Installation and Setup

Instruction Manual – DXLink™ Twisted Pair Transmitters/Receiver

The Transmitter receives an HDMI signal and an audio signal from a source device. The audio can be

either digital audio embedded with the HDMI signal, digital audio over S/PDIF (S/PDIF is not available on

the Wallplate TX or Decor Wallplate TX), or analog stereo audio. Both the video and embedded audio are

transmitted over twisted pair cable to the RJ-45 connector on the DXLink Input Board. The HDMI signal

is then routed through any (or all) of the connectors on one or more output boards.

When the HDMI signal is routed through a DXLink Output connector to a DXLink HDMI Receiver, the

Receiver sends the HDMI signal with embedded audio on to the destination device. The audio can also be

output on the Receiver’s stereo audio port.

In a system where DXLink Transmitters and Receivers are used in conjunction with a switcher (e.g., the

Enova DGX 16), the cable runs from a Transmitter to a DXLink Input Board and from a Receiver to

DXLink Output Board can each be up to 328 feet (100 m).

Tip: For systems with special requirements – Before installing in the final location, place the

equipment close together, so that the destination monitor and a PC for control can be seen

simultaneously if adjustments are necessary. Scaling adjustments can be made using

SEND_COMMANDs (see page 79). For Enova DGX Switchers, DGX Configuration Software can

also be used to make scaling adjustments via the switcher (see the switcher’s “Instruction Manual”).

Caution: Be careful not to create a network (Ethernet) loop. To avoid doing so, see page 40.

Custom EDID Settings

If Transmitters are part of an Enova DGX endpoint system which requires custom EDID

settings, see the switcher’s Instruction Manual for information on the EDID programming

functionality in DGX Configuration Software (available at www.amx.com).

SEND_COMMANDs can also be used (see page 79).

If Receivers are part of an Enova DGX endpoint system which requires scaler control

and settings, see the switcher’s Instruction Manual for information on the scaling functionality

in DGX Configuration Software (available at www.amx.com). SEND_COMMANDs can also

be used (see page 79).
