Instruction Manual – Enova DGX 8/16/32/64 Digital Media Switchers
Options for System Setup with SC Fiber
The table below contains the options in an Enova DGX Switcher for using SC Optical Boards in conjunction with DGX
Fiber Modules.
Note: DGX Fiber Modules for SC Fiber can also be used as a standalone, end-to-end solution; see the
“Instruction Manual – DGX Transmitters & Receivers.”
A typical system setup for a source and a destination is illustrated on page 116 and shows an Enova DGX 32 with
DGX SC Optical Boards used in conjunction with DGX Fiber Modules.
The DGX HD-15 and DGX DVI Transmitter Modules can be installed interchangeably. The DGX HD-15 and DGX DVI
Receiver Modules are interchangeable as well, providing for an extremely flexible system. For example, in the same
system, a source device can send a DVI signal and the destination device(s) can receive an RGBHV signal.
Note: In addition to the system setup options listed in the table above, optical signal flow between Enova
DGX Switcher and Epica DGX 16/32/144 enclosures (from SC fiber connector to SC fiber connector) is
supported. Contact your AMX representative for these and other system design possibilities.
* The transceiver on the DXLink Fiber Boards must match the transceiver on the DXLink Fiber unit, multimode to
multimode and single mode to single mode.
