Installation and Setup
System Setup Options
The following table contains eight options for using DGX SC Optical and DGX DVI Boards in an
Epica DGX 16 or 32 Matrix Switcher in conjunction with DGX Fiber modules.
Note: DGX Fiber modules can also be used in a standalone, end-to-end solution; see the
"Instruction Manual – DGX Transmitters & Receivers."

A typical system setup is illustrated on page 49 and shows an Epica DGX 32 with DGX SC Optical
Boards used in conjunction with DGX TX and DGX RX modules.
The DGX HD-15 TX and the DGX DVI TX modules can be installed interchangeably. The
DGX HD-15 RX and the DGX DVI RX modules are interchangeable as well, providing for an
extremely flexible system. For example, in the same system, a source device can send a DVI signal and
the destination device(s) can receive an RGBHV signal.
Note: In addition to the system setup options listed in the table above, optical signal flow between
Epica DGX 16, 32, and 144 enclosures is supported. Contact your AMX representative for these and
other system design possibilities.
