Epica DGX 16 and Epica DGX 32 Instruction Manual
Customizing the XBar Controller
The NXB-AP-1000 interface provides control for an AMX AutoPatch Routing System with the XBar
Controller. The XBar displays crosspoints for the input and output channels.
Options for customizing the XBar are:
Setting the virtual matrix (VM) for XBar control
Setting the size of the XBar window
The settings for these options are located on the same page (accessible from IP Control drop down
menu).
Setting the Initial VM to Display
The initial virtual matrix (VM) for executing switches can be set. The VM is displayed in the VM title
block in the upper left corner of the XBar. The default VM for executing switches that will display for all
XBar Controllers that are launched for the system can be specified from NXB-AP-1000 interface.
To set the initial virtual matrix that will display in the XBar:
1.
If the XBar is open, close before proceeding.
2. From the IP Control drop down menu, select Preferences.
3. In the Initial VM Displayed field, enter the virtual matrix number (the Epica DGX 16 and 32
normally have two virtual matrices: VM 0 = all; VM 1 = video).
Note: If you want the default VM to be the first virtual matrix discovered during bootup (no matter
what its number), enter a value of -1.
4. Click Accept. The next time the XBar is launched, the newly designated default VM will display in
the VM title block.
Setting the Size of the XBar Window
The size of the XBar applet can be changed from its default window size of 800x580. The minimum size
is 300x300; the maximum size is 2000x2000. You may need to experiment a little to find the optimal
display size for your PC.
To set the size of the XBar applet window:
1.
If the XBar is open, close before proceeding.
2. From the IP Control drop down menu, select Preferences.
3. In the Window Size fields, enter the desired width and height for the window.
4. Click Accept. The next time the XBar is launched, it will open at the new setting size.
