Instruction Manual – Enova DGX 8/16/32/64 Digital Media Switchers
2.
Select a position in the rack for the enclosure that is accessible and does not restrict airflow.
3.
Position the enclosure in the rack. Screw in the rack ear screws on each side.
4.
Audio Insert/Extract Boards only – Remove the boards (see page 123) and set the DIP switches to either insert or
extract audio (see page 124). This is the only mechanism for configuring the insert/extract functionality.
5.
Recommended for SC Optical and DXLink Fiber Boards – Attach the provided cable management bars to the input
and output boards (see page 39).
6.
Attach
only
the first two source and destination devices.
If connecting devices to
HDMI or DVI Boards
, see the special information for these boards below.
If connecting devices to
DXLink Twisted Pair Boards,
the boards require DXLink HDMI Transmitters and
Receivers. Install the Transmitters and Receivers between the first two source and destination devices and
the DXLink Boards (see “System Setup with DXLink™ Transmitters and Receivers” on page 87
and the
product’s documentation).
If connecting devices to
DXLink Fiber Boards
, the boards require DXLink Fiber Transmitters and
Receivers. Install the Transmitters and Receivers between the first two source and destination devices and
the DXLink Fiber Boards (see “System Setup with DXLink™ Fiber, Duplex Units” on page 105
and the
product’s documentation).
If connecting devices to
SC Optical Boards
, the boards require DGX Fiber Modules. Install the modules
between the first two source and/or destination devices and the SC Optical Boards (see “System Setup with
DGX Fiber Modules” on page 116 and the modules’ documentation).
If wiring devices to
Audio Insert/Extract Boards
, see page 119.
7.
Attach power cords to all power receptacles on the enclosure, then turn on the entire system (see page 42).*
We recommend using a surge protector and/or an AC line conditioner.
8.
Set up the system using the integrated NetLinx Master (see page 46):
9.
Disconnect the factory default switch and execute a test switch to make sure the system is working properly (see
page 56).
10.
When the test switch works correctly, attach the remaining source and destination devices and any additional
required transmitters and receivers. If applicable, wire remaining connectors on the Audio Insert/Extract Board(s).
* Power Budget Planning – If an Enova DGX 32 system contains DXLink Twisted Pair Boards, be sure to read the
section on “Power Budget Planning” on page 93. The power draw for the system should be calculated in order to
maintain the power redundancy of the power supplies in the enclosure. Calculating the power draw also helps determine
how many DXLink Twisted Pair Transmitters and Receivers can be powered via the switcher.
Special Information for HDMI and DVI Boards
If the system contains HDMI and/or DVI Boards, configuration of the boards may be necessary. DGX Configuration
Software is available for configuring the boards (see page 172). This software is available at www.amx.com.
Special Information for the Audio Insert/Extract Board
If the system contains Audio Insert/Extract Boards, the connector default settings may need to be changed for insertion
and extraction of audio, see page 123.
Rack mounting screws
aligned with rack
Important:
For position in rack,
see “Caution” at bottom of page 36.
Caution:
On systems with SC fiber connectors and/or fiber transceivers, we recommend using the provided
cable management bars or some other type of cable management system to avoid damage to the fiber
cables.
