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. These items should not be manufactured locally, since they are generally composed of highly resistive conductive materials to safely drain static discharges, without increasing an electrocution risk in the event of an accident.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.

WARNING: Do Not Open! Risk of Electrical Shock. Voltages in this equipment are hazardous to life. No user-serviceable parts inside. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Place the equipment near a main power supply outlet and make sure that you can easily access the power breaker switch.

WARNING: This product is intended to be operated ONLY from the voltages listed on the back panel or the recommended, or included, power supply of the product. Operation from other voltages other than those indicated may cause irreversible damage to the product and void the products warranty. The use of AC Plug Adapters is cautioned because it can allow the product to be plugged into voltages in which the product was not designed to operate. If the product is equipped with a detachable power cord, use only the type provided with your product or by your local distributor and/or retailer. If you are unsure of the correct operational voltage, please contact your local distributor and/or retailer.

WARNING: Avoid exposure to extreme heat or cold.

FIG. 6 AxLink Ports

The AxLink port can be used to supply power to downstream AxLink-compatible devices. The port is capable of providing at least 0.5 Amps of 12V power.

For information on wiring for the AxLink port, see the AXLINK KEYPAD Port section on page 28.

Keypad Feedback

You can provide feedback such as button illumination on a keypad button press by turning ON the button channel of the defined AxLink keypad when a button is pressed. Setting the button channel to OFF turns off the button keypad LED.

NOTE: You cannot change the button LED brightness when the keypad is connected to the switcher. You can only change the LED brightness when the keypad is connected to a Master. You can connect the keypad to a Master, set the LED brightness, then connect the keypad to the switcher and the button LEDs will retain their brightness settings from the Master. Consult the Instruction Manual for your keypad for information on setting the button LED brightness.

CONFIG DIP Switch

Use the Configuration DIP switch to enable/disable the LAN ports, set the DXLink mode, and set network connectivity. All DIP switches are initially set to the OFF position. DIP switch settings are read on reboot. Any changes to the DIP switch settings are not acted upon until after you reboot the device.

FIG. 7 displays the CONFIG DIP switch.

4 Set the	external button behavior of the SDX-51xM-DX to Cycle or Direct*. You must reboot the switcher to enable any change In the switch setting. (This switch does not effect the SDX-410/414-DX or SDX-810-DX.)	Sets the external button behavior to Direct during a reboot. Setting this switch to the ON position without rebooting the switcher does not change the external button behavior.	Uses the external button behavior setting established by the EXTERNAL_BUTTON_ACTION command.NOTE:To upload a custom VGA EDID using DGX Configuration Software, switch 4 must be set to OFF.

* - In Cycle mode, an external button press results in a move to the next video input (see the All Cycle Contact Closure (SDX-51xM-DX only) section on page 36 for more information.) In Direct mode, the external buttons directly relate to the input (external button 1 selects input 1, external button 2 selects button 2, etc.)

ID Pushbutton

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

• Toggle between DHCP and static IP addressing (see page 33)
• Assign a device address (see page 34)
• Reset the unit to its factory default settings, which affects the parameters but not the firmware version (see page 34)
• Restore the unit to its factory firmware image, which affects both the firmware version and the parameters (see page 34)

The functions performed depend on when and for how long the ID Pushbutton is pressed and held. ID Pushbutton functions can also be implemented using Telnet commands.

FIG. 8 displays the ID pushbutton.

FIG. 8 ID Pushbutton

Dual External Button/LED Control Connectors

The Dual External Button/LED Control connectors are 5-pin, 3.5mm terminal screw connectors that you can use to connect a single-button module such as the HPX-U100-BTN.

Each 5-pin connector accepts up to two single-button modules. The SDX-41x-DX features two 5-pin connectors, so you can connect up to four single-button modules to the switcher. The SDX-810-DX features four 5-pin connectors, allowing for up to eight single-button module connections to the switcher. (The SDX-51xM-DX features one 3-pin External button connector and two sets of 5-pin Dual External button connectors. See the GROUP INPUTS (SDX-51xM-DX only) section on page 21 for more information on how the 3-pin External button connector works with group inputs.)

With a single button module connected to one of these Dual External Button connectors, you can press the button on the module to switch to the corresponding input, and also send a button press event to a connected Master. You can use this function to have the Master send a command back to the switcher to execute an additional event.

Inputs and Outputs

The following sub-sections describe each component on the rear panel of the switchers. Refer to FIG. 3 on page 17 for the complete layout of the rear panel.

HDMI INPUTS

The HDMI INPUT connectors on the rear panel route digital video (and audio) from connected source input devices to the connected output devices. The SDX-41x-DX features four connectors, while the SDX-810-DX features eight and the SDX-51xM-DX features three. These inputs support the following audio formats:

• Dolby TrueHD
• Dolby Digital
  • DTS-HD Master Audio™
  • DTS

NOTE: 2 CH through 8 CH L-PCM Dolby Digital and DTS support up to 48kHz, 5.1 channels.

FIG. 11 HDMI INPUTS

For more information about these connectors, including wiring, see the HDMI INPUTS section on page 24.

GROUP INPUTS (SDX-51xM-DX only)

The two GROUP INPUTS areas on the rear panel each feature an HDMI port, a 15-pin VGA port, a 1/8" mini-Stereo jack, and a 5-pin 3.5mm Dual External Button/LED Control connector.

The HDMI input supports a digital audio/video source. The VGA input port supports analog video. Use the 1/8" mini-Stereo jack for analog audio. Though these two sets of input ports support separate digital and analog video sources, you can only select one input at a time to be sourced to the output ports.

The SDX-51xM-DX has two sets of groups in which the first group external button/LED control connector is used to cycle through the inputs within a particular group. On the SDX-51xM-DX, HDMI INPUT 1 is always the first input on both groups. Group 1 contains inputs 1, 2, and 3. Group 2 contains inputs 1, 4, and 5. You can route the audio/video from one input within a group at a time.

You can cycle through the inputs in each group by clicking a single button module connected to the Dual External button/LED Control connector for each group (see FIG. 12). For group 1, connect the single button module to contact closure 2. For group 2, connect the single button module to contact closure 4. Connecting button modules to contact closures 3 or 5 will not have any effect on switching within either group. Contact closures 3 and 5 are not tied to specific inputs, but you can use them for an auxiliary button press trigger event notification which can be recognized by a NetLinx Master for programming purposes.

NOTE: If there is only signal on the PC-IN HDMI port and no signal on the Group HDMI or VGA ports, then an external button press on the specified Group will toggle between the PC-IN HDMI and Black Video with Analog Audio.

NOTE: With Group Input button switching, connection to a Master is not needed. The button press results in the switcher directly cycling through the inputs in the group.

Important Twisted Pair Cabling Requirements and Recommendations

The following requirements and recommendations apply to cabling DXLink (RJ-45) connectors:

• DXLink cable runs require shielded category cable (STP) of Cat6 (or better).
• DXLink twisted pair cable runs for DXLink equipment shall only be run within a common building.*
• DXLink delivers 10.2 Gb/s throughput over shielded category cable. Based on this bandwidth requirement, we recommend following industry standard practices designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet when designing and installing the cable infrastructure.
• The cables should not be longer than necessary to reach the end-points. We recommend terminating the cable to the actual distance required rather than leaving any excess cable in a service loop.

For more details and helpful cabling information, reference the white paper titled "Cabling for Success with DXLink" available at www.amx.com or contact your AMX representative.

* "Common building" is defined as: Where the walls of the structure(s) are physically connected and the structure(s) share a single ground reference.

AXLINK KEYPAD Port

The AXLINK KEYPAD port allows the switcher to provide data and power to up to two external AxLink keypads.

FIG. 26 displays the AxLink port on the SDX-41x-DX.

Connections and Setup

The following sections describe how to connect your switcher to your network, audio/video sources, and accessories.

Setting the DIP Switches

Use the Configuration DIP switch to enable/disable the LAN ports and set network connectivity. All DIP switches are initially set to the OFF position. The DIP switches are located on the front panels of the SDX-41x-DX and SDX-810-DX, and on the rear panel of the SDX-51xM-DX.

Enabling the LAN 10/100 Ports on the Switcher

The LAN 10/100 ports on the switchers are disabled by default. You can enable the ports by setting #1 DIP switch to ON (see FIG. 37).

Enabling Network Connectivity on the Switcher

Network connectivity on the switchers is disabled by default. You can enable network connectivity by setting #3 DIP switch to ON (see FIG. 37).

FIG. 37 Config DIP Switch

Connecting the Switcher to a Video Output

The switchers can transmit a signal simultaneously to both DXLink and HDMI outputs.

• The switcher uses standard HDMI cabling to connect to the HDMI output. Use an HDMI cable to connect the HDMI OUT port on the rear panel of the device to the display device. (On the SDX-51xM-DX, the HDMI OUT port is located on the front panel.)
• The switcher uses category cabling to connect to the DXLink output. See the Important Twisted Pair Cabling Requirements and Recommendations section on page 27 for information about cable requirements for the DXLink port. Use category cabling to connect the DXLINK port on the rear panel of the device to the DXLink input port on a DXLink receiver, Enova DVX switcher, or Enova DGX switcher. (On the SDX-51xM-DX, the DXLINK POWERED port is located on the front panel.)

Applying Power

Once your have mounted the switcher, set the DIP switches, and connected the appropriate input and output devices to the ports on the switcher, apply power by connecting the recommended power supply for your switcher. SDX-51xM-DX switchers include a universal power cord, so no external power supply is needed for that model of switcher.

The SDX-41x-DX and SDX-810-DX switchers require use of one of the following AMX power supplies (not included):

• PSR4.4, 13.5 VDC, 4.4 A Power Supply with 3.5mm Phoenix Connector with Retention Screws (FG423-46)
• PSN6.5, 13.5 VDC, 6.5 A Power Supply with (3) 3.5mm Phoenix Connectors (FG423-41)

Toggling Between IP Addressing Modes: DHCP and Static IP

Solecis Digital Switchers support both DHCP and static IP addresses. When the #3 DIP switch is set to ON (see the CONFIG DIP Switch section on page 19), the switchers automatically use DHCP with link-local fallback. However, you can use a static IP address which you can set via a Telnet command (SET IP), or you can use the factory default static IP address. The default static IP address can be recalled at any time by resetting the unit to its factory default configuration. The default static IP address is 192.168.1.2. The default link-local address is 169.254.2.2. The switcher defaults to the link-local address if no IP address is obtained from a DHCP server.

The ID Pushbutton can be used to toggle between the DHCP and Static IP Modes.

Perform these steps to toggle between IP addressing modes:

1. After the switcher boots, press and hold the ID Pushbutton until the STATUS and LINK/ACT LEDs toggle back and forth in unison approximately 10 times.

2. Release the pushbutton when the LEDs start to blink faster.

3. When you release the Pushbutton, the switcher toggles either from static to dynamic (DHCP) IP addressing or vice versa and remains in that mode until you use the ID Pushbutton to toggle the IP mode again or you perform a factory reset.

4. The switcher automatically reboots to complete the process.

Assigning a Device Address (ID Mode)

You can use the ID Pushbutton in conjunction with the ID (Identify) Mode feature in NetLinx Studio. A momentary press of the ID Pushbutton assigns a device address to the switcher (which must be bound to the Master). You must first place the device in ID Mode in NetLinx Studio or the momentary press will be ignored.

NOTE: The latest version of NetLinx Studio is available to download and install from www.amx.com. Refer to the NetLinx Studio online help for instructions on using the application.

Perform these steps to assign a device address:

1. Check to be sure DIP switch #3 on the switcher is set to ON.
2. In NetLinx Studio's OnLine Tree, select the Master to which the switcher is bound.
3. From the Diagnostic menu, select Device Addressing. The Device Addressing dialog box opens.
4. In the ID Mode section, enter the Device and System numbers that you want assigned to the device in the appropriate text boxes.
5. Click Start Identify Mode to place the named system in ID Mode. The button changes to "Cancel Identify Mode" (click to cancel ID Mode). The text box below the button displays a "Waiting...Press Cancel to Quit" message.

NOTE: When in ID Mode, the entire system is put on hold while it waits for an event from any NetLinx device in the named system (e.g., pressing the ID Pushbutton on the Receiver). The device that generates the first event is the device that will be "identified."

1. Briefly press and release the ID Pushbutton on the switcher. The switcher will exhibit the following behavior:

2. Respond with an ID Mode address response.
   • Report its old address offline.
   • Report its new address online.

The Online Tree will refresh to display the new device address for the switcher.

NOTE: NetLinx Studio (v3.3 or later) provides the ability to auto-increment IP Addresses and Hostnames as well as Device and System Numbers. Refer to the NetLinx Studio online help for details.

Resetting the Factory Default Settings

During power up – if you hold the ID Pushbutton until the STATUS and LINK/ACT LEDs toggle back and forth in unison approximately 10 times, then release the pushbutton when the LEDs begin to blink faster, the switcher will reset to its factory default settings, which affect the parameters of the device, but not the firmware version.

Perform these steps to reset the factory default settings:

1. Press and hold the ID Pushbutton while plugging in the power connector. Start counting when the STATUS and LINK/ACT LEDs begin to flash in unison, not when the power connector is inserted.
2. Once the switcher has started booting, both STATUS and LINK/ACT LEDs flash in unison at the rate of once per second.
3. After 10 flashes at that rate, the LEDs will blink in unison at a faster rate.

NOTE: A press-and-hold of the ID Pushbutton at power up will prevent the switcher from attempting to come online until the ID Pushbutton is released. The switcher will only attempt to come online if you release the Pushbutton prior to the faster blink rate.

1. At the point that the blink rate increases, release the ID Pushbutton.

2. The switcher will automatically reboot to complete the process.

NOTE: Typically, after a switcher boots, the last active input prior to the reboot becomes the active input when Auto Select is ENABLED. However, after a factory reset, the first input port will become active. If another signal is detected while Auto Select is enabled, the switcher will switch to that signal.

Restore the Factory Firmware Image and Factory Default Parameters

During power up – if the ID Pushbutton is held until the STATUS and LINK/ACT LEDs toggle back and forth in unison approximately 30 times (10 slow, 20 fast) and then released when they go solid, the module's factory firmware image will be restored. This procedure affects both the firmware version and the parameters.

Perform these steps to restore the factory firmware image and factory default parameters:

1. Press and hold the ID Pushbutton while plugging in the power connector. Start counting when the STATUS and LINK/ACT LEDs begin to flash in unison, not when the power connector is inserted.

2. After the LEDs complete the following sequence, release the ID Pushbutton:

3. Once the switcher has started booting up, all LEDs flash in unison at the rate of once per second.

4. After 10 flashes at that rate, the LEDs will blink in unison at a faster rate.

5. After 10 seconds of flashing at the increased rate, all LEDs go to solid on.

6. Upon release of the ID Pushbutton, the switcher executes the following actions:

7. Restores itself to its factory firmware image.

8. Resets to factory default parameters

9. Once all actions in Step 3 are completed, the LEDs all turn off, indicating the switcher is ready to reboot.

The switcher automatically reboots to complete the process.

Video Switching

Overview

This chapter discusses the various methods you can use to change between video inputs on your switcher. You can use the following methods:

• Auto Switching Mode
• Manual Mode (Input selection via a physical button press or ICSP command)

Auto Switching Mode

Auto Switching mode is the default switching mode. With Auto Switching mode, the switcher responds to the most recently added video input by switching the new input to display on the HDMI and DXLink output.

• On the SDX-41x-DX and SDX-810-DX, if the selected input is removed, the switcher remains on that input.
• On the SDX-51xM-DX, if the selected input is removed, the switcher switches to the PC-IN input. If the PC-IN input is removed, the switcher remains on the PC-IN input.

NOTE: If you reboot the switcher when Auto Switching is enabled, the switcher displays the last input selected before the reboot. If you manually select an input with an invalid signal before rebooting, the same input with the invalid signal will be displayed after the reboot.

Auto Switching mode is enabled by default. You can disable Auto Switching mode by using the VIDIN_AUTO_SELECT command. See page 43 for more information on this command.

Manual Switching Mode

Manual Switching mode involves making a video input selection by a physical button press. The Select button on the front of the panel enables you to quickly cycle through all available inputs on the switcher. Each button press progresses the input selection to the next numbered input. Once you reach the end of the available inputs, the next button press returns the selection to video input position 1.

You can use the following NetLinx commands to select a video or audio input.

• See the VI0
  command on page 43 for information on the NetLinx command you can use to select the video input you want to use.
• See the AIO
  command on page 41 for information on the NetLinx command you can use to select an audio input.

NOTE: The above commands are only available for use with the SDX-51xM-DX switcher.

- See the CI0

command on page 42 for information on the NetLinx command you can use to select both an audio and video input to send to the output.

All Cycle Contact Closure (SDX-51xM-DX only)

Each switcher features one or more External Button/LED Control connectors which match the functionality of the Select button when using a remote push button. The connectors enable you to cycle through all of the inputs in which each press results in a move to the next video input. See the Dual External Button/LED Control Connectors section on page 20 for more information.

Group Switching (SDX-51xM-DX only)

The SDX-51xM-DX has two sets of groups in which the first external button LED control connector is used to cycle through the inputs within a particular group. HDMI INPUT 1 is always the first input on both groups. Group 1 contains inputs 1, 2, and 3. Group 2 contains inputs 1, 4, and 5. You can route the audio/video from one input within a group at a time. You can cycle through the inputs in each group by clicking a single button module connected to the External button connector located next to HDMI INPUT 1 on the rear panel of the device. See the GROUP INPUTS (SDX-51xM-DX only) section on page 21 for more information.

NOTE: Contact closures 3 and 5 are not tied to specific inputs, and are provided for an auxiliary button press trigger event notification which can be recognized by a NetLinx Master for programming purposes.

Upgrading Firmware

Overview

The basic process of upgrading firmware on Solecis Digital Switchers involves downloading the latest firmware files from www.amx.com and using NetLinx Studio to transfer the files to a target switcher.

Use the OnLine Device tree in NetLinx Studio to view the firmware files currently loaded on the switcher. FIG. 38 shows an example OnLine Tree:

System 4565 Devices [10.] 00000 - NX-1200 Master (v1.2.299) 01122 - SDX-410-DX (v99.86.00) 01123 - SDX-510M-DX (v99.86.00) 01145 - SDX-810-DX (v99.86.00)

Programming

Overview

The chapter defines all programming commands available for the SDX Digital Switchers.

SEND\_COMMANDS

The commands listed in the following sections are for the switcher only. For generic NetLinx commands, see the NetLinx Integrated Switchers WebConsole and Programming Guide.

• The commands derive their input/output port addressing from the target D:P:S.
• INPUT ports range from 1-8 for Audio/Video. HDMI inputs are capable of carrying both digital audio and video signals.
• Input and Output functional distinctions are disambiguated from the overlapped port numbers by combining them with the command name.

Port Functionality Mapping

The following table lists the port functionality mapping for the audio/video ports on the Solecis Digital Switchers:

3. At the prompt ( > ), type the Telnet command and press Enter.

Telnet Username and Password

The following commands are used to set the Telnet username and password for a Telnet connection:

• Set Telnet Username
• Set Telnet Password

By default, both the username and password are blank (empty strings). Performing a factory reset on the device with the Pushbutton will return these values to that default.

• Username – Setting the Username will have no effect if the password remains blank (empty string). That is, defining the username alone will not result in Telnet prompting for a user login.
• Password – Setting the Password will cause Telnet to prompt for a user login, whether the username has been defined or not. If the username has been defined, this value must be entered. However, since the password can be set independently of the username, it's possible to have a password defined, but the username still at its default (blank, empty string). In this case do not enter anything for the username when prompted. Simply press Enter, which will then present the password prompt. Here, the defined password must be entered in order to successfully open the Telnet session.

Additional Notes

• Both the Telnet username and password are case-sensitive.
• Three consecutive, unsuccessful attempts to log in to Telnet will cause the Telnet window to close. Relaunching Telnet will again present the login prompt, with a fresh “batch” of login attempts.
• If a Telnet login fails because of an incorrect username, an "Invalid Password" message will appear (as opposed to an "Invalid Username" message).
• The username and password are saved after reboot or power cycle.
• The username and password are deleted/removed after a factory reset.

Setting a Telnet Username and Password

Perform these steps to set a Telnet username and password:

1. Establish a terminal connection via Telnet.

2. Type Set Telnet Username, and press Enter.

3. The program will prompt you to enter a new Telnet username; enter a username and press Enter.

4. The program will indicate that the username is being stored.

5. Type Set Telnet Password, and press Enter.

6. The program will prompt you to enter a password; press Enter twice to clear both the Telnet username and password.

7. Enter a password and press Enter.
8. The program will prompt you to re-enter the password; re-enter the password and press Enter.
9. The program will indicate that the password is being stored.

Telnet Commands

The Telnet commands listed in the table below can be sent directly to the switcher via a Telnet terminal session.

• The default Telnet port is 23. A value of 0 (zero) disables the Telnet server.
• Telnet is enabled by default.

In the terminal program, type Help or a question mark (?) and press Enter to access the Help Menu and display the terminal commands described in the table below.

SHOW VS100 STATS	When sent to the Solecis switcher, this command retrieves the DXLink quality information from the receiver (or switcher input) to which it is connected.

Master Connection Modes

The mode of communication used for connection to the Master is specified via the SET CONNECTION Telnet command (see page 53).

Connection mode setting options are AUTO, TCP URL, UDP URL, or NDP (default) as described:

• AUTO – This mode utilizes TCP communication. It looks for a matching System Number and attempts to come online with the first Master it sees with that System Number.
• TCP URL – TCP; the Master is specified via URL.
• UDP URL – UDP; the Master is specified via URL.
• NDP – UDP; this mode utilizes the NDP binding process to assign the switcher (the physical device) to a Master (or Virtual Master) via NetLinx Studio. Once bound, communications are conducted via UDP.

NOTE: In URL modes, the Master can use either an IP address or a DNS name.

Guidelines

UDP mode is recommended for the following types of installations:

• Small-to-medium residential and corporate installations on a single subnet
• Segmented control network installations (control network is a separate switching domain and subnet from other network equipment)
  • Installations with the total number of NetLinx / ICSNET devices on a single Master exceeding 128

TCP mode is recommended for installations where (a) the switching domain of the network is subject to "bursty" traffic or heavy streaming activity (>20 Mbps consumption by streaming) and where (b) the total number of NetLinx / ICSNET devices on a single Master is less than 128.

TCP vs. UDP

• TCP – Protocol has a built-in retry mechanism.
• UDP – Protocol does not have a built-in retry mechanism, but consumes fewer resources on the Master. AMX's UDP implementation of NetLinx employs a retry mechanism to provide the reliability of TCP with the resource efficiency of UDP.

URL vs. NDP vs. Auto

Determining which connection method to use for Master Connection Mode is essentially a matter of deciding what information the device should use to identify the correct Master to which you want to connect.

The default mode is NDP; the mode can be changed via the SET CONNECTION Telnet command (see page 53).

- URL – The device connects to the Master with the specified URL. The device must be configured with the URL of a specific Master via the SET CONNECTION Telnet command (see page 53).

- NDP – The device connects to the Master it's been bound to, which is based on the Master's MAC address. The binding is configured via NetLinx Studio. Once bound, the device must be unbound using either NetLinx Studio or the Telnet NDP UNBIND command before being re-bound to a different Master. Alternatively, NDP devices can be bound/unbound via options on the Master's Web Configuration pages (System > Manage NetLinx). For details, refer to the WebConsole & Programming Guide – NX-Series Controllers (System - Manage NetLinx section).

- Auto – The device connects to the first Master it finds with the specified System Number. The device must be configured with the desired system number via the SET CONNECTION Telnet command (see page 53). Use of this method requires that only one Master has any particular system number and is visible to the subnet. If this is the case, then Auto is the simplest choice. However, with Auto, you are not hard-bound to a particular Master. Therefore, if at some point in the future, another Master is configured with the same system number, the result is that the switcher could show up on that other Master.

Notes on Specific Telnet Clients

Telnet and terminal clients exhibit different behaviors in some situations. This section states some of the known anomalies.

Windows Client Programs

Anomalies occur when using a Windows® client if you are not typing standard ASCII characters (i.e., using the keypad and the Alt key to enter decimal codes). Most programs will allow you to enter specific decimal codes by holding Alt and using keypad numbers. For example, hold Alt, hit the keypad 1, then hit keypad 0, then release Alt. The standard line feed code is entered (decimal 10). Windows will perform an ANSI to OEM conversion on some codes entered this way because of the way Windows handles languages and code pages.

The following codes are known to be altered, but others may be affected depending on the computer's setup.

- Characters 15, 21, 22, and any characters above 127.

This affects both Windows Telnet and Terminal programs.

Linux Telnet Client

The Linux Telnet client has three anomalies that are known at this time:

- A null (\00) character is sent after a carriage return.

- If an "Alt 255" is entered, two of the "255" characters are sent (per the Telnet RAFT).

- If the code to return to Command mode is entered (Alt 29 which is ^]), the character is not sent, but the Telnet Command Mode is entered.

Appendix C - EDID Programming (SDX-51xM-DX only)

DGX Configuration Software Overview

IMPORTANT: Because signals routed through DXLink Transmitters normally produce a quality image, you will not need the information in this appendix unless the installation has special EDID requirements for VGA.

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 connectors on the SDX-51xM-DX, allowing for custom configuration of the EDID data that is stored on them.

NOTE: The remaining tabbed views in the software do not apply to the DXLink units. Scaling and HDCP settings can be applied via SEND_COMMANDs (see the NetLinx Programming of DXLink Transmitters and Receivers chapter in the DXLink Twisted Pair Transmitters/Receivers Instruction Manual for more information). If a DXLink Receiver is connected to an Enova DGX Output Board, DGX Configuration Software can be used via the switcher for scaling (see the Enova DGX 8/16/32/64 Instruction Manual).

DGX Configuration Software is available at www.amx.com (on the Multi-Format Transmitter's product page) and includes a standard Help file with detailed information.

NOTE: To upload a custom VGA EDID using DGX Configuration Software, DIP switch 4 on the SDX-51xM-DX must be set to OFF. After setting the DIP switch, you must reboot the switcher before using the DGX Configuration Software.

PC System Requirements for DGX Configuration Software

• Windows 7 and Windows XP Professional
- Minimum Hardware: 166 MHz, 128 MB RAM, 36 MB of free disk space*, 800x600 display, serial port, video card with dual outputs (see Caution below)
- Recommended Hardware: 2.0 GHz, 512 MB RAM*

* Installing the DGX Configuration Software requires 36 MB of disk space for the software installer. Once installed, the software requires 10 MB of disk space.

CAUTION: AMX strongly urges you to not 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.

General Notes for Working with DGX Configuration Software and the SDX-51xM-DX

When the SDX-51xM-DX is connected to a PC running DGX Configuration Software, the following applies:

• DGX Configuration Software displays the connected switcher only.
• File menu — Select Open File to load an .edid file to the program. Select Save to File to save an .edid file containing the currently displayed settings in the EDID Programmer view.
• Communication menu — Use to change the serial communication settings. This menu also includes the option to "Refresh Device Lists" which will refresh the device list in the EDID Programmer tab.
• Utilities menu — This menu does not apply to the DXLink Transmitters.
• Help menu — Access the Help file for the program, open a link for the Web Update option (to download updates for the program), and view current version information.
• Messages in the bottom pane of the DGX Configuration Software dialog box report status of operations. Messages can be copied* for technical support purposes.

* Right-click on a message to access a short-cut menu with options to Copy Selected, Copy All, or Clear. When copying multiple messages: either select consecutive items by holding down the Shift key and clicking the first and last item or select nonconsecutive items by holding down the Control key and clicking on each item.

EDID Programmer View

From the EDID Programmer view, EDID EEPROM chips for the HD-15 (VGA) connector on the switcher can be re-programmed if necessary.

NOTE: The EDID Programmer will not work in conjunction with the HDMI connector on the TX.

EDID Overview

EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is a data structure established by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) to enable plug-and-play support by enabling easy configuration of a computer's graphics subsystem based on the capabilities of the attached display device.

EDID information includes items such as the following:

• Manufacturer's name
- Product type
• Supported video resolutions and refresh rates
• Color space and filter chromaticity
- Detailed timings

When a computer is directly connected to a display device, it can use the display device's EDID information to determine an initial compatible video signal to send. With the computer's display controls, the user can modify this selection to another compatible signal based on the provided EDID information.

DXLink Equipment and EDID

In cases where the HD-15 (VGA) input on a switcher are used and a resolution incompatibility exists (or if the source device needs a specific resolution or a limited set of resolutions), the switchers have the ability to update the VGA EDID emulation file (by updating the EEPROM chip) which comes preloaded with an AMX VGA EDID set.

The AMX VGA EDID set consists of a number of common EDID settings. In most cases, the switcher can be used as is from the factory with no adjustments.

The DGX Configuration Software with EDID programming functionality has been provided for cases where a user defined VGA EDID set is desired.

The EDID Programmer view can be used for writing user defined VGA EDID data to the switcher's HD-15 input.

Reading and Saving EDID Data from a Switcher's HD-15 (VGA) Input Connector

The DGX Configuration Software reads the EDID data from the USER EDID 1 EEPROM location, regardless of the VIDIN_EDID setting.

IMPORTANT: Unless a custom EDID has been previously written to the input, attempting to read the EDID will result in a Read Error message.

The EDID data can be read to confirm the correct EDID has been programmed.

Reading and Saving EDID Data from a Switcher

1. On the PC, open the DGX Configuration Software and select the EDID Programmer tab.
2. Under Inputs/Outputs on the left, expand the device tree, and select the HD-15 input.
3. Click Read to read the VGA EDID information currently on the HD-15 input. The EDID data appears in the EDID read-only field on the right.

NOTE: In the EDID Programmer view, the Save to File option under the File menu can be used to save the EDID information as an .edid file. The saved file can be opened as a text file (from the File menu, select Open File) and edited or opened and written to an input (click the Write button).

Rear Error Message

A Read Error message will appear if the switcher has never been programmed with a valid/custom EDID or if the unit has been programmed with a corrupted EDID. A Read Error message will also appear when attempting to read the EDID after sending a FACTORYAV SEND_COMMAND, which re-initializes the VGA USER EDID 1 EEPROM and resets the VIDIN_EDID setting to ALL RESOLUTIONS (which is AMX_0500_003).

Writing EDID Data to a Switcher's HD-15 (VGA) Input Connector

The instructions that follow tell how to use the EDID Programmer view to write user defined VGA EDID information to the HD-15 input connector on a switcher. User-defined VGA EDIDs are currently available from technical support.

AMX EDID Library

A library of VGA EDID files are available at www.amx.com (search for EDID Library). This library provides EDID files that can be used with AMX products. A report is provided for each EDID file, which describes the EDID features in detail, in order to assist you in selecting the most appropriate EDID for your system needs.

• Check the Library to determine if one of the custom EDID files meets your needs. (The custom EDID files are variants of base/standard EDIDs.)
• DGX Configuration Software can be used to reprogram the EDID on the input port with one of the .edid files provided in the EDID Library.

Writing VGA EDID Data to a Switcher

1. Download the VGA EDID set provided by technical support.
2. On the PC, open the DGX Configuration Software and select the EDID Programmer tab.
3. Under Inputs/Outputs on the left, expand the device tree, and select the HD-15 input.
   From the File menu, select Open File to select the VGA .edid file that was downloaded in Step 1.
4. Click Write to write the VGA EDID information to the HD-15 input.

NOTE: You can confirm that the new VGA EDID data was written to the HD-15 input by selecting the HD-15 input and clicking on the Read button or by using the SEND_COMMAND ?VIDIN_EDID, which will return: VIDIN_EDID-USER EDID 1.

IMPORTANT: You can revert to the factory default EDID for the HD-15 input by using the SEND_COMMAND VIDIN_EDID-ALL RESOLUTIONS (i.e., AMX_0500_003).
