Description
AMX EPICADGX288-ENC Epica DGX 288 Enclosure
The Epica DGX 288 is a professional-grade fiber optic matrix routing system engineered for large-scale AV installations demanding uncompressed video and embedded audio distribution. This 17 rack unit enclosure handles the density and performance requirements of broadcast, live event, and high-end commercial environments, delivering transparent signal integrity across extended fiber runs.
Matrix Capacity & Connectivity
Supports up to 288×288 matrix configurations with field-swappable modular fiber boards offering 16 connections per board, enabling custom scaling based on installation requirements. LC fiber module connectors integrate both input and output on the same connector for streamlined panel layouts and reduced physical footprint.
Signal Performance & Reliability
Delivers 10 Gbps bandwidth with support for uncompressed video, HDMI with HDCP, and embedded audio over fiber, accommodating both single mode and multimode fiber (OM3 50/125 mm up to 984 ft / 300 m). The robust design prioritizes dependable operation in touring and permanent installations—field-serviceable fiber modules, fan kits, CPU, and power supplies minimize downtime during setup and extended runs, while the enhanced cooling system with dedicated fan tray handles the thermal demands of busy venues and multiple simultaneous feeds.
