The tvONE 32x32 Modular Matrix
Congratulations on your purchase of the 32x32 Modular Matrix. Your complete satisfaction is very important to us.
The tvONE 32x32 Modular Matrix provides an all-in-one professional solution to route up to 32 mixed sources to any 32 outputs supporting resolutions up to 1920 x
1200. The modular design of this large-scale matrix provides the ultimate in flexibility by allowing the use of any combination of DVI, DisplayPort, ELR, and 1FO output
cards in any of its four output slots. This feature allows the tvONE 32x32 Modular Matrix to function as both a Matrix and as an Extender. The front-panel LCD displays
the current routing status and each mixed source is accessible to any display by using the front-panel push buttons, or via the RS-232 interface, or through IP Control
(built-in Web server and Telnet). Hot-swappable, dual redundant power supplies allow these matrixes to be used for applications in demanding environments where
enhanced reliability, 24/7 ease of servicing, and zero down-time are required.
Quick Start Guide

www.tvone.com

Before reading this Quick-Start Guide, familiarize yourself with the rear panel of
the 32x32 Modular Matrix.
The 32x32 Modular Matrix can accommodate up to four output cards and four
input cards. Each card provides eight connectors, providing up to 32 inputs and
32 outputs. The 32x32 Modular Matrix is sold pre-configured with a combination
of 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-four expansion bays of the matrix only accept input cards.
The top-four expansion bays only accept output cards. Each expansion bay on the
matrix is identified with a letter: A, B, C, and D, from top to bottom (see opposite
page).
The inputs and outputs are numbered on each card, from left-to-right.
Blue LEDs on each card indicate that the card is properly powered.
Consult the User Manual for additional information on the rear-panel layout.
1
NOTE: When a card is not installed, it is recommended that
a cover plate be installed over the expansion bay to prevent
dust and other foreign particles from entering the matrix.

Although each 32x32 Modular Matrix is sold pre-configured, both input and output
cards can be removed or added to fit the needs of the application.
Each card can easily be removed and installed without using any special tools.
1. Power OFF the matrix.
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 install an
input card in an output slot (or vice versa).
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 the AC power cord from
the power supply(s) on the back of the matrix.

Installing Cards
1. Locate the metal track on either side of the expansion bay.
2. Carefully position the card between the upper and lower rail on each track
and slowly push the card forward.
3. Position either hand on both sides of the matrix and firmly push the card
with both thumbs until it snaps in place.
4. 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.
