Epica DG DVI (Digital Visual Interface) Boards

Applicability Notice
This chapter pertains to the following Epica DG (Digital Generation) DVI boards:
FIG. 20 Epica DG DVI boards
Epica DG enclosures are built to hold up to eighteen DG DVI boards with eight DVI-I and four DMS-59
connectors each. The DMS-59 connectors break out to allow two DVI connections each for a total of 16
inputs or outputs per board. Each enclosure holds a maximum of nine input and nine output boards,
accommodating connector configurations up to a maximum of 144x144, as well as subsets in increments
of sixteen (e.g., 128x64 or 80x112).
Generally, DG DVI input boards route signals to other types of Epica DG boards, and DG DVI output
boards can accept signals from other types of Epica DG boards. When routing from one board type to
another, the Epica DG automatically converts the signal format to match the output board.
DG DVI boards only route single link DVI-D signals. However, they have DVI-I connectors, which
allow use of cables with DVI-D connectors or with DVI-I connectors. The DG DVI boards also have
local DDC (Display Data Channel) support with plug-and-play information provided by the Epica DG
Distribution Matrix.
Note: The DG DVI board does not support HDCP required compliant signals.
EDID Programmer software is included on the AMX AutoPatch CD (also available at www.amx.com)
for programming the input boards if necessary (see "Appendix A – EDID Programmer" on page 61).
