The DVN-16P is a cross-platform switch capable of sharing a DVI-D monitor, stereo speakers and
USB 2.0 devices between sixteen computers. It is RS-232 and Infrared compliant, capable of being
controlled remotely via software (TCP/IP), locally via the front panel, RS-232 or Infrared remote control.
Features
•Supports Mac, PC, Linux and Sun DVI
•Supports High Resolution1920x1200 60Hz WUXGA
•Uses universal DVI Single Link connectors
•Zero pixel loss with TMDS signal correction
•Supports all USB 2.0 Devices (Flash Drives, Printers, Scanners, etc.)
•Supports USB 2.0 keyboard and mouse
•Balanced stereo audio output
•Front panel tactile switch with LCD display
•Full IR and RS-232 control
•Optional TCP/IP control
Applications
•Server Collocation
•Digital Signage
•Airports
•Dealer Rooms
•Control Rooms
•Audio/Visual Presentations
•Hotels/Resorts
•KVM Switches
The DVN-16P has a broad range of applications, but its main function is to centralize the access
to several computers into one console. Not only does it function like a KVM, it has USB support.
This allows a user at the console to use USB devices that would otherwise be unavailable with
conventional KVMs. For example, it allows a user to use a ash memory drive without having to
plug it directly into the remote computer. In the medical or industrial eld for example, where
it may not be practical (or safe) to have one or more CPUs in the general vicinity, the DVN-16P is
the perfect solution.
NOTE: THE USB OPERATION OF THE DVN-16P IS FULLY TRANSPARENT.
TO ATTACH ADDITIONAL USB DEVICES A USB HUB MAY BE USED.
1. Turn o all computers, speakers and the display.
2. Connect the DVI extension cables, USB cables, and audio cables (not included) to the computers and to
the “IN” ports on the DVN-16P.
3. Connect the display to the “OUT” DVI connector on the DVN-16P.
4. Connect USB devices, including mouse and keyboard, to the “OUT” USB connector on the DVN-16P.
5. Connect speakers to the “OUT” audio connector on the DVN-16P.
6. Connect the power supply to the DVN-16P.
7. Power on the computers, speakers and the display.
8. Use the front panel buttons, an RS-232 connection or infrared remote control to select the desired input port.
Switching Between Ports
There are three ways to switch between inputs on the DVN-16P: via the front panel buttons, IR remote control,
RS-232 connection or TCP/IP (Internet).
Front Panel Control
To switch ports using the front panel, press either the Enter button for up or the Scroll button for down to
select the port you would like to switch to. The selected port number will be indicated on the LED display.
To use the front panel to program the DDC table, see “DDC Learning”.
IR Control (optional)
To switch ports using an infrared remote control (optional accessory), connect
an SM-EYE (optional accessory) to the DVN-16P box and the unit will autodetect the infrared connection. Once the connection is made, you may use the
IR remote to cycle through the available ports.
When using the SRC-2A infrared remote control:
• To switch to a specic port, use the keypad to enter the two-digit number of the
desired port and press the ENTER button.
RGB
• To cycle through the available ports, press the CH up/down buttons.

RS-232 Control
To switch ports using an RS-232 connection, use a male-to-female serial cable to connect a computer to
the DVN-16P’s RS-232 port. Use Hyperterminal to connect to the DVN-16P, making sure to use the standard
communication mode of 9600bps, 8, N, 1.
(NOTE: all commands must be uppercase)
• To switch ports, use the standard “//M” command prompt.
• To switch to the “IN 1” port, send “//M01 [ENTER]”
• To switch to the “IN 2” port, send “//M02 [ENTER]” etc.
• To switch to the “IN 1” port and toggle the hotplug pin, send “//H01 [ENTER]”
• To switch to the “IN 2” port and toggle the hotplug pin, send “//H02 [ENTER]” etc.
(the hotplug pin is used to wake the display from standby)
• To reboot the DVN-16P, send “//BOOT [ENTER]”
• To display the current rmware version number, send “//XXXX [ENTER]”
• To reset the DVN-16P to factory defaults, send “//RESET [ENTER]”
(the DVN-16P must be power cycled to complete the reset command)
TCP/IP Control (optional)
To control the DVN-16P remotely via the internet, connect an SMTCP controller (optional accessory) to the
RS-232 port of the DVN-16P. For more information about the SMTCP controller, please visit our website at
www.smartavi.com.
DDC Learning
The DVN-16P is fully capable of “learning” and remembering what type of display monitor is connected to the
unit. Programming the DDC (Display Data Channel) is accomplished using the two buttons located on the
front panel.
To enter Learning Mode, simply press both the Scroll and Enter buttons at the same time until the display
reads “Menu”. By then pressing the Scroll button, you may cycle through the following DDC learning modes:
(to select a mode, press the Enter button)
“Learn PC” indicates Personal Computer Mode and automatically selects the standard display characteristics
of a PC display, which typically works for any PC/Display combination.
“Learn Mac” indicates Mac Mode and selects the best display mode to accommodate a Mac.
“Learn Screen” indicates Screen Mode, which learns the type of display connected to the “OUT” port.
“Exit” allows the user to exit the menu.
ABOUT DDC
DDC provides plug-and-play capability to your displays. When you plug a display into your computer, the
DDC table in the display tells the computer the optimal resolution to use. In order to preserve this plugand-play capability, we have integrated DDC learning into all of our DVI Solutions.
