Instruction Manual – DXLink™ Twisted Pair Transmitters/Receiver
Stereo Audio In Jack
The Stereo Audio In jack is a 3.5 mm stereo jack. By default, the stereo audio jack will be third in
priority behind the embedded audio on the HDMI input and digital audio on the RCA connector.
When a NetLinx Central Controller is connected, an audio format SEND_COMMAND is available (the
Transmitter must be set for network connectivity via #3 Toggle) to select the desired audio source (see
page 80).
Digital Audio In Jack
The Digital Audio In jack is an RCA jack for an S/PDIF audio signal. When more than one audio signal
is present and the default “auto” mode is enabled, HDMI embedded audio takes precedence over
S/PDIF, which takes precedence over analog audio.
When a NetLinx Central Controller is connected, an audio format SEND_COMMAND is available (the
Transmitter must be set for network connectivity via #3 Toggle) to select the desired audio source (see
page 80).
ICS LAN10/100 Connector
The ICS LAN 10/100 (RJ-45) connector provides for Ethernet 10/100 connectivity (e.g., receiving
SEND_COMMANDs and downloading firmware update files). For pinout and LED information, see
page 42.
RS-232 (Serial) Port
The RS-232 port (serial data interface) is a 3-position screw terminal block which accepts data from the
source device and transfers it via the twisted pair cable to the HDMI RX, which in turn transfers the data
to the destination device. The transfer of data can also be made from the destination to the source. In
addition to being directly connected to a device, this port can be connected as an independent native
NetLinx control port from a networked NetLinx Central Controller.
IR RX Port
The IR RX port is used for IR control (see page 19). This port is a 3.5 mm stereo jack. In addition to
being directly connected to a device, this port can be connected as an independent native NetLinx
control port from a networked NetLinx Central Controller.
IR TX Port
The IR TX port is used for IR control (see page 19). This port is a 2-way mini-Phoenix connector. In
addition to being directly connected to a device, this port can be connected as an independent native
NetLinx control port from a networked NetLinx Central Controller.
USB Port
This port will be supported with a future firmware upgrade.
The USB-B port on the rear of the HDMI TX and Multi-Format TX is connected to a PC and supports a
USB device. This is the Host port that is used in conjunction with the USB-A port on the rear of the
HDMI RX for sending keyboard / mouse commands to a connected PC at the Transmitter.
DXLink Output Connector
The DXLink (RJ-45) connectors transport digital video, embedded audio, Ethernet, and bidirectional
control over twisted pair cable to DXLink devices or boards (or an HDMI RX), including digitally
transcoded analog video signals. The DXLink path supports HDCP. The DXLink line also supports
power from an Enova DGX 16/32 and from some Enova DVX Solutions to power the module. For
pinout and LED information, see page 42.
