NOTE: For full capability, DXLink Twisted Pair 4K Boards must be used in conjunction with DXLink Twisted Pair 4K Transmitters
and Receivers. Additional compatibility is available between DXLink Twisted Pair 4K equipment and DXLink Twisted Pair
equipment (see the "DXLink Compatibility" Appendix in the "DXLink Twisted Pair 4K Transmitters and Receivers Hardware
Reference Manual" at www.amx.com).
By default, DXLink 4K Input Boards provide a 4K EDID to all connected DXLink Transmitter devices. While DXLink Transmitters
are supported by the DXLink 4K Input Board, the default EDID provided to the Transmitter may result in a source device
(computer, media player, etc) presenting a video resolution out of the Transmitter's range.
To ensure the source device presents a resolution the DXLink Transmitter can support, simply use the Enova DGX 100 Series
System Configuration interface to select a non-4K EDID (All, Wide, Full in non-4K range) to ensure a supported format is
requested by the DXLink Transmitter. For information about compatibility between DXLink Twisted Pair 4K and endpoints,
see the DXLink Twisted Pair 4K Transmitters and Receivers Hardware Reference Manual at www.amx.com.

Signal Routing

DXLink Twisted Pair 4K Input Boards route signals to DXLink Twisted Pair 4K Output Boards or to any other type of Enova
DGX Output Boards. DXLink Twisted Pair 4K Output Boards can also accept signals from all of the other 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.
Signals that can be sent over DXLink Twisted Pair 4K Boards include: HDMI, DVI-D, analog video, analog audio, digital
audio, and embedded audio. DXLink Twisted Pair 4K Boards also work in conjunction with Audio Switching Boards (see
page 171) or Audio Insert/Extract Boards (see page 183).
IMPORTANT: Because the DXLink, DVI, and HDMI Boards in the Enova DGX Switcher normally produce a quality image,
you will not need to make adjustments or custom scaler settings unless the installation has special scaling, EDID, or HDCP
requirements (if adjustments are necessary, use the System Configuration interface; see page 127).
NOTE: Enova DGX DXLink Twisted Pair 4K Boards do not support CEC.
