Common Applications

DXLink Fiber Transmitters and Receivers, Duplex and Simplex are ideal for any sources and destinations designed into
Enova DGX integrated systems that require the distance capabilities and/or inherent security of fiber with bidirectional
or unidirectional data transfer. These transmitters and receivers easily handle campus-wide distribution of sources that
are shared between classrooms, in secure military applications, medical facilities, casinos, arenas, museums, and large
corporate installations. Connect digital or analog video sources to the TXs directly using the HDMI or HD-15
multi-format input connection and easily include audio on the same fiber optic cable by using the stereo or digital audio
connection. Directly connect LCDs, plasmas, and projectors to the RXs using the HDMI output connection while
delivering room audio via the stereo audio output.
The installation's requirements dictate the system setup, which generally takes one of the following three forms.

The USB port on the Receivers passes keyboard and mouse USB signals to control a remote computer. The
Transmitter's USB port connects to a Host PC and will forward HID keyboard and mouse data received
from a Receiver's USB port (for USB information, see page 26).*
The 232 port (RS-232 serial) supports bidirectional transfer of serial data between
TX/Enova DGX Switcher/RX (Endpoint Mode) and TX/RX (Standalone Mode).*
The IR port supports bidirectional transfer of IR data between TX/Enova DGX Switcher/RX (Endpoint
Mode) and TX/RX (Standalone Mode).*

The Transmitters and Receivers are compatible with all V Style, versatile mounting options including rack,
surface, and pole.
Backed by AMX's 3 year warranty (see www.amx.com).
24-hour technical support.
Endpoint Mode (Switcher) – One or more TX and/or RX are connected to a switcher containing an
integrated Master (see page 40).
Endpoint Mode (Standalone) – A standalone TX/RX pair are connected directly to each other but, in
addition, either the TX or RX is connected to a NetLinx Central Controller via a LAN or directly to the
Controller (see page 42).
Extender Mode (Standalone) – A standalone TX/RX pair are connected directly to each other as a simple
extender solution (see page 42).
