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.
