Overview

DG (Digital Generation) DVI MTP

®

 Fiber Transmitter (TX) and Receiver (RX) Modules 

work together (FIG. 2) or in conjunction with MTP Fiber boards on an AMX AutoPatch 
Distribution Matrix. This guide contains complete information for standalone use. 
For use with a distribution matrix, see the distribution matrix’s instruction manual on 
the AMX AutoPatch Software & Documentation CD or visit www.amx.com
A table containing EDID resolutions is included on the reverse.

Mounting Options

Desktop – attach the rubber feet (included) on the bottom of the module.

Rack Trays & Mounting Brackets – contact your AMX representative for details.

Installation

Typical System Setup

The TX receives DVI-D signals from 3 source devices and sends them over one fiber 
cable. The RX accepts the signals from the fiber cable, converts the signals back to 
DVI-D, and sends each signal to its corresponding destination device. 

Attaching Connectors

Note:  The DVI connector numbers on the TX and RX correspond to the Video Signal 
indicators on the front of the TX.

To attach connectors:

1.

Check EDID switch on front of TX to be sure that it remains set to the right (WP).

2.

For each source device, insert the DVI connector into the DVI jack on the rear of 
the TX (FIG. 3). For DVI-I pinout, see FIG. 5.

3.

For each destination device, insert the DVI connector into the DVI jack on the 
rear of the RX.

Caution:  Do not severely bend or kink the fiber cable. These 
actions can cause irreversible damage to the cable.

4.

Insert the MTP/MPO plug on one end of the fiber cable into the Fiber (MTP/MPO) 
jack on the front of the TX (FIG. 4).

5.

Insert the other end of the fiber cable into the Fiber jack on the front of the RX.

6.

For each destination device, insert its DVI plug into a DVI jack on rear of the RX.

7.

Insert the power plugs into the power jacks on the TX and RX (FIG. 4).

8.

Plug the power transformers into the power sources.

DVI-I TX & RX Module Connector Pinouts

* The +5 V on pin 14 on the TX Module will supply a maximum of 55 mA.

TX LED Indicators

Video Signal Indicators

Numbering corresponds to the numbering for DVI connectors on the rear of the TX.

Green – DVI signal path has a valid signal

Red – DVI signal path has lost its signal

Fault Indicator (Optical)

OFF – Optical converter is functioning normally

Red – Optical converter has a fault condition

Troubleshooting

If an indicator on the TX is red, check its corresponding connector and the 
corresponding connector on the source device and then cycle power on the TX.
