Instruction Manual – DXLink™ Twisted Pair Transmitters/Receiver
ID Pushbutton Functions
The ID Pushbutton is located on the right front of the modules and on the left edge of the Wallplate TX.
The ID Pushbutton can be used to perform four types of initial configuration settings:
Toggle between DHCP and static IP addressing
Assign a device address
Reset the factory default settings
Restore the factory firmware image
The functions performed depend on when and for how long the ID Pushbutton is pressed and held. For
complete ID Pushbutton information, see page 60.
Note: ID Pushbutton functions can also be implemented using Telnet commands (see page 101).
HDMI RX Scaling Button and Scaling Modes
The Scaling button is located on the front of the HDMI Receiver Module. Pressing the Scaling button
cycles the module through the three scaling options: Bypass, Auto, and Manual.
Bypass Mode – allows the video signal to display over the destination device without altering
the signal’s resolution.
Auto Mode (default) – allows the destination device to choose the resolution it needs (this
mode is AMX’s SmartScale
®
Technology in action).
Manual Mode – allows the user to configure the resolution that the video will display through
a destination device.
Selecting a Scaling Mode results in the module maintaining or altering the source device’s resolution as
it is passed along to the destination device.
The Scaling Mode can be set on the HDMI RX with the Scaling button (see instructions below), with
DGX Configuration Software, or with SEND_COMMANDs (see page 73).
To set the scaling option (mode):
1.
Press the Scaling button on the HDMI RX once or twice until the LED for the desired scaling option
illuminates solid green.
Bypass Mode
Bypass Mode allows the video signal to display over the destination device without altering the signal’s
resolution.
Note: Interlaced and progressive video are supported into the Transmitters; progressive is only
supported out of the Receiver unless it is in the Bypass mode, which is non-scaling.
Auto Mode
At initial power up, the HDMI RX defaults to the Auto scaling option.
Note: If the output cable is disconnected from the HDMI RX or if no EDID can be found on the
destination device, the Bypass LED will be constant green and the Auto LED will blink. This indicates
that the HDMI RX has switched to the Bypass scaling option and is waiting for EDID information.
As soon as a valid EDID is found, the HDMI RX will revert to the Auto scaling option.
