Important: DXLink™ Twisted pair Boards must be used in conjunction with DXLink™ Twisted Pair
Transmitters and Receivers or other AMX DXLink™ signal management solutions.
Enova DGX 8
Enova DGX 8 enclosures are built to 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 16
Enova DGX 16 enclosures are built to 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 (for example, 16x8 or 4x12).
Enova DGX 32
Enova DGX 32 enclosures are built to 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 (for example,
12x24 or 32x8).
Signal Routing
DXLink Input Boards route signals to DXLink Output Boards or to any other type of Enova DGX
Output Boards. DXLink 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 Insert/Extract
Boards (see page 101).
Whenever non-HDCP signals from DXLink Input Boards are routed to DGX SC Optical Output Boards,
the signals are converted to fiber and then converted by a DGX Receiver before being sent to the
destination (see page 97). Note that DGX SC Optical boards do not support HDCP; when HDCP
protected video signals are routed to them, the display provides a dark red image to indicate the
authentication process failed.
