DXLinkTM Multi-Format Decor Style

Wallplate Transmitters (US)

DX-TX-DWP-BL (FG1010-325-BL)
DX-TX-DWP -WH (FG1010-325-WH)

Overview
The DXLink Multi-Format Decor Style Wallplate Transmitter sends analog or digital
video including HDMI/HDCP, along with embedded audio or supplemental analog
audio up to 100 meters to an Enova DGX Digital Media Switcher, compatible Enova
DVX All-In-One Presentation Switcher, or directly to a DXLink Receiver. It receives
Power over DXLink* from the Enova DGX, Enova DVX (3155HD, 3156HD or 2155HD),
PS-POE-AT-TC High Power PoE Injector or PDXL-2 Dual Power over DXLink
Controller over the twisted pair cable and features both a multi-format analog port
to support legacy devices and an HDMI port to support newer digital devices.

Common Applications

Mount the DXLink Multi-Format Decor Style Wallplate Transmitter in the wall, lectern or popular floor box to
connect guest equipment and send audio and video signals across the room, on the other side of the house or in a
classroom down the hall. Since it is powered remotely, the wallplate can be installed virtually anywhere.

Features

 Only One Cable – Send audio and video, while passing Ethernet signals and power over one twisted pair

cable

 Multi-Format Analog Port and HDMI Port – Supports legacy analog signals - RGBHV, Component, S-Video,

and Composite, and digital HDMI/HDCP, DisplayPort++ and DVI signals

typical HDMI cabling

 Standard Twisted Pair Cable – Save time and effort in installation by leveraging cost effective twisted pair

cable, see the Cabling for Success with DXLink white paper for more details

 Easy Installation – Mounts in standard decor style wallplates
 Power over DXLink* Enabled – Designed for use with Enova DGX or DVX systems with DXLink inputs, PS-POE-

AT-TC (FG423-84) or PDXL-2 (FG1090-170) to provide remotely located Power over DXLink (requires firmware
v1.2.40 or above)

 DXLink Direct Connection – When receiving Power over DXLink* from the PS-POE-AT-TC or PDXL-2, DXLink

Wallplates can be connected directly to a DXLink Receiver for a point-to-point solution

* Power must be supplied by one of the following DXLink Power sourcing devices: Enova DGX 8/16/32/64 Digital Media Switcher (with a
DXLink Twisted Pair Input Board installed), Compatible Enova DVX All-In-One Presentation Switcher (3155HD, 3156HD or 2155HD), PS-POE­AT-TC High Power PoE Injector or PDXL-2 Power over DXLink Controller. AMX only supports the use of these approved Power over DXLink
solutions. Other third party power supplies or non-compatible standard PoE solutions may damage the DXLink equipment.

Dealer Benefits

 HDMI/HDCP with the Simplicity of Analog - Hassle-free plug-and-play operation eliminates the need for

time consuming, cumbersome work-around tools to deal with HDCP key constraints and resolution
incompatibilities

 Installation Friendly - Standard two gang size and remote powering capabilities allows the wallplate to be

installed in virtually any location

 Complements Any Environment - Decor Wallplate is available in black or white and blends well in both

commercial and residential applications

Customer Benefits

 Interruption-Free Content - Exclusive InstaGate Pro® Technology allows audio and video to be switched

quickly and easily to every connected display without the difficulties typically associated with HDCP

 Easily Connect Guest Devices - Provides a versatile solution for environments where sources are consistently

changing

Additional Features

 Power Remotely – Power over DXLink* is carried over twisted pair to simplify installation when used with the

Enova DGX, Enova DVX, PS-POE-AT-TC or PDXL-2

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

Master Audio, Dolby Digital, DTS and 2-channel through 8-channel L-PCM at 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 96 kHz,
192kHz

 HDCP Compliant

* Power must be supplied by one of the following DXLink Power sourcing devices: Enova DGX 8/16/32/64 Digital Media Switcher (with a
