Overview
The Enova® DVX-3155HD is an all-in-one controller, AV matrix switcher, scaler,
analog to digital signal converter, twisted pair transmitter and amplifier with built­in professional grade audio processing. Easily integrate HDCP into system designs
and enjoy hassle free plug-and-play operation. No tools, no delays, and no key
constraints – it just works with AMX's exclusive InstaGate Pro® Technology.
Designed to simplify system design and provide a future proof solution, the DVX­3155HD's multi-format video inputs support analog and digital signals including
HDMI with HDCP sources - all in the same connector. The state-of-the-art
professional grade audio DSP delivers quality audio throughout a room. Built-in
SmartScale® Technology outputs video that is perfectly scaled for each connected
display, eliminating the integration challenges that can occur when sources and
displays have different optimal resolutions - making the DVX-3155HD easy to
specify, easy to install and easy to use

Common Applications

Ideal All-In-One Presentation Switcher designed to dramatically simplify AV control and distribution in medium
and large conference rooms, classrooms and auditoriums. The flexible DVX-3155HD is perfect for any room with a
mix of analog and digital sources, multiple displays, or rooms that require support for video conferencing.

Features

 All-In-One Presentation Switcher in a 3RU Box – Controller, matrix switcher, scaler, analog to digital

converter, amplifier, plus twisted pair distribution and professional-grade audio DSP

 HDMI/HDCP Switching with Simplicity of Analog – End-to-end distribution of HDMI/HDCP without

interruption or key constraints using InstaGate Pro Technology

 Matrix Switching – Freely route any input to any or all outputs without blocking – 10x4 video switcher and

14x4 audio switcher with audio breakaway

 SmartScale Technology – Automatically responds to the display's declared EDID information and scales the

video to the best resolution and video parameters for that display without manual setup; this prevents
inferior video quality when sources are forced to lower resolutions to support the least capable display in the
system

 AV and Control Over Twisted Pair – Send audio, video, bi-directional control and Ethernet up to 100m over

one standard twisted pair cable

 Analog to Digital Video Conversion With Scaled Outputs – Converts any source signal to digital and uses

SmartScale Technology to automatically output video that is perfectly scaled for each connected display

 Saves Energy – Includes features that dramatically reduce energy utilization. Use the interactive DVX Energy

Savings Calculator to estimate savings for your particular configuration

 Game Changing Device – Standardizing on this box reduces Total Cost of Ownership

Dealer Benefits

 HDCP Made Easy as Analog - No more time-consuming, cumbersome work-around tools to address HDCP

key caching and resolution incompatibilities

 Fully Integrated Solution – All-in-one design simplifies system design, reduces programming time, and saves

time and effort in installation

 Professional Grade Audio – Simplifies installation with built-in DSP, eliminating the need for an external

audio processor

Customer Benefits

 Reduce Costs and Save Space – Realize significant cost savings and space savings with the DVX-3155's all-in-

one-design compared to purchasing individual components

 Picture Perfect with No Delay – Delivers clean, crisp digital video to any display immediately upon request
 Designed with Flexibility For the Future - Built for today's AV needs, but ready for tomorrow's future

advanced needs including 3D video and surround sound

Additional Features

 All-In-One Presentation Switcher – Replaces the need for numerous individual components and equipment,

allowing installers to save time and effort in configuring and programming

 InstaGate Pro Technology – Easily integrate HDCP into system designs and enjoy hassle-free matrix switching

to all compliant displays; no tools, no delays, and no key constraints – it just works

 Multi-Format Ports – Built for analog signals - RGBHV, Component, S-Video, and Composite, and digital

HDMI/HDCP and DVI signals - all on the same connector

 Built-in Professional Grade Audio DSP – Integrated digital signal processor's advanced capabilities, like

independent 10-band parametric EQ, independent input gain adjustments and variable compression, allow
precision tuning to match unique source and room attributes

 3D Support - Pass through latest video formats including 3D and Deep Color
 Surround Sound Support - Pass through high definition surround sound including DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD
 DXLink

TM

Twisted Pair Outputs - Send audio, video, bi-directional control and Ethernet to DXLink HDMI

Receivers up to 100m away over one twisted pair cable

 DXLink Twisted Pair Inputs - Receive audio and video from DXLink HDMI and Multi-Format Transmitters and

deliver bi-directional control, Ethernet and power up to 100m away over one twisted pair cable – for more
details and helpful cabling information, reference the white paper titled Cabling for Success with DXLink, or
contact your AMX representative

 Audio Breakaway - Stereo audio from any analog input or de-embedded from any HDMI input can be broken

away from its associated video, processed through the DSP, and switched independently to any analog, HDMI
or S/PDIF audio output
