Enova DGX DXLink™ Twisted Pair Boards

Instruction Manual – Enova DGX 8/16/32/64 Digital Media Switchers

System Setup with DXLink™ Transmitters and Receivers

DXLink™ Twisted Pair Input and Output Boards

must

be used in conjunction with AMX DXLink™ Transmitters

and Receivers or other AMX DXLink™ signal management solutions. This combination creates an end-to-end
extender solution for transmission of HDMI (or DVI via adapter cable) over twisted pair cable. In addition to transport
of HDMI, the DXLink Transmitters and Receivers provide Native NetLinx control functionality (Ethernet connectivity,
IR control*, and serial data transfer*).
The DXLink Multi-Format TX, DXLink Multi-Format Wallplate TX, and DXLink Decor Wallplate TX also have an
input for analog video (composite, Y/c, Y/Pb/Pr, RGB, RGBS, or RGBHV).



Compatible DXLink Transmitters and Receivers are listed at the bottom of page 86.

System setup options are listed in the table below.

Quick Start Guide

Instruction

Manual

* DXLink wallplate models do not support IR control or serial data transfer.

When the Transmitters and Receivers are installed in conjunction with the DXLink Boards, image adjustment and EDID
scaling is automatically applied. For almost every installation, the automatic features on the Transmitters and Receivers
result in a quality image on the monitor.
If the installation has special requirements and needs additional adjustment, page 172. If you need additional information
on the Transmitters and Receivers or their specifications, refer to the

Instruction Manual – DXLink™ Twisted Pair

Transmitters/Receiver

at www.amx.com.

The distance from a DXLink Transmitter to a DXLink Input Board can be up to 328 feet (100 m) and another
328 feet (100 m) from the DXLink Output Board to the DXLink Receiver.

Important:

DXLink twisted pair cable runs for DXLink Input and Output Boards shall only be run within a

common building.“Common building” is defined as: Where the walls of the structure(s) are physically
connected and the structure(s) share a single ground reference.

Note:

Along with the video signal, the DXLink Boards support embedded digital audio and analog stereo

audio from the DXLink Transmitters and Receiver.

Options for DXLink System Setup

The following table contains several options in an Enova DGX Switcher for using DXLink Input and/or Output Boards
in conjunction with DXLink Transmitters and Receivers.

Note:

DXLink Transmitters and Receivers can be also be used together as a standalone solution without a

switcher (wallplate models connected directly to a DXLink HDMI RX must use a DXLink power injector); see
the “Instruction Manual – DXLink™ Twisted Pair Transmitters/Receiver.”

* If the board is an SC Optical Board it will need the appropriate DGX Fiber Module; see the table on page 35.
