HID Devices
A list is available of HID devices which have been tested and found to be working well with the latest firmware (see “DXLink - HID
supported Devices” on the DXLink Receiver’s product page at www.amx.com).
USB LED
The USB LED on the front of a Receiver Module monitors the USB port on the rear of the unit. The USB LED illuminates (yellow)
when a USB device is detected (the port default is “enabled”).
HDCP Compliance
If the source device is sending HDCP-encrypted content and the connected downstream sink is not HDCP compliant, 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.
An orange screen on an output display is the visual cue from DXLink devices that the display device cannot display the HDCP
compliant signal from the source.
Quick Reference Tables for Modes
The modes listed in the following three tables are those supported by DXLink Transmitters and Receivers. The Quick Reference
Tables are intended to help users navigate the many modes available for system setup and use. For complete information on any of
the modes listed, see the relevant sections or chapter referenced at the end of the Descriptions.

Description
DXLink Modes
DXLink Modes refer to the type of physical components and how they are connected to make up the system. When
Transmitters and Receivers are cabled into a system and powered on, they automatically detect the DXLink Mode they
are being used in.
Endpoint Mode:
• When the system is setup to use Transmitters and/or Receivers with an Enova DGX Digital Media Switcher or an
applicable Solecis 4K Digital Switcher, the system is in Endpoint Mode (see example on page 21).
Or
• When a TX is directly connected to an RX but, in addition, the RX is connected to a NetLinx Central Controller via a
LAN or directly connected to the Controller, the system is in Endpoint Mode (see example on page 22).
Extender Mode:
• When a TX is directly connected to an RX, the system is in Extender Mode (see example on page 23).
For further information, reference #2 Toggle DIP switch settings for DXLink Mode (see page 26) and DXLink System
SEND_COMMANDs (see page 59).
