Instruction Manual – DXLink Fiber Transmitters and Receivers
Options for System Setup with Enova DGX – DXLink Fiber Boards
The following table contains options for using DXLink Fiber Transmitters and Receivers in conjunction with DXLink
Fiber Input and Output Boards in an Enova DGX Digital Media Switcher. The TX/RX units and input/output boards can
be either Simplex or Duplex, as long as the model types match (multimode to multimode and single mode to single
mode).
Functions of DXLink Fiber Transmitters and Receivers
The diagram in FIG. 10 below shows the functions of DXLink Fiber Transmitters and Receivers. The example
descriptions contain the device’s HDCP key count when used in conjunction with DXLink Fiber Boards in an Enova
DGX Digital Media Switcher.
Important:
(Applies to Duplex and Simplex) The DXLink Fiber TX and the DXLink Fiber Input Board must
have the same type of fiber optic transceiver. The DXLink Fiber Output Board and the DXLink Fiber RX must
have the same type of fiber optic transceiver. The multimode and single mode fiber optic transceivers allow
for in-the-field replacement and can even be swapped as long as these constraints are followed.

Acts like
a sink
Example A:
When a Receiver acts like a source, its key does not count. Source device sees 1 key (Transmitter).
Example B:
When a Transmitter acts like a sink, the source device sees 1 key (Transmitter).
Example C:
When a source device is connected directly to a switcher, the source sees 1 key (switcher input).
