Appendix H – EDID Programming
DGX Configuration Software Overview
Important:
Because signals routed through DXLink Transmitters normally produce a quality image, you will
not need the information in this appendix unless the installation has special EDID requirements for VGA.
AMX’s DGX Configuration Software has a tabbed view for EDID Programming. This view can be used to re-program
the EDID EEPROM chips for the HD-15 connectors on the DXLink Transmitters, allowing for custom configuration of
the EDID data that is stored on them.
Note:
The remaining tabbed views in the software do not apply to the DXLink units. Scaling and HDCP
settings can be applied via SEND_COMMANDs (see the chapter “NetLinx Programming of DXLink
Transmitters and Receivers” on page 78). If a DXLink Receiver is connected to an Enova DGX Output Board,
DGX Configuration Software can be used via the switcher for scaling (see the “Instruction Manual –
Enova DGX 8/16/32”).
DGX Configuration Software is available at
www.amx.com
(on the Multi-Format Transmitter’s product page) and
includes a standard Help file with detailed information.
PC System Requirements for DGX Configuration Software v1.0.5
Windows 7
and
Windows XP Professional
Minimum Hardware: 166 MHz, 128 MB RAM, 36 MB of free disk space*, 800x600 display, serial
port, video card with dual outputs (see
Caution
below)
Recommended Hardware: 2.0 GHz, 512 MB RAM*
* The installation process requires 36 MB of disk space for the DGX Configuration Software installer. Once installed,
the program requires 10 MB of disk space.
Caution:
We strongly urge the user not to use video cards with DMS-59 connectors. Video cards with
DMS-59 connectors have been shown to fail consistently and, in the worst case, can corrupt an EDID data
file. A laptop PC with a VGA or DVI out is a good solution. Cards with 2 DVI connectors, 2 VGA connectors,
or 1 DVI and 1 VGA connector are also acceptable.
