Features of the Epica DGX 16 and 32 (continued)

 Compatible DGX Fiber Receivers 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.

 Pre-loaded with the most common EDID settings on each matrix switcher input connector

(other than fiber connectors) to emulate display response when queried, which makes sure

transmission of the video from the source device is working.

 Custom EDID settings can be loaded on each DVI input with the included EDID Programmer.

 System self-diagnostics (power monitoring, fan control and monitoring, signal and

temperature sensing); plus ships with APDiagnostics software (monitors, displays, and

collects advanced diagnostic information).

 Virtual matrices (levels) / groupings; ships with free matrix switcher configuration software.

 RJ-45 Ethernet (Enc Link) ports support linking to AMX AutoPatch matrix switchers.

 Local presets allow quick recall of a pre-programmed set of switches with a single command;

multiple presets can exist within a system at the same time.

 Global presets allow quick recall of a comprehensive snapshot of all switches.

 Standard RS-232 (Control) port.

 USB (mini-B) port can be used as a virtual Com port for serial communication with a PC.
