Instruction Manual – Enova DGX 8/16/32/64 Digital Media Switchers
Enova DGX DXLink™ Twisted Pair Boards
Applicability Notice
This chapter pertains to the following Enova DGX DXLink™ Twisted Pair Input and Output Boards:
FG1058-570 Input board
FG1058-580 Output board
Important:
DXLink™ Twisted pair Boards must be used in conjunction with DXLink™ Twisted Pair
Transmitters and Receivers or other AMX DXLink™ signal management solutions.
Enova DGX 8
Enova DGX 8 enclosures can hold up to four DXLink Boards with four RJ-45 inputs or outputs per board. Each
enclosure holds a maximum of two input and two output boards, accommodating connector configurations up to a
maximum of 8x8, as well as three subsets (i.e., 4x4, 4x8, or 8x4).
Enova DGX 16
Enova DGX 16 enclosures can hold up to eight DXLink Boards with four RJ-45 inputs or outputs per board. Each
enclosure holds a maximum of four input and four output boards, accommodating connector configurations up to a
maximum of 16x16, as well as subsets (e.g., 16x8 or 4x12).
Enova DGX 32
Enova DGX 32 enclosures can hold up to sixteen DXLink Boards with four RJ-45 inputs or outputs per board. Each
enclosure holds a maximum of eight input and eight output boards, accommodating connector configurations up to a
maximum of 32x32, as well as subsets (e.g., 12x24 or 32x8).
Enova DGX 64
Enova DGX 64 enclosures can hold up to thirty-two DXLink Boards with four RJ-45 inputs or outputs per board. Each
enclosure holds a maximum of sixteen input and sixteen output boards, accommodating connector configurations up to a
maximum of 64x64, as well as subsets (e.g., 12x48 or 52x8).
Signal Routing
DXLink Twisted Pair Input Boards route signals to DXLink Output Boards or to any other type of Enova DGX Output
Boards. DXLink Twisted Pair Output Boards can also accept signals from all of the other types of Enova DGX Boards.
When routing signals between different board types, the Enova DGX Switcher automatically converts the signal format
to match the output board.
Signals that can be sent over DXLink Boards include: HDMI, DVI-D, analog video, analog audio, digital audio, and
embedded audio. DXLink Boards also work in conjunction with Audio Insert/Extract Boards (see page 119).
Whenever non-HDCP signals from DXLink Input Boards are routed to DGX SC Optical Output Boards, the signals are
converted to fiber and then converted by a DGX Receiver before being sent to the destination (see page 116). Note that
DGX SC Optical boards do not support HDCP; when HDCP protected video signals are routed to them, the display
provides a dark red image to indicate the authentication process failed.
