- Page 23 Installation and Setup Extender Mode (Standalone): Example of Typical System Setup A Transmitter and Receiver standalone pair can also work together as an extender solution for transmission of HDMI over twisted pair cable up to 262 feet (80 m). The standalone setup supports DVI-D signals with the use of a DVI-to-HDMI cable adapter. In systems with a Wallplate Transmitter, power can be provided to the units via the DXLink line by connecting a DXLink power injector to the Wallplate and using either the desktop power supply or another DXLink power injector with the Receiver.
- Page 24 Installation and Setup Foregoing Power Supply Redundancy Depending on particular Enova DGX input and output board configurations, operating over the redundant power supply level may be necessary on a permanent basis for some installations. While foregoing the benefits associated with a redundant power supply should be understood, operating without redundancy is in no way detrimental to the system, as long as both power supplies are operational.
- Page 25 Installation and Setup NetLinx Binding of DXLink Receiver Modules with an Enova DGX Switcher IMPORTANT: The information in this section does not pertain to the 4K HDMI Wallplate TX as the device does not communicate with or receive control from NetLinx Studio.

Page 87: Appendix F - Ground Wire Attachment
Appendix F - Ground Wire Attachment Appendix F - Ground Wire Attachment Applicability If the system is experiencing problems with delivery of DXLink signals to/from an Enova DGX Digital Media Switcher, adding a ground wire from the TX/RX to the switcher may improve performance. The problem is likely caused by the use of a single phase powered system that does not provide an earth ground for a source or destination's chassis and shields. - Page 88 Appendix F - Ground Wire Attachment Ensure the ground wire is positioned so that it does not interfere with any of the connectors. Correctly positioned ground wire Position ground wire away from connectors FIG. 30 Attach the ground wire to a common earthed ground (see “Attaching a Ground Wire to a Common Earthed Ground” on previous page).

Page 89: Appendix G - Dxlink Compatibility
Appendix G - DXLink Compatibility Appendix G - DXLink Compatibility Overview While DXLink Twisted Pair 4K hardware is intended for primary use with other DXLink Twisted Pair 4K hardware (full capability compatibility), it is also compatible with DXLink Twisted Pair hardware. When DXLink Twisted Pair 4K is used in conjunction with DXLink Twisted Pair hardware, Input and Output signal support matches the lowest common denominator (e.g., if you want to use the DX-TX with the DX-RX-4K, the DX-RX-4K will behave exactly like a DX-RX). - Page 90 Appendix G - DXLink Compatibility DXLink Twisted Pair 4K and DXLink Twisted Pair Hardware Capabilities The following tables display hardware capability differences and similarities between DXLink Twisted Pair 4K and DXLink Twisted Pair Transmitters and between DXLink Twisted Pair 4K and DXLink Twisted Pair Receivers. Transmitter Hardware Capabilities DX-TX DX-TX-WP...
