Executing A Test Switch - AMX Enova DGX 8 Instruction Manual

Executing a Test Switch

For new system installations, we recommend executing a test switch to verify the system is working correctly before
attaching all inputs and outputs. You must first disconnect the factory default switch of Input 1 routed to all outputs on
Virtual Matrix 1 (Level 1).
You can disconnect the factory default switch and execute a test switch from one (or more) of the following:





Before executing the test switch:
 Disconnect the factory default switch and make sure the first two source devices and the first two destination
 Any applicable DGX DXLink Modules / Wallplates or DGX Fiber Modules must also be installed
 Power must be applied to the enclosure and then to the source and destination devices.
When executing a test switch, we suggest routing Input (source) 1 to Output (destination) 2 on the default virtual
matrix of VM 0, unless you know the system was ordered with custom VMs.
After the test switch has executed successfully:
 If necessary, adjust the image with DGX Configuration Software, which is available at www.amx.com. This
 Disconnect the test switch before finishing the installation.
HDMI and DVI Boards – Additional Information
Before executing a test switch with HDMI and DVI Boards, we recommend reading the applicable board chapter which
covers HDCP issues and any EDID changes that may be needed (see the "Enova DGX HDMI Boards" chapter on
page 70 and the "Enova DGX DVI Boards" chapter on page 79).
