Common Features/Functionality - AMX DXLink Multi-Format SMF-D Instruction Manual

Common Features/Functionality

This section covers HDCP compliance, the DIP switches, the USB port, and IR functionality.
HDCP Compliance
If the connected downstream sink is not HDCP compliant, then the HDMI output on the Receiver will not send the
signal. This does not affect additional displays the source may be routed to, i.e., HDCP compliant displays will still show
content from the source device even when the source device is also routed to non-compliant displays. Non-compliant
devices can be easily identified because they display an orange or dark red image to indicate the authentication process
failed.
DIP Switches
Tip: For easiest access to the DIP switch toggles, we recommend setting them before installation.
Important: When setting the DIP switch toggles, make sure any toggles that need to be ON are flipped
toward the AMX sticker.
A four-toggle DIP switch is on the bottom of the DXLink Fiber Transmitters and Receivers.
