AMX EPICADGX288-VIO-MMF-S – Epica DGX 288 Multimode Fiber I/O Board (Simplex)

Product Overview

The AMX EPICADGX288-VIO-MMF-S is a simplex multimode fiber input/output board for the Epica DGX 288 modular matrix switcher, delivering uncompressed AV distribution over OM3 multimode fiber at distances up to 300 m. Each board provides 16 bi-directional connections per slot — a full 16x16 matrix — making it well-suited for large venue, enterprise, and government AV installations that require high-density fiber routing within a campus building or between closely spaced facilities. Compatible with AMX DXLink Multi-Format Simplex Transmitters, DXLink HDMI Simplex Receivers, and Enova DGX systems, the MMF-S board integrates into mixed-infrastructure deployments alongside single-mode fiber boards in the same Epica DGX 288 chassis.

Product Description

The EPICADGX288-VIO-MMF-S (FG1055-521) installs into the Epica DGX 288 Enclosure and provides 16 simplex multimode fiber connections per board — each port serving as both an input and an output — for a full 16x16 routing matrix per slot. The board supports OM3 50/125 mm multimode fiber at distances up to 984 ft. (300 m), making it the right choice for intra-building AV distribution within large commercial, government, or broadcast facilities. Up to 18 MMF-S or mixed boards (combined with SMF-S) can be installed in the Epica DGX 288 chassis for configurations up to 288x288. Uncompressed video with HDCP and embedded audio is transported over fiber with zero compression or latency, and audio support includes Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS, and multi-channel L-PCM. Compatible DXLink Fiber Receivers feature SmartScale Technology that automatically reads each display's EDID and adjusts the output resolution to match, eliminating signal incompatibilities in multi-display environments. Like the SMF-S board, the MMF-S can exchange signals with AMX Enova DGX systems using simplex fiber, allowing the Epica DGX 288 to serve as a central hub in multi-system AV infrastructures.

Key Features

• Full 16x16 Per Board: Each board provides 16 bi-directional simplex multimode fiber connections, each port functioning as both input and output in a full 16x16 matrix per slot.
• OM3 Multimode Fiber up to 300 m: Supports transmission over 50/125 mm OM3 multimode fiber at distances up to 984 ft. (300 m) — ideal for intra-building AV distribution.
• Uncompressed Video and Audio: Delivers pixel-perfect, zero-latency AV transport over fiber with no compression or signal loss.
• HDMI with HDCP Support: Full HDCP compliance for secure content distribution in commercial AV deployments.
• Multi-Format Audio: Supports Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS, and 2 CH through 8 CH L-PCM embedded in fiber.
• SmartScale Receiver Compatibility: Compatible DXLink Fiber Receivers automatically scale to each display's native EDID for seamless multi-display deployments.
• Mixed Fiber Board Support: Can be installed alongside EPICADGX288-VIO-SMF-S single-mode boards in the same Epica DGX 288 chassis for mixed-distance infrastructure.
• Enova DGX Interoperability: Exchanges signals with Enova DGX systems via simplex fiber for multi-system enterprise AV routing.

Typical Applications

• Government Command Centers: High-density intra-building AV distribution in secure facilities with multimode fiber infrastructure.
• Broadcast Studios: Uncompressed multimode fiber routing for live production, post-production, and multi-studio signal distribution.
• Enterprise AV Infrastructure: Intra-building AV signal routing for large corporate headquarters, data centers, and multi-floor facilities.
• Auditoriums and Large Venues: Multi-zone AV distribution within a large venue over multimode fiber to remote display positions.
• Training Rooms and Multi-Purpose Rooms: Centralized fiber matrix distribution within a campus building for flexible, high-density AV routing.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the MMF-S and SMF-S boards for the Epica DGX 288?

The MMF-S uses OM3 multimode fiber and supports distances up to 300 m — suitable for intra-building runs. The SMF-S uses single-mode fiber and supports distances up to 10 km for inter-building and campus-scale distribution. Both boards can be mixed in the same chassis.

How many MMF-S boards can be installed in a single Epica DGX 288 chassis?

Up to 18 boards can be installed in the Epica DGX 288 Enclosure. A full chassis with 18 MMF-S boards provides a 288x288 multimode fiber matrix. Mixed SMF-S and MMF-S boards are fully supported.

What transmitters and receivers are compatible with this board?

The EPICADGX288-VIO-MMF-S is compatible with AMX DXLink Multi-Format Simplex Transmitters and DXLink HDMI Simplex Receivers. Interoperability with Enova DGX simplex fiber systems is also supported.

Can this board interoperate with existing AMX Enova DGX installations?

Yes. The MMF-S board can receive and send signals from or to Enova DGX systems that use simplex fiber boards, making it viable for cross-system signal routing in larger AV infrastructures.
