Epica DGX 16 and Epica DGX 32 Instruction Manual
Note: Multiple independent AMX AutoPatch Routing Systems (each with server connection) can be
controlled from a single PC. Each NXB-AP-1000 Interface can be assigned a unique IP address.
The individual addresses can then be entered as needed in the browser. The IP address displays at
the top of the XBar Controller, indicating which XBar you are using.
Navigating the XBar Controller
The crosspoint images in the XBar’s crossbar field represent the intersections of the input channels and
the output channels on the matrix switcher (the example below shows an Epica DGX 32).
Use the following features to navigate the XBar:
 VM title block – click to open the VM Selection Pad to change the virtual matrix (VM) or
update system status.
 Input channels (on left) – indicate the numbers of the source channels.
 Output channels (on top) – indicate the numbers of the destination channels.
 Blue crosspoint – blue indicates that there is no active signal; click to route the signal (the
crosspoint will remain blue if the switch is not completed).
 Red crosspoint – red indicates an actively routed signal; click to disconnect the signal.
 Cursor over crosspoint – move the cursor over an I/O pair to display its channel numbers.
 Status bar – as crosspoints are selected and deselected, the Status bar displays the
corresponding BCS (Basic Control Structure) command and indicates when the command is
successfully executed.
Note: The VM (virtual matrix) that initially displays in the VM title block is set at the factory to VM 0
(the default). To change the VM, see the next page. To change the initial VM that is displayed every
time you open the XBar, see the directions on page 88.
