    1. Introduction Thank you for choosing Lightware routers. The standalone DVI-Plus matrices are single link DVI matrix switchers with various DVI inputs and DVI outputs respectively, which routes any input(s) to any combination of output(s). The routers conform to DVI and HDMI specification without HDCP encryption, and switch signals between 25 - 225 MHz pixel clock frequency: from 640x480@60Hz to 1920x1200@60Hz or 2048x1080@60Hz resolutions.
