System Setup Options

The following table contains eight options for using DGX SC Optical and DGX DVI Boards in an
Epica DGX 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
documentation for the modules.

A typical system setup is illustrated on page 47 and shows an Epica DGX 32 with DGX SC Optical
Boards used in conjunction with a DGX TX and a DGX RX.
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 an
Epica DGX 32 and an Epica DGX 144 is supported. Contact your AMX representative for this and
other system design possibilities.
