INTRODUCTION  
Congratulations on your purchase of the 16x16 DVI Matrix. Your complete  
satisfaction is very important to us.  
Gefen  
Gefen delivers innovative computer and electronic 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 DVI Matrix  
Now you can easily combine sixteen cross-platform computers and sixteen digital  
displays using the 16x16 DVI Matrix. The 16x16 DVI Matrix provides a simple,  
reliable and highly effective method of routing multiple computer workstations.  
Each computer is capable of displaying video on any one of the 16 monitors.  
There are 4 methods of controlling the Matrix - by using the front panel buttons,  
the IR remote, a built-in RS-232 interface, or through IP Control over a local area  
network.  
How It Works  
The 16x16 DVI Matrix has sixteen DVI inputs and sixteen DVI outputs. Connect  
your sixteen computers to the DVI input ports on the Matrix’s input side. Connect  
the Matrix’s sixteen DVI outputs to the displays. Connect the power supply to the  
Matrix and connect the power cord to an available wall outlet. The connected  
displays will show video according to the selection.  
NOTE: This device only supports DVI-D.

OPERATION NOTES  
READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR  
OPERATING THE 16X16 DVI MATRIX  
The 16x16 DVI Matrix will not pass HDCP content.  
There is no internal scaling in the 16x16 DVI 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.  
Advanced EDID features and IP conguration features are accessible via the  
RS-232 serial communication port. Please see page 14 for more information.  
Routing and EDID features can be accessed via a web browser using the IP  
control feature, built into the 16x16 DVI Matrix.

LED Button Press Indicator  
This LED will activate momentarily upon each button press. This visual indicator  
is to inform the user that a command has been sent by the IR remote control.  
Display and Source Selection Buttons  
These buttons will be used to send display and source selections to the 16x16  
DVI Matrix.  
Routing Sources to Displays  
Issuing a routing command is a two step process. The rst step will be to select a  
the display (1-16) which a source will be routed to in the next step. Once the display  
has been entered, the source can then be selected. Select the source (1-16) which  
will be routed to the display selected in the previous step. For example, to route the  
source connected to input 6 to the display connected to output 4 the input steps  
would be the following:

RMT-16416IR REMOTE INSTALLATION  
To use the RMT-16416IR remote, remove the battery cover on the back of the  
remote to reveal the battery compartment. Insert the included battery into the open  
battery slot. The positive (+) side should be facing up. Ensure that both DIP (Dual  
In-line Package) switches are in the OFF position. Replace the battery cover. The  
remote ships with 2 batteries. One battery is needed for operation and the other  
battery is complimentary.

RMT-16416IR REMOTE CONFIGURATION  
How to Resolve IR Code Conicts  
In the event that IR commands from other remote controls conict with the RMT-  
16416IR remote control, changing the remote channel will alleviate this issue.  
The RMT-16416IR remote contains a set of DIP (Dual In-line Package) switches  
for setting the IR channel for the remote.  
The DIP Switch bank on the RMT-16416IR is located underneath the battery  
cover.  
IMPORTANT: The IR channel on the Matrix must match the IR channel on the  
remote. Please see page 26 for details.

EDID MANAGEMENT FEATURE  
EDID. What is it and what is it used for?  
Under normal circumstances, a source device (digital and analog) will require  
information about a connected device/display to assess what resolutions  
and features are available. The source can then tailor its output to send  
only resolutions and features that are compatible with the attached device/  
display. This information is called EDID (Extended Display Information Data)  
and a source device can only accept and read one EDID from a connected  
device/display. Likewise, the source an only output one resolution for use by a  
connected device/display.  
Why is EDID so important with the 16x16 DVI Matrix?  
The 16x16 DVI Matrix is a complex piece of technology that replicates and  
switches between multiple inputs and outputs. Each connected source device will  
require one EDID to read. EDID management is carefully handled by the 16x16  
DVI Matrix to provide a single EDID for each source to read.  
What options do I have to manage the EDID in the 16x16 DVI Matrix?  
First, it is important to note that each source device can only output one video/  
audio signal type. This includes resolutions and timings. When multiple devices/  
displays are used, such as with the 16x16 DVI Matrix, it is important to use  
devices/displays that have similar or compatible resolutions and features. This  
will ensure that the single video/audio signal produced by the source device is  
accepted by all of the connected output devices/displays.  
The user has the option, through utilization of the RS-232 serial interface, to  
choose how the unit will manage the EDID from multiple DVI devices/displays.  
Therefore the user has some control over the resolutions and features that  
the source devices will output. The 16x16 DVI Matrix has a LOCAL EDID  
management mode that will control how the EDID information is handled.  
How do I change EDID modes in the 16x16 DVI Matrix?  
EDID modes and IP conguration is managed via the RS-232 serial  
communications port. See page 14 for more information on the RS-232 serial  
communication features.

RS-232 SERIAL CONTROL INTERFACE  
What features are available via the RS-232 serial communications port?  
The GefenPRO 16x16 DVI Matrix can accept commands through the RS-232  
serial communications port located on the rear panel. The current RS-232 control  
features are:  
Switching/routing of inputs to outputs without the IR remote control.  
Managing the EDID bank and EDID that is loaded into the LOCAL EDID.  
Upload new EDID’s to the EDID bank or directly to the LOCAL EDID  
location.  
Manage IP settings.  
How do I use these features?  
These features were initially intended for utilization by custom installers in  
automated setups. However, these features can be tested and used by using any  
Windows PC with a terminal program.  
What pins are used for communication with the GefenPRO 16x16 DVI  
Matrix?  
Only pins 2 (Receive), 3 (Transmit), and 5 (Ground) are used for communication.  
A null-modem adapter should not be used with this product.

I/O MANAGEMENT WITHOUT THE WEB INTERFACE  
Switching and Masking without the Web Interface  
The Gefen 16x16 DVI Matrix uses HTML form attributes to communicate to the  
box. It uses the ‘method’ attribute with the ‘get’ value to send a command. The  
Matrix has a set of values that sends a valid command to perform switching and  
masking. If a command is valid, an “OK” message will be displayed. If the com-  
mand is invalid, a “FAIL” message will be displayed.  
Switching  
Below is the syntax for the SWITCH command. The table below lists the only  
values that can be entered to perform a successful switch. All values are case-  
sensitive.  
Syntax  
Single Output  
value>&i=<input value>*  
* Brackets should be removed and replaced with values according to the Switch-  
ing Table on page 37.  
Multiple Outputs  
value>&o=<output value 2>&o=<output value 3>&o=<output value  
n>i=<input value>**  
** When working with multiple outputs, a maximum of 16 output ports can be  
entered. To specify additional ports to switch, type:  
&o=<output value>  
Do not use the angled brackets when typing the command.
