AMX EPICADGX288-VIO-SMF-S – Epica DGX 288 Single-Mode Fiber I/O Board (Simplex)
Product Overview
The AMX EPICADGX288-VIO-SMF-S is a simplex single-mode fiber input/output board for the Epica DGX 288 modular matrix switcher, enabling uncompressed AV signal distribution over single-mode fiber at distances up to 10 km. Each board provides 16 bi-directional connections — functioning as a full 16x16 matrix per slot — and is designed for large-scale commercial AV, government command center, and broadcast infrastructure deployments requiring long-distance, lossless fiber transport. The board is compatible with AMX DXLink Multi-Format Simplex Transmitters and DXLink HDMI Simplex Receivers, and interoperates with Enova DGX systems using simplex fiber boards for cross-system signal routing.
Product Description
The EPICADGX288-VIO-SMF-S (FG1055-520) installs into the Epica DGX 288 Enclosure and delivers a full 16x16 matrix of single-mode fiber connections per board, with each port serving as both an input and an output. Up to 18 boards can be installed in a single Epica DGX 288 chassis, enabling configurations up to a full 288x288 matrix. Single-mode fiber (9/125 mm) supports transmission distances up to 6.21 miles (10 km), making this board ideal for campus-wide AV distribution, inter-building signal routing, and large venue infrastructure. The board supports HDMI with HDCP and embedded audio, with audio format compatibility covering Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS, and up to 8-channel L-PCM. SmartScale Technology on compatible DXLink Fiber Receivers automatically scales output resolution to each display's native EDID, ensuring compatibility across diverse display environments. Simplex fiber boards can also exchange signals with AMX Enova DGX systems, making the Epica DGX 288 a viable central distribution hub in multi-system enterprise or broadcast AV installations.
