The AMX Story
AMX has long been recognized as one of the foundational names in professional AV control and automation. Part of the Harman family of professional brands, AMX built its reputation designing centralized control systems that let operators manage complex AV environments — switching sources, routing signals, and automating room behavior — from a single interface. That philosophy runs through everything the brand produces, from touchpanel controllers and keypads to the backbone switching and distribution hardware behind large-scale installs.
Over the decades, AMX has expanded its portfolio to encompass high-bandwidth video matrix switching, networked AV over IP, and the physical infrastructure — enclosures, cabling modules, and power solutions — that ties a system together. The result is an end-to-end ecosystem trusted in corporate, government, education, broadcast, and live-production environments worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of facilities is AMX gear designed for?
AMX products are engineered for professional AV installations across a wide range of environments: corporate conference rooms, broadcast facilities, live event production venues, government and education facilities, and houses of worship. The product line scales from small single-room control setups to large multi-zone, multi-source matrix switching deployments.
What is the Enova DGX platform and who needs it?
The Enova DGX is AMX's large-scale modular matrix switching enclosure platform. It is designed for installations that need to route many video and audio signals — at resolutions up to 4K60 with HDR and HDCP 2.2 — across a facility simultaneously. Broadcast control rooms, large venues, and university AV systems are typical applications.
Does AMX support networked AV-over-IP standards like Dante and AES67?
Yes. AMX integrates support for Dante and AES67 networked audio protocols, allowing audio signals to be routed and distributed over standard Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure alongside video and control data. This makes AMX hardware a strong fit for modern facilities moving away from dedicated analog or point-to-point AV cabling.
What is the Hydraport system and where is it used?
Hydraport is AMX's modular desktop connectivity platform. It uses hot-swappable modules — including USB-C power delivery modules, USB-C to HDMI cable modules, and US power outlets — recessed into tables or workstations so presenters and operators can quickly connect laptops and devices. It is common in conference rooms, training facilities, and production desks.
Do AMX control systems require professional programming to set up?
Most AMX control systems are designed to be configured and programmed by trained AV integrators or system designers. The platform offers deep customization through its development environment, which is part of what makes it a preferred choice for complex, customized installs. Power supplies, keypads, and infrastructure accessories can be deployed by experienced AV technicians following AMX documentation.
