About the AMX Enova DGX DxLink Output Option Card For AMX 32/16 Enova System FG1058-580
The AMX Enova DGX DxLink Output Option Card is a modular expansion card designed for the AMX Enova DGX 32 and DGX 16 Digital Media Switcher chassis, enabling the distribution of high-resolution audio, video, and control signals over standard CATx cabling using AMX's proprietary DxLink transmission technology. When installed in an Enova switcher, this output card provides two independent DxLink transmitter channels, each capable of sending uncompressed, low-latency AV signals, along with bidirectional RS-232, IR, and Ethernet control, to remote DxLink receiver modules or compatible displays. This allows the central switcher to deliver pristine 4K video, multi-channel audio, and full device control to endpoints located up to 330 feet (100 meters) away using a single, cost-effective CAT6a cable, dramatically simplifying the infrastructure for large-scale commercial AV installations in boardrooms, lecture halls, and digital signage networks.
The card is engineered to leverage the full processing power of the Enova system, ensuring signal integrity and compatibility with the latest video standards. It supports high-bandwidth formats, including 4K at 60 Hz with 4:4:4 chroma sampling and HDR, making it suitable for detailed presentation graphics and ultra-high-definition content. Each output channel can be independently configured and managed through the Enova's central control software, allowing for precise EDID management, HDCP 2.2 handling, and system-wide control routing. The DxLink technology also supports Power over DxLink (PoDL), which can deliver power to compatible receivers over the same CAT cable, further reducing installation complexity by eliminating the need for local power outlets at the display location.
The value of this output card lies in its role as a key enabler for scalable, centralized AV distribution. By converting the Enova switcher's output to the DxLink standard, it allows system integrators to design clean, flexible installations where the heavy processing and switching equipment is locked away in a secure closet, while only thin, easy-to-run CAT cables need to be deployed to each display or touch panel. This approach reduces cable clutter, lowers installation costs, and provides a future-proof pathway for signal distribution that can adapt to evolving display technologies. The AMX DxLink Output Card thus transforms the Enova chassis into a comprehensive hub for both switching and long-distance signal delivery, essential for building sophisticated, manageable enterprise AV systems.
