Instruction Manual – Enova DGX 8/16/32 Digital Media Switchers
Note: HDMI Boards can also work in conjunction with Audio Insert/Extract Boards (see page 101).
Important: Signals through HDMI Boards in the Enova DGX Switcher normally produce a quality
image and provide support for the most flexible audio settings because the connectors are pre-
loaded with the most common EDID settings to ensure they will work with the source devices. In
addition to common EDIDs on the inputs, SmartScale on every output also greatly helps ensure that
all signals are satisfactory. Therefore, adjustments are not necessary unless the installation has
special resolution or EDID requirements. If changes to EDID settings or scaling parameters are
needed, use DGX Configuration Software (see page 157) which is available at www.amx.com.

HDMI Boards are HDCP 1.4 compatible and feature InstaGate Pro Technology* for
low-latency switching of HDCP protected content and support computer video up to
1920x1200 and HDTV up to 1080p. The HDMI boards also support embedded audio, both
linear PCM (stereo audio) and non-linear PCM (Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby TrueHD, etc.).
If an HDCP protected signal is switched from an HDMI Input Board to an output board which
does not support HDCP (e.g., the DGX SC Optical Output Board), the system will not allow
the switch and will provide a dark red image to that output to indicate the authentication
process failed.
HDMI Boards meet HDCP Standards. For complete information on HDCP functionality for
HDMI boards, see “HDCP Support on Enova DGX Switchers” on page 68.
HDMI Boards provide EDID emulation support with plug-and-play information provided by
the Enova DGX Switcher.
HDMI Output Boards feature SmartScale Technology which automatically responds to the
display’s declared EDID information and scales the video to the best resolution and video
parameters for that display without manual setup (see page 159).

Technology eliminates HDCP latency and interruptions on all displays in a system.
(These conditions are typically experienced when HDCP authenticates HDMI source and destination
devices.) With InstaGate Pro Technology, when a source requires HDCP encrypted content, the inputs
and compliant downstream devices are automatically authenticated – it just works.
