Appendix A – DGX Configuration Software

DGX Configuration Software Overview

Important: Because signals routed through HDMI, DVI, and DXLink Boards in an Enova DGX
Switcher normally produce a quality image, you will not need the information in this appendix unless

AMX provides a single program, DGX Configuration Software, to handle a variety of tasks for the
HDMI, DVI, and DXLink Boards. This program provides functionality for the following:

* The installation process requires 20 MB of disk space for the DGX Configuration Software installer.
Once installed, the program requires 10 MB of disk space.
Caution: We strongly urge the user not to use video cards with DMS-59 connectors. Video cards
with DMS-59 connectors have been shown to fail consistently and, in the worst case, can corrupt an
EDID data file. A laptop PC with a VGA or DVI out is a good solution. Cards with 2 DVI connectors,
2 VGA connectors, or 1 DVI and 1 VGA connector are also acceptable.
Important: Administrator rights are required to install DGX Configuration Software.
