Instruction Manual – DXLink™ Twisted Pair Transmitters/Receiver
Features (continued)
Multi-Format TX and Wallplate TX support analog video: composite, Y/c, Y/Pb/Pr, RGB,
RGBS, or RGBHV.
Reads the downstream EDID from the switcher (Endpoint Mode) or the sink (Extender Mode).
Transports video signals over distances up to 328 feet (100 m) via the DXLink connection.
Interruption free content when used in conjunction with a switcher, AMX’s exclusive
InstaGate Pro
®
Technology allows audio and video to be switched quickly and easily to every
connected display without the difficulties typically associated with HDCP.
AutoDetect on the TXs and SmartScale
®
on the RX work to automatically recognize any
device’s supported resolutions and signal type parameters, allowing switching out source and
destination devices without manual setup. Also included is the ability to control detailed
timing parameters for customized video output formats. (SmartScale is the ability to configure
the scaling output by automatically selecting destination defined resolutions.)
Supports HDMI embedded digital audio, digital audio over S/PDIF, and analog stereo audio.
Standard twisted pair cable saves time and installation effort.
The USB port on the HDMI Receiver passes keyboard and mouse USB signals to control a
remote computer. The Transmitter’s USB port acts as a Host. (The Transmitter and Receiver
USB ports will be supported in a future firmware upgrade.)
The 232 port (RS-232 serial) supports bidirectional transfer of serial data between Master and
TX or RX (Endpoint Mode) or between TX and RX (Extender Mode).
The IR port supports bidirectional transfer of IR data between Master and TX or RX
(Endpoint Mode) or between TX and RX (Extender Mode).
Power over DXLink (twisted pair cable) support when used with a switcher (for power budget
information when used with an Enova DGX 16/32, see page 34).
A desktop power supply (ENERGY STAR
®
qualified) is provided per module. The Wallplate
TX receives its power from the switcher (for power budget information, see page 34).
The modules are compatible with all V Style, versatile mounting options including rack,
surface, and pole. The Wallplate TX includes a mounting bracket.
Backed by AMX’s 3 year warranty (see www.amx.com).
24-hour technical support.

Common Applications
DXLink Transmitters and Receivers are designed to send audio, video, and control to a remote display
across the room, on the other side of the house, or to a classroom down the hall. The installation’s
requirements dictate the system setup which generally takes one of the following three forms.
Endpoint Mode (Switcher) – One or more Transmitters and/or Receivers are connected to a
switcher* containing an integrated Master (see page 30).
Endpoint Mode (Standalone) – A standalone DXLink 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 33).
Extender Mode (Standalone) – A standalone DXLink TX/RX pair** are connected directly
to each other as a simple extender solution (see page 34).
* The switcher can be either an Enova DGX 16/32 or an applicable Enova DVX Solution (see “Product
Compatibility Tables” on page 8).
** A standalone DXLink pair consists of an HDMI TX or a Multi-Format TX with an HDMI RX.
