Example of Typical Setup with DXLink Twisted Pair 4K Transmitter and Receiver
A typical system setup for a source and a destination is illustrated below and shows an Enova DGX 1600 with DXLink Twisted Pair
4K Input and Output Boards used in conjunction with compatible Transmitters and Receivers for transport of HDMI signals.
This type of setup also supports DVI-D signals with the use of a cable adapter.
The Transmitter receives an HDMI signal and an embedded digital audio signal from a source device. Both the video and embedded
audio are transmitted over twisted pair cable to the RJ-45 connector on the DXLink Twisted Pair 4K Input Board. The signal is
routed through the desired DXLink Twisted Pair 4K Output connector to the Receiver, which in turn sends the HDMI signal with
embedded audio on to a destination device. Audio received on the Transmitter can be output on the Receiver’s stereo audio port.
TIP: For systems with special requirements – Before installing in the final location, place the equipment close together, so a PC for
control and the destination monitor can be seen simultaneously if adjustments are necessary. Adjustments can be made using the
System Configuration interface (see page 163).
Functions of DXLink Transmitters and Receivers
The diagram in FIG. 53 shows the functions of DXLink Transmitters and Receivers and the example descriptions contain the device
HDCP key count when used in conjunction with DXLink Boards in an Enova DGX Digital Media Switcher.

Example A: When a Receiver acts like a source, its key does not count. Source device sees 1 key (Transmitter).
Example B: When a Transmitter acts like a sink, the source device sees 1 key (Transmitter).
Example C: When a source device is connected directly to a switcher, the source sees 1 key (switcher input).
