1. Introduction
1.1 About DVI Matrix Switcher System
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
system devices. The user manual takes DVI0808-A as the example, other models can take
reference from it too.

5.2 Connection of RS-232 Communication Port
Except the front control panel, the DVI matrix switcher can be control by far-end control
system(Such as PC,CRESTRON control system, AMX control system, CREATOR control system)
or through the Ethernet control via the RS-232 communication port.
5.2.1 Connection with Control System
With the RS-232 port, the RGB matrix switchers can be control by several kinds of control
systems.
This RS-232 communication port is a female 9-pin D connector. The
definition of its pins is as the table below.

5.2.2 Connection with Computer
When the switcher connects to the COM1 or COM2 of the computer with control software, users
can control it by that computer.
To control the switcher, users may use the application SWITCHER 2.0 in the supplied CD or
develop their own control software. Please refer the details in Communication Protocol and
Command Codes
5.2.3 Using Of Ethernet Adapter
5.2.3.1 Connection Of Hardware：
There are two ways to connect the RGB matrix switcher and the hardware of Ethernet Adapter.
F 5-2 DVI connecting to computer

A. Cross connection
The RGB matrix switchers connect to the LAN port of Ethernet Adapter XPORT via 6-bit network connections
directly. The Ethernet Adapter connects to the Ethernet port of the computer via CAT-5 across cable directly.
B. The RGB matrix switchers connect to the LAN port of Ethernet Adapter XPORT via 6-bit network
connections directly. The Ethernet Adapter connects to the Ethernet port of the computer via Hub with
CAT-5 straight cable.
5.2.3.2 Declaring of across cable and straight cable：
We use CAT-5 as wire in this system, connecting network equipment via installing RJ-45 connection in
both side of CAT-5. The connection standard of twisted-pair is not set casually, it must ensure the
symmetry of the cable connector, so the interference of those cables can be counteract each other.
Super CAT-5 wire usually contains 4-pairs thin wire wring together, distinguishing by different colors.
There are two ways to connect the twisted-pair: Standard EIA/TIA 568B and Standard EIA/TIA 568A.
T568A order T568B order

GW G OW B BW O GrW Gr OW O GW B BW G GrW Gr
Straight cable: According to Standard T568B in both side.
Across cable: According to Standard T568A in one side, and Standard T568B in another.
5.2.3.3 Configure Declaring Of Ethernet Control Adapter：
6-bit cable facture:
6-bit cable is used to connect RGB matrix switcher and Ethernet adapter. Connecting crystal-head
of two ports just as 1-1, 2-2, 3-3 … 6-6.
