DVIGear DVI-4541b - Manual (Page 7)

4 .1 Connecting the Inputs to the Switcher
Connect HDMI compliant source device(s) to the ports marked “HDMI IN”. Make
certain that the HDMI cables are securely plugged into the source devices as well
as the switcher. Always use high quality HDMI cables for best results.
4 .2 Connecting the Output to a Destination Device
Using a high quality HDMI cable, connect the port marked “HDMI OUT” to an
HDMI compliant display device or other downstream sink. Make certain that the
HDMI cables are securely plugged into the switcher and display.
Note: Proper operation of this product requires the use of high quality cables. DVIGear’s SHR™
HDMI cables provide low-loss, high-bandwidth signal handling and are the recommended
cables for use with all HDMI products. The cable distance specifications for this product
cannot be guaranteed unless DVIGear SHR™ cables are used throughout the system.
4 .3 Using the Positive Cable Securing Feature
If HDMI cables with locking type connectors are to be installed, an added step is
necessary. First, remove the Phillips head screws from the rear of the unit just
above the HDMI connectors and replace them with the Hex Nut Screws that came
with the switcher. Next, fix these screws into the threaded holes vacated by the
Phillips head screws. The Hex Nut provides a threaded receptacle for the screw
that is part of the locking HDMI connector on the cable. Finally, plug in the cable’s
locking HDMI connector and secure it to the unit with its integral screw. This
fastens the HDMI cable to the unit and prevents accidental removal.
4 .4 Connecting the Power
These units are shipped with an External AC Power Adapter that accepts input
voltages ranging from 100-240 VAC / 50-60Hz and provides a +5 VDC output with
2.0A maximum current. Connect the DC output cable from the supplied AC
Power Adapter to the locking receptacle on the rear panel. Take care to insert the
plug, then twist it a quarter turn in the clockwise direction for a secure fit. Next
plug the Power Adapter into an AC receptacle. The unit will start functioning as
soon as the power switch on the front panel is pressed and the LED to the left of
the power switch should be illuminated.
4 .5 Optional Rack Mount Kit
Using the optional DVI-4500-RM Rack Mount Kit, these HDMI Switchers can be
mounted in a standard 19” equipment rack. This kit allows two switchers to be
positioned side-by-side on a single 1U rack shelf.
