There is no internal scaling in the 16x16 Modular Matrix for HDMI w/ HDCP. All of the attached monitors must be able to display the output resolutions of 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 IP control. See RS-232 and IP
Conguration for more information.
The 16x16 Modular Matrix for HDMI w/HDCP is available in several pre-congured versions to meet the requirements of your particular application. This User Manual covers both congurations. See Pre-Congured Options for additional information.

4. Connect both AC power cords from the 16x16 Modular Matrix for HDMI w/ HDCP to available electrical outlets. Connecting both AC power cords will provide redundancy should one of the power supplies fail. It is recommended to connect each power cord to electrical outlets on two separate circuits.
Power to the Receiver unit is delivered from the power supply in the matrix over the
CAT-5e cable using Gefen Power Over Line (POL) technology. The Link indicator will
glow bright green to indicate a solid connection between the matrix and the Receiver unit. The Power indicator will glow bright blue to indicate that the Receiver unit is being powered.
If either of these LED indicators are OFF, inspect the CAT-5 cable for loose connections or possible defects.
