AMX DXF-RX-MMD - DXLink HDMI Multimode Duplex Fiber Receiver in Black Finish

The AMX DXF-RX-MMD is a high-performance DXLink HDMI Multimode Duplex Fiber Receiver, designed to seamlessly integrate into high-definition AV systems while providing exceptional video and audio quality over long distances. With the ability to transmit HDCP-compliant HDMI video signals over multimode fiber up to 300 meters, the DXF-RX-MMD offers a robust, secure solution for critical AV installations that demand both quality and reliability. The receiver supports the latest HDMI 2.0 standards and integrates SmartScale Technology to automatically optimize video resolution, ensuring that each connected display receives the most accurate image possible without manual intervention.

One of the key features of the DXF-RX-MMD is its support for 4K60 4:4:4 video resolution, ensuring users enjoy the full fidelity of their source material. The SmartScale Technology automatically adjusts the video signal according to the display's EDID (Extended Display Identification Data), delivering an optimized image that perfectly matches the capabilities of the screen. This intelligent scaling function eliminates the common challenges associated with resolution mismatches between source devices and displays, ensuring superior video quality across the board. The receiver supports all standard video resolutions from 480p to 4K, and it's capable of passing through both progressive and interlaced video formats, including 1080i and 720p. Furthermore, it supports advanced video formats like HDR10 and 36-bit Deep Color for a more dynamic and vivid viewing experience.

The DXF-RX-MMD provides a reliable and secure means of transmitting audio, video, control, and Ethernet signals over fiber. It operates with a transport layer throughput of up to 10.3 Gbps, supporting data transmission for both video and audio without signal degradation. The unit uses LC duplex connectors, which conform to ANSI TIA/EIA 604-10 (FOCIS 10A) standards, ensuring seamless connectivity and superior signal integrity. This is especially important in environments where long cable runs are required, as fiber is naturally immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring the highest-quality signal is delivered with minimal risk of disruption.

The DXF-RX-MMD also provides several key control features that are critical in professional AV setups. It includes built-in IR and RS-232 control ports, allowing users to manage and control source devices remotely. These ports are fully integrated into the receiver's functionality, enabling easy management of connected devices without the need for additional control hardware. Furthermore, the ICS LAN port offers Ethernet connectivity, enabling users to control and monitor the system over a network, including interfacing with the AMX Enova DGX Digital Media Switcher for centralized control. With these built-in control options, users can streamline their system setup and avoid the complexity of additional wiring and equipment.

The receiver is designed to be flexible and convenient in terms of installation and integration. Its low-profile design makes it suitable for discreet mounting behind displays or above ceiling-mounted projectors. The unit also supports multiple mounting options, including V-Style surface mounts, rack mounts, and pole mounts, offering flexibility in various system configurations. The DXF-RX-MMD is also field-serviceable, with easily replaceable SFP modules that allow users to switch between multimode and single-mode fiber depending on their specific needs.

The DXF-RX-MMD meets rigorous regulatory standards, including UL 60950-1, CE, and RoHS compliance, ensuring that it adheres to the highest safety, environmental, and performance standards. Additionally, the receiver is certified for Class 1 eye safety in accordance with IEC 60825-1 and CDRH requirements, making it a reliable choice for long-term, secure operation in sensitive environments.
