on the HDMI TX supports
bidirectional serial data via the twisted pair cable to/from the 232 port on an HDMI RX. The HDMI TX also has
IR ports.
Wallplate TX and Decor Wallplate TX
– These wallplates receive an HDMI signal or analog video signal
(composite, Y/c, Y/Pb/Pr, RGB, RGBS, or RGBHV) and an audio signal from a source device. The audio can be
either digital audio embedded with the HDMI signal or analog stereo audio.
Either analog or digital video is transmitted out of the DXLink output. The active video selection is made using
one of two methods: 1) Automatic, which selects digital video as the priority video input or analog video when no
digital video is present. 2) Active ICSP command video input selection from a bound NetLinx Central Controller.
