System Setup with DGX Fiber Modules
Epica DGX SC Optical Input and Output Boards must be used in conjunction with AMX DGX Fiber TX
and RX Modules. Compatible DGX Fiber Modules are listed on page 96. System setup options are listed
in a table on page 28. For module installation details, see the module’s Quick Start Guide or Installation
Manual.
Note: Along with the video signal, the DGX SC Optical Boards support embedded digital audio and
analog stereo audio from the DGX Fiber Modules. When installed in an Enova DGX Switcher, these
boards do not support serial data or control.
When the TX / RX Modules are installed, image adjustment and EDID scaling is automatically applied.
For almost every installation, the automatic features on the modules result in a quality image on the
monitor. If the installation has special requirements and needs additional adjustment or if you need
product specifications for the modules, refer to the Instruction Manual – DGX Transmitters & Receivers
at www.amx.com.
The distance from a DGX Fiber TX Module to a DGX SC Optical Input Board can be up to 3,000 feet
(914.4 m) and another 3,000 feet (914.4 m) from the DGX SC Optical Output Board to the DGX Fiber RX
Module. For specifications details, see page 96.
Important: Signals which are not supported are: HDCP, 3D formats, any other video signal above
1920x1200, Deep Color, and any audio signals originating in a format other than 2 channel PCM
digital or analog stereo audio. When HDCP protected video signals are routed through fiber, the
display provides a dark red image to indicate the authentication process failed. When compressed
audio signals are routed, the display goes blank. Non-HDCP signals are accepted.
The system setup in FIG. 51 illustrates DGX SC Optical Boards used in conjunction with DGX Fiber
Modules. The DGX HD-15 TX and the DGX DVI TX Modules can be installed interchangeably.
DGX HD-15 RX and the DGX DVI RX Modules are interchangeable as well, providing for an extremely
flexible system. For example, in the same system the source device can send a DVI signal and the
destination device can receive an RGBHV signal.
Tip: For systems with special requirements – Before installing in the final location, place the
equipment close together, so the Control PC and the destination monitor can be seen simultaneously
if adjustments are necessary.
