Epica DG RGBHV/HD-15 Boards

Board Configuration

The source signal routed through a DG RGBHV/HD-15 input board may need to be adjusted to obtain
optimal display at the destination. Board configuration software, the DG-HD15 Wizard, is provided on
the AMX AutoPatch CD for this purpose.
System Requirements
Control PC
The Control PC runs the DG-HD15 Wizard software, which adjusts the video source signal, as it is
viewed on the destination monitor. The Control PC is connected with a null modem cable to the serial
port on the Epica DG. Once the boards have been configured, the Control PC can be disconnected, unless
further changes to the display settings are necessary.
Source PC (or any other RGB video source)
The Source PC is connected to the DG RGBHV/HD-15 input board. The Source PC must have a video
card that supplies analog RGBHV at one of the resolution and refresh rates in the table below. If you
need to determine the resolution and refresh rate for the Source PC, see page 53.

Destination Monitor
The Destination Monitor can be connected to any of the Epica DG output boards. Adjustments made
with the Wizard are seen on the Destination Monitor.
Test Image Files
Three types of test image files (resolution, color bars, and phase test) for adjusting the display are
provided on the AMX AutoPatch CD. They are located at: <installation folder>\Test Patterns. Test image
files are opened* on the Source PC and subsequently display on the Destination Monitor.
* Adobe Acrobat Reader is required to view the test image .pdf files. Acrobat Reader is a free program
available online at www.adobe.com.
