Attaching Cables - AMX Epica DG Instruction Manual

Attaching Cables

When attaching DVI input and output cables, refer to the sheet labeled "AutoPatch Epica DG Connector
Guide" that shipped with the system. The sheet shows where to attach each cable on the rear of each
enclosure. Follow the sheet exactly; the system was programmed at the factory to operate only as
indicated on the sheet.
Caution: To avoid damage (and for service), we recommend using lacer bars or some other
type of cable management system with DVI input and output cables.
To connect DVI inputs and outputs:
1. Fasten the DVI-I (or DVI-D) connectors on the cable ends onto the DVI-I receptacles on the boards.
(For DVI pinout information, see page 44.)
FIG. 21 Fasten cables onto input and output connectors
Important: The two DVI connectors on the DMS-59 breakout cable are labeled 1 (bottom
connector) and 2 (top connector). They route signals according to the numbering to the left of
the DMS-59* receptacle: 1 corresponds to the receptacle number with the lower numerical
value and 2 corresponds to the number with the higher numerical value. For example, on the
DMS-59 breakout cable for Inputs 11 and 12 (FIG. 21), the DVI connector labeled 1 routes the
signal for Input 11 and the DVI connector labeled 2 routes the signal for Input 12.
* The configuration file and the internal pathways define each DMS-59 connection as two discrete signal
paths for routing.
To connect DMS-59 inputs and outputs:
1.
Fasten the breakout cables onto the input and output DMS-59 connectors on the board (FIG. 21).
2.
Fasten the DMS-59 cable connectors to the breakout cables (be sure to read the Important note
above).
