INTRODUCTION
2 ULTRAMATRIX AV DVI INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONS MANUAL
Introduction
Thank you for choosing Rose Electronics®UltraMatrix AV™ DVI for your DVI video switching requirements.
The UltraMatrix AV DVI is designed especially for control rooms, video presentations, security centers, video
wall displays, and many other digital media applications.
The ease of switching video sources makes the UltraMatrix AV DVI a versatile and flexible addition to your
system. Up to 16 video sources can be switched to any selected output port. The video switching can be
controlled by the front panel, the RS232 input using a PC Windows based software, through a web browser (on
some models) or serial commands sent to the RS232 port.
The UltraMatrix AV DVI supports resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 for high quality imagery. Repetitive switching
sequences can be recorded and saved in 1 of 50 macros for playback at any time.
The access software makes switching the selected input to an output fast and easy. Just click on the input
source and then the output destination and the video is instantly switched.
Installation consists of two procedures:
1. Connecting the video sources and destination monitors to the unit
2. Installing the access software for controlling the UltraMatrix AV DVI.
Each video source is connected to one of the sixteen video in, DVI-I connectors using a DVIM to DVIM cable

8 ULTRAMATRIX AV DVI INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONS MANUAL
Using the RoseControl Software
Find the Installation CD that came with your UltraMatrix AV DVI unit. This CD has the RoseControl software
that you will need in order to control the unit using a computer.
Insert the CD into your CD-ROM. On the CD you should see:
RoseControl_Installer.exe
RoseControl Help File
UltraMatrix AV DVI Manual in PDF format
Double click RoseControl_Installer.exe in order to initiate software installation. Click Install. After installation
has completed, click CLOSE.
In order to use the software, click on the START button>Programs>RoseControl. There you should see
a help file, the RoseControl launcher as well as a shortcut to uninstall RoseControl. Click on
RoseControl in order to launch the software.
When the software starts you will see a screen like this (UltraMatrix AV DVI 16X16 Shown):
Figure 7. RoseControl Configuration Screen

9 ULTRAMATRIX AV DVI INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONS MANUAL
Router Type: Select “Matrix DVI 16x16”
Inputs/Outputs: Enter the number of Inputs/Outputs for your UMAV DVI 16x16.
Com Port: Select the appropriate com port that your computer is using to access the router.
Router Time out: By default this is 0.2, meaning the computer acknowledges commands almost instantly.
After you have entered the necessary information, click OK. This will now take you to the Main Routing
Window where you can route the different video/ audio connections.
Figure 8. Main Routing Window
On this screen you will notice the input buttons running down the left side while the output buttons run across
the top. They are labeled 1 through 16.
The Main Routing Window enables you to control the router’s connections by means of the crosspoint panel,
the buttons, or with pre-recorded routes called macros.

10 ULTRAMATRIX AV DVI INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONS MANUAL
Crosspoint Panel: This is probably the simplest way to route the connections. Simply click on the cross point
itself. The input on the left will then be routed to the output above.
Note: Inputs can be routed to several different outputs, but each output can only have a single input at any one
time. So you can have several connections horizontally but not vertically.
Figure 9. Routing Window, Modified Connections

11 ULTRAMATRIX AV DVI INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONS MANUAL
The Button Panel: These are the numbered buttons across the top and left sides. Click an output button on
the top, and then click an input button on the left.
Options for using the Button Panel:
Output Options: To select multiple outputs next to each other, click on one output, then hold the shift key
down and click the last output. When the input is clicked, it is routed to all selected outputs. To select
multiple outputs individually, hold the control key down and click on any number of outputs. When the input
is clicked, it is routed to all selected outputs.
Input Options: To route an input to all the outputs at once, hold the control key down and click on an input.
To leave the outputs selected after the route is made, hold the shift key down and click on an input.
Macros: This section of the window is used to save and play back macros. Macros store a set sequence of
routes.
To record a macro:
1. Click on the Record button (last button shown). A blinking “recording” message below this button will be
displayed to indicate that all routes are being recorded.
2. Select the desired crosspoints. There is no limit on the number of routes you may record.
3. If you click a macro button while in the record mode, the macro will be executed, and these routes will be
added to the recording. This makes it possible to combine the routes of two or more macros into one bigger
macro.
4. When finished, click the “Save Macro” button. You will be instructed to then click on one of the macro
buttons. Doing this will save the recorded routes to that button. To cancel saving the macro, click the
“Cancel Save” button.
5. To play back a macro, simply click on one of the 50 macro buttons. Use the scroll bar to bring any of these
into view.
6. The macros are automatically saved in the current configuration file. They are also saved when you select
the File/Save Configuration... menu. To save macros in a separate file for a special purpose, select the
File/Save Macros...menu.

Appendix A – Setting up the IP address on the UMA-16Dx16D/RCI
The UMA-16Dx16D/RCI model has an embedded network card. This is used to set the IP address of the unit. Once the IP
address has been set, the video switching can be accomplished through any web browser. The procedure to set the initial
IP address for the unit is detailed below.
The UMA-16Dx16D/RCI comes pre-configured with an IP address of 192.168.1.30 and IP network mask of
255.255.255.0. To connect to it through a network cable, the computer that is being used to configure the IP address of
the unit should be on the same network.
1. Connect the unit’s RJ45 port to a computer configured with an Ethernet card and Window’s operating system (XP
or Vista). Use a network cable to connect the computer to unit.
Figure 10. Connecting the Network Cable
2. Access the control panel, network tab on the computer being used to configure the unit and change the existing
IP address to 192.168.1.25 and the IP network mask to 255.255.255.0. This change creates a compatible
standalone network between the unit and the computer.
3. From the computer used to configure the unit, start a web browser and enter the IP address 192.168.1.30 (unit’s
default IP address) as the URL.
4. The unit will present the login screen as shown.
Figure 11. RoseControlIP Login screen
The default User ID is Admin and the default Password is Pass. The User ID and Password are case-sensitive.
Enter the User ID and Password and click the button to proceed to the next page.
