HDMI TX and Multi-Format TX – LED Troubleshooting

If indicator LEDs for modules do not respond with a normal display as stated in table on previous page:

Check all power connections.

Check the “Detailed NetLinx (Link/Act and Status) LED Behavior” section on page 55.

Try the suggestions in the “Troubleshooting” chapter (see page 91).

For information on restoring the module’s default settings on power up, see page 61.

HDMI RX – Attaching Signal and Control Cables

Important: Before attaching cables, be sure to set DIP switch’s toggles if necessary (see page 37).

Important: Do not

use the RJ-45 connector labeled “DXLink” for connecting to a standard Ethernet

Network.

Note: Power, IR, and RS-232 ports are covered in their own sections.

To attach signal, transport, and control cables to the HDMI RX:

DXLink (input) connector – Attach a twisted pair cable from the switcher (or HDMI TX or

Multi-Format TX) to the DXLink connector on the HDMI RX.

2. HDMI Out connector – Attach the HDMI cable that goes to the destination device.*

3. ICS LAN 10/100 connector (optional) – Attach a twisted pair cable from this connector to a LAN.

(For NetLinx programming information, see page 71.)

4. USB port (optional) – Connect to a hub using a USB-A cable; connect keyboard and mouse to the

hub. (This port is for sending keyboard / mouse commands to a PC.) The USB LED on the front

monitors this port. (The USB port will be supported in a future firmware upgrade.)

5. Stereo Audio Out connector (optional) – Plug the audio cable (that goes to the audio destination)

into the stereo audio jack. For audio precedence information, see page 44. For information on audio

SEND_COMMANDs (including enabling the analog audio format), see page 76.

* DVI cable can be used instead (via a DVI-to-HDMI cable adapter); however, the advanced audio

support from HDMI will not be available.

Note: When digital audio and/or analog stereo audio cables are plugged in, the Audio LEDs on the

front of both modules turn green to show that audio is present and is being incorporated into the

HDMI line and is also available on the HDMI RX at the Audio Out connector.

Note: The ID Pushbutton places the HDMI RX in ID Mode for setting the NetLinx ID (device only)

and provides additional functionality, such as placing the device in Static IP Mode or DHCP Mode.

For information, see page 60.

Tip: If scaling adjustments are necessary, use SEND_COMMANDs (see page 71). If connected to

an Enova DGX 16/32 output, use DGX Configuration Software via the switcher for scaling.
