INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the 16x16 3GSDI Matrix. Your complete
satisfaction is very important to us.
Gefen
Gefen delivers innovative, progressive computer and electronics add-on solutions
that harness integration, extension, distribution and conversion technologies.
Gefen’s reliable, plug-and-play products supplement cross-platform computer
systems, professional audio/video environments and HDTV systems of all sizes
with hard-working solutions that are easy to implement and simple to operate.
The Gefen 16x16 3GSDI Matrix
Now you can easily combine sixteen cross-platform computers and sixteen digital
displays using the 16x16 3GSDI Matrix. The Matrix provides a simple, reliable
and highly effective method of routing multiple computer workstations. Each
3GSDI source is capable of displaying video on any one of 16 3GSDI displays.
The Matrix can be controlled by using either the buttons on the front panel, the
built-in RS-232 interface, or the included IR remote.
How It Works
The 16x16 3GSDI Matrix has sixteen (16) inputs and sixteen (16) outputs.
Connect up to sixteen (16) 3GSDI sources to the 3GSDI input ports. Connect up
to sixteen (16) 3GSDI outputs to the displays. Plug in the power cord and power
on the Matrix. The connected displays will show video according to the selection.

OPERATION NOTES
READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR
OPERATING THE 16X16 3GSDI MATRIX
• There is no internal scaling in the 16x16 3GSDI Matrix. All of the attached
monitors must be able to display the resolutions output by 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 RS-232 or using IP control.
• IMPORTANT: If the unit is installed in a closed or multi-rack assembly, do
not block the ventilation holes of the enclosure.

“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.
4 RS-232 Serial Port
Connects to the RS-232 control device. The 16x16 3GSDI Matrix may be
switched remotely using this port. See page 16 for more information.
5 IP Control Interface
Connect the 16x16 3GSDI Matrix to a network in order to use IP control.
6 110/220 AC Power Receptacles
Connect one power cord to both power receptacles. The redundant (secondary)
power cable should be connected to an electrical outlet on a different circuit.
