FG1061-570-FX vs FGN2122A-SA — Compare
AMX DGX-I-DXL-4K Enova DGX DXLink Twisted Pair 4K Input Board vs AMX NMX-ENC-N2122A JPEG 2000 Digital Cinema Grade AV over IP Encoder, PoE, HDMI, AES67 Support, Stand-alone
The DGX-I-DXL-4K is a 4K input receiver for large AV matrices using twisted-pair cabling over extended distances, while the NMX-ENC-N2122A is a stand-alone encoder that compresses and streams video over IP networks with cinema-grade quality. Choose the DGX board for fixed 4K distribution infrastructure; choose the NMX encoder for broadcast and live-streaming applications requiring near-lossless compression and network flexibility.
No sales tax on orders shipped outside California — total cost beats national retailers that charge sales tax in nearly every state.

Frequently asked questions
What is the main technical difference between these two?
The DGX-I-DXL-4K receives and routes 4K signals over twisted-pair cabling within a matrix system, while the NMX-ENC-N2122A encodes video into IP packets using JPEG 2000 compression for network transmission. One is matrix input/routing; the other is standalone encoding for streaming.
Can the NMX encoder handle 4K, or is it limited to 1080p?
The NMX-ENC-N2122A delivers near-lossless quality at 1080p and supports HD resolutions up to 1920x1200. It is not specified for 4K encoding, making the DGX-I-DXL-4K the choice for 4K distribution.
Which one requires more infrastructure to deploy?
The DGX-I-DXL-4K requires integration into an Enova DGX enclosure and a complete matrix system with DXLink transmitters. The NMX-ENC-N2122A operates stand-alone and only needs network connectivity, making it simpler for point-to-point broadcast and streaming setups.
What about latency and live-event use?
The DGX-I-DXL-4K is zero-latency for passthrough switching. The NMX-ENC-N2122A has ultra-low latency at 1080p/60Hz due to JPEG 2000 encoding, making both suitable for live events but optimized differently—one for matrix switching, one for streaming.
