DVI series Matrix switcher is a high-performance professional computer and audio signal switcher
that can be used for cross switching of multi computer and audio signal. Independent DVI
component and balance/unbalance I/O terminals make each component signal transmit and
switch separately; this design can reduce attenuation of signal transmission to minimum and
output the image and audio signal in high-fidelity quality.
DVI series switcher mostly apply in broadcasting TV engineering, multi-media meeting room, big
screen display engineering, television education, command control center or other fields. It
provides power-fail locale protection function, LCD displaying, A/V timing or separating switching
function. It also has a adaptable compensation to extend the input distance to 36 meters. With
RS232 interface, it can be worked with PC, remote control system and any other far-end control

interferences will have the same intensity and the opposite phases on the two signal cords, it will be
counteracted in the end. For the low frequency extent of the audio signal, it would be easily interfered
under long distance transmission. Therefore, as an anti-interference connection, it is mostly used in
audio connection of special device.
The unbalanced connection transmits signals only with a signal cord. Without counteraction, it can be
interfered more easily. Accordingly, it is adopted for household appliance or some cases with low
technical demand.
Take the audio signal line for example: 1.Unbalanced: pin “G” connect to SLEEVE, pin “+” connect to
TIP, pin “–” connect to pin “G”; 2.Balanced: pin “G” connect to SLEEVE, pin “–” connect to RING, pin “+”
connect to TIP. As shown in the F 5-3:

connection is up to the interface of the device. When available, the balanced connection is the first
choice. Before connection, please read the command or relevant demand in the user manual carefully.
In some cases, maybe there is balanced in source signal end but unbalanced in the destination end. If
in a nonstandard case, it is done to connect balanced for the balanced end and unbalanced for
unbalanced end. But if in a standard one, the converter must be used to switch the signals as the same,
balanced or unbalanced.

Note:
1. [x1], [x2], [x3] and [x4] are the symbols of input or output channels ranged according to the model of
the matrix switcher. If the symbols exceed the effective range, it would be taken as a wrong command.
2. In above commands, “[“and “]” are symbols for easy reading and do not need to be typed in actual
operation.
3. Please remember to end the commands with the ending symbols “.” and “;”.
4. The commands are case-sensitive.
Detail Examples:
1. Transfer signals from an input channel to all output channels: [x1]All.
Example: To transfer signals from the input channel No.3 to all output channels
Run Command: “3All.”
2. Transfer all input signals to the corresponding output channels respectively: All#.
Example: If this command is carried out on an RGB 16X16 matrix switcher, the status of it will be:
1->1, 2->2, 3->3, 4->4……16->16.
3. Switch off all the output channels: All$.
Example: After running this command, there will be no signals on all the output channels.

11. Troubleshooting & Maintenance
1) When the output image in the destination device connected to the DVI Matrix has ghost, such as
the projector output with ghost, please check the projector’s setting or try another high quality
connection cord.
2) When there is a color losing or no video signal output,，Maybe the DVI cables haven’t been
connected as DVI1.0 criterion
3) When the remote controller doesn’t works:
A. Maybe the battery is run out of, please change a new one.
B. Maybe the controller is broken, please ask the dealer to fix it.
4) When user can not control the DVI Matrix by computer through its COM port, please check the
COM port number in the software and make sure the COM port is in good condition.
5) If there is not “beep” sound when switching the I/O signal, please make sure the beeper is
switched-on. If so, the beeper inside the matrix may be broken. Please send it to the dealer for
fixing.
6) When switching , the beeper beeps but without any output image：
A. Check with oscilloscope or multimeter if there is any signal at the input end. If there is no signal
input, it may be the input connection cord broken or the connectors loosen.
B. Check with oscilloscope or multimeter if there is any signal at the output end. If there is no
signal output, it may be the output connection cord broken or the connectors loosen.
C. Please make sure the destination device is exactly on the controlled output channel
D. If it is still the same after the above checking, it may be something wrong in the switcher.
Please send it to the dealer for fixing.
7) If the POWER indicator doesn’t work and there is no display on LCD or no respond to any
operation, please make sure the power cord connected well.
8) If the output image is interfered, please make sure the system is earthed well.
9) If the static becomes stronger when connecting the BNC connectors, it may be due to the incorrect
earthling of the power supply, Please earth it again correctly, and otherwise it would bring damage
to the switcher or shorten its natural life.
10) If the beeper beeps, the LCD displaying normally and there is also returning code, but without any
output image or audio output.
A. Maybe A/V connection cord broken, please change a new one.
B. Maybe the connection cord cutting-out, please change a new one.

DVI Matrix switcher user manualCR-DVI0808-A-01 CREATOR
C. May be the connection cord broken, please change a new one.
11) If the Matrix can not be controlled by the keys on the front panel, RS232 port or remote controller,
the host may has already been broken. Please send it to the dealer for fixing.
