Enova DGX HDMI Boards

Attaching Cables

Viewed from the rear of the enclosure, the input boards (for attaching sources) are on the left, and the
output boards (for attaching destinations) are on the right.
Enova DGX 8/16 – Input and output channel numbers correspond to the connectors and are located
between the input and output boards. For inputs, numbering is consecutive from left to right on each
board from the top board to the bottom board; outputs start over at 1 and follow the same pattern.
Enova DGX 32 – Input and output channel numbers correspond to the connectors and are located on the
numbering plate (metal strip) directly above the boards. For inputs, numbering is consecutive from top to
bottom on each board from the left board to right board; outputs start over at 1 and follow the same
pattern.
Note: The HDMI connector has a center screw for locking capability.
To connect HDMI connectors:

Important: If a device with an EDID (e.g., a video processor) is installed between the output and
destination monitor, the scaler override function will read the EDID for that device. If this happens,
we suggest you try either reading the EDID directly from the destination device and applying it to the
output as a fixed override scaler setting (see page 171) or setting a custom resolution (see
page 165).
Executing a Test Switch for an HDMI Board
We recommend becoming familiar with how HDMI switching works in an Enova DGX Switcher by
reading the rest of this chapter before executing a test switch. We also recommend executing a test
switch to verify the system is working correctly and then disconnecting the test switch before finishing
the installation. For information on executing test switches, see page 49.

HDCP Support on Enova DGX Switchers

The Enova DGX HDMI Boards provide true matrix switching for complete distribution of high
resolution digital video and embedded audio from the sources to the destinations (audio can also be
inserted or extracted with the use of Audio Insert/Extract Boards; see page 101). Full HDMI support
allows 1080p protected entertainment content to be switched freely, while its high resolution capabilities
(1920x1200) provide the advantage of being able to use this solution to switch high resolution computer
images. As a result, a single system can handle a combination of computer images and protected content.
Note: This section also applies to DGX DVI Boards and DGX DXLink Boards.
