Routing Audio Signals - AMX DGX1600-ENC Hardware Reference Manual

Attaching the HSSI SMA (Sub-miniature version A) Cable
An HSSI (High-Speed Serial Interface) SMA cable (AMX part # 64-0051) is provided when Dante Audio Switching Boards are either
purchased separately or with an enclosure. The HSSI cable attaches from the ASB input board to the ASB output board and is
required on all enclosure models except the Enova DGX 6400. Do not dispose of or break this cable as Dante Audio Switching
Boards will not function without it.
NOTE: While the newest Enova DGX 100 Series enclosures no longer require the HSSI cable for Dante Audio Switching Boards, it
remains best practice to install the HSSI cable during initial setup of Enova DGX 800/1600/3200 systems.
TIP: The command ?EXT_AUD sent to 5002:1:0 responds with TRUE when the cable is attached and the Audio Switching Boards are
fully functional.
FIG. 80
Dante Audio Switching Boards with HSSI cable connected
To attach a cable to HSSI SMA connectors (Enova DGX 800/1600/3200 only):
1. Press and hold the cable connector face flat against the Audio Switching Input Board's HSSI SMA connector face.
2. Using your free hand, push cable connector's coupling nut forward until threads begin to engage between connectors.
IMPORTANT: The cable must not be allowed to rotate while tightening the coupling nut to avoid damage to the center conductor
(male pin) on the SMA connector.
3. Rotate coupling nut clockwise until resistance is felt, being careful to avoid cross-threading coupling nut.
4. Attach free-running end of cable to Dante Audio Switching Output Board's HSSI SMA connector per Steps 1-3.
5. Test/check the routing of Dante Audio Switching Board signals (see page 138).

Routing Audio Signals

Audio Routing Capability
The audio routing capability of systems with Dante Audio Switching Boards is system dependent.
Enova DGX 800 enclosure: 16x16 audio inputs and outputs comprised of 8 audio only inputs/outputs and 8 video with

embedded audio inputs/outputs
Enova DGX 1600 enclosure: 24x24 audio inputs and outputs comprised of 8 audio only inputs/outputs and 16 video with

embedded audio inputs/outputs
Enova DGX 3200 enclosure: 40x40 audio inputs and outputs comprised of 8 audio only inputs/outputs and 32 video with

embedded audio inputs/outputs
Enova DGX 6400 enclosure: 80x80 audio inputs and outputs comprised of 16 audio only inputs/outputs and 64 video with

embedded audio inputs/outputs
In the System Configuration interface, the Audio Virtual Matrix (VM 2) is controlled by selecting the Switch Mode: Audio button.
Virtual Matrix (VM) sizes reflect the model of the enclosure. VM 2 includes audio-only signals and audio embedded on video signals:
Enova DGX 800 will have 8x8 VMs with the exception of VM2 Audio which will be 16x16

Enova DGX 1600 will have 16x16 VMs with the exception of VM2 Audio which will be 24x24

Enova DGX 3200 will have 32x32 VMs with the exception of VM2 Audio which will be 40x40

Enova DGX 6400 will have 64x64 VMs with the exception of VM2 Audio which will be 80x80

For routing purposes, the audio matrix I/O paths are numbered as follows:
A/V and Video input and output ranges cover the basic switching size of the system: 8x8, 16x16, 32x32, or 64x64

Audio only input and output ranges cover the embedded audio as part of the basic switching size of the system, plus the

audio available on the Dante Audio Switching Boards in the expansion slots, plus the assignment of one input as a
downmixed audio path, which is routed as a separate input:
