transcodes between analog and digital signals.
Supports uncompressed video resolutions up to 1920x1200 @ 60 Hz, including 1080p.
Native NetLinx
®
device.
AMX Device Discovery enabled through AMX’s AutoPatch Duet module.
Designed for use with single strand multimode fiber.
Use in conjunction with DGX Fiber Transmitters and Receivers to send video, audio, and
one-way control over a single fiber cable up to 6,000 feet (1828.8 m) – 3,000 feet (914.4 m)
to the Epica DGX 32 and 3,000 feet after the Epica DGX 32.
DGX SC Optical Boards support RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, and Y/Pb/Pr (Y/Pb/Pr including
1080p) video and DVI formats, depending on the type of DGX Fiber modules used with them.
DGX SC Optical Boards support embedded analog stereo audio signals (unbalanced stereo
@ a sample rate of 48 kHz) and digital audio signals (PCM over S/PDIF @ 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz,
48 kHz, as well as 96 kHz, which requires a minimum video resolution of 800x600 @ 60 Hz).
DGX SC Optical Boards also support unidirectional (source to destination) serial data.
DGX DVI Boards only – provides increased power on every output for use with external DVI
extenders.
Compatible DGX Fiber Receivers feature SmartScale
™
Technology which automatically
responds to the display’s declared EDID information and scales the video to the best resolution
and video parameters for that display without manual setup.
Pre-loaded with the most common EDID settings on each matrix switcher input connector
(other than fiber connectors) to emulate display response when queried, which ensures
transmission of the video from the source device.
Custom EDID settings can be loaded on each DVI input with the included EDID Programmer.
System self-diagnostics (power monitoring, fan control and monitoring, signal and
temperature sensing); plus ships with APDiagnostics software (monitors, displays, and collects
advanced diagnostic information).
Virtual matrices (levels) / groupings; ships with free matrix switcher configuration software.
RJ-45 Ethernet (Enc Link) ports support linking to AMX AutoPatch matrix switchers.
Local presets allow quick recall of a pre-programmed set of switches with a single command;
multiple presets can exist within a system at the same time.
Global presets allow quick recall of a comprehensive snapshot of all switches.
Standard RS-232 (Control) port.
USB (mini-B) port can be used as a virtual Com port for serial communication with a PC.
Fully redundant (hot-swappable) power supplies (RPS) with independent power paths for
maximum reliability.
Rack mounting ears integral to product design.
AMX Limited Lifetime Warranty included (see
