DVI Input and DVI Output Boards
Enova DGX 800
Enova DGX 800 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 1600
Enova DGX 1600 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 3200
Enova DGX 3200 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 6400
Enova DGX 6400 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.
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 79).
NOTE: If the signal is HDMI formatted, DGX DVI Boards can also work in conjunction with AIE Boards (see page 154) or Audio
Switching Boards (see page 142).
IMPORTANT: Signals through DVI Boards in the Enova DGX Switcher normally produce a quality image 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 re-programming of boards is necessary, use the
System Configuration interface (see page 163).
