DXLink Fiber Input & Output Boards

Enova Digital Media Switchers - Hardware Reference Manual
Warning: Optical Fiber Products
WARNING: DXLink Fiber units use laser transceivers, which are Class 1 Eye Safe per IEC 60825-1/CDRH requirements. While the
Class 1 category indicates that the invisible laser used is safe, we recommend avoiding direct eye exposure when using any
optical f iber products (see the OSHA directive below).
OSHA Directive
The OSHA Technical Manual (at https://www.osha.gov/dts/osta/otm/otm_iii/otm_iii_6.html) under "VI. Control Measures
and Safety Programs" states: "Direct exposure on the eye by a beam of laser light should always be avoided with any
laser, no matter how low the power."
Signal Routing
DXLink Fiber Input Boards route signals to DXLink Fiber Output Boards or to any other type of Enova DGX Output Boards.
DXLink Fiber Output Boards accept signals from all 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.
IMPORTANT: These boards are compatible only
with other AMX products that support the DXLink Fiber Technology. They
are not
compatible with third-party optical distribution amplifiers or multimode to single mode converters.
The following signals from a DXLink Fiber unit can be sent over DXLink Fiber Boards: HDMI, DVI-D, analog video, and
digital or analog stereo audio.
Supported analog video input signals include RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, Y/Pb/Pr (converted to RGsB), and an RGBHV
output signal.
DXLink Fiber Boards must be used in conjunction with DXLink Fiber units (see the compatibility table on page 135 and the
system setup information on page 140). DXLink Fiber Boards also work in conjunction with AIE Boards (see page 175) or
Audio Switching Boards (see page 164).
HDCP Compliance
If a connected downstream sink is not HDCP compliant, then the DXLink fiber output will not send the signal to it. This does
not affect other outputs the source may be routed to. This allows compliant displays to show content from source devices
even if the source devices are switched to non-compliant displays.
Non-compliant displays can easily be identified because they display a dark red image (via HDMI/DVI outputs) or an
orange image (via a DXLink Fiber RX) to indicate that the authentication process failed.
InstaGate Pro Technology
DXLink Fiber Boards meet HDCP standards and support InstaGate Pro Technology. For complete information on
HDCP functionality for DXLink Fiber Boards, see "HDCP Support on Enova DGX Switchers" on page 98.
DXLink Fiber Boards provide EDID emulation support with plug-and-play information provided by the Enova DGX
Switcher.
DXLink fiber input/output connectors incorporate HDMI Technology, are HDCP 1.4 compatible, feature InstaGate
Pro Technology for low-latency switching of HDCP protected content, and support computer video up to
1920x1200 and HDTV up to 1080p. The DXLink fiber connectors also support embedded audio, both linear PCM
(stereo audio) and non-linear PCM (Dolby Digital, Dolby TrueHD, DTS, etc.).
DXLink Fiber Hardware Compatibility
This section applies to DXLink Fiber Input or Output Boards and their corresponding TX or RX units. Connections are allowed
between matching hardware (Duplex to Duplex or Simplex to Simplex) as well as between mixed hardware (Simplex to
Duplex or Duplex to Simplex) as long as the constraints of multimode to multimode and single mode to single mode are
maintained.
IMPORTANT: Compatibility between hardware requires matching model types: multimode to multimode and single mode
to single mode.
Compatible DXLink Fiber Transmitters and Receivers
NOTE: On the rear of all Transmitter units, the model number is FG1010-36X; on the rear of all Receiver units, the model
number is FG1010-56X.
The multimode and single mode fiber optic transceivers allow for in-the-field replacement.
