Enova Digital Media Switchers - Hardware Reference Manual

ESD WARNING

To avoid ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) damage to sensitive components, make sure you are properly grounded before touching any internal materials.

When working with any equipment manufactured with electronic devices, proper ESD grounding procedures must be followed to make sure people, products, and tools are as free of static charges as possible. Grounding straps, conductive smocks, and conductive work mats are specifically designed for this purpose. Anyone performing field maintenance on AMX equipment should use an appropriate ESD field service kit complete with at least a dissipative work mat with a ground cord and a UL listed adjustable wrist strap with another ground cord. These items should not be manufactured locally, since they are generally composed of highly resistive conductive materials to safely d rain static charges, without increasing an electrocution risk in the event of an accident.

* HDMI Boards require a cable adapter to support single-link DVI signals. ** For a DVI Board to support embedded audio on an HDMI signal, the EDID must be updated. *** Supported analog video signals include RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, and Y/Pb/Pr in and RGBHV out. ^ Signals supported by DXLink Twisted Pair Boards depend on the type of DXLink Twisted Pair TXs and RXs used. ^^ Signals supported by DXLink Fiber Boards depend on the type of DXLink Fiber TXs and RXs used.

NOTE: The DXLink Twisted Pair Boards also support embedded power, NetLinx control, and Ethernet. The DXLink Fiber Boards also support NetLinx control and Ethernet (Duplex units provide this by default; Simplex units require additional setup).

All signals are automatically converted to the destination device’s format, with DXLink Twisted Pair TXs and RXs used for transport of signals with DXLink Twisted Pair Boards and DXLink Fiber TXs and RXs used for transport of signals with DXLink Fiber Boards.

Input and Output Board Connectors

The connectors on the input and output boards are the attachment points for source and destination devices that connect to the system. Viewed from the rear of the enclosure, the input connectors (for attaching sources) are on the left, and the output connectors (for attaching destinations) are on the right, with the exception of the DGX 6400 enclosure which has inputs on top and outputs on bottom.

Enova DGX 100 Series - Overview

Enova DGX Expansion Boards

Expansion boards work in conjunction with HDMI Boards, DVI Boards, DXLink Twisted Pair Boards, DXLink Fiber Boards to route audio with video and/or breakaway the audio (depending on the board). Enova DGX Switchers support three types of expansion boards:

Dante Audio Switching Boards (ASB-DAN) Audio Switching Boards (ASB) Audio Insert/Extract Board (AIE)

If the expansion board slots in an enclosure are empty, the slots can be used for expansion boards to expand the functionality of the system.

The procedure for installing/replacing Audio Switching Boards is the same as for the standard input/output boards. The procedure for the Audio Insert/Extract Board (which needs to be set for insertion or extraction) starts on page 178.

NOTE: Enova DGX expansion boards do not work in standard input or output board slots. Likewise, standard input or output boards do not work in expansion board slots.

Important Notes on Using Expansion Boards

ASB-DAN, ASB, and AIE boards are not compatible with one another and cannot be used in the same system. ASB and AIE boards use terminal block connectors to bring auxiliary audio into the system and/or out of the

system.

ASB-DAN/ASB and AIE numbering overlays are provided, which can be applied to the I/O board numbering plate

(see the relevant board chapter), which is across the top or down the center (depending on the enclosure).

Integrated NetLinx NX Master Functionality

The integrated NetLinx NX Master in Enova DGX enclosures is a NetLinx NX Controller.

Network Connection

The default IP address for the ICS LAN network is 198.18.0.1 with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. The LAN 100/1000 (public network) and ICS LAN (private network) subnets must not overlap. If the LAN 100/1000 port is

configured such that its address space overlaps with the ICS LAN network, the ICS LAN network will be disabled. The DGX communicates with the 5002 device (and any endpoint in Auto-setup) via ICS LAN. Since those devices have

fixed static IP addresses on the ICS LAN network, you cannot change the 198.18 subnet information on the DGX platform of processors. You can only change the Host name and DHCP server settings.

Additionally, if connecting the Enova DGXs LAN 100/1000 port to an NX-x200 NX Integrated Controller's ICS LAN port, you MUST change the NX Master's ICS LAN port settings (via the SET ICSLAN telnet command) to choose a different subnet than the default 198.18.x.x or else the Enova DGXs 5002 switcher device (and any endpoint in Auto-setup) will not come online.

DHCP Server

The ICS LAN port has a built-in DHCP server. This DHCP server is enabled by default and will serve IP addresses to any connected devices set to DHCP mode. The DHCP server can be disabled from a Telnet session with the integrated NetLinx NX Master with the command: SET ICSLAN. The DHCP address range is fixed.

The server will provide addresses in the range 198.18.0.2 through 198.18.63.254. Devices using static IP addresses on the ICS LAN network should be set within the reserved static IP address range

of 198.18.64.1 through 198.18.127.254.

Do not use addresses in the range 198.18.128.1 through 198.18.129.254, as they are reserved for future upgrades. The server supports TX and RX (endpoint) Auto-setup with addresses in the range 198.18.130.1 through

198.18.135.254.

IMPORTANT: The ICS LAN port on the left of the CPU is for communication via Telnet of endpoint devices connected to the integrated Master in Auto-setup Mode. The ICS LAN allows the DGX to provide Private IP addresses to all connected endpoints while only consuming a single IP address on the Public LAN. However, that the ICS LAN port serves DHCP addresses to any connected device. If the ICS LAN is inadvertently connected to the Public LAN, devices also on the Public LAN may experience DHCP address conflicts.

Opening Public LAN and ICS LAN Sockets from Code

The integrated NetLinx NX Master opens sockets from NetLinx or Java code on whichever network has an IP subnet that matches the address provided in the command to open the socket. No other indications are provided for which network is in use, only whether the socket is successfully created.

Integrated NetLinx NX Master Features

The integrated NetLinx NX Master supports the following features:

Automatic configuration of AMX devices via ICS LAN (private network) Link-local fallback in DHCP mode (IPv4 only) Wired 802.1x (security for protected networks) IPv6 network addressing ID Pushbutton Case sensitive file system Differences in DEFINE_PROGRAM execution USB Program port driver for Windows 7 and Windows 8 Telnet Commands for the Enova DGX 100 Series NetLinx NX Master

Automatic Configuration of AMX Devices via ICS LAN

When an ICS LAN capable endpoint device (e.g., a DXLink Twisted Pair Transmitter connected to a DXLink Twisted Pair Input Board) is initially connected, the integrated Master sends ICS LAN messages to the device and conducts automatic configuration (auto-setup), after which the device reboots.

If the Master is set to serve DHCP addresses and the device is set to DHCP addressing mode, a stable connection is assured. Since these are the factory default settings for the devices, automatic configuration is the expected behavior for all new equipment.

Even after being automatically configured for a Master in this manner, if the device is disconnected and reconnected to a different Master, its old configuration will be forgotten and it will establish a new configuration with the new Master to which it has been connected. Once connected, the device can also be configured for a different connection mode if desired.

Enova DGX 100 Series - Overview

Enova Digital Media Switchers - Hardware Reference Manual

Device auto-setup status is discoverable via NetLinx Studio such that Auto-setup device IP addresses reside in the

198.18.x.x space where the first "x" represents either 130 (input side) or 134 (output side) and the second "x" represents an individual port number.

Transmitter endpoints: 198.18.30.x (where x is the input channel) Receiver endpoints: 198.18.134.x (where x is the output channel)

Device numbering in NetLinx Studio places auto-setup devices on the input side in the range 45001 to 45999 and devices on the output side in the range 46001 to 46999.

Link-local Fallback in DHCP Mode (IPv4 Only)

When the integrated Master’s public LAN IP addressing mode is set to DHCP, it will attempt to acquire an IPv4 address from a DHCP server for approximately one minute after boot. If the Master does not receive a valid DHCP address in that time (e.g. if a DHCP server is not found), it will fall back to an IPv4 address in the link-local range.

NOTE: Link-local is not an operational mode for the Master; it is a temporary addressing scheme to permit access over the network so that IP settings can be modified. Do not commission the Master with a link-local IP address.

The default link-local address is 169.254.x.y, where x and y are the least significant two octets of the MAC address. The Master will first verify that this address is not taken by another device on the network. If the address is taken, the Master uses a standard algorithm to find an available IP address in the link-local range.

When the Master is using a link-local IP address, the status light will blink once per second. If the Master’s network settings remain in DHCP mode, it will attempt to acquire a DHCP address every five minutes until successful. After each failed attempt to acquire a DHCP address, the Master will execute the link-local algorithm and may not fall back to the same link-local IP address.

Wired 802.1x Support

The integrated NetLinx NX Master supports 802.1X, an IEEE Standard for Port-based Network Access Control (PNAC). The Master acts as a supplicant (client device) to an 802.1X enabled network and presents customer-provided X.509 certificates to be allowed access to protected networks.

Support for IPv6 Network Addressing

The integrated NetLinx NX Master fully supports IPv6 network addressing. If the LAN 100/1000 port is connected to an IPv6 capable network, it will self-select an appropriate IPv6 address based on the discovered address settings of the network to which it is attached.

The Master simultaneously supports IPv4 network addressing. This means any Master may have more than one valid IP address: one IPv4 and one or more IPv6 addresses. When opening sockets from NetLinx or Java code, no unique command is available to indicate that you are providing an IPv4 or IPv6 network address. As long as the provided IP address is a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address, the Master will utilize the correct addressing protocol automatically.

ID Pushbutton

The ID Pushbutton functions performed depend on when and for how long the ID Pushbutton is pressed and held. The integrated Master includes ID Pushbutton functionality for selecting a static or DHCP address, performing a factory default reset, and restoring the factory firmware image (for instructions, see page 44).

Case Sensitive File System

All file names on the integrated Master are case sensitive. This includes all user files created or used within NetLinx or Java code. If your legacy code generates an error when accessing a file, it is likely due to inconsistent use of case in the filename.

IMPORTANT: If you have legacy code that uses files, verify that every reference to each file is consistent with regard to case.

USB Program Port Driver

The integrated NetLinx NX Master is configurable for communication with a PC over the switcher’s USB Program port. On Enova DGX 100 Series Switchers, the USB Program port includes pre-loaded drivers for use with a PC running either Windows 7 or Windows 8.

The integrated NetLinx NX Master utilizes a USB (mini-AB) Program port for configuration and programming via a connected PC. The required USB driver installs automatically with NetLinx Studio v4.0 or later.

Because a PC COM port can only be used for a single process at a time, having a terminal window open using the COM port assigned to that USB connection will prevent any other communication to the Master over that same USB connection, including refreshing the OnLine Tree and transferring files. We recommend using the front control panel to discover the IP address of the Master, modifying the IP address via the USB Program port if necessary, and then connecting over Ethernet to the new IP address. For additional information, see page 58.

Differences in DEFINE_PROGRAM Execution

Due to differences in the underlying architecture of the integrated Master, changing variables in the DEFINE_PROGRAM section of code can negatively impact program performance.

If you have legacy NetLinx code that does change a variable in this section, timing differences very likely will cause your code to run slower and appear less responsive on the Master.

Configuration Information and Control Options

Switching Configuration Information

The configuration file stored on the CPU contains routing and control information for the AMX Enova Routing System.

NOTE: The configuration file is automatically generated by the system based on its hardware – input and output boards, expansion boards, front control panel, CPU, etc. If boards are added during runtime, they are immediately added to the system’s configuration.

From the factory, the configuration normally contains three virtual matrices (VMs) for switching signals:

VM 0 = default (System Configuration interface - controlled via Switch Mode: A/V) VM 1 = video signals (System Configuration interface - controlled via Switch Mode: Video) VM 2 = audio signals (System Configuration interface - controlled via Switch Mode: Audio)

Embedded Audio Signals

Embedded audio signals switch with the video channels.

Through the use of Audio Switching Boards or Dante Audio Switching Boards and the System Configuration

interface or ICSP commands, switched audio can be digitally processed (e.g., gain, volume, balance) and switched onto another digital signal, becoming embedded audio on that signal. For more information about Digital Signal Processing (DSP) options, see page 150 for Dante Audio Switching Boards or see page 164 for Audio Switching Boards,

Through the use of the Audio Insert/Extract Board, embedded audio can be extracted and external audio matrix

switches can be executed (using a separately purchased audio matrix switcher like the Precis DSP) and then reinserted post-switch on the output side. For more information, see the AIE Board chapter on page 175.

Enova DGX 100 Series - Overview

Enova Digital Media Switchers - Hardware Reference Manual

Available Levels (Virtual Matrices)

Enova DGX 100 Series systems support three levels for BCS control purposes (below). NetLinx code and ICSP Commands require the use of the values: ALL, VIDEO, and AUDIO for the corresponding switch levels.

L0 (All) – comprises all available crosspoints for digital video with embedded audio (the standard matrix) L1 (Video) – comprises all available crosspoints for digital video with embedded audio (the standard matrix) L2 (Audio) – comprises the embedded audio on the standard matrix, plus auxiliary audio from the Audio Switching

Boards

NOTE: The standard matrix corresponds to the basic switcher size: 8x8, 16x16, 32x32, or 64x64.

Audio Switching Boards

When Audio Switching Boards (ASB or ASB-DAN) are in the system, the Enova DGX 100 Series supports audio breakaway on VM 2 (via the Audio Switch Mode on the System Configuration interface). The system can route the embedded audio from any digital video input to any digital video output. Additionally, audio can be routed via the ASB connectors on VM 2 to/from any of digital video inputs/outputs (the default is for the ASB audio to take precedence), as well as from Audio Switching Board to Audio Switching Board.

NOTE: If Audio Switching Boards are not in the system, any commands sent to Audio Switch Mode (VM2) shall be NACKed and no state change will be applied.

Board Configuration Information

The System Configuration Interface can be used for configuring HDMI, DVI, DXLink Twisted Pair, and DXLink Fiber Boards. This interface can be used to set the Scaler mode, the aspect ratio, and custom resolutions as well as re-program the EDID on input boards (see page 184).

IMPORTANT: Because signals routed through HDMI, DVI, DXLink Twisted Pair, DXLink Twisted Pair 4K, and DXLink Fiber Boards in an Enova DGX Switcher normally produce a quality image, you will not

need to use the System Configuration interface

unless the installation has special scaling, EDID, or HDCP requirements.

Control Options

NOTE: For an overview of audio control options and a list of where those options are located within this manual, see the Installation and Setup section on page 44.

Integrated NetLinx NX Central Control Processor

System Configuration interface – This interface is the Enova DGX 100 Series Switchers’ installation setup tool. It is

used during system setup to manage your system’s network, security, and system needs, as well as configure its inputs and outputs while executing switches. Note that some devices run on a secured file-system. As such, filesystem operations (e.g., Load and Save operations) may not be supported by the devices default capabilities and may require downloading a file manager application.

SEND_COMMANDs – The Enova DGX Switcher can be controlled using AMX SEND_COMMANDs. ICSP is the primary

protocol for all system level messaging on integrated NetLinx NX Central Control Processors and is a peer-to-peer protocol used for both Master-to-Master and Master-to-device communications. For details, see page 211.

Control Panel

The Control Panel is standard on all Enova DGX Switchers (see page 67).

AMX Control Devices

The Enova DGX Switcher is compatible with a number of AMX control devices via Native NetLinx communication. For control programming information, see the chapter on ICSP commands on page 204 and the manual for the specific AMX control device.

BCS (Basic Control Structure) Protocol

The Enova DGX Switcher can be controlled with an external serial controller using BCS protocol. For information on BCS commands, see the BCS (Basic Control Structure) Protocol Programming Guide at www.amx.com

Serial control (sends and receives ASCII characters) Use the Control (RS-232 serial) port or use the USB Control port (as a virtual COM port); both are located on the CPU Commands can be entered into a terminal emulation program on a PC

Third-Party Controllers

A third-party controller can be attached to an Enova DGX Switcher via the RS-232 serial port. If using a third-party controller, see the controller documentation for operating instructions.

DGX_SHELL Commands

The Enova DGX 100 Series supports a number of shell (command-line interpreter) commands for a variety of functions, both basic and advanced (see "Appendix C" on page 273).

Enova DGX 100 Series - Overview

Enova Digital Media Switchers - Hardware Reference Manual

InstaGate Pro Technology

InstaGate Pro Technology eliminates latency (time required for authentication) in the switcher for HDCP negotiations with the displays in a system. The latency is typically experienced when HDCP authenticates HDMI source and destination devices every time a new switching combination between a source device and display occurs. With InstaGate Pro Technology, when a source requires HDCP encrypted content, the inputs and compliant downstream devices are automatically authenticated – it just works. key limitations on source devices are also eliminated by allowing them to see only a single sink key from the HDMI Input Board’s input connection.

NOTE: Some destination devices have a longer lag time than others between receiving a signal and displaying that signal. Although InstaGate Pro significantly reduces the latency associated with HDCP authentication, it cannot reduce the inherent lag time of a device a s it syncs up to the newly switched video image.

DXLink Fiber Boards

IMPORTANT: No user serviceable parts are included inside Enova DGX Switchers; service should only be done by qualified personnel.

IMPORTANT: If the Enova DGX Switcher contains Enova DGX DXLink Fiber Boards, be sure to read all of the safety information for laser products in this chapter and in the DXLink Fiber Boards chapter.

Safety Recommendations for Laser Products

WARNING: DXLink Fiber units use laser transceivers, which are Class 1 Eye Safe per IEC 60825-1/CDRH requirements. While the Class 1 category indicates that the invisible laser used is safe, always avoid direct eye exposure when using any optical fiber products (see the OSHA directive on page 135).

CAUTION:

hazardous radiation exposure.

Exercise caution when installing Enova DGX DXLink Fiber products to avoid direct eye exposure to invisible laser radiation. Follow the recommendations below whenever installing or working with fiber products.

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in

Be sure to apply the power only after all the fiber connections are made and no fiber ends are exposed. Do not remove dust plugs from fiber connectors or the dust caps from the fiber cables until establishing

connections; avoid direct eye exposure.

Make sure all cables, including fiber cables, are correctly connected and/or terminated. Before you unplug a fiber cable on an input board, disconnect the power on the transmitter that is connected to

the input.

Before you unplug a fiber cable on an output board, disconnect the switch for that output connector.

General Hazard Precautions

IMPORTANT: DXLink twisted pair cable runs for DXLink e quipment shall only be run within a common building. "Common building" is defined as: Where the walls of the structure(s) are physically connected and the structure(s) share a single ground reference.

Elevated Operating Temperature

The maximum rated ambient temperature for the Enova DGX Switcher is 104° F (40° C). All equipment should be installed in an environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient

temperature. In a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient room temperature.

Airflow Restriction

Enova DGX Switchers are designed to adequately dissipate the heat they produce under normal operating conditions; however, this design is defeated if high heat producing equipment is placed directly above or below an enclosure.

Installation and Setup

Enova Digital Media Switchers - Hardware Reference Manual

CAUTION:

The system requires a minimum of one empty rack unit above and below (three empty rack units are recommend ed). Verify that the openings on the top and sides of the enclosure are not blocked and do not

To prevent overheating, avoid placing high heat producing equipment directly above or below the enclosure.

have restricted air flow.

Mechanical (Rack) Loading

When installing equipment in a rack, distribute the weight to avoid uneven mechanical loading. Note that fully loaded, the Enova DGX 800 weighs approximately 35 pounds (15.9 kg), the Enova DGX 1600 weighs approximately 55 pounds (24.95 kg), the Enova DGX 3200 weighs approximately 73 pounds (33.1 kg), and the Enova DGX 6400 weighs approximately 150 pounds (68.0 kg).

Circuit Overloading

When connecting the equipment to the supply circuits, be aware of the effect that overloading the circuits might have on over-current protection and supply wiring.

Reliable Earthing (Grounding)

Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. If not using a direct connection to the branch circuit (e.g., plugging into a power strip), pay particular attention to supply connections.

CAUTION:

After powering up the enclosure, apply power to the source and destination devices.

We strongly recommend attaching all of the power cords to a surge protector and/or an AC line conditioner.

Site Recommendations

Environment

Choose a clean, dust free, (preferably) air-conditioned location. Avoid areas with direct sunlight, heat sources, or high levels of EMI (Electromagnetic Interference).

Chassis Accessibility

Make sure the front and rear panels of the enclosure are accessible, so that you can monitor the Power indicator LED on the front and the other LED indicators on the rear. Leaving adequate clearance at the rear will also allow for easier cabling and service.

Power

Attach all power cords to a surge protector (20 A) and/or an AC line conditioner.

The source’s electrical outlet should be installed near the router, easily accessible, and properly grounded. Power

should come from a building branch circuit. We strongly recommend using a dedicated line for the system’s power. Use a minimum breaker current rating of 20 A for 110 V or 10 A for 230 V.

To avoid an overload, note the power consumption rating of all equipment connected to the circuit breaker

before applying power.

System Setup with Transmitters and Receivers

The following three sections cover system setup options for Enova DGX boards and their compatible TXs and RXs. The following general statements apply to all three sections:

In each section’s table where "Any input board" or "Any output board" is shown, check in the specific board’s

chapter to determine whether or not a transmitter or receiver is required.

The transmitters and receivers mentioned in each section can be used as a standalone pair (end-to-end solution).

For additional information, see the applicable manual for the modules/units.

CAUTION:

System Setup for Using the Integrated NetLinx NX Master

The Enova DGX 100 Series Switcher has an integrated NetLinx NX Central Control Processor (Master) that establishes its public LAN (Local Area Network) connection through the LAN 100/1000 port on the CPU. The Master provides a System Configuration interface that allows you to make various configuration settings via a web browser on any PC connected to the public LAN. The NX Master’s on-board System Configuration interface delivers HTML pages for setting up the system plus dedicated Switching, Configuration, and Status pages which allow for remote control and monitoring of an Enova DGX Switcher using PC-based Internet browsing software.

IMPORTANT: The Enova DGX Switcher uses DHCP to retrieve its IP address by default. The integrated Master’s IP address is available via the control panel at Setup Options/Master Info/IP Address.

The enclosure must be connected to a LAN in order to get an IP address from a DHCP server. After the network assigns a DHCP IP address, a static IP address can be assigned in its place.

IMPORTANT: Although it is also possible to provide access from outside a LAN via the Internet, security issues for your LAN environment must be taken into account (contact your Network Administrator).

System Setup Overview

IMPORTANT: The Enova DGX Switcher uses DHCP by default.

The LAN 100/1000 (Ethernet) port provides functionality for the following protocols: FTP, SSH, Telnet, HTTP, HTTPS/SSL, and ICSP (for protocol descriptions and standard port numbers used, see the table on page 54). This port is connected to a public LAN. By default, the integrated Master will receive an IP address from the LAN it connects with (via DHCP). Once the System Configuration interface has been launched and a test switch has been completed, it will be possible to reconfigure the integrated Master’s LAN 100/1000 port IP setting from DHCP to Static IP (see page 201).

ICS LAN 10/100 Port

The ICS LAN 10/100 port on the left-hand side of the CPU is the access point for communication with devices on the private (ICS LAN) network. The port has a built-in DHCP server which serves IP addresses for the private LAN to endpoint devices.

LAN 100/1000 Port

The LAN 100/1000 (Ethernet) port, which provides the connection from the integrated NetLinx NX Master to a public LAN, is located on the rear of the enclosure on the right-hand side of the CPU. The port handles Ethernet 10/100/1000 connections for 1000 Mbps (megabits per second), 100 Mbps, and 10 Mbps. This connection is compatible with most Ethernet based LANs.

IMPORTANT: Because the LAN 100/1000 port is the single, shared connection to the public LAN, a Gigabit (1000 Mbps) LAN connection between the network and the Enova DGX Switcher’s LAN 100/1000 port is strongly recommended. Lower speed connections may result in inferior performance of the embedded Ethernet network.

Audio Control and Signal Processing Options

Audio Switching Boards (ASB)

The audio signal on Audio Switching Boards can be switched independently of the video or as embedded audio. These boards also allow for digital signal processing (e.g., volume, equalizer, input gain) on every input and every output in the enclosure. When using Audio Switching Boards, the Enova DGX 6400 requires two each of the input and output boards for functionality. Both boards are provided as part of the compatible DGX6400-ASB Audio Switching Board Kit for the Enova DGX 6400.

NOTE: The Audio Insert/Extract Board has no control options aside from the configuration of DIP switches. All switching of audio is executed in conjunction with the switches executed on the corresponding input and output connectors (for additional information, see the Audio Insert/Extract Board chapter on page 175).

Establishing Serial Communication with a PC via the Program Port

Program Port

The Enova DGX Switcher’s integrated NetLinx NX Master is equipped with a low-speed USB connection labeled "Program." Use the provided USB mini-AB adapter cable (CA1090-541) to establish a connection between the Program port on the enclosure and the PC’s USB port.

This connection provides serial-based communication between the integrated Master and NetLinx Studio. This port is useful for getting and setting the system’s IP address (in NetLinx Studio, open Tools/Telnet Session and enter either GET IP <D:P:S> or SET IP <D:P:S>, where D:P:S is Device:Port:System).

IMPORTANT: The Program port is not recommended for firmware updates or large file transfers. These more data-intensive operations are better handled via the LAN 100/1000 port connection.

Cable Requirements

A green AxLink LED indicates AxLink data activity. "Off" indicates either no power or the Master is not functioning properly. When the AxLink port is operating normally, LED blink patterns include:

1 blink per second – Normal operation. 3 blinks per second – AxLink bus error. Check all AxLink bus connections.

Using the AxLink Connector for Data and Power

To supply data and power to an AxLink compatible device, wire the AxLink connector as shown in FIG. 28:

FIG. 28 AxLink connector wiring diagram (direct data and power)

AxLink Device Numbering

For NetLinx programming purposes, each AxLink device must be assigned a unique number to locate that device on the bus. The range for AxLink device numbers is 1-255. AMX best practices requires assigning device numbers in three groups:

Axcess Control Cards: 1 - 95 Axcess Bus Boxes: 96 - 127 Axcess Panels/Receivers: 128 - 255

NOTE: If you are familiar with binary, start at Step 3 and set the device’s DIP switch toggles accordingly (zero = all up; 255 = all down).

Setting an AxLink Device Address

1. Open NetLinx Studio and select Tools>DIP Switch. The DIP Switch 2.0 applet appears.

2. Enter the AxLink device number in the Device Number text box and note toggle positions. Close the applet.

3. On the bottom/side of the AxLink device, set the device’s DIP switch toggles to an appropriate device number

according to AMX best practices (see established ranges above).

4. Connect AxLink cables from the AxLink device to the AxLink port on the Enova DGX CPU.

5. In NetLinx Studio, select the OnLine Tree tab and refresh the OnLine Tree with the Enova DGX displayed. The AxLink

device appears as a device in the OnLine Tree.

AxLink Power Measurement and Control

The AxLink port on the CPU supports a SEND_COMMAND to turn on and off +12V power output on the port.

AXPWRON LOWER – turns on power output on port AXPWROFF LOWER – turns off power output on port

These messages are always sent to port 1 of the 5001 control device (D:P:S = 5001:1:0) and return status comes from the same port.

AxLink Port Diagnostics

The fault state can be queried using the SEND_COMMAND: GET AX FAULT (D:P:S = 5001:1:0).

The reply to normal operating status is: AX FAULT: NONE The reply to a problem in operating status is: AX FAULT: BUS

Removing the problem should restore the fault state to NONE without intervention.

NOTE: Shorting the bus power does not cause a fault that GET AX FAULT can detect.

Using the ID Pushbutton

The ID Pushbutton for the integrated Master is located on the rear of the enclosure on the CPU board to the left of the AxLink Port (FIG. 29):

FIG. 29

The ID Pushbutton can be used to perform three types of initial configuration settings:

NOTE: ID Pushbutton functions can also be implemented using Telnet commands (see the "WebConsole & Programming Guide – NetLinx NX Central Controllers" at www.amx.com

ID Pushbutton

Toggle between DHCP (default) and static IP addressing (see below). Reset the switcher to its factory default settings, which affects the settings but not the firmware version (page 60). Restore the switcher to its factory firmware image, which affects both the firmware version and the settings

(page 61).

Toggling Be tween DHCP and Static IP Addressing

1. Verify that the Master is not currently booting.

2. Press and hold the ID Pushbutton for 10 seconds or longer.

Applying Power and Startup

Overview

The enclosure’s universal power receptacles will accept all major international standard power sources. Two US power cords are included with all enclosures shipped within the US. Maximum power specifications are on each power receptacle (and are also listed on page 20). Always use earth-grounded power cords and equipment with an Enova DGX Switcher.

The source electrical outlet(s) should be installed near the enclosure, easily accessible, and properly grounded. Power should come from a building branch circuit. We strongly recommend using a dedicated line for the system’s power. Use a minimum breaker current rating of 20 A for 110 V or 10 A for 230 V for each circuit. To avoid an overload, note the power consumption rating of all the equipment connected to the circuit breaker before applying power.

Power Budget Planning for Systems with DXLink Twisted Pair Boards

If an Enova DGX 3200 system contains DXLink Twisted Pair Boards, be sure to read the section on "Power Budget Planning" in board chapter. The power draw for the system should be calculated in order to maintain the power redundancy of the power supplies in the enclosure. Calculating the power draw also helps determine how many DXLink Transmitters and Receivers can be powered via the switcher.

Complete Power Redundancy Setup

IMPORTANT: For proper redundant operations, all power supplies must be powered at all times.

Enova DGX 800/1600/3200 – To take full advantage of the multiple power feeds and redundant power supplies, cable the primary power feed to an outlet connected to one circuit breaker. The redundant power feed should be cabled to an outlet connected to a second circuit breaker (FIG. 31).

Enova DGX 6400 – To provide adequate power for an N+1 redundant application, connect each of the power supplies to its own circuit.

Applying Power and Startup

FIG. 31

CAUTION:

Power setup for complete redundancy on Enova DGX 3200

Attach all power cords to a surge protector and/or an AC line conditioner.

Power-Up Sequence

NOTE: Enova DGX 6400 only - Four AC power filtering Ferrites (one per cord) are provided to ensure the system meets or exceeds the radiated emission requirements defined in standards EN55022:2010, FCC 15.109(g):2014, and ICES-003:2012. To install these filters, clamp in place onto the power cords as close to the power supply as reasonably possible for the system.

IMPORTANT: Enova DGX 6400 only – If two or more power supplies are not receiving power, shut down power to all power supplies then restart the system with all power supplies connected.

The following instructions start with attaching only two source and destination devices for the purpose of executing a test switch (after the factory default switch is disconnected).

Executing Switches

A switch is an active connection between an input (source) device and one or more output (destination) devices. The signals routed in a switching operation are individual signals or groups of individual signals coming through the connectors on the rear of an enclosure. You can execute switches from the Control Panel using the steps below or by defining and executing a global preset (see page 72).

The LCD displays the VM (default VM 0) in the upper-right corner; this is the virtual matrix that operations are currently being executed on. Switches are executed on the default virtual matrix unless otherwise specified. When specifying a virtual matrix, be sure it includes the signal(s) you want to route.

Virtual matrix definitions reside in the configuration information in an enclosure’s CPU. If you need to change the virtual matrix that switches are being executed on, see "Changing the Virtual Matrix" on page 71. If you decide to change the default virtual matrix, see page 76 for "Setup Options."

In an execute switch command either an input or an output may be selected first. To switch to multiple outputs, the Input key must long as the keys are not flashing. Once satisfied with the switch selections, press the Take key to execute it. (Or, if not satisfied with the selections, press the Cancel key and start over.)

For new installations, we recommend executing a test switch to verify the system is working correctly before attaching all inputs and outputs. To execute a test switch, attach the first input (source) and first output (destination) and then complete the directions below. For more information on test switches, see page 70.

Executing a Test Switch

The directions below switch Input 1 to Output 2 on VM 0.

NOTE: Before executing the test switch below, use the directions on page 71 to disconnect the factory default switch (i.e.,

disconnect Input 1 which is connected to all outputs on Virtual Matrix 1 when it leaves the factory).

3. Press Input key 1. Input key 1 flashes indicating that it is ready to switch (any outputs currently connected to a

selected input will turn white).

4. Press Output key 2. Output key 2 illuminates indicating that it is ready to accept the switch.

5. Press the Take key. Input 1 switches to Output 2, and the keys turn blue. The panel remains in Change Mode until the

Function key is pressed.

6. Press Input key 1 again to toggle it off, and Press the Take key to disconnect the test switch.

Controlling Switches on Systems with Audio Switching Boards

IMPORTANT:

analog audio signal from the Audio Switching Board must first replace the embedded audio on the HDMI signal via a SEND_COMMAND (see page 225). Only then can the audio signal from the Audio Switching Board be switched with the video or routed independently from the video as a breakaway.

Control of video and audio switching on systems with Audio Switching Boards (ASB or ASB-DAN) works as follows:

To switch digital video with its embedded audio, use either VM 0 (All) or VM 1 (Video). To switch the embedded audio separately from the digital video (as a breakaway audio signal), use VM 2. When

The embedded audio can also be analog audio from the Audio Switching Boards which has been used to replace the embedded audio via a SEND_COMMAND (see page 225).

The control panel does not have direct control of the audio signal on the Audio Switching Boards (ASB or ASB-DAN). The

switching on VM 0 or VM 1, the embedded audio is still present.

Complete audio switching functionality is available via the System Configuration interface (see page 184) or via SEND_COMMANDs (see page 225).

Changing the Virtual Matrix

Enova DGX Switchers support three virtual matrices for switching signals:

VM 0 Default (Audio follow Video) VM 1 Video Breakaway VM 2 Audio Breakaway

VM 0 is the factory default; we do not recommend changing the established VM numbers. If you create a custom configuration, you will need to change the virtual matrix on the Control Panel to execute switches (or other operations) using the custom virtual matrix.

IMPORTANT:

The directions below give steps to change from routing signals on VM 0 (Default) to routing on VM 1 (Video).

Changing the Virtual Matrix

1. Press the Function key. The Function menu appears.

2. Locate Virtual Matrix by scrolling with the Control Dial.

3. Press the Select key. The V.Matrix list appears.

When audio is embedded on HDMI, the audio switches on the same VM as the video (VM 0 or VM 1). If the system

4. Scroll with the Control Dial to 1:Video.

5. Press the Select key to enter your selection. The display returns to the top of the V.Matrix sub-menu. VM 1 becomes

the new virtual matrix used for all operations.

6. Press the Function key to return to the Function menu. The system is ready to execute operations on VM 1. The system will remain on VM 1 for all operations until the virtual matrix

is changed or the power is cycled (at which time the Control Panel will switch on the default virtual matrix).

NOTE: To change the default virtual matrix, see the instructions on page 71.

Disconnecting Switches

Disconnecting a switch deactivates the connection between an input (source) and one or more output (destination) devices. Disconnecting an input will disconnect all outputs currently receiving the input's signal. An output can only be connected to one input; therefore, disconnecting an output will only disconnect the connection between the output and the input that is routed to it. Inputs and outputs can be selected in the same disconnect command.

Disconnect inputs or outputs from the Control Panel using the steps below. If you need to change the virtual matrix, see "Changing the Virtual Matrix" on page 71.

NOTE: When you put the panel in Disconnect Mode, the available keys will be illuminated in blue and any unavailable

ones will not (white) and deselected (blue) state before pressing the Take key.

Once the Control Panel is in Disconnect Mode, inputs and outputs can be selected and deselected by pressing the corresponding Input and Output keys. The disconnect command is not executed until the Take key is pressed. Pressing the Cancel key clears an incomplete disconnect command and returns the display to the beginning of the sub-menu.

While in Disconnect Mode, the Control Panel will not show current routing for the inputs and outputs that are selected.

CAUTION: Disconnecting an input disconnects all outputs receiving that source signal even if a specific output(s) is selected at the same time.

The following example disconnects Inputs 1 and 3 and all outputs connected to them as well as Output 9.

Press the Function key to return to the Function menu.

Verifying Signal Status

The status of inputs or outputs can be checked using the Enova DGX Control Panel. Signal status can be verified to confirm that a switch has executed properly or to confirm correct routing to multiple outputs (destinations). Verifying an input will illuminate all outputs currently receiving the input’s signal. An output can only be connected to one input (source); therefore, verifying the status of an output will illuminate only the one input that is currently routed to it.

Once the Control Panel is in Status Mode, inputs and outputs can be selected by pressing the corresponding Input and Output keys without changing the routing state. The panel stays in Status Mode until the Function key is pressed.

To verify signal status on a different virtual matrix, see "Changing the Virtual Matrix" on page 71.

Press the Output key that corresponds to the output you want to check. The selected Output key turns white, and if an Input key routed to it, that key also turns white.

5. Select another signal to verify.

- or -

Press the Function key to return to the Function menu.

Defining and Executing Global Presets

Global presets are predefined sets of switches that can easily be executed at one time. Each global preset is a snapshot of the system’s routing state and output volume settings at a particular time which can be recalled at a later time. The system must be routed to the desired state before defining a global preset.

Global presets can be defined or recalled using either the Control Panel or BCS commands interchangeably. The Control Panel on the Enova DGX Switcher supports up to 64 global presets. Because all 64 potential global preset

numbers are displayed in the Global Preset sub-menu, be aware that nothing indicates which of the numbers have been assigned a routing state. A system state can be restored at any time by selecting the assigned global preset number.

Depending on whether or not the system includes Audio Switching Boards, global presets operate in one of two ways in Enova DGX 100 Series Switchers:

Control Panel

Enova Digital Media Switchers - Hardware Reference Manual

Systems without Audio Switching Boards (ASB or ASB-DAN)

A global preset number can be assigned to a routing state during runtime and stored by the system, allowing you to replicate an entire system’s routing state.

NOTE: The global preset will not affect the injection/extraction setting on any channel of any AIE Board.

Systems with Audio Switching Boards (ASB or ASB-DAN)

A global preset number can be assigned to a routing state during runtime and stored by the system, allowing you to replicate a subset of the system state. The system routing state includes all signal routings and audio settings for Mute/ Unmute and Output Volume; however, it excludes any down-mix switching routes. Global presets cannot capture Digital Signal Processing settings.

NOTE: If a backup of a given entire system state is required when Audio Switching Boards are in the system (including

Digital Signal Processing settings), the System Configuration interface’s Switcher-Setup-Save function can save all of the system’s configuration values in a file that can be loaded back to the Switcher when needed (see page133).

CAUTION: Keep track of the number and the system state routing used for each global preset. If a previously used number is assigned to another system state (using either the Control Panel or BCS commands), the former state will be automatically overwritten.

The instructions below define an example Global Preset 3, and the instructions at the bottom of the page are used to execute a predefined Global Preset 3.

IMPORTANT:

Wait approximately ten seconds for the system to store the global preset setting before executing another operation.

Adjusting Input Gain

The purpose of "Input Gain Control" is to allow input (source) signals of varying amplitudes to be equalized before they are routed and the volume is adjusted. Equalizing input signals provides a consistent reference for volume adjustments and eliminates jumps when routing between different inputs.

Typical uses for input gain (the nominal level of the signal from the source device) include switching consumer and professional grade audio equipment (whose levels can vary noticeably) in the same matrix switcher. Input gain adjustment is also used for equalizing amplitudes between balanced and unbalanced source inputs.

The Adjust Input Gain Screen displays the current gain setting and the range available for the specific audio input signal that has been selected for adjustment. For more information on audio signals and specifications, see the "Audio Switching Boards" chapter on page 164.

CAUTION: We strongly recommend that input gain adjustments be made only by a qualified dealer or installer.

The following steps tell how to adjust input gain as part of the process of equalizing input levels.

1. Route the source (input) to be adjusted to the destination (output); see page 70.

NOTE: Audio adjustments can be made without routing the switc h.

System Error Codes and Troubleshooting

This section provides an overview of the most common error codes that may appear on an Enova DGX Control Panel. The table below lists the error code, the name of the code, the meaning of the code, and some basic troubleshooting strategies (additional error code troubleshooting strategies are included on page 80).

The codes in the table are not intended to be comprehensive.

NOTE: If an error code appears that is not listed, note the specific number and contact technical support.

The first letter of the error code indicates the following:

E = Error W = Warning A = Alarm* (requires immediate attention) I = Information*

Control Panel

Enova Digital Media Switchers - Hardware Reference Manual

For the following instructions, establish serial control and open a terminal emulation program, e.g., the terminal in NetLinx Studio (Tools/Terminal Session).

Enabling Error Code Reporting

1. Enter $ERR=1!

2. The system responds with a V.

NOTE: If the power is cycled after this procedure, you will need to enable error code reporting again.

timeout error

The operation was not completed before the timer expired.

• Resend the command.

• Check the power indicators.

• Check that the command was sent using the correct virtual matrix.

Error Code Troubleshooting

Error codes can appear either on the Control Panel LCD or in a terminal emulation program, e.g., the terminal in NetLinx Studio (Tools/Terminal Session).

When you are using a Control Panel, one of the most common troubleshooting strategies is to resend the command to see if the error was simply a timeout error.

When you are using BCS commands, one common troubleshooting strategy is to enter the command again. Often the command has just been entered incorrectly (e.g., omitting an output in a Change command). In other cases, the command has specified a value that is not valid (e.g., a global preset number that does not correspond to a defined global preset).

If the error code persists after correcting and resending the command, contact technical support.

This chapter pertains to Enova DGX 4K60 HDMI Input and Output Boards:

4k60 HDMI Input Board (FG1061-542) 4k60 HDMI Output Board (FG1061-552)

4K60 HDMI Input & Output Boards

input and sixteen output boards, accommodating connector configurations up to a maximum of 64x64, as well as subsets in increments of four (e.g., 12x48 or 52x8).

Signal Routing

DGX 4K60 HDMI Input Boards route signals to DGX 4K60 HDMI Output Boards or to any other type of Enova DGX Output Boards. 4K60 HDMI Output Boards can also accept signals from all of the other types of Enova DGX Boards.

IMPORTANT: In contrast to other Enova DGX output points, DGX 4K60 HDMI Boards DO NOT utilize SmartScale technology. Therefore, the use of DGX 4K60 HDMI Output Boards requires the use of 3rd party equipment with matching video capabilities. Refer to 3rd Party Equipment Requirements for DGX 4K60 HDMI Boards on page 82 for details.

The HDMI connectors are designed to route high-resolution HDMI or DVI signals with or without HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection). DVI signals must be single link DVI-D and require the use of a cable adapter. Destinations with DVI-I or single-link DVI-D connectors are supported.

DGX Board Compatibility

DGX 4K60 HDMI Input Boards work in conjunction with Audio Switching Boards (see page 164), Dante Audio Switching Boards (see page 150), or AIE Boards (see page 175).

NOTE: AIE compatibility with DGX 4K60 HDMI Boards is limited to a single direction on each type of card (i.e, input cards only support extraction to AIE; Output cards only support insertion from AIE).

Signals through 4K60 HDMI Boards in the DGX Switcher produce a quality image and provide support for the most flexible audio settings (because the HDMI ports are pre-loaded with the most common EDID settings). However, changes to EDID or scaling settings can be made via the System Configuration interface (see page 184).

4K60 HDMI Input & Output Boards

Enova Digital Media Switchers - Hardware Reference Manual

4K60 Signal Routing

DGX 4K60 HDMI Input Boards route video from a source device through the Enova DGX to an output board (or via a DXLink Output Board to a DXLink Receiver). However, 4K60, 4K30, and 2K signals require substantially different hardware support.

For this reason a system Pre-Qualification feature has been added to the Enova DGX to allow signal routing to any output that is capable of Supporting the current video signal. Video signal path capabilities are based on the lowest common denominator of the signal path's components: In order to receive video at the destination device, the entire signal path (source device, input board, output board, receiver module, and destination device) must support the current video formats.

If 4K60 signals are passed to output boards or Receiver Modules that are not 4K60 capable, no signals will be shown on the destination device. To resolve compatibility issues, change the format from the source device or route the 4K60 formatted signal to a 4K60 capable output board. Refer to the Video Signal Support Tiers section below for a complete description.

NOTE: PreQual is a signal Pre-Qualification feature that enforces signal path limitations and provides system-level indications via ICSP and the System Configuration Interface when a signal is blocked to an output port due to an incompatible source format."

NOTE: 4K60 HDMI Boards requires at minimum a High Speed Category 2 cable, but we recommend "Certified Premium High Speed" HDMI cable for any 4K50/4K60 content.

Video Signal Tiers Support

DGX 4K60 HDMI Boards handle the following three tiers of video signal components:

1. 2k – video formats up to HDMI 1.3a

2. 4k30 – 4k video formats that can be passed with HDMI 1.4 (up to HDCP 1.4 and HDCP 2.2 non-Premium)

3. 4k60 – 4k video formats that require HDMI 2.0 (up to HDCP 1.4 and HDCP 2.2 Premium or non-Premium)

NOTE: For ease of initial installation the default EDID on the input cards is set to 4k30. This EDID will support 4K60 4:2:0 formats. If all of the 4K hardware in all of the desired paths support 4k60 4:4:4 or 4k60 4:2:2 formats, then you may want to change the EDID on the appropriate input channel(s) to a 4K60 EDID. See the System Configuration Interface section on page 184 for more information.

3rd Party Equipment Requirements for DGX 4K60 HDMI Boards

In contrast to other Enova DGX output points, DGX 4K60 HDMI Output Boards DO NOT utilize SmartScale

technology. Therefore, the use of DGX 4K60 HDMI Output Boards requires the use of 3rd party equipment with matching video capabilities. Additionally, the installer must configure DGX 4K60 HDMI Boards to use the appropriate EDID and/or timing for target devices via the VIDIN_PREF_EDID (see page 216).

DGX 4K60 HDMI Boards do not provide free-run video. Therefore, when a signal path is disconnected, DGX 4K60

HDMI Boards will lose the signal at the output point. In some cases (as with some projectors), this could cause some sinks to shutdown (which can take a long time for a projector).

Attaching HDMI Connectors

The HDMI connector has a center screw for locking capability. Refer to the specifications tables (page 83, page 84) for detailed cable requirements. Use a "Premium High Speed Certified" HDMI cable for any 4K50/4K60 format.

Executing a Test Switch for an HDMI Board

We recommend becoming familiar with how HDMI switching works in an Enova DGX Switcher by reading the rest of this chapter before executing a test switch. We also recommend executing a test switch to verify the system is working correctly and then disconnecting the test switch before finishing the installation. For information on executing test switches, see page 188.

HDCP Support on Enova DGX 4K60 Switchers

The Enova DGX 4K60 HDMI Boards provide true matrix switching for complete distribution any combination of computer images and protected content. Enova DGX HDMI Boards support both HDCP 1.x encryption and HDCP 2.2 encryption and thus are able to support both previous and current generations of encrypted content seamlessly multiplexed with non-protected content. The system components work together to prevent the unauthorized transfer of protected audiovisual content to non-HDCP devices, revoked devices, as well as restrict HDCP 2.2 Premium Content to only be delivered to HDCP 2.2 authorized devices. Encrypted content is able to flow seamlessly from any input to any output as long as all devices support the minimum required capabilities for the current content.

The 4K60 system supports both HDCP 1.x and 2.2 simple receivers and/or repeaters connected to the output side as required by the HDCP 2.2 standard. Downstream Enova DGX enclosures connected (trunked) with 4K60 Boards in a Multistage system behave as HDCP 2.2 repeaters and can be connected in systems with up to three stages without special control code programming so long as each stage includes at most 1 cage with 4k60 trunked connections, i.e. the 4k60 output channel of one stage is connected to a 4k60 input channel of another stage. In this setup there is only one HDCP repeater at each stage.

A more complicated multi-stage setup might include multiple repeaters (cages with 4K60 input cards or any other repeaters). In this case, the upstream 4K60 Output Boards have to apply the HDCP 2.2 repeater topology limitations summed across all outputs on that stage. Any of these complicated multi-stage design will need to create control code that tracks HDCP 2.2 repeater topology limitations to prevent switching that results in switches across multiple repeaters at any given stage in a combined set that exceeds the HDCP 2.2 specification repeater topology limitations, an event that will cause the HDCP 2.2 compliant source device to block the signal at the source.

The 4K60 boards are different from previous Enova HDCP 1.x supporting boards (including DGX DVI, HDMI, DXLink Twisted Pair, and DXLink Fiber 4K30 and 2K Boards) in two areas:

1. With 4K60 HDCP 2.2 content, the revocation responsibility is retained with the source device as required by the standard so systems without 4K30 or 2K IO cards are no longer required to update the system SRM on a periodic basis,

2. Authentication failures are communicated only via the System Configuration Interface HDCP Lock symbol or asynchronous ICSP messages. The dark red "Auth Failure" screen is no longer produced. 4K60 Output Boards blank all video to black when a receiver device fails to authenticate.

Large systems should be designed to account for limitations that may exist in HDCP 2.2 devices. For example:

Not all sources support the maximum number of standard supported downstream devices. 4K60 HDMI Boards

support the HDCP 2.2 standard's maximum device list of 32. However some sources will be unable to complete authentication when presented with a full list. Avoid system routing that exceeds a source's capabilities or the source, typically, will repeatedly cycle through attempting to authenticate while dropping video on each cycle.

Some legacy sources, satellite receivers for example, support only a single downstream device. To support this type of source, use an HDCP 1.x-only supporting input board to connect the source to the system.

See the Loading and Saving EDIDs section on page 200 for details.

Not all sources eliminate the disruption of video when a downstream device is added or removed to the current

path of a source device. While the HDCP 2.2 standard recommends the non-disruption of video content when updating the active device list, it is not a requirement. 4K60 HDMI Boards implement the HDCP 2.2 recommended behavior but this does not prevent a source from disrupting video. Typical interruptions are brief, but promulgate to all routed output devices.

Some HDCP 2.2 source devices deliver all content as HDCP 2.2 Premium Content. With these sources, content

routed to all HDCP 1.x supporting boards will be blocked.

Many HDCP 2.2 supporting sinks will also support HDCP 1.x. Connecting these devices a HDCP 1.x supporting

boards will result in them never being delivered HDCP 2.2 Premium Content. HDCP 2.2 displays should always be connected to the system with 4K60 HDMI Output cards.

NOTE: Enova DGX 4K60 Boards do not support CEC. NOTE: HDCP 2.1 source devices are not supported.

Video Troubleshooting

NOTE: Use a "Premium High Speed Certified" HDMI cable for any 4K50/4K60 format.

Video Troubleshooting

Problem Solution

No Video: incompatible format

If the system has determined that the full path is UNSUPPORTED for the active video format and the downstream AMX equipment, it is often reported via the sink OSD as "Incompatible Format".t

The System Configuration Interface displays an amber bar on the channel tile (only when there is a sink plugged in.)

In this case:

• ?VIDIN_STATUS will report UNSUPPORTED

• ?VIDOUT_BLOCKED to determine if Prequal has restricted the video. Responses are NONE, SWITCHER, or LEAF. (See ICSP cmd info for details).

No Video: incompatible HDCP "Premium Content" capabilities

The DGX system blocks Premium Content to anything except HDCP 2.2 sinks.

The System Configuration Interface shows if Premium content is being sent under the Flags section of the Input Channel’s Video Details, accessible from the channel’s Video Configuration tab, e.g. Flags: EmbAud | HDMI | HDCP | Premium.

No Video: scrambled (4K60) content

Scrambled (4K60) content requires a handshake between upstream and downstream nodes of the system which can fail to self-recover.

The System Configuration Interface shows if Scrambled content is being sent under the Flags section of the Input Channel’s Video Details, accessible from the channel’s Video Configuration tab, e.g. Flags: HDMI | Scrambled.

No Video: Capable source will not send 4K60 format

No Video: incompatible source device capabilities

3rd Party source and sink equipment feature sets can be confusing. For example, equipment with "4K" support can mean 4K60 4:4:4 or 4K24 4:2:2 or 4K60 4:2:0 which can be incompatible

Incorrect Video: HDR capable source not providing HDR content

-or-

4:2:0 capable source not providing 4:2:0 content

Either provide equipment that supports the desired format, or limit the allowed formats by loading a different EDID on the input channel

Provide HDCP 2.2 capable sink devices for Premium Content.

Switch away to non scrambled source and back to the scrambled content.

Note: Check the Video Details flags on the input channel and output channel(s) to make sure they match.

Load the supplied 4K60 EDID using the Switcher System Configuration Interface Configuration View or ICSP command VIDIN_EDID-4K60.

Note: Verify video format using Switcher System Configuration Interface Configuration View or ICSP command VIDIN_RES_REF.

Either provide equipment that supports the desired format, or limit the allowed formats by loading a different EDID on the input channel.

Note: Confirm capabilities in a simple source to sink environment, preferably with test equipment.

Add the support to EDID for HDR through Switcher System Configuration Interface Configuration View HDR Selection Box or via the ICSP command VIDIN_HDR-HDR10.

Verify HDR/4:2:0 support in input EDID with the MCPU console EDID report "edid --read [i|o]<num> --report".

Audio Troubleshooting

Before troubleshooting audio, it helps to understand how the system handles EDID information: The source reads and adapts to the pre-loaded EDID on the DGX HDMI input connector. The factory default EDID is set to support 2 channel LPCM audio. This EDID can be modified by using one of the methods described under "Possible Solutions" at the bottom of the page.

Audio Troubleshooting

Problem System Type Solution

1. Audio is not present with good video…

a. due to user error in routing the switched audio separately.

b. how to determine if the problem is an input side or output side issue.

c. INPUT SIDE ISSUE - due to source's use

of non-PCM source audio format with a system whose output side has a PCM 2channel requirement (most monitors with speakers require PCM 2-channel audio on the input side as does the ASB and ASB-D audio sub-systems).

Note: If you have ASB boards and a mixture of output devices, some of which can handle compressed or multichannel audio, see Configuring/ Switching the Down-mix Signal section on page 188 for information on how to set up and route your down-mix channel to those devices that only support 2channel audio.

d. INPUT SIDE ISSUE - due to source's use of non-PCM source audio format with an output side PCM 2-channel requirement (most monitors with speakers require PCM 2-channel audio on the input side as does the ASB and ASB-D audio subsystems).

e. INPUT SIDE ISSUE - due to DxLink Transmitter (DX-TX, DX-TX-WP, DX-TXDWP) & DxLink Fiber Transmitters source audio port settings.

Audio Switching Boards (ASB & ASB-DAN)

All, excluding channels with a Solecis Transmitter

Channel with a Solecis Transmitter

Any using DxLink or DxLink Fiber Transmitters

Check that you are using the switching mode you expected when you executed the switch. If you are not using the A/V switching mode (Audio follows Video), you will need to make a separate audio switch. This is a surprisingly common error.

If you are using a system with Audio Switching Boards (ASB or ASB-DAN expansion boards), see 1.a. before continuing with the rest of this solution set.

1. Regardless of the audios system type, use A/V switching mode (Audio follows Video) to route the audio to multiple outputs.

2. Do you get the audio anywhere? a. If the answer is no, you likely have an input side audio issue,

so start with the input side issue set. b. If the answer is yes, you likely have an output side audio issue, so start with the output side issue set.

The Enova DGX default EDIDs only support Basic (2-channel) audio. If you are experiencing this problem it means 1 of 2 things:

• the audio portion of your EDID is indicating support for something other than Basic, or PCM 2-Channel; or

• your source device is ignoring the EDID data provide.

1. Use the System Configuration Interface to verify that the

input channel's EDID Mode is set to some form of audio that your output device can handle. From the Configuration page, select the input channel and then the Audio configuration tab on the right half. Check that the EDID Mode is set to: Basic, or PCM 2-Channel.

2. If the EDID Mode is incorrect, you can fix it as follows:

a. If the EDID Mode is not one of the two PCM options (Basic, or PCM 2-Channel) and is not Custom, then change the setting to one of those options.

b. If the setting is Custom, follow the procedure outlined in

Verifying an output devices capabilities as communicated by its EDID at the end of the Audio Troubleshooting table to verify

the audio capabilities referenced in the custom EDID. If the audio capabilities shown in the Audio Data Block portion of the EDID include more than 2-channel LPCM, then you will need to look at your source device manual for find a way to force the audio to 2-channel audio.

3. If the EDID Mode is correct, then your source device is

ignoring the EDID and you will need to look at your source device manual for find a way to force the audio to 2-channel audio.

See the Solecis Manual for instructions on EDID programming.

Note: In some instances you may need to use the DGX Configuration Software (Appendix F of the ENOVA DGX 100 SERIES DIGITAL MEDIA SWITCHERS manual to reach your final solution).

1. Verify the transmitter audio setting by using NetLinx Studio

to send the following commands:

?AUDIN_FORMAT_AUTO (options are ENABLED or DISABLED) ?AUDIN_FORMAT (options are HDMI, SPDIF, ANALOG)

2. Based on these settings, the audio being presented will be

coming from the audio port in the table on page 94.

Note: If the port has no audio coming in, silent audio will be passed through the system to the output device.

3. If the selected source audio port is not the port you desire,

use NetLinx Studio and the Send commands from the Audio

SEND_COMMANDs (Transmitters) table in the DXLink Transmitter Audio SEND_COMMANDs section of the NetLinx Programming of DXLink Transmitters and Receivers chapter of

the Transmitter/Receiver Manual to select the port you desire.

4. If the port is the expected source audio port, then look at

one of the other Audio is not present with good video options in this table.

2. If the port number is not the one you expect, and:

a. you wish to use the same audio input port as the video,

f. INPUT SIDE ISSUE - due to Solecis Transmitter source audio port settings.

g. INPUT SIDE ISSUE - due to the input channel's Audio Configuration settings.

h. INPUT SIDE ISSUE - due to carrier video signal having insufficient space for audio signal.

A signal containing both video and audio must have space for both signal portions. The audio signal portion lies in the blanked portion of the video signal. High Bit Rate Audio (HBRA) requires a larger than normal space in the blanked area of the signal. Video formats with reduced blanking normally provide enough space for audio signals. In a signal that combines a video format with reduced blanking and HBRA, the HBRA signal is truncated and can present as either no audio or as problematic audio. While Enova DGX hardware supports both HBRA and reduced blanking video formats, these formats do not necessarily work with one another.

i. OUTPUT SIDE ISSUE - due to DVI output device.

j. OUTPUT SIDE ISSUE - Audio is not present on 2-channel sink (TV/monitor) with good video while it is present on a multichannel sink (AVR or TV/monitor that supports multi-channel audio formats).

Most likely due to source's use of nonPCM source audio format with a DxLink Receiver analog output port's PCM 2channel requirement.

k. OUTPUT SIDE ISSUE - Audio is not present on DxLink Receiver (DX-RX, DXRX-4k) analog output port with good video due to source's use of non-PCM

source audio format with a DxLink Receiver analog output port's PCM 2channel requirement.

l. OUTPUT SIDE ISSUE - Audio is not present on ASB analog output channel or ASB-D Dante channel with good video due to

source's use of non-PCM source audio format with an switched audio subsystem PCM 2-channel requirement.

then from the System Configuration Interface Configuration page, select the Input port and on the SDX-514-DX 4K Digital Switcher sub-section select the source you desire.

b. you wish to use the analog Audio Input port with HDMI video, then use NetLinx Studio to send the audio switch command for the port you need, e.g. AI3O1 will send analog audio input port 3 to the Solecis output port.

3. If you are still no getting audio, then look at one of the other

2. Verify that Input Gain is not set too low. Note its current

setting and slide it to right to 24. If you don't get any audio, you can return it to its prior setting. If you do, then adjust it to a new desired setting.

Change either the audio format to non-HBRA or change the video format to a format that does not use reduced blanking.

Note: HBRA is only supported on CEA formats.

These changes can be carried out directly on the source device (see source manual) or by manipulating the EDID in the input channel

Devices with EDIDs that report themselves as "do not support audio" and the audio is therefore blocked from being sent to the device. See Verifying an output devices capabilities as communicated by its EDID at end of table for more info on how identify your devices audio capabilities.

See 1.c.

Note: You will essential need to reduce audio everywhere to 2-channel for that source.

See 1.c. if you do not have Audio Switching Boards (ASB or ASB-DAN).

See 1.m. if you do have Audio Switching Boards (ASB or ASBDAN), you can use the audio Downmix channel to deliver audio to your 2-channel only output devices. See Configuring/Switching the Down-mix Signalsection on page 188 for information on how to set up and route your downmix channel.

If you have a system design that only supports 2-channel audio on all of the system outputs, then see 1.c.

If you have ASB boards and a mixture of output devices, some of which can handle compressed or multi-channel audio, see Configuring/Switching the Down-mix Signal section on page 188for information on how to set up and route your down-mix channel to those devices that only support 2-channel audio.

Verifying an output devices capabilities as communicated by its EDID

An output device communicate its audio and video format capabilities to the source device via it's EDID. To check if a destination supports a particular type of audio format, capture the EDID using the System Configuration Interface’s Save

EDID function and then paste the data from the .edid file into an EDID reader program (e.g., www.edidreader.com The audio capabilities data is in Block 1 under the Audio Data Block and the Speaker Allocation Data sections. If the device only supports 2-channel LPCM, this will be the only audio referenced in this Audio Data Block.

NOTE: Other audio troubleshooting problems and solution can be found in the audio boards chapters specific to: Enova

DGX Dante™ Audio Switching Boards (page 150), Enova DGX Audio Switching Boards (page 164), and Enova DGX Audio Insert/Extract Boards (page 175).

1. It is recommended that you set up all 2-channel-PCM-only

sinks to use switched audio.

2.Use the audio Downmix channel to deliver audio to your 2-

channel only output devices. See Configuring/Switching the Down-mix Signal section on page 188 for information on how to set up and route your downmix channel.

1. Select the output channel with no audio and the select the

Audio configuration tab.

2. Verify that Mute is not checked. If it is checked, uncheck it.

3. Verify that the Output Volume is set to 100%. If it is not set to

100%, note its current setting and slide it to 100% to see if you get any audio. If you don't get any audio, you can return it to its prior setting. If you do, then adjust it to a new desired setting.

See 1.c. above.

The Audio Switching Board sub-system suppresses any non-2channel audio for the audio switching sub-system, so that you should rarely hear this and if you do, it will be extremely brief.

See the Configuring/Switching the Down-mix Signal section on page 188 for information on how to set up and route your downmix channel to get good audio to this channel. If you want to force your source to only put out 2-channel PCM audio, see 1.c. above.

Use the System Configuration Interface's Configuration page for the output channel to use switched audio by:

1. Selecting the output channel and then the Audio tab on

configuration side of the page.

2. In the General sub-section, click on the Switched button

below Audio Routing. This will eliminate the hiss.

3. See the Configuring/Switching the Down-mix Signal section

on page 188 for information on how to set up and route your downmix channel.

Reboot audio output board from the System Configuration Interface's Status page.

Note: this will kill all switched audio on the entire system for a few seconds.

enclosure holds a maximum of sixteen input and sixteen output boards, accommodating connector configurations up to a maximum of 64x64, as well as subsets in increments of four (e.g., 12x48 or 52x8).

Signal Routing

DGX HDMI Input Boards route signals to DGX HDMI Output Boards or to any other type of Enova DGX Output Boards. HDMI Output Boards can also accept signals from all of the other types of Enova DGX Boards. When routing signals between different board types, the Enova DGX Switcher automatically converts the signal format to match the output board.

NOTE: HDMI Boards can also work in conjunction with Audio Switching Boards (see page 164) or AIE Boards (see page 175).

IMPORTANT: Signals through HDMI Boards in the Enova DGX Switcher normally produce a quality image and provide support for the most flexible audio settings because the connectors are pre-loaded with the most common EDID settings to ensure they will work with the source devices. In addition to common EDIDs on the inputs, SmartScale on every output also greatly helps ensure that all signals are satisfactory. Therefore, adjustments are not necessary unless the installation has special scaling, EDID, or HDCP requirements. If changes to EDID settings or scaling settings are needed, use the System Configuration interface (see page 127)

4K Signal Routing

By default, 4K HDMI Input Boards route 4K video from an attached source device through the Enova DGX to an output board (or via a DXLink Output Board to a DXLink Receiver). In order to receive 4K video at the destination device, the entire signal path (e.g., source device, input board, output board, receiver module, and destination device) must support 4K video formats.

4K signals passed to output boards or Receiver Modules that are not 4K capable result in no signals being shown on the destination device. To resolve compatibility issues, change the format from the source device or route the 4K formatted signal to a 4K capable output board/Receiver. 4K HDMI Boards require Category 2 high-speed cable for use with 4K content.

HDMI Input & Output Boards

Enova Digital Media Switchers - Hardware Reference Manual

InstaGate Pro and SmartScale

HDMI Boards are HDCP 1.4 compatible and feature InstaGate Pro Technology for low-latency switching of HDCP

protected content and support computer video up to 1920x1200 and HDTV up to 1080p. The HDMI Boards also support embedded audio, both linear PCM (stereo audio) and non-linear PCM (Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby TrueHD, etc.).

NOTE:

InstaGate Pro Technology eliminates HDCP latency and interruptions on all displays in a system. (These conditions are typically experienced when HDCP authenticates HDMI source and destination devices.) With InstaGate Pro Technology, when a source requires HDCP encrypted content, the inputs and compliant downstream devices are automatically authenticated ? it just works.

4K HDMI Boards are HDCP 1.4 compatible and feature InstaGate Pro Technology* for low-latency switching of

HDCP protected content and support progressive resolutions from 480p up to 4096x2160p@60Hz (Y/Cb/Cr 4:2:0). 4K HDMI Boards also support embedded audio, both linear PCM (stereo audio) and non-linear PCM (Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby TrueHD, etc.).

HDMI Boards meet HDCP Standards. For information on HDCP functionality for HDMI Boards, see "HDCP Support on

Enova DGX Switchers" on page 103.

HDMI Boards provide EDID emulation support with plug-and-play information provided by the Enova DGX

Switcher.

HDMI Output Boards feature SmartScale Technology which automatically responds to the preferred EDID

information and scales the video to the best resolution and video settings for that display without manual setup.
