Twisted Pair Presentation Switcher
Overview
The Enova AVX-400 Twisted Pair Presentation Switcher (
FG1350-01
) is a four input,
multi-format active presentation switcher with auxiliary line level audio input. The
AVX-400 (FIG. 1) is a twisted pair switcher with basic projector/display control via
RS-232, but with external control of the switcher via RS-232 or AxLink. This
presentation switcher incorporates the following:
• External serial or AxLink control
• Projector or display control via RS-232
• Integrated multi-format Cat5 audio/video switcher
• Audio mixer with an auxiliary line input facility
• Audio volume and tone control
• Built-in audio amplifier

The following table lists the specifications for the AVX-400 Twisted Pair Presentation
Switcher:
Wiring and Connections
The Source inputs (FIG. 2) can accept video from devices such as PCs, DVD players,
satellite receivers, and video conference systems via Cat5 wallplates. You can use the
Source Input ports to connect RJ-45 cables to the port on a wall input plate which then
connects to an input device via composite, component, or RGB/VGA connector. The LED
beside each port lights red when its associated port is active.
When connecting to a wall input plate, use Cat5/5e/6 cable to connect from the source
input on the switcher to the RJ-45 connector on the wall input plate (FIG. 3).
Warning: DO NOT use Cat5 crossover cable for source input connections. Using Cat5
crossover cable may damage the presentation switcher.
Once connected, you can activate the connected source input by pressing the button
on the front of the wall input plate. See
for more information.
Note: Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is not passed by the AVX-400.
HD-15 Output Connectors
Each AVX-400 has two HD-15 output connectors. The outputs enable you to use an
HD-15 to Component or standard VGA cable to send video to a display device such as a
projector or large screen monitor.
RS-232 Display Control
The RS-232 display control connector is used for controlling the switcher from an
RS-232 device such as a projector or large screen LCD. FIG. 4 shows the connector
pinouts for the rear RS-232 display control connector.
