tuner to share one DVI monitor using DVI-I or DVI-D single-link connectors. The DVI interface technology implements digital signal
transmission over the cable to eliminate noise and reduce undesired distortion.

INSTALLATION
The VIDMUX is a Plug-and-Play device with no special configuration settings and easy installation steps:
1. Before connecting the VIDMUX to the video sources, make sure the video sources and the monitor are turned OFF.
WARNING! Damage may occur to the CPU if power is not disconnected before connecting or disconnecting
cables.
2. Connect the monitor to the DVI female port labeled “MONITOR” on the rear panel of the VIDMUX using a male-to-male DVI-I
cable.
Note: Some monitors need to have their video input type set manually. In this case, select “Digital DVI” as the input
type.
3. Connect the video sources to their corresponding DVI ports labeled “VIDEO 1" and/or "VIDEO 2" on the rear panel of the
VIDMUX using male-to-male DVI-I cables.

4. Plug the 5VDC AC adapter into the power jack on the rear panel.
5. Power up the VIDMUX first.
6. Power up the monitor.
7. Power up one or both of the video sources.
Note: If one or both of the video sources is a PC, make sure the LED associated with that source is illuminated while the
PC boots up. Otherwise the PC may not properly initialize with the connected monitor. See OPERATION below.
OPERATION
Press the input select buttons to switch between video sources. The LED above each button will illuminate to indicate which
source is connected to the monitor. Only one source can be connected at a time.
Note: While booting up a PC, it is recommended that the monitor be connected to the PC (corresponding LED should be
illuminated) in order for the PC to properly initialize with the connected monitor.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If the VIDMUX is not working properly, please look for a solution in the list below:
PROBLEM: No video at all
SOLUTION: Check cable connections on each video source, monitor and the VIDMUX. After reconnecting, if a CPU is the
video source, the CPU may need to be re-booted in order to sense the monitor connection.
PROBLEM: No video on one port
SOLUTION: Check cable connections on that port. Power cycle the corresponding video source while that port is connected
(the Input Select LED for that port should be illuminated)
PROBLEM: Some artifacts in the picture
SOLUTION: Check for any loose connection between cable and connectors. If loose, it may be necessary to reboot the CPU
to achieve a clear image.
If a solution was not found in the list above, answers may be found in the Frequently Ask Questions (FAQs) section of our
website at http://www.networktechinc.com or call us directly at [phone] (800-RGB-TECH) or [phone] and we will be
