System Setup with DXLink™ Transmitters and Receivers
DXLink™ Twisted Pair Input and Output Boards must be used in conjunction with AMX DXLink™
Transmitters and Receivers or other AMX DXLink™ signal management solutions. This combination
creates an end-to-end extender solution for transmission of HDMI (or DVI via adapter cable) over
twisted pair cable. In addition to transport of HDMI, the DXLink Transmitters and Receivers provide
Native NetLinx control functionality (Ethernet connectivity, IR control*, and serial data transfer*).
The DXLink Multi-Format TX, DXLink Multi-Format Wallplate TX, and DXLink Decor Wallplate TX
also have an input for analog video (composite, Y/c, Y/Pb/Pr, RGB, RGBS, or RGBHV).
Compatible DXLink Transmitters and Receivers are listed at the bottom of page 81.
System setup options are listed in the table below.
For TX and RX installation details, see the Transmitter and Receiver’s Quick Start Guide or
Installation Manual.
* DXLink wallplate models do not support IR control or serial data transfer.
When the Transmitters and Receivers are installed in conjunction with the DXLink Boards, image
adjustment and EDID scaling is automatically applied. For almost every installation, the automatic
features on the Transmitters and Receivers result in a quality image on the monitor.
If the installation has special requirements and needs additional adjustment, see page 157. If you need
additional information on the Transmitters and Receivers or their specifications, refer to the Instruction
Manual – DXLink™ Twisted Pair Transmitters/Receiver at www.amx.com.
The distance from a DXLink Transmitter to a DXLink Input Board can be up to 328 feet (100 m) and
another 328 feet (100 m) from the DXLink Output Board to the DXLink Receiver.
Note: Along with the video signal, the DXLink Boards support embedded digital audio and analog
stereo audio from the DXLink Transmitters and Receiver.
Options for DXLink System Setup
The following table contains several options in an Enova DGX Switcher for using DXLink Input and/or
Output Boards in conjunction with DXLink Transmitters and Receivers.
Note: DXLink Transmitters and Receivers can be also be used together as a standalone solution
without a switcher (wallplate models connected directly to a DXLink HDMI RX must
use a DXLink
power injector); see the “Instruction Manual – DXLink™ Twisted Pair Transmitters/Receiver.”
* If the board is an SC Optical Board it will need the appropriate DGX Fiber Module; see the table on page 28.
