Mounting The Dvx Into An Equipment Rack; Audio Inputs; Program Port; Additional Documentation - AMX Enova DVX-2110HD-SP Quick Start Manual

Mounting the DVX into an Equipment Rack

The DVX occupies three rack units in a standard equipment rack. Install the included
rack mounting brackets using the supplied mounting screws prior to securing the unit in
the rack.
Warning: The DVX should not be installed in enclosed spaces. ALWAYS ensure that
the rack enclosure is adequately ventilated. Do not block any ventilation openings. It is
recommended that you leave 1 RU of space above the DVX when you install it in a
rack. DO NOT stand other units directly on top of the DVX when it is rack mounted, as
this will place excessive strain on the mounting brackets.
ALWAYS ensure that the rack enclosure is adequately ventilated. Do not block any
ventilation openings. Sufficient airflow must be achieved (by convection or forced-air
cooling) to satisfy the ventilation requirements of all the items of equipment installed
within the rack.
Note: Connect the LAN port to a LAN with DHCP before powering up the device
VIDEO INPUTS
The DVX features 4 connectors which route video from connected source input devices
to the connected output devices.
MULTI-FORMAT VIDEO INPUTS (1-2)
Each MULTI-FORMAT VIDEO INPUT connector supports DVI-D, as well as VGA,
S-Video, Composite, Component, and HDMI inputs, using the appropriate adapter
cables. These ports are HDCP compatible.
Consult the Enova DVX-2150HD/2155HD/2110HD All-In-One Presentation Switcher
Operation/Reference Guide for information on adapter cables.
HDMI INPUTS (3-4)
The HDMI INPUT connectors support digital audio in addition to DVI or HDMI digital
video. All HDMI inputs are HDMI (with 3D and Deep Color) and HDCP compatible.

AUDIO INPUTS

The DVX allows independent switching of video and audio. Video and audio inputs of
the same number do not have to be connected to the same source equipment. (The
DVX features 6 audio connectors including the 2 HDMI inputs.)
AUDIO INPUTS (1-2)
The two AUDIO INPUTS connectors receive up to two unbalanced stereo audio inputs.
AUDIO INPUTS (5-6)
The two AUDIO INPUTS connectors can be wired for either balanced (differential) or
unbalanced (single-ended) stereo audio.
AUDIO OUTPUTS (1-3)
The AMP OUT amplified audio output (1) differs according to the DVX model you are
using:
• -SP models use a 4-position captive wire connector to provide amplified, variable,
mono or stereo audio output.
• -T models use a two 2-position captive wire connector to provide 70V or 100V
mono amplified audio output. Connect a speaker to either the 70V or 100V
terminal, but not both simultaneously.
The two AUDIO OUTPUT connectors (2-3) provide line level balanced or unbalanced,
mono or stereo line-level audio output.
VIDEO OUTPUTS (1-2)
2 HDMI Output connectors (1-2) provide HDMI video output.
1 DXLink Twisted Pair output (1) mirrors HDMI output 1. It provides digital video, audio,
Ethernet, and bi-directional control over Twisted Pair Cable to DXLink Receivers. All
video outputs are HDCP compatible.
Note: Use the DXLINK_ETH command to enable Ethernet traffic through DXLINK
outputs. See the Enova DVX-2150HD/2155HD/2110HD All-In-One Presentation
Switcher Operation/Reference Guide for more information on these commands.
