Instruction Manual – Enova DGX 8/16/32/64 Digital Media Switchers
Important:
Signals through HDMI Boards in the Enova DGX Switcher normally produce a quality image
and provide support for the most flexible audio settings because the connectors are pre-loaded with the most
common EDID settings to ensure they will work with the source devices. In addition to common EDIDs on
the inputs, SmartScale on every output also greatly helps ensure that all signals are satisfactory. Therefore,
adjustments are not necessary unless the installation has special scaling, EDID, or HDCP requirements.
If changes to EDID settings or scaling parameters are needed, use DGX Configuration Software (see
page 172) which is available at www.amx.com.

HDMI Boards are HDCP 1.4 compatible and feature InstaGate
Pro Technology* for low-latency switching of
HDCP protected content and support computer video up to 1920x1200 and HDTV up to 1080p. The HDMI
boards also support embedded audio, both linear PCM (stereo audio) and non-linear PCM (Dolby Digital,
DTS, Dolby TrueHD, etc.).
If an HDCP protected signal is switched from an HDMI Input Board to an output board which does not
support HDCP (e.g., the DGX SC Optical Output Board), the system will not allow the switch and will
provide a dark red image to that output to indicate the authentication process failed.
HDMI Boards meet HDCP Standards. For complete information on HDCP functionality for HDMI boards,
see “HDCP Support on Enova DGX Switchers” on page 75.
HDMI Boards provide EDID emulation support with plug-and-play information provided by the Enova DGX
Switcher.
HDMI Output Boards feature SmartScale Technology which automatically responds to the display’s preferred
EDID information and scales the video to the best resolution and video parameters for that display without
manual setup (see page 174).
* InstaGate Pro Technology eliminates HDCP latency and interruptions on all displays in a system. (These conditions
are typically experienced when HDCP authenticates HDMI source and destination devices.) With InstaGate Pro
Technology, when a source requires HDCP encrypted content, the inputs and compliant downstream devices are
automatically authenticated – it just works.
