OPERATION NOTES

READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR

OPERATING THE 16X16 DVI MATRIX

The 16x16 DVI Matrix does not support HDCP content.

Make sure that a DVI monitor is powered and connected to one of the DVI outputs on

the 16x16 DVI Matrix before applying power. By default, the Local EDID is read from

the connected monitor and is copied to all 16 DVI inputs once the Matrix has been

turned on. If a monitor is not detected by the Matrix at power-on, a default (internal)

EDID of 640x480 will be used. This functionality can be disabled using the Secure

Local EDID function using RS-232, Telnet, UDP, or the built-in Web interface.

There is no internal scaling in the 16x16 DVI Matrix. Each monitor attached to the

Matrix must be able to display the resolutions output by the source device(s). For

maximum compatibility it is recommended that only one common resolution be used

by each source device.

Advanced EDID features are accessible using RS-232, Telnet, UDP, or the built-in

Web interface.

Routing and EDID features can be managed using the built-in IP control features.

This matrix supports Dynamic EDID. See pages 17 and 44 for details.
