DVI-3580a
4K MultiViewer
Quick Start Guide
Introduction
Presentation Powerhouse – The DVI-3580a is a high-performance 4K MultiViewer, Presentation
Switcher and Scaler. This unit is an ideal solution for system designers and facility managers facing
uncertain requirements from presenters that need AV signal distribution for a diverse range of source
devices, resolutions and signal formats. The DVI-3580a overcomes these challenges through a rich
array of input connections that supports all popular AV input signal formats, a range of user-selectable
output resolutions and innovative MultiViewer capabilities. These features provide the power
and exibility needed to adapt to the ever-changing demands of presentation rooms, classrooms,
auditoriums, conference rooms, houses of worship, and other media-rich AV environments.
Versatile Video Capabilities – This powerful presentation switcher accepts up to seven (7) video
inputs: 4x HDMI (or DVI), 2x DisplayPort and 1x RGB/YPbPr Analog (VGA). The unit supports a broad
range of input signal formats and resolutions up to 4K /60p. A powerful internal scaling engine
provides a range of user-selectable output resolutions up to 3840x2160/30p, as well as seamless
switching
and 1x HDBaseT™. The HDBaseT output is POH (Power over HDBaseT) compliant, so a compatible
receiver unit may be remotely powered from the DVI-3580a unit over the HDBaseT link. The
MultiViewer function can simultaneously display up to 4x video signals with resolutions up to 4K,
which are displayed in seven possible layouts: Single, Double, Triple, Quad 1, Quad 2, Quad 3, or
Quad 4. Any input signal can be displayed in any MultiViewer window.
Advanced Audio Routing – The DVI-3580a features audio embedding as well as de-embedded
audio outputs. Each video input is coupled with an analog stereo audio input connection. The unit
includes three audio outputs: HDMI / HDBaseT embedded audio, 8-channel (7.1) analog audio, and
TOSLINK optical audio. User-adjustable lip-sync correction is provided.
Total Control – The DVI-3580a may be controlled via a variety of options, including LAN (built-in
Web GUI or Telnet), RS-232, IR Remote Control, and Front Panel selections. The Web GUI increases
ease of setup and support through many features, including powerful EDID management capabilities.
This allows integrators to select a factory installed EDID, learn the EDID from a connected display,
upload EDID les into 7x custom memory slots, or download EDID les from the unit. These powerful
features allow the unit to be seamlessly integrated into any professional AV system.
Note 1: Seamless switching is only available in Single Window Layout Mode.

Quick Start Guide
Installation
For complete operating instructions,
please refer to the User Manual.
1.) Rack Mount Ears and Removable Feet:
Add or remove these accessories as needed.
2.) Video Sources and Destinations: Connect each
video source device to the HDMI, DisplayPort or VGA inputs on the rear of the DVI-3580a as needed.
Next, connect the displays or downstream devices to the HDMI output and/or the HDBaseT output.
The HDBaseT output only supports extension of audio, video, and POH. The RS-232, LAN, and IR
signals cannot be extended over the link. For best results, DVIGear recommends using CAT-6A F/UTP
(500 MHz) 23AWG high-grade cable or better for the HDBaseT link. See the warning below.
3.) Audio Sources and Destinations: Connect any external audio sources to the 3.5mm mini-jacks
accompanying the appropriate video signals as needed. Next, connect any downstream audio
devices to the appropriate audio outputs as needed.
4.) Control Connections: The unit may be controlled via a variety of options, including LAN (built-in
Web GUI or Telnet), RS-232, IR Remote Control, and Front Panel selections. The most intuitive,
versatile control method is the built-in Web GUI (see page 7).
To control the unit via the LAN port, connect it to the network or directly to a PC using a standard
(straight-through) LAN cable. Set the IP address of the control PC to be within the same subnet
as the unit. Next, open a web browser and input the IP address of the unit. By default, the
unit has an IP address of 192.168.100.100 and DHCP Mode disabled. To view the current IP
address at any time, press and hold the Audio Source Button on the front panel or IR remote for 5
seconds and the current IP will be displayed on the screen.
To control the unit via the RS-232 port, connect to the unit using a straight-through cable.
Default values: baud rate: 9600; data bits: 8; stop bits: 1; parity: none; ow control: none.

5.) Power: First, supply power to the destination devices.
Next, supply power to the DVI-3580a. To do this, plug the AC Power Cord into the receptacle on
the unit and then into an outlet. Switch the unit ON using the master switch on the rear of the
unit. This switch, along with the red power LED on the front panel, will remain illuminated when
power is supplied to the unit and the master switch is turned ON. The unit may need to be toggled
out of standby mode. When the unit is in standby, the standby button on the front panel will light up
green. Pressing this button will bring the unit out of standby.
After the unit is powered ON and is out of standby mode, supply power to the source devices.
Note 2 – WARNING: The HDBaseT port is designed to connect to compatible HDBaseT products only (e.g. DVIGear's DVI7520-RX). Do not connect any device to the HDBaseT port of this product unless you have veried that it is compatible.
Do not connect any HDBaseT device to the LAN port of the DVI-3580a. Connecting incompatible devices may cause harm
to the devices. Please consult technical support with any questions concerning product interoperability.
Please use the preferred cable termination scheme (T568B) for all HDBaseT connections throughout the installation
(see the User Manual for more information). It is typical for HDBaseT receivers to operate at high temperatures.
Care must be taken to ensure airow through the Rx unit is not restricted in any way.
