Instruction Manual – DXLink Fiber Transmitters and Receivers
DGX Configuration Software Overview
Important: Because signals routed through DXLink Fiber Transmitters normally produce a quality image, you
will not need the information in this appendix unless the installation has special EDID requirements for HDMI
or VGA.
Important: DGX Configuration Software can be used either with an individual Transmitter (all Directional
Modes) or with a complete switcher run (TXs/RXs and I/O boards) with fiber strands connected on all
transceiver ports and the run in Bidirectional Mode. The instructions on this page and the next page address
using the software with an individual Transmitter. For instructions on using DGX Configuration with a
complete switcher run, see the “Instruction Manual – Enova DGX 8/16/32/64 Digital Media Switchers.”
AMX’s DGX Configuration Software has a tabbed view for EDID Programming. This view can be used to re-program
the EDID EEPROM chips for the HD-15 and HDMI connectors on the DXLink Fiber Transmitters, allowing for custom
configuration of the EDID data that is stored on them.
Note: Scaling and HDCP settings can be applied via SEND_COMMANDs (see the chapter “NetLinx
Programming of DXLink Fiber Transmitters and Receivers” on page 77). If a DXLink Fiber Receiver is
connected to an Enova DGX DXLink Fiber Output Board, DGX Configuration Software can be used via the
Enova DGX for scaling (see the “Instruction Manual – Enova DGX 8/16/32/64 Digital Media Switchers”).
DGX Configuration Software is available at www.amx.com
(see DXLink Fiber Transmitter product pages) and includes
a standard Help file with detailed information.

video card with dual outputs (see Caution below)
Recommended Hardware: 2.0 GHz, 512 MB RAM*
* The installation process requires 36 MB of disk space for the DGX Configuration Software installer. Once installed,

Software Installation on PC
Important: Administrator rights are required to install DGX Configuration Software.
To install DGX Configuration Software:
1.
From the DXLink Fiber Transmitters product page at www.amx.com (under Application Files on the right)
double-click, “DGX Configuration Software.”
2. Click “I Accept” for the AMX License Agreement, and then select Open to download the file.
3. Optional – Select DGX_Config_SoftwareReadMe_vX_X to read about the software before installation.
4. Click the application file (which is zipped).
5. In the Compressed (zipped) Folders dialog box, click Extract All.
6. Select a destination for the files.
7. When the download is complete, click the application file and follow the directions in the installation wizard.
Caution: We strongly urge the user not to use video cards with DMS-59 connectors. Video cards with
DMS-59 connectors have been shown to fail consistently and, in the worst case, can corrupt an EDID data
file. A laptop PC with a VGA or DVI out is a good solution. Cards with 2 DVI connectors, 2 VGA connectors,
or 1 DVI and 1 VGA connector are also acceptable.
