DXLink Twisted Pair Boards, shown in an Enova DGX 3200
IMPORTANT: DXLink™ Twisted Pair Boards must be used in conjunction with DXLink™ Twisted Pair Transmitters and Receivers or
other AMX DXLink™ signal management solutions.
NOTE: Compatibility is available between DXLink Twisted Pair equipment and DXLink Twisted Pair 4K equipment (see the "DXLink
Compatibility" Appendix in the "DXLink Twisted Pair 4K Transmitters and Receivers Hardware Reference Manual" at www.amx.com).
Enova DGX 800
Enova DGX 800 enclosures can hold up to four DXLink Boards with four RJ-45 inputs or outputs per board. 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 Boards with four RJ-45 inputs or outputs per board. 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 Boards with four RJ-45 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 Boards with four RJ-45 inputs or outputs per board. 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 Twisted Pair Input Boards route signals to DXLink Output Boards or to any other type of Enova DGX Output Boards. DXLink
Twisted Pair 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 Boards include: HDMI, DVI-D, analog video, analog audio, digital audio, and embedded audio.
DXLink Boards also work in conjunction with Audio Switching Boards (see page 142) or Audio Insert/Extract Boards (see
page 154).
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 163).
NOTE: Enova DGX DXLink Boards do not support CEC.
HDCP Compliance
If a connected downstream sink is not HDCP compliant, then the DXLink 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 an HDMI/DVI Output) or an orange image (via a DXLink RX) to indicate that the authentication process failed.
