Enova DGX DXLink™ Twisted Pair 4K Boards
Applicability Notice
This chapter pertains to the following Enova DGX DXLink™ Twisted Pair 4K Input and Output Boards:
FG1061-570 Input board
FG1061-580 Output board
NOTE: For full capability, DXLink Twisted Pair 4K Boards must be used in conjunction with DXLink Twisted Pair 4K Transmitters and
Receivers. Additional compatibility is available between DXLink Twisted Pair 4K equipment and DXLink Twisted Pair equipment (see
the “DXLink Compatibility” Appendix in the “DXLink Twisted Pair 4K Transmitters and Receivers Hardware Reference Manual” at
www.amx.com).
By default, DXLink 4K Input Boards provide a 4K EDID to all connected DXLink Transmitter devices. While DXLink Transmitters are
supported by the DXLink 4K Input Board, the default EDID provided to the Transmitter may result in a source device (computer,
media player, etc) presenting a video resolution out of the Transmitter's range. To ensure the source device presents a resolution
the DXLink Transmitter can support, simply use the Enova DGX 100 Series System Configuration interface to select a non-4K EDID
(All, Wide, Full in non-4K range) to ensure a supported format is requested by the DXLink Transmitter. For information about
compatibility between DXLink Twisted Pair 4K and endpoints, see the DXLink Twisted Pair 4K Transmitters and Receivers Hardware
Reference Manual at www.amx.com.
Enova DGX 800
Enova DGX 800 enclosures can hold up to four DXLink Twisted Pair 4K Boards with four RJ-45 inputs or outputs per board. Each
enclosure holds a maximum of two input and two output boards, accommodating connector configurations up to a maximum of
8x8, as well as three subsets (i.e., 4x4, 4x8, or 8x4).
Enova DGX 1600
Enova DGX 1600 enclosures can hold up to eight DXLink Twisted Pair 4K Boards with four RJ-45 inputs or outputs per board. Each
enclosure holds a maximum of four input and four output boards, accommodating connector configurations up to a maximum of
16x16, as well as subsets (e.g., 16x8 or 4x12).
Enova DGX 3200
Enova DGX 3200 enclosures can hold up to sixteen DXLink Twisted Pair 4K Boards with four RJ-45 inputs or outputs per board.
Each enclosure holds a maximum of eight input and eight output boards, accommodating connector configurations up to a
maximum of 32x32, as well as subsets (e.g., 12x24 or 32x8).
Enova DGX 6400
Enova DGX 6400 enclosures can hold up to thirty-two DXLink Twisted Pair 4K Boards with four RJ-45 inputs or outputs per board.
Each enclosure holds a maximum of sixteen input and sixteen output boards, accommodating connector configurations up to a
maximum of 64x64, as well as subsets (e.g., 12x48 or 52x8).
Signal Routing
DXLink Twisted Pair 4K Input Boards route signals to DXLink Twisted Pair 4K Output Boards or to any other type of Enova DGX
Output Boards. DXLink Twisted Pair 4K Output Boards can also accept signals from all of the other types of Enova DGX Boards.
When routing signals between different board types, the Enova DGX Switcher automatically converts the signal format to match the
output board.
Signals that can be sent over DXLink Twisted Pair 4K Boards include: HDMI, DVI-D, analog video, analog audio, digital audio, and
embedded audio. DXLink Twisted Pair 4K Boards also work in conjunction with Audio Switching Boards (see page 142) or Audio
Insert/Extract Boards (see page 154).
IMPORTANT: Because the DXLink, DVI, and HDMI Boards in the Enova DGX Switcher normally produce a quality image, you will not
need to make adjustments or custom scaler settings unless the installation has special scaling, EDID, or HDCP requirements (if
adjustments are necessary, use the System Configuration interface; see page 163).
NOTE: Enova DGX DXLink Twisted Pair 4K Boards do not support CEC.
