INTRODUCTION

The DVR 8x8 is a high-quality switching matrix for up to 8 input and 8 output video signals. This allows an

easy and dynamic approach to displaying content from 8 video sources on 8 screens independently.

The matrix provides DVI-D, single-link Video interface at the maximum TMDS rate of 2 x 1.65 Gbps at

resolutions up to 1920 x 1200. The DVI signals can be transmitted up to 20 feet on both the input

and output sides of the switch.

Control the matrix instantly either locally via the front panel button or remotely using RS-232 connection

status of ports 1-8:

Figure 6-1

To switch ports using the front panel, press and hold the Scroll button for one second to enter port selec-

tion mode. A block cursor will appear over the first input port

Figure 6-2

1. Press Enter to select the output port you would like to change.

2. When selected, press the Scroll button to change the input port number.

3. Press Enter to execute and move the cursor to the next output port.

To exit the port editing mode, wait 5 seconds and the DVR8X8 will return to status mode.

MENU Options

To access the other features of the DVR8X8, press and hold both the Scroll and Enter buttons simultane-

ously for 3 seconds and release to bring up the MENU screen. Press Scroll to cycle through the following

list of options:

Figure 6-3

To change the status of the selected option, press the Enter button.

 DDC : PC - changes the DDC table to PC (see DDC Learning)

 DDC : MAC - changes the DDC table to Mac (see DDC Learning)

 DDC : SCREEN - changes the DDC table to SCREEN (see DDC Learning)

 FACTORY RESET - resets the DVR8X8 to the factory default settings.

 MEMORY RECALL - recalls the last working configuration after a power cycle.

 EXIT - exits the MENU

DDC LEARNING

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 plug-

and-play capability, we have integrated DDC learning into all of our DVI Solutions.

To enter CHANGE DDC mode, press and hold both the Scroll and Enter buttons simultaneously for 3 sec-

onds to bring up the MENU screen and use Scroll to cycle through the menu options. To select a mode,

press Enter. The currently selected DDC Mode will be indicated by a letter in brackets (P for PC, M for

Mac, and S for Screen).

ESTABLISHING AN RS-232 CONNECTION

Before you start:

Controlling a Smart-AVI device via RS-232 requires an RS-232 card installed on your computer or a USB

to RS-232 adapter. Below are instructions on how to create an RS-232 connection between a PC and the

Smart-AVI device.

Make sure to use communication settings 9600 bps, N, 8, 1, No flow control.

Check the device and your PC to determine if you need a male to male or a male to female cable and how

long it needs to be. The Smart-AVI device requires a straight through cable. You can use a Null Modem

Adapter to convert a crossed cable to a straight through cable. Examples of crossed and straight thorough

cable pin-outs are shown below. The standard maximum length for an RS-232 cable is 50 feet. Call our

Smart-AVI Support Engineer if you require more information.

Figure 8-1

Examples of 9 pin RS-232 Straight Through and Crossed Cables

Establish a connection to the Smart-AVI device:

1. Connect an RS-232 cable to the RS-232 connector on the PC.

2. Connect the other end of the cable to the RS-232 port of the Smart-AVI device.

3. Use Windows Control Panel / Device Manager to identify the Com port number. See instructions and

Figure 8-2 below.

4. Power on the device.

If you are using a USB to COM port adapter on a Win-

dows PC and need to identify the COM port used, do

the following:

1. Click on the start button.

2. Click on Control Panel.

3. Click on Device Manager. In Windows 7 you need

to click on “Hardware and Sound” to get to Device

Manager.

4. Click on the arrow next to Ports (COM & LPT). You

should see the name of your adapter and the

COM port number in use.

USING THE SmartControl SOFTWARE

RS-232: Controlling the HDR16X16 has never been simpler with SmartControl software. With SmartCon-

trol, you can assign a unique name to each port on the HDR16X16, as well as each display, customizing

projects to meet your needs. Although all the functions of the matrix are available locally on the front

panel of the HDR16X16, using SmartControl allows for customization of all the matrix functions.

 Download the Smart Control Pro software from the Smart-AVI website. www.smartavi.com

 Double click SmartControlPro-v5-0-03_Installer.exe in order to initiate software installation.

 Click Install. After installation has completed, click CLOSE.

 In order to use the software, click on the START button>Programs>SmartControl Pro.

 There you should see a help file, the SmartControl Pro launcher as well as a shortcut to uninstall

SmartControl Pro.

Click on SmartControl Pro in order to launch the software. When the software starts you will see a

screen like this:

Advanced Configuration:

If you have more than one Router in-

stalled you will want to check this box.

Router Type:

Select DVR 8X8

Inputs/Outputs:

Enter the number of Inputs/Outputs your HDR16X16 has.

The HDR16X16 can have up to 16 inputs and 16 outputs.

Com Port:

See the section in this manual on establishing an RS-232 connection for instructions on how to identify

the com port number.

Router Time out:

This field is set to 0 by default, meaning the computer acknowledges commands almost instantly. Some-

times a computer takes longer to respond. This setting should be left at 0. If you need to change it, it

should be no higher than 0.2.

After you have entered in the necessary information click OK. This will now take you to the Main Routing

Window where you can route the different video/audio connections.

Figure 9-1

USING THE SmartControl SOFTWARE (continued)

Main Routing Window

The Main Routing Window enables you to control the router(s) connections by means of the Crosspoint

panel, the button panel, or with pre-recorded routes called macros.

Crosspoint Panel: This is the simplest way to route the connections. Simply click on the cross point itself.

The input on the left will then be routed to the output above.

Note: Inputs can be routed to several different outputs, but each output can only have a single input at

any one time. That means you can have several connections horizontally but not vertically.

On the screen shown in figure 10-1 the input buttons run down the left side and the output buttons run

across the top. They’re each labeled 1 through 8. This configuration directs video from source 1 to be dis-

played on all 8 displays.

Figure 10-1

Figure 10-2

On the screen shown in figure 10-2 source 1 is sent to display 1, source 2 to display 2, 3 to 3, 4 to 4, 5 to

5, etc.
