V3 Rear

The top power-plug is 230V and is intend-
ed for use within the EU or countries where
230V is the standard. Please check all volt-
ages and inputs before proceeding with
powering on the unit.
The boom power-plug is 115V and is in-
tended for the United States or countries
where 110-115V is the standard. Please
check all voltages and inputs before pro-
ceeding with powering on the unit.

There are mulple ways to control the HDR-16x16 Plus V3: via the front panel, via RS-232 using the
SmartControl soware, via RS-232 commands (with AMX, Crestron), and with a TCP-IP module.
FRONT PANEL CONTROL
Input and output are relave to the HDR-16x16 Plus V3. Output refers to displays or monitors. Input re-
fers to video sources such as DVD players or computers.
During normal operaon, you will see a list of ports on the front panel display. See Figure 6-2.
DEFAULT DISPLAY HDR-16x16 Plus V3
Display Input Status: This displays the status of the inputs. If no input is present, the display will read
NONE.
To select INPUT/OUTPUT for display: Press the desired number into the Out Select row; for example
Monitor 1 will be “01”; Once you have selected the output, enter the desired input from the In Select row
(boom row), then press TAKE to conrm.
PANEL LOCK: This mode prevents any buon commands from being entered while the PANEL LOCK is
acve. Press the PANEL LOCK buon again to disable the LOCK.

Before you start:
Controlling a Smart-AVI device via RS-232 requires an RS-232 card installed on your computer or a USB
to RS-232 adapter. Below are instrucons on how to create an RS-232 connecon between a PC and the
Smart-AVI device.
Use terminal client soware such as the PuTTY to connect to the Smart-AVI device. Make sure to use
communicaon sengs 9600 bps, N, 8, 1, No ow control.
Check the device and your PC to determine if you need a male to male or a male to female cable and how
long it needs to be. The Smart-AVI device requires a straight through cable. You can use a Null Modem
Adapter to convert a crossed cable to a straight through cable. Examples of crossed and straight thorough
cable pin-outs are shown below. The standard maximum length for an RS-232 cable is 50 feet. Call our
Smart-AVI Support Engineer if you require more informaon.
ESTABLISHING AN RS-232 CONNECTION
Establish a connecon to the Smart-AVI device:
1. Connect an RS-232 cable to the RS-232 connec-
tor on the PC.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the RS-232
port of the Smart-AVI device.
3. Use Windows Control Panel / Device Manager to
idenfy the Com port number. See instrucons and
Figure 9-2 below.
4. Power on the device.
If you are using a USB to COM port adapter on a
Windows PC and need to idenfy the COM port
used, do the following:
1. Click on the start buon.
2. Click on Control Panel.
3. Click on Device Manager.
4. Click on the arrow next to Ports (COM & LPT).
You should see the name of your adapter and the
COM port number in use.

RS-232: Controlling the HDR-16x16 Plus V3 has never been simpler with SmartControl soware. With
SmartControl, you can assign a unique name to each port on the HDR-16x16 Plus V3, as well as each
display, customizing projects to meet your needs. Although all the funcons of the matrix are available
locally on the front panel of the HDR-16x16 Plus V3, using SmartControl allows for customizaon of all
the matrix funcons.
• Download the Smart Control Pro soware from the Smart-AVI website. www.smartavi.com
• Double click SmartControlPro-v5-0-03_Installer.exe in order to iniate soware installaon.
• Click Install. Aer installaon has completed, click CLOSE.
• In order to use the soware, click on the START buon>Programs>SmartControl Pro.
• There you should see a help le, the SmartControl Pro launcher as well as a shortcut to uninstall
SmartControl Pro.
Click on SmartControl Pro in order to launch the soware. When the soware starts you will see a
screen like this:

Advanced Conguraon:
If you have more than one
Router installed you will
want to check this box.
Router Type:
Select HDR-16x16 Plus V3
Inputs/Outputs:
Enter the number of Inputs/Outputs
your HDR-16x16 Plus V3 has.
The HDR-16x16 Plus V3 can have up
to 16 inputs and 16 outputs.
Com Port:
Select the appropriate com port that your computer is using to access the router.
To nd the com port number that your computer is using click on the Start Menu. Right click on computer.
Click on Properes. Click on Device Manager. Click on the symbol next to Ports (COM & LPT). Your com
port number should be listed here.
Router Time out:
This eld is set to 0 by default, meaning the computer acknowledges commands almost instantly. Some-
mes a computer takes longer to respond. This seng should be le at 0. If you need to change it, it
should be no higher than 0.2.
Aer you have entered in the necessary informaon click OK. This will now take you to the Main Roung
Window where you can route the dierent video/audio connecons.

using the smartcontrol software
Main Roung Window
The Main Roung Window enables you to control the router(s) connecons by means of the Crosspoint
panel, the buon panel, or with pre-recorded routes called macros.
Crosspoint Panel: This is the simplest way to route the connecons. Simply click on the cross point itself.
The input on the le will then be routed to the output above.
Note: Inputs can be routed to several dierent outputs, but each output can only have a single input.
On the screen shown in gure 11-1 the input buons run down the le side and the output buons run
across the top. They’re each labeled 1 through 16. This conguraon directs video from source 1 to be
displayed on all 16 displays

using the smartcontrol software (continued)
The Buon Panel:
Output Opons:
To select mulple outputs, in the row for any input or source, click the buon under the desired outputs
or displays.
Input Opons:
To route an input to all the outputs at once, hold the control key down and click on an input.
Macros: This secon 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 buon (last buon shown). A blinking “recording” message below this buon 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. If you click a
macro buon 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.
3. When nished, click the “Save Macro” buon. You will be instructed to then click on one of the macro
buons. Doing this will save the recorded routes to that buon. To cancel saving the macro, click the
“Cancel Save” buon.
4. To play back a macro, simply click on one of the 50 macro buons. Use the scroll bar to bring any of
these into view.
The macros are automacally saved in the current conguraon le. They are also saved when you select
the File/Save Conguraon... menu.
To save macros in a separate le for a special purpose, select the File/Save Macros...menu.

To enable TCP-IP control, connect an ethernet cable to the HDR-16X16-Plus ethernet port. By default,
the HDR-16X16-Plus will connect to the network using DHCP.

To switch an input for an output, select the desired input to the right of the desired output.
To control the HDR-16X16 remotely via the internet,
connect an SMTCP controller (oponal accessory) to
the RS-232 port. The SMTCP-2 is an RS-232 control
module that allows most SmartAVI switching matrixes
to be controlled remotely via HTTP or TELNET. Man-
age the switching funcons of your matrix with ease
from anywhere in the world. With the SMTCP-2 web
interface via HTTP, conguring your matrix switch is
simple. Users can save up to 10 preset input/output
conguraons for easy access. TELNET access pro-
vides transparent command control of your matrix,
perfect for use with automated third-party control
soware.

Sending Commands WITHOUT CHECKSUM
1) To set a video crosspoint:
\\FxxMyyIzz<CR>
e.g. to set video input 3 to output 12 on a router with frame address “0”
send the command: \\F00M12I03<CR>
5) To query crosspoints from PC:
\\FxxU<CR>
• If all outputs are connected to input 1 then a 4x4 Matrix will respond with
<0x80><0x80><0x80><0x80><CR>
• The router will send back one byte for each output and the string ends with a <CR>. The
rst byte sent is
Output #1. In the example above, since there are 5 bytes total, we know that there are 4
outputs.
• To calculate the input number, the router sends the input number with the 7th bit set.
0x80 = “1000 0000” input 0
0x81 = “1000 0001” input 1
…
0x8F = “1000 1111” input 15
Using TCP/IP Control
To connect to the HDR-16x16 Plus V3 using HTTP or Telnet you need an Ethernet / RS-232 server or adapter.
