Instruction Manual – DXLink™ Twisted Pair Transmitters/Receiver
Special Product Information for the Receiver
If a DVI-D signal is used (via a DVI-to-HDMI cable adapter), the advanced audio support from HDMI
will not be available.
IR Control on TX or Multi-Format TX and Receiver Modules (Optional)
The following two items are required for IR control. In addition, a compatible remote control unit can be
used with the system. (The two items listed are not included with the modules.)
IR03 – External IR Receiver Module (FG-IR03). The IR03 can be connected to the IR RX
port on the HDMI TX or Multi-Format TX or to the IR RX port on the Receiver, allowing
IR signals to be received from a compatible IR remote control. The IR03 allows the
HDMI TX or Multi-Format TX to be placed behind the display device if desired.
CC-NIRC – NetLinx IR Emitter Cable (FG10-000-11). The CC-NIRC can be connected to
the IR TX port on the Transmitter or to the IR TX port on the Receiver. This allows IR signals
to be sent to the source device from the HDMI TX or Multi-Format TX or to the display
device from the Receiver.
Quick Reference Tables for Modes
The modes listed in the following three tables are those supported by DXLink Transmitters and
Receivers. The Quick Reference Tables are intended to help users navigate the many modes available
for system setup and use. For complete information on any of the modes listed, see the relevant sections
or chapter referenced at the end of the Description.

Mode Description
DXLink Modes
DXLink Modes refer to the type of physical components and how they are connected
to make up the system. When Transmitters and Receivers are cabled into a system
and powered on, they automatically detect the DXLink Mode they are being used in.
Endpoint Mode:
• When the system is setup to use Transmitters and/or Receivers with an
Enova DGX 16/32 enclosure or an applicable Enova DVX solution, the system is
in Endpoint Mode (see example on page 30).
Or
• When a TX is directly connected to an RX but, in addition, the TX and/or RX is
connected to a NetLinx Central Controller via a LAN or directly connected to the
Controller, the system is in Endpoint Mode (see example on page 33).
Extender Mode:
• When a TX is directly connected to an RX, the system is in Extender Mode (see
example on page 34).
For further information, reference #2 Toggle DIP switch settings for DXLink Mode (see
page 37) and DXLink System SEND_COMMANDs (see page 88).
