Enova DGX DVI Boards
Applicability Notice
This chapter pertains to the following DVI Input Board and Output Board for the Enova DGX Switcher:
FG1058-600 Input board
FG1058-610 Output board
Enova DGX 8
Enova DGX 8 enclosures hold up to four DVI Boards with four inputs or outputs per board. Each enclosure holds a
maximum of two input and two output boards, accommodating connector configurations up to a maximum of 8x8,
as well as three subsets
(i.e., 4x4, 4x8, or 8x4).
Enova DGX 16
Enova DGX 16 enclosures hold up to eight DVI Boards with four inputs or outputs per board. Each enclosure holds a
maximum of four input and four output boards, accommodating connector configurations up to a maximum of 16x16,
as well as subsets
(e.g., 16x8 or 4x12).
Enova DGX 32
Enova DGX 32 enclosures hold up to sixteen DVI Boards with four inputs or outputs per board. Each enclosure holds a
maximum of eight input and eight output boards, accommodating connector configurations up to a maximum of 32x32,
as well as subsets in increments of four (e.g., 12x20 or 24x8).
Enova DGX 64
Enova DGX 64 enclosures hold up to thirty-two DVI Boards with four inputs or outputs per board. Each enclosure holds
a maximum of sixteen input and sixteen output boards, accommodating connector configurations up to a maximum of
64x64, as well as subsets in increments of four (e.g., 12x48 or 52x8).
Signal Routing
DGX DVI Input Boards route signals to DGX DVI Output Boards or to any other type of Enova DGX Output Boards.
DVI Output Boards can also accept signals from all of the other types of Enova DGX Boards. When routing signals
between different board types, the Enova DGX Switcher automatically converts the signal format to match the output
board.
DGX DVI Boards can also accept HDMI/HDCP with embedded audio signals, but require an EDID change on the input
board to allow a source device to send out signals in that format.
When DGX DVI Input Boards are used with DGX SC Optical Output Boards, the signals are converted to fiber and then
converted by a DGX Receiver before being sent to the destination; see page 116. Note that DGX SC Optical boards can
be used for non-HDCP signals but do not support HDCP; when HDCP protected video signals are routed to them, the
display provides a dark red image to indicate the authentication process failed.
The DVI connectors are designed to route high-resolution DVI signals with or without HDCP
(High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection). DVI Boards support only single link DVI-D signals. The connectors
on the boards are DVI-I connectors, which allow use of cables with either single link DVI-D or DVI-I connectors
(for DVI-I, the analog pins are not used; for DVI-I connector pinout information, see page 83).
