Hdcp Compliance - AMX DGX1600-ENC Hardware Reference Manual

Enova DGX 800
Enova DGX 800 enclosures can hold up to four DXLink Fiber Boards. Each enclosure holds a maximum of two input and two output
boards, accommodating connector configurations up to a maximum of 8x8, as well as three subsets (i.e., 4x4, 4x8, or 8x4).
Enova DGX 1600
Enova DGX 1600 enclosures can hold up to eight DXLink Fiber Boards. Each enclosure holds a maximum of four input and four
output boards, accommodating connector configurations up to a maximum of 16x16, as well as subsets (e.g., 16x8 or 4x12).
Enova DGX 3200
Enova DGX 3200 enclosures can hold up to sixteen DXLink Fiber Boards with four inputs or outputs per board. Each enclosure
holds a maximum of eight input and eight output boards, accommodating connector configurations up to a maximum of 32x32, as
well as subsets (e.g., 12x24 or 32x8).
Enova DGX 6400
Enova DGX 6400 enclosures can hold up to thirty-two DXLink Fiber Boards. Each enclosure holds a maximum of sixteen input and
sixteen output boards, accommodating connector configurations up to a maximum of 64x64, as well as subsets (e.g., 12x48 or
52x8).
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 must be used in conjunction with DXLink Fiber units (see the compatibility table
on page 111 and the system setup information on page 117).
NOTE: DXLink Boards can also work in conjunction with AIE Boards (see page 154) or Audio Switching Boards (see page 142).

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
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 70.
DXLink Fiber Boards provide EDID emulation support with plug-and-play information provided by the Enova DGX Switcher.

DXLink fiber input/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, Dolby TrueHD, DTS, 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.
