Epica DGX 32 Instruction Manual
Appendix B – Managing Configuration Files
Applicability Notice
This appendix applies to XNConnect version 2.10.0. XNConnect’s version information is found under
its Help menu. Version 2.10.0 supports full Device Discovery through AMX’s AutoPatch Duet module.
This appendix covers the following general information on using XNConnect configuration software
and basic modifications for customizing the configuration:
Installing XNConnect (see page 111)
Discovering a system (see page 112)
Opening an .xcl configuration file (see page 113)
Navigating the interface (see page 114)
Setting the control panel password (see page 115)
Creating local presets (see page 116)
Loading an .xcl configuration file (see page 118)
Device Discovery support (see page 119)
For complete coverage of XNConnect including modifying virtual matrices and hardware, see the
XNConnect Help file. If your configuration file needs any type of advanced modification, we
strongly
recommend
contacting technical support to request a modified .xcl file or ask for assistance.
Standard Virtual Matrices and XNConnect
The standard virtual matrix for switching signals in an Epica DGX 32 Distribution Matrix is VM 0,
which routes video. For video sources that also include audio (e.g., sources with video and embedded
audio routed through DGX SC Optical Boards), VM 0 routes the video and any embedded audio.
Embedded audio does
not
have a separate virtual matrix for switching and
cannot
be broken away from
the video.
VM 1, which switches exactly the same as VM 0, is also provided as an option for compatibility
purposes with control software and equipment.
Additional VMs can be created and are useful in some situations. Control can be simplified by creating a
separate virtual matrix for the inputs and outputs involved, e.g., if the signal from some of the equipment
can only be routed to part of the destinations due to incompatible Edits or to provide restricted access to
certain source or destinations.
Caution: Virtual matrix modifications are an advanced feature of XNConnect that should not be
attempted unless you are extremely familiar with XNConnect and the AMX AutoPatch Distribution
Matrix being configured.
Note: If you use the advanced feature of creating a new virtual matrix (VM), be aware that the
control panel for the Epica DGX 32 supports a maximum of two digits for virtual matrix numbers.
