The Control PC runs the DGX-HD15 Wizard software, which adjusts the source’s video signal as it is
viewed on the Destination Monitor. The TX is connected to a Control PC via the USB port. Once system
setup is complete and no further changes to the display are necessary, you can disconnect the Control PC.
Source PC (or any other RGB or Y/Pb/Pr video source)
The TX is connected to the Source PC via an HD-15 cable. If the Source PC does not have a video card
that supplies RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, or Y/Pb/Pr video format signals at one of the resolution and refresh
rates in the table below, BoardConfig software can be used. To determine the resolution and refresh rate
for the Source PC, see page 47.
Important: If the device’s EDID does not fall within the default resolution parameters provided (check
the EDID timing specifications on page 19), see the “EDID Programmer” chapter on page 51 before
adjusting the video with the DGX-HD15 Wizard.
Destination Monitor
The Destination Monitor is connected to the HD-15 connector on the DGX HD-15 RX or the DVI
connector on the DGX DVI RX. Adjustments made with the wizard are seen on the Destination Monitor.
Test Image Files
Test image files for specific resolutions for viewing when adjusting the display are provided on the AMX
AutoPatch CD (<CDDrive>:\Configuration\BoardConfig\Test Patterns). Test image files are opened* on
the Source PC and subsequently display on the Destination Monitor.
* Adobe Acrobat Reader is required to view the test image .pdf files. Acrobat Reader is a free program
available online at www.adobe.com.
