System Setup with DXLink Fiber, Duplex and Simplex Units
DXLink Fiber Input and Output Boards must be used in conjunction with DXLink Fiber TX and RX units. Compatible DXLink
Fiber units are listed on page 136. System setup options are listed in the table on page 46. For unit installation details, see
the units’ Quick Start Guide or Hardware Reference Manual.
When the TX and RX units are installed, image adjustment and EDID scaling is automatically applied. For almost every
installation, the automatic features on the units result in a quality image on the monitor. If the installation has special
requirements and needs additional adjustment or if you need product specifications for the modules, refer to the
Hardware Reference Manual – DXLink Fiber Transmitters and Receivers at www.amx.com
.
The distance from a DXLink Fiber TX unit to a DXLink Fiber Input Board can be up to the maximum specified in the table
below and the same for the distance from the DXLink Fiber Output Board to the DXLink Fiber RX unit. The cable run length
depends on the quality of the cable (see specifications in the table below, which apply to both Duplex and Simplex
hardware).
The system setup in FIG. 53 illustrates DXLink Fiber Boards, Duplex used in conjunction with a DXLink Fiber, Duplex
Transmitter and Receiver. Setup for DXLink Fiber, Simplex equipment is similar but without the return path.
IMPORTANT: See the DXLink Fiber Hardware Compatibility section on page 135.
