Epica DGX 16 and 32 Input and Output Boards

For custom systems and for upgrading pre-engineered systems, the Epica DGX 16 and 32 currently each

support two board types: SC Optical and DVI. Each board fills one slot and has four connectors. Within a

system, a source connected to any of the input boards can be routed to any destination connected to any of

the output boards.

 For general board information, see page 12 and page 35.

 For specific board information, see the applicable board chapter in this manual.

Product Notes

The Epica DGX 16 and 32 are available in both pre-engineered (DVI only) and custom systems in a

variety of input to output configuration sizes and can contain an assortment of input and output boards in a

single enclosure. The Epica DGX 16 and 32 enclosures fit in a broad range of digital and analog

environments and are controllable from a variety of sources.

Note: Because the Epica DGX 16 and 32 Distribution Matrices are available in various board

configurations, the illustrations in this manual may differ from the model(s) you purchased.

Features of the Epica DGX 16 and 32

Epica DGX 32 the range is 4x4 to 32x32 (both come in increments of 4 with upgrade potential).

 DGX Technology provides a common signal transport and matrix switching layer that

transcodes between analog and digital signals.

 Supports uncompressed video resolutions up to 1920x1200 @ 60 Hz, including 1080p.

 Native NetLinx

device.

 AMX Device Discovery enabled through AMX’s AutoPatch Duet module.

 Designed for use with single strand multimode fiber.

 Use in conjunction with DGX Fiber Transmitters and Receivers to send video, audio, and

one-way control over a single fiber cable up to 6,000 feet (1828.8 m) – 3,000 feet (914.4 m)

to the Epica DGX 16 or 32 and 3,000 feet after the Epica DGX 16 or 32.

 DGX SC Optical Boards support RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, and Y/Pb/Pr (Y/Pb/Pr including

1080p) video and DVI formats, depending on the type of DGX Fiber modules used with them.

 DGX SC Optical Boards support embedded analog stereo audio signals (unbalanced stereo

@ a sample rate of 48 kHz) and digital audio signals (PCM over S/PDIF @ 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz,

48 kHz, as well as 96 kHz, which requires a minimum video resolution of 800x600 @ 60 Hz).

 DGX SC Optical Boards also support unidirectional (source to destination) serial data.

 DGX DVI Boards only – provides increased power on every output for use with external DVI

extenders.
