IMPORTANT OPERATING NOTES
READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERATING
THE 32X32 MODULARMX
• There is no internal scaling in the 32x32 ModularMX. All of the attached monitors
must be able to display the output resolutions of the source devices. For maximum
compatibility it is recommended that only one compatible/common resolution be used
by all of the source devices.
• Routing features can be accessed using the serial control interface or via Telnet.
See page 37 - 74 for more information.
• The 32x32 ModularMX has several The tvONE 32x32 ModularMX provides several

The tvONE 32x32 ModularMX
The tvONE 32x32 ModularMX provides an all-in-one professional-grade solution to route
up to 32 DVI sources to up to 32 DVI displays with resolutions up to 1920 x 1200. The
modulardesignofthismatrixprovidestheultimateinexibilitybyallowingtheuseofany
combination of DVI, ELR, or 1FO output modules in any of its four output slots. This feature
allows the tvONE 32x32 ModularMX to function as both a Matrix and as an Extender. The
front-panel LCD displays the current routing status and each DVI source is accessible to
any display by using the front-panel push buttons, 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 applications where enhanced
reliability, ease of servicing and zero down-time are required.
How It Works
Connect up to 32 DVI source devices using DVI cables to the inputs on the tvONE
ModularMX. Connect up to 32 displays via DVI, CAT-5, or Fiber Optic cables depending
on which output modules are utilized. Connect an Ethernet cable from the network to the
RJ-45 connector to use the built-in Web server or Telnet capability to control routing, EDID,
and other functions. Connect an RS-232 cable from a RS-232 control device to control
the matrix via RS-232. Connect the IEC connectors of the included AC power cords to the
matrix and plug the power cords into available electrical outlets. The DVI sources will be
routed as selected.

Pre-Congured Options
Before reading this User Manual, familiarize yourself with the rear panel of the 32x32
ModularMX.
The 32x32 ModularMX can accommodate up to four input cards and four output
cards. Each card provides eight connectors, providing a total of 32 inputs and outputs.
The32x32ModularMXissoldpre-conguredwithacombinationofinputandoutputcards
bestsuitedfortheneedsofyourapplication.Wewillcovereachcongurationin
the next section. First, we will identify the location of each input and output card on the
matrix.
Matrix Layout
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identied
with a letter: A, B, C, and D, from top to bottom (see next 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.
Refer to page 10 for detailed information on the rear-panel layout.
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.

1 Out (1 - 32)
Connect the output devices to these ports. Output banks are shown using the
tvONE ELR-POL Extender (DVI-8ELR-S), the tvONE Fiber Optic Extender (DVI-1FO-S),
and the tvONE DVI Output Board (MOD-8DVI-O).
2 Power (Input / Output boards)
Each Input and Output card has its own power indicator. This LED indicator will glow
bright blue when the card is properly installed and the power to the 32x32 ModularMX is
applied.
3 Cover Plate
In the event that an Output (or Input) board is not required, the cover plate can be installed
to prevent foreign particles or objects from entering the system.
4 In (1 - 32)
Connect the source devices to each of these ports. At the time of this writing, only DVI
input modules are available.
5 RS-232 Serial Port
Connects to the RS-232 control device. The 32x32 ModularMX may be switched remotely
using this port. See page 37 - 74 for more information.
6 IP / UDP / Telnet Control
Connect the 32x32 ModularMX to a network in order to use IP / UDP / Telnet control.
7 IR
Connect an IR extender to this IR port.
8 Power
This LED indicator glows bright blue when the matrix is powered on.
9 Power Supply (1 - 2)
Connect the included AC power cords from these receptacle to an available electrical
outlet. The redundant (secondary) power cable should be connected to an electrical outlet
on a different circuit. Each power supply is 110/220V AC.
10 Grounding Terminal
Provides a discharge path to ground in case a short circuit occurs between the “hot”
lead of the power supply and the enclosure of the Matrix. The grounding wire should be
attached from the grounding terminal to an approved ground path.
NOTE: Depending upon the package option of the 32x32 Modu-
larMX that was purchased, the back-panel may differ.

1. Connect up to 32 DVI sources to the DVI inputs on the rear panel of the 32x32
ModularMX using DVI cables.
2. Connect up to 32 DVI displays to the DVI outputs on the rear panel of the 32x32
ModularMX.
3. Connect both AC power cords from the 32x32 ModularMX 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.
1. Connect up to 32 DVI sources to the DVI inputs on the rear panel of the 32x32

2. Connect a CAT-5e cable (or better), up to 330 feet (100 meters) from each ELR-POL
jack on the Sender 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.
