Enova DGX DXLink™ Fiber Boards, Duplex
100
Instruction Manual – Enova DGX 8/16/32/64 Digital Media Switchers
Signal Routing
DXLink Fiber Input Boards route signals to DXLink Fiber Output Boards or to any other type of Enova DGX Output
Boards. DXLink Fiber Output Boards accept signals from all types of Enova DGX Boards. When routing signals
between different board types, the Enova DGX Switcher automatically converts the signal format to match the output
board.
Important:
These boards are compatible only with other AMX products that support the DXLink Fiber
Technology. They are not compatible with third-party optical distribution amplifiers or multimode to single
mode converters.
Currently, the following signals from a DXLink Fiber unit can be sent over DXLink Fiber Boards: HDMI, DVI-D,
analog video, and digital or analog stereo audio. Supported analog video input signals include RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB,
Y/Pb/Pr (converted to RGsB), and an RGBHV output signal. DXLink Fiber Boards, Duplex
must
be used in conjunction
with DXLink Fiber, Duplex units (see the compatibility table on
page 101 and the system setup information on
page 105).
HDCP Compliance
If a connected downstream sink is not HDCP compliant, then the DXLink fiber output will not send the signal to it. This
does not affect other outputs the source may be routed to. This allows compliant displays to show content from source
devices even if the source devices are switched to non-compliant displays. Non-compliant displays can easily be
identified because they display a dark red image (via HDMI/DVI outputs) or an orange image (via a DXLink Fiber RX)
to indicate that the authentication process failed.
InstaGate Pro
®
Technology
DXLink Fiber Boards meet HDCP standards and support InstaGate Pro Technology. For complete
information on HDCP functionality for DXLink Fiber Boards, see “HDCP Support on Enova DGX
Switchers” on page 75.
DXLink Fiber Boards provide EDID emulation support with plug-and-play information provided by the
Enova DGX Switcher.
DXLink fiber input and output connectors incorporate HDMI Technology, are HDCP 1.4 compatible, feature
InstaGate Pro Technology* for low-latency switching of HDCP protected content, and support computer
video up to 1920x1200 and HDTV up to 1080p. The DXLink fiber connectors also support embedded
audio, both linear PCM (stereo audio) and non-linear PCM (Dolby Digital, DTS, and Dolby TrueHD, etc.).
* InstaGate Pro Technology eliminates HDCP latency and interruptions on all displays in a system. (These conditions
are typically experienced when HDCP authenticates HDMI source and destination devices.) Key limitations on source
devices are also eliminated by allowing them to see only a single sink key from the DXLink Fiber Input Board’s input
connection. With InstaGate Pro Technology, when a source requires HDCP encrypted content, the inputs and compliant
downstream devices are automatically authenticated.
