NXB-AP-1000 Interface –
Controlling the Epica DGX 32

XBar Controller Overview

The NXB-AP-1000 Interface includes the option of using an XBar Controller which allows for remote
control of the Epica DGX 32 Matrix Switcher using PC-based Internet browsing software.
Opening the XBar Controller
The XBar Controller can be accessed from any page in the NXB-AP-1000 Interface by opening the
IP Control drop down menu and selecting Controller.
The directions in this chapter assume the following:
To open the XBar Controller:
1.
From any page in the NXB-AP-1000 Interface, open the IP Control drop down menu.
FIG. 44 Access the XBar Controller from the IP Control drop down menu
2.
Select Controller.
The XBar Controller opens.

Executing and Disconnecting Switches with the XBar

The NXB-AP-1000 Interface supports a graphic interface control panel called the XBar Controller. The
XBar has crosspoints for executing and disconnecting switches on an AMX AutoPatch Routing System,
such as the Epica DGX 32.
The XBar can control specific parts of the system through virtual matrices (VMs). For example, if the
Epica DGX 32 is linked to another AMX AutoPatch Matrix Switcher that routes audio, the XBar can
switch audio-follow-video signals on one VM, video on another, and audio on yet another. (This ability
assumes the system has been configured to do so). The VM selected will determine which virtual matrix
is being controlled.
Any NXB-AP-1000 Interface for a single system can be accessed from up to five PCs at the same time.
The XBar for the system can be operated simultaneously from all of the PCs using the same or different
VMs. Simultaneous XBar users can open the VM Selection Pad and update status as needed. Keep in
mind that executing switches on one VM may affect the routing state on the other VMs.
