Product Overview and Specifications
Note: The HDMI RX can also be powered through the DXLink connector when it is attached to a
DXLink Output Board in an Enova DGX Switcher. We recommend calculating the power budget for
the switcher to maintain the redundancy of its power supplies (see page 38).
Ground Screw
The ground screw is for creating a technical ground for the ungrounded sources/destinations with respect
to the DXLink Transmitters/Receivers and switcher (see page 45).
DXLink Input Connector
The DXLink (RJ-45) connectors transport digital video, embedded audio, Ethernet, and bidirectional
control over twisted pair cable to DXLink devices or boards, including digitally transcoded analog
video signals. The DXLink path supports HDCP and also supports power over the same path from an
Enova DGX Switcher and from some Enova DVX Solutions to power the module. For pinout and LED
information, see page 48.
ICS LAN 10/100 Connector
The ICS LAN 10/100 (RJ-45) connector is for Ethernet 10/100 connectivity (e.g., receiving
SEND_COMMANDs commands and downloading firmware update files). For pinout and LED
information, see page 48.
RS-232 Port
The RS-232 (serial data interface) port is a 3-position screw block which accepts data from the source
device and transfers it via the twisted pair cable to the HDMI RX, which in turn transfers the data to the
destination device or the transfer of data can also be made from the destination to the source. In addition
to being directly connected to a device, this port can be connected as an independent native NetLinx
control port from a networked NetLinx Central Controller.
IR RX Port
The IR RX port is used for IR control (see page 22). This port is a 3.5 mm stereo jack. In addition to
being directly connected to a device, this port can be connected as an independent native NetLinx
control port from a networked NetLinx Central Controller.
IR TX Port
The IR TX port is used for IR control (see page 22). This port is a 2-way mini-Phoenix connector. In
addition to being directly connected to a device, this port can be connected as an independent native
NetLinx control port from a networked NetLinx Central Controller.
USB Port
This port will be supported with a future firmware upgrade.
The USB-A port supports a USB host and enables USB signaling over HID (Human Interface Devices)
only, e.g., keyboard \ mouse. This port is used in conjunction with the USB-B port on the HDMI TX
which supports a USB device and connects to the PC.
HDMI Out Connector
The HDMI Out connector is for digital video and embedded audio. The HDMI connector has a center
screw for locking capability. The HDMI connector also supports a DVI-D signal (a DVI-to-HDMI cable
adapter is required).
