that ﬁ ts your needs.

T

he GefenPRO 8x8 DVI Dual Link Matrix with Push Button Controls

The GefenPRO 8x8 DVI Dual Link Matrix with Push Button Controls provides a professional-grade solution to route up to eight DVI sources to any eight DVI displays. Dual link resolutions up to 3840x2400 are supported. The front panel display shows the current routing status and the front panel push buttons are

sed to manage local source routing. Four methods are available for controlling

the GefenPRO 8x8 DVI Dual Link Matrix: front panel push buttons, IR remote,

-232 interface, or using IP control with the built-in Web interface.

How It Works

onnect up to eight DVI source devices to the GefenPRO 8x8 DVI Dual Link

atrix with Push Button Controls using the supplied DVI cables. Connect up to

ight monitors to the DVI outputs. Plug in the power cord and apply power to the

atrix. The DVI sources will be routed according to the current routing selection.

NOTE: The GefenPRO 8x8 DVI Dual Link Matrix with Push Button Controls only

upports DVI-D.

OPERATION NOTE

S

READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR

OPERATING THE GEFENPRO 8X8 DVI DUAL LINK MATRIX WITH

USH BUTTON CONTROL

S

• The 8x8 DVI Dual Link Matrix with Push Button Controls does not support

DCP content.

• When the Matrix is used for the ﬁ rst time, make sure that a DVI monitor is

owered and connected to one of the DVI outputs on the 8x8 DVI Dual Link

atrix with Push Button Controls before applying power. By default, the Local EDID is read from the connected monitor and is copied to all 8 DVI inputs once the Matrix has been turned on. If a monitor is not detected b

y

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 through RS-232 control. See page 30 for more information.

• There is no internal scaling in the 8x8 DVI Dual Link Matrix with Push Button ontrols. Each monitor attached to the Matrix must be able to display the

esolutions output by the source device(s). For maximum compatibility it is ecommended that only one common resolution be used by each source

vice.

• Advanced EDID features are accessible through the RS-232 serial command

et or using IP Control.

IMPORTANT: If the unit is installed in a cl

osed o

r multi-rack

assembly, do not block the ventilation holes of the enclosure.

How to Resolve IR Code Conﬂ icts

In the event that IR commands from other remote controls interfere with the

upplied IR Remote Control unit, changing the IR channel on the IR Remote

ontrol unit will ﬁ x the problem. The IR Remote Control unit has a bank of DIP

witches used for setting the IR channel.

The DIP switch bank is located underneath the battery cover.

It is important that the IR channel on the Remote Control unit, matches the IR

hannel set on the 8x8 DVI Dual Link Matrix. For example, if both DIP switches on the IR Remote Control unit are set to IR channel 0 (both DIP switches down), then the 8x8 DVI Dual Link Matrix must also be set to IR channel 0. See page 53

or information on how to change the IR channel on the 8x8 DVI Dual Link Matrix.

Issuing a routing command is a two step process. The ﬁ rst step is to select the

onitor where the source will be routed. The second step is to select the source.

Example

1

oute the source device connected to In 7 to the monitor connected to Out 3.

1. Press button 3 (monitor 3) on the IR remote control unit.

2. Press button 7 (source 7) on the IR remote control unit. The source connected to In 7 will be routed to the monitor connected to Out 3.

Example

2

oute the source device connected to In 1 to the monitor connected to Out 1.

1. Press button 1 (monitor 1) on the IR remote control unit.

2. Press button 1 (source 1) on the IR remote control unit. The source connected to In 1 will be routed to the monitor connected to Out 1.
