Enova®DGX 8 Enclosure

AVS-ENOVADGX8-ENC (FG1058-08)

Overview

The Enova DGX 8 Enclosure is a Digital Media Matrix Switcher that includes an

integrated NetLinx Controller, redundant power supplies and can be populated

with Enova DGX video input and output boards in addition to optional audio

insert/extract boards. There are four connections per video board, and each

enclosure holds two video input boards and two video output boards for a

maximum matrix of 8x8.

The Enova DGX 8 is far beyond a modular media switcher with built-in controller - it functions as the

centerpiece of a complete integrated solution that manages and distributes analog and digital audio and video

including HDMI/HDCP, control and Ethernet. Easily integrate HDCP into system designs and enjoy hassle-free

plug-and-play operation. No tools, no delays and no key constraints –it just works with AMX’s exclusive

InstaGate Pro® Technology. Built for today's and tomorrow's needs, a comprehensive set of Enova DGX hot

swappable boards can be used in conjunction with DXLink and DGX Transmitters and Receivers to provide an

end-to-end distribution system over twisted pair cable or fiber. An integrated NetLinx Controller and embedded

Ethernet switch enables management of the entire solution including source equipment and display devices

located throughout the environment –all from a single point of control.

In addition to eliminating HDCP delays, InstaGate Pro allows traditionally key limited sources to be switched

freely to all connected HDCP compliant displays –eliminating HDCP key limitations that plague large

applications. Built-in SmartScale® Technology on every output provides video that is perfectly scaled for each

connected display, eliminating the integration challenges that can occur when sources and displays have

different supported resolutions - making it easy to specify, easy to install and easy to use. With the powerful

combination of analog-to-digital signal conversion, video scaling and high speed digital switching the system

delivers perfect video every time –regardless of signal type.

As part of a complete distribution system, easily send analog or digital audio and video including HDMI with

HDCP signals, plus control 10 Km over single mode fiber or 300 meters over multimode fiber; send all this plus

power up to 100 meters over standard twisted pair cable to and from the Enova DGX using the DXLink Twisted

Pair and Fiber Transmitters/Receivers.

Common Applications

The Enova DGX 8 is ideal for commercial or residential installations requiring the highest quality video to be

shared between 8 local or remote AV sources and destinations. Compact form factor allows for installation in

locations where space is limited and included redundant power supplies provides for constant uptime for mission

critical applications.

Features

HDMI/HDCP Switching with Simplicity of Analog –End-to-end distribution of HDMI/HDCP without

interruption or key constraints using InstaGate Pro Technology

HDCP Compliance Over Fiber –Compatible DXLink Fiber boards transmit uncompressed video, including

HDCP protected content, up to 10 Km at 10 Gbps (single mode fiber options transmit 10 Km, multimode 300

Fiber Your Way –DXLink Fiber boards are available in single mode or multimode; simplex or duplex

AV and Control over Twisted Pair, Fiber or Both –Send audio, video, bi-directional control and Ethernet over

twisted pair or fiber cable, or integrate both into the same system

Embedded NetLinx Controller –Allows any connected device to be managed, monitored and controlled

Integrated Ethernet Switch –Pass Ethernet through the attached DXLink Twisted Pair or Fiber Transmitters

and Receivers

Analog to Digital Video Conversion with Scaled Outputs –Converts any source signal to digital and uses

SmartScale Technology to automatically output video that is perfectly scaled for each connected display

Key Dealer Benefits

HDCP With Simplicity of Analog –Hassle-free plug-and-play operation eliminates the need for time-

consuming, cumbersome work around tools to deal with HDCP key constraints and resolution

incompatibilities

All-In-One Control and Distribution Solution –Powerful combination of modular matrix switcher, built-in

controller, embedded Ethernet switch and video scaling on every output simplifies the end-to-end

distribution and management of audio, video and control throughout multiple rooms

Fast Easy Installation –Leverage pre-existing standard twisted pair infrastructure to distribute high-

definition video, audio, control and Ethernet

Key Customer Benefits

Picture Perfect –Prevents degraded video due to incompatibilities between different display resolutions by

scaling the video to match each display's preferred resolution using innovative SmartScale Technology

Interruption-Free Content –Exclusive InstaGate Pro Technology allows audio and video to be switched

quickly and easily to every connected display without the difficulties typically associated with HDCP

Audio, Video and Control Everywhere –Provides end-to-end distribution of audio, video and control signals

throughout a residence or commercial facility over one twisted pair cable

Additional Features

InstaGate Pro Technology –Easily integrate HDCP into system designs and enjoy hassle-free matrix switching

to all compliant displays. No tools, no delays, and no key constraints –it just works

SmartScale Technology –Automatically responds to the display's declared EDID information and scales the

video to the best resolution and video parameters for that display without manual setup; this prevents

inferior video quality when sources are forced to lower resolutions to support the least capable display in the

system

DXLink Twisted Pair Input and Output Boards –HDCP Compliant boards send audio, video, control, Ethernet

and power over one standard twisted pair cable up to 200m –100m to the matrix switcher and 100m after

the matrix switcher, see the Cabling for Success with DXLink white paper for more details

Built-in NetLinx Controller –Easily program and manage the entire solution including source equipment and

display devices located across multiple rooms –all from a single point of control

Easily Convert Analog to Digital Signals –Use the Enova DGX Digital Media Switcher in conjunction with

DXLink Multi-Format Transmitters (Twisted Pair or Fiber), and easily integrate legacy analog sources and

automatically convert their signals to digital

Hot Swappable Video Input / Output Boards –Easily add or replace I/O boards at any time after deployment

- the system automatically recognizes the new configuration and activates the boards

Audio Insert / Extract Boards –Add audio from a local source or extract embedded audio and send to a

separate audio system to distribute throughout an environment

Fiber Input and Output Boards –Use in conjunction with DGX Fiber Transmitters and Receivers to send

analog and digital audio and video over fiber

3D Support –Pass through latest video formats including 3D and Deep Color

Surround Sound Support –Pass through high definition surround sound including Dolby TrueHD, Dolby

Digital, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS, and 2-channel through 8-channel L-PCM

High Speed Digital Switching –12.8 Gbps ensures perfect pixel for pixel reproduction of video

Fully Redundant Power Supplies with Independent Power Paths –Ensures maximum reliability for

applications that require 24/7 uptime
