AMX DG RGBHV MTP Quick Start Manual

Overview

DG (Digital Generation) RGBHV MTP
Modules work together (FIG. 2) or in conjunction with fiber boards on an AMX
AutoPatch Distribution Matrix. This guide contains complete information for stand-
alone use. For use with a distribution matrix, see the distribution matrix's instruction
manual on the AMX AutoPatch Software & Documentation CD or visit www.amx.com.

FIG. 2 Typical system setup (USB connection to PC for setup only)
The TX receives RGBHV signals from 3 source devices and sends them over a single
high-density 12-fiber multimode cable. The RX accepts the signals from the fiber
cable, converts the signals back to RGBHV, and sends each RGBHV signal to its
corresponding destination device.
Tip: Before installing in a permanent location, place equipment close together, so the
Control PC and the Destination Monitor can be seen simultaneously during fine tuning.

To attach connectors:

1. Check EDID switch on front of TX to be sure that it remains set to the right (WP).
2. For each source device, insert the HD-15 connector into the RGBHV (HD-15)
jack on the rear of the TX (FIG. 3). The connector number corresponds to the
channel number. For HD-15 pinout, see FIG. 6 on reverse.

FIG. 3 Attach HD-15 and power cables
3. For each destination device, insert the HD-15 plug into the RGBHV jack on the
rear of the RX. The connector number corresponds to the channel number.
Caution: Do not severely bend or kink the fiber cable. It can cause
irreversible damage to the cable.
4. Insert the MTP/MPO plug on one end of the fiber cable into the Fiber (MTP/
MPO) jack on the front of the TX (FIG. 4).

Attach fiber cable
5. Insert the other end of the fiber cable into the Fiber jack on the front of the RX.
6. Insert the power plugs into the power jacks on the TX and RX (FIG. 3).
7. Plug the power cords into the power sources.
Important: Do not set the EDID switch to W (Write) unless directed to do so by
technical support.

To adjust resolution / refresh rate for a channel:

1. Set the rotary switch on the front to position 9 "AutoResolution" using a small
screwdriver (see FIG. 5 for rotary switch alignment).
Preset resolution/refresh settings (Step 1 above)
USB connection
for wizard option
(Step 4 below)
FIG. 5 Adjust one channel at a time
If fine tuning is necessary:
2. Determine the resolution/refresh setting for the Source PC* attached to the
channel (see instructions on reverse in first column).
3. Set rotary switch to preset number – 0, 1, or 2 – whose default settings (see
table below) correspond closest to the Source PC's settings per Step 2.
4. Insert USB plug from running Control PC into USB jack on the front of the TX.
Windows recognizes the new device as an HID and installs default drivers.
5. Adjust the image using the supplied software, the RGB-Optical Wizard (see
"Video Display Adjustment" on reverse in first column).
*If source resolution is changed later, a new preset or adjustment sequence is needed.
Tip: After a resolution / refresh file has been fine-tuned using the Wizard, it can be
saved and then used for other channels connected to the same type of equipment.
