tvONE 16x16 ModularMX Matrix
Congratulations on your purchase of the 16x16 ModularMX Matrix. Your complete satisfaction is very important to us.
The tvONE 16x16 ModularMX Matrix provides an all-in-one professional solution to route up to 16 DVI or DisplayPort sources to any 16 DVI outputs supporting
resolutions up to 1920 x 1200. The modular design of this 16x16 matrix provides the ultimate in flexibility by allowing the combination of different input and output cards
and the extension of inputs and outputs over CAT5-ELR or fiber. The front-panel LCD displays the current routing status and each source is accessible to any display
by using the front-panel push buttons, the RS-232 interface, or through IP Control (with built-in web server, Telnet, and UDP). Hot-swappable dual redundant power
supplies allow these matrixes to be used for applications in demanding 24/7 applications where enhanced reliability, ease of servicing and zero down-time are required.

Before reading this Quick-Start Guide, familiarize yourself with the rear panel of
the 16x16 ModularMX Matrix.
The 16x16 ModularMX Matrix can accommodate two input cards and two output
cards. Each card provides eight connectors, providing a total of 16 inputs and 16
outputs. The 16x16 ModularMX Matrix is available pre-configured with input and
output cards best suited for the needs of your application. We will cover each
configuration in the next section. First, we will identify the location of each input
and output card on the matrix.
Matrix Layout (all configuration options)
The bottom two expansion bays of the matrix accept only input cards.
The top two expansion bays of the matrix accept only output cards.
Each input and output bay is labeled by the letter “A” and “B”.
The input and output on each card is identified under each port.
Blue LEDs on each card indicate that the card is properly powered.
Consult the User Manual for additional information on the rear-panel layout.

Quick Start Guide

Although each 16x16 ModularMX Matrix is available pre-configured, both input and
output cards can be added or replaced to fit the needs of your application.
Each card can easily be removed and installed without using any special tools.
1. Power OFF the matrix and disconnect all cables from the card you are
planning to remove.
2. Turn the matrix around so the back of the unit is facing you.
3. Loosen the fastening screws on both sides of the card (or cover plate) to be
removed. Each card / cover plate has two fastening screws.
4. Grab the knobs on both sides of the card, between the thumb and index
finger, and gently pull to remove the card from the matrix (cover plates do
not have pull-knobs).
WARNING: Cards are sensitive to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
which can damage the card. Avoid touching the card contacts
or the components on the card. Always hold cards by the edges
or by the knobs on the front of the card. Never slide a card over
any surface. When installing/replacing cards, do not try to install
an input card in an output slot (or vice versa) and do not force
the cards into place. This will damage the matrix and void the
warranty.
STOP: Before installing or removing cards and to prevent the
risk of possible electrical shock, unplug both of the AC power
cords from the power supply(s) on the back of the matrix.

Installing Cards
1. Locate the metal track on either side of the expansion slot.
2. Carefully position the card between the upper and lower rail on each track
and slowly push the card forward.
3. Secure the card by hand-tightening the fastening screws. Do not overtighten
the screws. To prevent damage to the screws, do not use
pliers or other high-torque devices.
