For information on the boards included in your system, including connector types, cabling directions, installation
considerations, and specifications, see the specific board chapter in this manual.

DVI Boards – page 79
DXLink Twisted Pair Boards – page 84
DXLink Fiber Boards, Duplex – page 99
SC Optical Boards – page 114
If a system has empty input or output board slots (which are numbered for additional inputs and outputs), the slots can be
used to expand the system. For information on adding or replacing boards, see “Appendix E
–
Adding or Replacing
Boards” on page 217.
Note:
The Audio Insert/Extract (expansion) Board is also available. It provides audio insertion and extraction
functionality and is used in conjunction with HDMI, DVI, DXLink Twisted Pair, and DXLink Fiber Boards (see
“Expansion Boards” on page 23).
Input and Output Board Connectors
The connectors on the input and output boards are the attachment points for source and destination devices that connect
to the system. Viewed from the rear of the enclosure, the input connectors (for attaching sources) are on the left, and the
output connectors (for attaching destinations) are on the right.
Input and output channel numbers correspond to the connectors and are located as follows:
Enova DGX 8/16 – on the vertical numbering plate (metal strip) between the input and output connectors.
Enova DGX 32 – on the horizontal numbering plate (metal strip) directly above the connectors.
Enova DGX 64 – on the vertical numbering plate (metal strip) between the left and right input and left and
right output connectors.
Connectors and Signal Types
* For a DVI connector to support embedded audio on an HDMI signal, the EDID must be updated.
Note:
An analog stereo audio signal from a pluggable 3-position terminal block connector can be inserted
from an Audio Insert/Extract Board onto a DVI or HDMI signal (replaces any existing embedded digital audio
signal). The Audio Insert/Extract Board also works in conjunction with DVI and HDMI signals on DXLink
Twisted Pair and DXLink Fiber boards.
