OPERATION NOTES
OPERATING THE GEFENPRO 16X16 DVI MATRIX W/ FRONT PANEL PUSH BUTTON
• The 16x16 DVI Matrix w/ Push Button Control does not support HDCP content.
• Make sure that a DVI monitor is powered and connected to one of the DVI outputs on
the 16x16 DVI Matrix w/ Push Button Control before applying power. By default, the
Local EDID is read from the connected monitor and is copied to all 16 DVI inputs once
the Matrix has been turned on. If a monitor is not detected by the Matrix at power-on,
a default (internal) EDID of 640x480 will be used. This functionality can be disabled
using the Secure Local EDID function using RS-232 or IP control.
• There is no internal scaling in the 16x16 DVI Matrix w/ Push Button Control. Each
monitor attached to the Matrix must be able to display the resolutions output by the
source device(s).
For maximum compatibility it is recommended that only one common resolution
be used by each source device.
• Advanced EDID features and IP conguration features are accessible through the
RS-232 serial command set.
• Routing and EDID features can be managed using the built-in IP control feature.
• This matrix supports Dynamic EDID. See page 61 for details.
• The Gefen Syner-G Software Suite is a free downloadable application from Gefen that
provides automatic download and installation of rmware upgrades for this product.
Download the application here: http://www.gefen.com/synerg/
READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR
CONTROL
• The Gefen Matrix Switcher Keyboard Controller is a free downloadable application
from Gefen that allows a computer keyboard to be used to switch between sources.
This application uses the Telnet protocol to control any Gefen switcher or matrix that
uses IP control.
Download the application here: http://www.gefen.com/support/download.jsp
IMPORTANT: If the unit is installed in a closed or multi-rack
assembly, do not block the ventilation holes of the enclosure.

IR REMOTE CONFIGURATION
How to Resolve IR Code Conicts
In the event that IR commands from other remote controls interfere with the supplied IR
Remote Control unit, changing the IR Remote Control’s IR channel will x the problem.
The IR Remote Control unit has a bank of DIP switches used for setting the IR channel.
The DIP switch bank is located underneath the battery cover.

of the IR remote showing the exposed DIP Switch
bank between the battery chambers.
It is important that the IR channel on the Remote Control unit, matches the IR channel set
on the 16x16 DVI Matrix w/ Push Button Control. For example, if both DIP switches on the
IR Remote Control unit are set to IR channel 0 (both DIP switches down), then the 16x16
DVI Matrix w/ Push Button Control must also be set to IR channel 0. See page 54 on how
to change the IR channel on the 16x16 DVI Matrix w/ Push Button Control.

ROUTING
Routing Inputs to Outputs
The following example illustrates the routing process. An input may be routed to a single
or multiple outputs. Multiple inputs cannot be routed to a single output. For this example,
we will route Input 6 to the following outputs: Output 3, Output 6, Output 7, and Output 9.
1. Press the Set button on the front panel. Pressing the Set button tells the matrix that
we want to perform a routing, masking, or preset operation. The Set button will glow
bright blue, indicating that it has been pressed.
2. The front-panel display will indicate that routing mode is active.

PRESETS
Saving the Current Routing State
The 16x16 DVI Matrix w/ Push Button Control allows routing (and masking) states to be
saved to internal non-volatile memory. Each routing state can be recalled at a later time
(see Recalling a Saved Routing State). Even if the matrix is powered OFF, the presets will
be retained in memory.
We’ll illustrate an example by saving the routing state of Input 6, which we created
on page 13.
1. Press the PreSet button, twice. The PreSet button will glow bright blue, indicating
that it has been pressed. The front-panel display will indicate that the matrix is in
“save preset” mode:

MASKING
Masking Outputs
“Masking” prevents the output device (display, etc) from receiving an output signal.
Instead of powering-down or disconnecting the output device, individual or multiple
outputs can be masked. Inputs cannot be masked.
To illustrate masking, we’ll use our original routing example from the section Routing Inputs
to Outputs.
1. Press the Mask button. The Mask button will glow bright blue and the front-panel
display will indicate that the matrix is in mask mode.

Saving the Default EDID to an Input
There may be instances when the downstream EDID data is corrupt or the EDID is not being read correctly by the matrix. On the other hand, it may be desirable to use a “generic”
EDID as opposed to the downstream EDID. In any case, the matrix provides a default
(internal) EDID that can be used. Let’s look at an example.
1. Press the EDID button, twice. The EDID button will glow bright blue and the
front-panel display will indicate that the matrix is ready to copy the default EDID
to the specied input.
