Epica DGX 32 DVI Boards

Applicability Notice
This chapter pertains to the following Epica DGX 32 DVI (Digital Visual Interface) Boards:
FIG. 28 Epica DGX 32 DVI Input and Output Boards
Epica DGX 32 enclosures are built to hold up to sixteen DGX DVI Boards with four inputs or outputs
per board. Each enclosure holds a maximum of eight input and eight output boards, accommodating
connector configurations up to a maximum of 32x32, as well as subsets in increments of four
(e.g., 12x16 or 24x8).
Note: DGX DVI Boards are the only type of board in the nine pre-engineered Epica DGX 32
systems. The configurations for these systems and their model numbers are on page 7.
Generally, DGX DVI Input Boards can also route signals to other types of Epica DGX 32 Boards, and
DGX DVI Output Boards can also accept signals from other types of Epica DGX 32 Boards. When
routing from one board type to another, the Epica DGX 32 automatically converts the signal format to
match the output board.
DGX DVI boards only support digital, single link (DVI-D) signals. (When DGX DVI Input Boards are
used with DGX SC Optical Output Boards, the signals are converted to fiber and then converted by a
DGX RX; see "System Setup with DGX Modules" on page 47). The connectors on the boards are DVI-I
connectors, which allow use of cables with either DVI-D or DVI-I connectors (for DVI-I, the analog
pins are not used; see the DVI-I connector pinout information on page 53).
The DGX DVI Boards provide EDID emulation support with plug-and-play information provided by the
Epica DGX 32 Distribution Matrix.
Important: The DGX DVI Boards do not support HDCP required compliant signals. In addition, the
DGX DVI Output Board does not support audio or serial data from a DGX SC Optical Input Board.
EDID Programmer software is included on the AMX AutoPatch CD (also available at www.amx.com)
for re-programming the input boards if necessary (see "Appendix A – EDID Programmer" on page 103).
