Instruction Manual – Enova DGX 8/16/32/64 Digital Media Switchers
System Setup with DXLink Fiber, Duplex Units
DXLink Fiber Input and Output Boards, Duplex
must
be used in conjunction with DXLink Fiber TX and RX, Duplex
units. Compatible DXLink Fiber units are listed on page 101. System setup options are listed in the lower table on
page 34. For unit installation details, see the unit’s
Quick Start Guide
or
Instruction Manual
.
When the TX / RX units are installed, image adjustment and EDID scaling is automatically applied. For almost every
installation, the automatic features on the units 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
–
DXLink Fiber Transmitters and Receivers
at www.amx.com.
The distance from a DXLink Fiber TX unit to a DXLink Fiber Input Board can be up to the maximum specified in the
table below and the same for the distance from the DXLink Fiber Output Board to the DXLink Fiber RX unit. The cable
run length depends on the quality of the cable (see specifications in table below).
The system setup in FIG. 55 illustrates DXLink Fiber Boards, Duplex used in conjunction with a DXLink Fiber, Duplex
Transmitter and Receiver.
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.
Destination Device Support Problems
Occasionally destination devices can cause problems in the system due to lack of signal support.
Audio
– If you experience audio problems, it may be because you are trying to pass Dolby or DTS or high
PCM frequency rates and the destination device does not support them.
Video
– If you experience video problems, it may be because you are trying to pass a video format that the
destination device does not support.
In either of these cases, re-programming the EDID may help resolve the problem (see page 182).
