Product Overview and Specifications

Hardware Reference Manual – DXLink™ Twisted Pair Transmitters/Receiver
Power Jack
– The power receptacle is a 2.1 mm DC jack for connecting power. Power can come from a locally connected DC
supply of 12 V. The automatically adjusting universal 110/220 IEC power supply is provided. The power supply is ENERGY
STAR
®
qualified to ensure maximum efficiency and savings.
IMPORTANT:
If desktop power is used to power the Transmitter, only the provided desktop power supply should be used and it
must not be altered in any way. Remote power can also be provided via a switcher, PDXL-2 (FG1090-170), or PS-POE-AT-TC
(FG423-84).
NOTE:
Transmitter Modules can also be powered via the DXLink connector when attached to a DXLink Input Board in an Enova
DGX Switcher. We recommend calculating the power budget for the switcher to maintain the redundancy of its power supplies
(see page 31).
Wallplate TX and Decor Wallplate TX Rear View
Located on the rear of the Wallplate TX are a DXLink (RJ-45) connector and a DIP switch.
The Decor Wallplate TX also has its DXLink connector on the rear, but its DIP switch is on the front (see page 17). The front can be
covered with a customer provided standard decor style front cover plate.
DXLink Output Connector
– The DXLink (RJ-45) connectors transport digital video, embedded audio, bidirectional control,
and Ethernet (SEND_COMMANDs only) over twisted pair cable to DXLink devices or boards, including digitally transcoded
analog video signals. The DXLink path supports HDCP. In addition, the Wallplate TX and Decor Wallplate TX receive power
over the DXLink line from an Enova DGX Switcher, some Enova DVX Solutions, or PDXL-2 (FG1090-170) or PS-POE-AT-TC
(FG423-84). For pinout and LED
information, see page 40.
DIP Switch
– The DIP switch is on the rear of the Wallplate TX. It is on the front of the Decor Wallplate TX and can be
covered with a customer provided standard decor style front cover plate. For information on the DIP switch, see page 17.
Ground Screw
– The ground screw is used for creating a technical ground for the ungrounded sources/destinations with
respect to the DXLink Transmitters/Receivers and switcher (see page 37).
Receiver
NOTE:
If a DVI-D signal is used (via a DVI-to-HDMI cable adapter), the advanced audio support from HDMI will not be available.
DXLink HDMI Receiver (DX-RX) Front View
NOTE:
The DX-RX has a DIP switch on the bottom; for details, see page 17.
