DXLink Transmitter/Receiver Grounding
When using DXLink Power from an Enova DGX Switcher, we recommend wiring a technical ground for the
ungrounded sources/destinations with respect to the DXLink Transmitters/Receivers and switcher. For complete
grounding information, see the Instruction Manual – DXLink™ Twisted Pair Transmitters/Receiver.
Important: If one DXLink Transmitter or Receiver is grounded, any remaining ungrounded units that are
connected to the same board on the Enova DGX Switcher must also be grounded.
Example of Typical Setup with DXLink Transmitter and Receiver
A typical system setup for a source and a destination is illustrated below and shows an Enova DGX 16 with DXLink
Boards used in conjunction with DXLink Transmitters and Receivers for transport of HDMI signals.
This type of setup also supports DVI-D signals with the use of a cable adapter and analog video through a
Multi-Format TX, Wallplate TX, or Decor Wallplate TX.
The Transmitter receives an HDMI signal and an audio signal from a source device. The audio can be either digital audio
embedded with the HDMI signal, digital audio over S/PDIF, or analog stereo audio. Both the video and embedded audio
are transmitted over twisted pair cable to the RJ-45 connector on the DXLink Input Board. The signal is routed through
the desired DXLink Output connector to the DXLink Receiver, which in turn sends the HDMI signal with embedded
audio on to a destination device. Audio (whether embedded or not) received on the Transmitter can be output on the
stereo audio port.

Tip: For systems with special requirements – Before installing in the final location, place the equipment close
together, so a PC for control and the destination monitor can be seen simultaneously if adjustments are
necessary. Adjustments can be made using DGX Configuration Software (see page 172).
Caution: Be careful not to create a network (Ethernet) loop. To avoid doing so, see page 94.
