audio embedded with the HDMI signal, digital audio over S/PDIF, or analog stereo audio.
Either analog or digital video is transmitted out of the DXLink output. The active video selection is made using
one of two methods: 1) Automatic, which selects digital video as the priority video input or analog video when no
digital video is present. 2) Active ICSP command video input selection from a bound NetLinx Central Controller.
Both the video and audio are transported over twisted pair cable to an Enova DGX Digital Media Switcher, an
applicable Enova DVX Solution (to an HDMI RX), or directly to an HDMI RX.
The 232 port (RS-232) on the Multi-Format TX supports bidirectional serial data via the twisted pair cable to/from
