Installation and Setup

Instruction Manual – Enova DGX 8/16/32/64 Digital Media Switchers

Executing a Test Switch

For new system installations, we recommend executing a test switch to verify the system is working correctly before

attaching all inputs and outputs. You must first disconnect the factory default switch of Input 1 routed to all outputs on

Virtual Matrix 1 (Level 1).

You can disconnect the factory default switch and execute a test switch from one (or more) of the following:

NetLinx Central Control Processor (Master)

XBar Controller (NetLinx WebConsole via TCP/IP)

Control Panel

BCS (Basic Control Structure) commands over an external controller

An external third-party controller (see product directions)

Before executing the test switch:

 Disconnect the factory default switch and make sure the first two source devices and the first two destination

devices are connected to the input and output connectors (for specific board connector information and

specifications, see the board chapter in this manual).

 Any applicable DGX DXLink Modules / Wallplates or DGX Fiber Modules must also be installed

(see the product’s documentation).

 Power must be applied to the enclosure and then to the source and destination devices.

When executing a test switch, we suggest routing Input (source) 1 to Output (destination) 2 on the default virtual

matrix of VM 0, unless you know the system was ordered with custom VMs.

After the test switch has executed successfully:

 If necessary, adjust the image with DGX Configuration Software, which is available at www.amx.com

. This

software is used for configuring HDMI and DVI Boards (see page 172).

 Disconnect the test switch before finishing the installation.

HDMI and DVI Boards – Additional Information

Before executing a test switch with HDMI and DVI Boards, we recommend reading the applicable board chapter which

covers HDCP issues and any EDID changes that may be needed (see the “Enova DGX HDMI Boards” chapter on

page 70 and the “Enova DGX DVI Boards” chapter on page 79).

NetLinx Central Control Processor (Master)

For disconnecting and executing switches using the NetLinx Central Control Processor, see the chapter on NetLinx

Programming on page 166.

XBar Controller (NetLinx WebConsole via TCP/IP)

For directions on disconnecting and executing switches using the XBar Controller, see page 158.

Control Panel

For directions on disconnecting and executing switches using the Control Panel on the front, see page 133.
