Attaching Video Input and Output Cables
Input and output connectors are the attachment points for source and destination devices that connect to the system.
Enova DGX 800
Viewed from the rear of the enclosure, the Enova DGX 800/1600 input boards (for attaching sources) are on the left, and
the output boards (for attaching destinations) are on the right.
DGX 800 enclosures have 4 horizontal board slots (2 slots each for the input and the output boards, with 4
connectors per board), allowing for a maximum configuration of 8x8. See FIG. 2 on page 35.
Input and output channel numbers correspond to the connectors and are located between the input and output
boards. For inputs, numbering is consecutive from left to right on each board from the top board to the bottom
one; outputs start over at "1" and follow the same pattern.
Enova DGX 1600
Viewed from the rear of the enclosure, the Enova DGX 800/1600 input boards (for attaching sources) are on the left, and
the output boards (for attaching destinations) are on the right.
DGX 1600 Enclosures have 8 horizontal board slots (4 slots each for the input and the output boards, with 4
connectors per board), allowing for a maximum configuration of 16x16. See FIG. 5 on page 37.
Input and output channel numbers correspond to the connectors and are located between the input and output
boards. For inputs, numbering is consecutive from left to right on each board from the top board to the bottom
one; outputs start over at "1" and follow the same pattern.
Enova DGX 3200
Viewed from the rear of the enclosure, the Enova DGX 3200 input boards (for attaching sources) are on the left, and the
output boards (for attaching destinations) are on the right. See FIG. 8 on page 39.
DGX 3200 Enclosures have 16 vertical board slots (8 slots each for the input and the output boards, with 4
connectors per board), allowing for a maximum configuration of 32x32.
Input and output channel numbers correspond to the connectors and are located on the numbering plate (metal
strip) directly above the boards. For inputs, numbering is consecutive from top to bottom on each board from the
left board to right one; outputs start over at "1" and follow the same pattern.
Enova DGX 6400
The Enova DGX 6400 has input boards at the top of the enclosure’s rear and output boards below. See FIG. 11 on
page 42.
DGX 6400 Enclosures have 32 horizontal board slots (16 slots each for the input and the output boards, with 4
connectors per board), allowing for a maximum configuration of 64x64.
Input and output channel numbers correspond to the connectors and are located in the middle of the enclosure
between boards on either side. For inputs, numbering is consecutive from left to right on each board from the top
input board on the left to the bottom input board on the left, continuing on the top input board on the right to the
bottom input board on the right. Outputs start over at "1" and follow the same pattern.
Cabling Specific Connector Types

Input and Output Signal Cables
CAUTION:
If you are connecting switching systems via their DXLink ports (applies to DXLink Twisted Pair 4K Boards, DXLink
Twisted Pair Boards, and DXLink Fiber Boards), be sure to read the information on page 125 (DXLink Twisted Pair 4K), on
page 118 (DXLink Twisted Pair), and on page 144 (DXLink Fiber).
If using cable management bars, install them before attaching the cables (see page 50).
Before connecting all of the input and output cables and wires, attach only the ones for the first two sources and
destinations (and any applicable transmitters and receivers). Complete the remaining installation tasks (applying power
and any system setup though the System Configuration interface), and then disconnect the factory default switch and
execute a test switch (see page 58). When the test switch is successful, attach the remaining input and output cables and
wires.
