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.

Connections
MOD-16416-DVI
1. Connect up to 16 DVI sources to the DVI inputs.
2. Connect up to 16 DVI displays to the DVI outputs using DVI cables.
3. Connect both AC power cords from the matrix to available electrical outlets.
Connecting both AC power cords will provide power redundancy should
one of the power supplies fail. It is recommended to connect each AC power
cord to separate circuits.
1. Connect up to 16 DVI sources the DVI inputs.
2. Connect a CAT-5e cable (or better), up to 330 feet (100 meters) from each
ELR-POL port on the Output card to each of the included ELR-POL Receiver
units, as shown below.
Once the matrix is powered, the Link indicators will glow bright green to
indicate a solid link between the output card and the Receiver unit.
The POL indicators will glow bright amber to indicate that the Receiver unit
is being powered.

3. Connect a DVI cable from the DVI Out port on the ELR-POL Receiver unit to
a DVI display.
4. Connect both AC power cords from the matrix to available electrical outlets.
Connecting both AC power cords will provide redundancy should one of
the power supplies fail. It is recommended to connect each power cord to
electrical outlets on two separate circuits.
Power to the Receiver unit is delivered from the power supply in the matrix
over the CAT-5e cable using Power Over Line (POL) technology.
The Link indicator will glow bright green to indicate a solid connection
between the matrix and the Receiver unit. The Power indicator will glow
bright blue to indicate that the Receiver unit is being powered.
If either of these LED indicators are off, inspect the CAT-5 cable.
