Quick Start Guide
AutoPatch DG DVI MTP Fiber Modules
Overview
DG (Digital Generation) DVI MTP®Fiber Transmitter (TX) and Receiver (RX) Modules
work together (FIG. 2) or in conjunction with MTP Fiber boards on an AMX AutoPatch
Distribution Matrix. This guide contains complete information for standalone use.
For use with a distribution matrix, see the distribution matrix’s instruction manual on
the AMX AutoPatch Software & Documentation CD or visit www.amx.com.
A table containing EDID resolutions is included on the reverse.

Mounting Options
• Desktop – attach the rubber feet (included) on the bottom of the module.
• Rack Trays & Mounting Brackets – contact your AMX representative for details.
Installation
Typical System Setup
The TX receives DVI-D signals from 3 source devices and sends them over one fiber
cable. The RX accepts the signals from the fiber cable, converts the signals back to
DVI-D, and sends each signal to its corresponding destination device.
Attaching Connectors
Note: The DVI connector numbers on the TX and RX correspond to the Video Signal
indicators on the front of the TX.
To attach connectors:
1. Check EDID switch on front of TX to be sure that it remains set to the right (WP).
2. For each source device, insert the DVI connector into the DVI jack on the rear of
the TX (FIG. 3). For DVI-I pinout, see FIG. 5.
3. For each destination device, insert the DVI connector into the DVI jack on the
rear of the RX.
Caution: Do not severely bend or kink the fiber cable. These
actions can cause irreversible damage to the cable.
4. Insert the MTP/MPO plug on oneend of the fiber cable into the Fiber (MTP/MPO)
jack on the front of the TX (FIG. 4).
5. Insert the other end of the fiber cable into the Fiber jack on the front of the RX.
6. For each destination device, insert its DVI plug into a DVI jack on rear of the RX.
7. Insert the power plugs into the power jacks on the TX and RX (FIG. 4).
8. Plug the power transformers into the power sources.
DVI-I TX & RX Module Connector Pinouts
* The +5 V on pin 14 on the TX Module will supply a maximum of 55 mA.
TX LED Indicators
Video Signal Indicators
Numbering corresponds to the numbering for DVI connectors on the rear of the TX.
• Green – DVI signal path has a valid signal
• Red – DVI signal path has lost its signal
Fault Indicator (Optical)
• OFF – Optical converter is functioning normally
• Red – Optical converter has a fault condition
Troubleshooting
If an indicator on the TX is red, check its corresponding connector and the
corresponding connector on the source device and then cycle power on the TX.
