4.0 CONNECTING THE HARDWARE
Please study the panel drawings below and become familiar with the signal inputs,
output, power requirements/inputs plus any controls present. This will facilitate in better
understanding the operating instructions that follow. After familiarizing yourself with the
unit’s controls and connectors, connect appropriate input and output cables plus the AC
adapter as explained below.
Note: If you have purchased the optional IR remote control extender, operate the unit
without the extender installed at first and then, after determining that the unit is
operating properly, plug in the extender and verify the unit functions appropriately with
that unit.
5.0 OPERATING THE UNIT
Before installation, please make sure all of devices have been turned off.
•Connect your DVI display to the switcher’s DVI output using high quality cable
•Connect up to 4x DVI-D sources to the switcher’s inputs using high quality cables
•Plug the 5VDC power adapter into the rear of the unit
•Plug the Power Adapter into a working AC socket
•Power on all input and output devices
•Select the DVI source you want to view as explained below
You can select the channels you want to access in two ways: front panel push button
selection or via the remote control included with the package content.

5
5.1 Front Panel Push Button Selection:
The front panel push button is used to select the channel to be displayed on the screen.
Pressing the button during normal operation will cause the next channel to be selected
in sequence.
5.2 Remote Control Selection:
The channel selection can also be made via the provided remote by pressing the
appropriate button.
Note: If you have a problem with the IR control conflicting with other devices, the remote
allows users to reconfigure four (A, B, C, D) alternate combinations of IR codes.
The default code is A.
Push and hold the IR code button (A, B, C or D) on remote control panel for 2 seconds.
The 7-segment LED display will show the IR code for one second when the new IR
code is set.
Note – The optional 1T-IRR-100 Remote IR Extender allows the Switcher to be placed
in a concealed location and still use the IR Remote Control. The IR Extender comes
with a 5’ cable with 3.5mm Mini connectors, but longer lengths can be used.
6.0 TROUBLESHOOTING
If the switcher does not appear to be functioning, make certain that all the DVI sources
and the DVI capable monitor are functioning correctly by connecting each DVI source in
turn directly to the monitor using a cable with a length of 6 feet or less. If the signal is
present under those conditions, make certain that the power is present on the switcher.
If it is, measure the cable length you are attempting to use between the sources to the
switcher and the switcher to the monitor. The cables must be 6 foot long or less. Lastly,
inspect the cables and connectors for damage. Note: If you need to span a distance of
greater than 6 feet, purchase TV One’s 1T-DVI-RH repeater which will allow you to
extend a cable run up to 40 feet.
After trying the above suggestions should the problem still persist, contact your dealer
for additional suggestions before contacting TV One. Should the dealer’s technical
personnel be unable to assist you, contact TV One via our support website:
http://tvone.crmdesk.com. Create a technical support request on the site and our
support team will respond within a short period of time.
