DDC Learning
DDC provides plug-and-play capability to your displays. When you plug a display into your
computer, the DDC table in the display tells the computer the optimal resolution to use. In
order to preserve this plug-and-play capability, we have integrated DDC learning into all of
our DVI Solutions.
To enter CHANGE DDC mode, press the UP button when MENU/CHANGE DDC is shown. Use
the dial to cycle through the DDC learning modes. To select a mode, press and hold the UP
button for three seconds. The currently selected DDC Mode will be indicated by a letter in
parenthesis (Pfor PC, Mfor Mac, and Sfor Screen). To exit the CHANGE DDC menu, press the
down button.
Switching Between Ports
There are four ways to switch between inputs on the DVR16X16: via the front panel buttons,
RS-232 connection, IR remote control (optional), or TCP/IP (optional).
Front Panel Control
During normal operation, you will see a list of ports on the front panel display. The display will
cycle between the status of ports 1-8 and 9-16, alternating every ten seconds.
“Change to Mac” indicates Mac Mode and selects the best display mode to
accommodate a Mac. This mode is indicated by (M).
“Change to PC” indicates Personal Computer Mode and automatically selects the
standard display characteristics of a PC display, which typically works for any PC/Display
combination. This mode is indicated by (P).
MENU Options
To access the other features of the DVR16X16, press and hold both the up and down buttons
simultaneously for 3 seconds to bring up the MENU screen. Use the dial to choose from the
following list of options:
To exit the port editing mode and return to the port selection mode, press the DOWN button.
To exit the port selection mode, press the DOWN button.
When selected, press the UP button to enter the editing mode for that port. When in editing
mode the cursor will change to an underline. Use the dial to select the desired input port.
To switch ports using the front panel, press and hold the UP button for one second to
enter port selection mode. A block cursor will appear over the rst input port (1). Use
the dial to select the port you would like to change.
“Learn EDID from Monitor” indicates Screen Mode, which learns the type of display
connected to the “OUT” port. This mode is indicated by (S).

Software Installation & Operation
Advanced Conguration: If you have more than one Router installed you will want to check this box.
Router Type: Select SmartNet-X. This is not the actual model of the router but communication will still function
properly if this is selected.
A/V Split: Check this box if you need to route audio and video independently, regardless from which source they
originated from. Leave unchecked if you want audio and video signals from the same input to remain together.
For example, if you wanted to route dierent video feeds to dierent locations but wanted all of them to have the same
audio, you should check the box.
Find the Installation CD that came with your DVR16x16 unit. This CD has the SmartControl 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:
SmartControl Installer.exe
SmartControl Help File
DVR 16X16 Manual in PDF format
Double click SmartControl.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>SmartControl. There you should see a help le, the
SmartControl launcher as well as a shortcut to uninstall SmartControl. Click on SmartControl in order to launch the
software.
When the software starts
you will see a screen like this.
Inputs/Outputs: Enter the number of Inputs/Outputs your DVR 16x16 has. For now we will assume that there are 16
inputs and 16 outputs.
Com Port: Select the appropriate COM port that your computer is using to access the router.
Router Timeout: By default this is 0 meaning the computer acknowledges commands almost instantly. Sometimes a
computer takes longer to respond. This setting should be left at 0. If you need to change it, it should be no higher than
0.2.
After you have entered in the necessary information click OK.
This will now take you to the Main Routing Window where you can route the dierent video connections.
RS-232 Control
To control the functions of the DVR16X16 using an RS-232 connection, use a male-to-female serial cable to
connect a computer to the DVR16X16’s RS-232 port. Use Hyperterminal to create a terminal connection to the
DVR16X16, making sure to use the standard communication mode of 9600bps, 8, N, 1.
(NOTE: all commands must be uppercase)
• To modify the crosspoints (input/output port mapping), use the command format “//FxxMxxIxx”
(Fxx is the frame number (for more than one switch), Mxx is the monitor number, and Ixx is the Input
number.)
• EXAMPLE: to map Input 01 to Monitor 01 on Switch 01, send “//F01M01I01 [ENTER]”
• EXAMPLE: to map Input 12 to Monitor 09 on Switch 04, send “//F04M09I12 [ENTER]”
• To toggle the hotplug pin (used to wake the display from standby), use the command format “//FxxHxxIxx”
• EXAMPLE: to toggle the hotplug pin for Input 01, Monitor 01 on Switch 01, send “//F01H01I01 [ENTER]”
• EXAMPLE: to toggle the hotplug pin for Input 12, Monitor 09 on Switch 04, send “//F04H09I12 [ENTER]”
• To display the current crosspoint status, send“//FxxU [ENTER]”
• To reboot the DVR16X16, send“//BOOT [ENTER]”
• To display the current rmware version number, send “//XXXX [ENTER]”
• To reset the DVR16X16 to factory defaults, send“//RESET [ENTER]”
(the DVR16X16 must be power cycled to complete the reset command)
TCP/IP Control (optional)
To control the DVR16X16 remotely via the internet, connect an SMTCP
controller (optional accessory) to the RS-232 port of the DVR16X16. For
more information about the SMTCP controller, please visit our website
at www.smartavi.com.
When using the SRC-2A infrared remote control:
• To create a crosspoint, use the keypad to enter the number (two digit) of the
desired Monitor port, press the ENTER button, then enter the desired Input port
and press ENTER.
IR Control (optional)
To switch ports using an infrared remote control (optional accessory), connect an
SM-EYE (optional accessory) to the DVR16X16 box and the unit will auto-detect
the infrared connection. Once the connection is made, you may use the IR remote
to cycle through the available ports. RG B

Macros: This section of the window is used to save and playback macros. Macros are used to store a set
sequence of routes.
To record a macro:
1. Click on the Record button (last button shown above). A blinking “recording” message below this button
will be displayed to indicate that all routes are being recorded.
2. Select the desired cross points. (See Matrix Routing for details on making these routes.) 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 nished, 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 scrollbar to bring any of these
into view.
6. The macros are automatically saved in the current conguration le. They are also saved when you select
the File/Save Conguration... menu.
To save macros in a separate le for a special purpose, select the File/Save, Macros, menu.
Software Installation & Operation (Continued) The Main Routing Window enables you to control the router(s) connections by means of the matrix panel,
the button panel, or with pre-recorded routes called macros.
Matrix 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 dierent outputs, but each output can only have a single input at any one
time. So you can have several connections horizontally but not vertically.
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.
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.
On this screen you will notice the input buttons running down the left side while the output buttons run
across the top. They are each labeled 1 through 16.
Note: The three small colored buttons at the lower right labeled ALL, VIDEO are not available if AV Split was
not checked when you congured your router.
