Instruction Manual – Enova DGX 8/16/32 Digital Media Switchers
The DGX HD-15 and DGX DVI Transmitter Modules can be installed interchangeably. The
DGX HD-15 and DGX DVI Receiver 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
Enova DGX Switcher and Epica DGX 16/32/144 enclosures (from SC fiber connector to SC fiber
connector) is supported. Contact your AMX representative for these and other system design
possibilities.
