1.2. Description

Lightware MX6x6DVI and MX8x8DVI are single link, MX6x6DVI-DL and
MX8x8DVI-DL are dual link DVI matrix switchers with 6 or 8 DVI inputs and 6 or 8
DVI outputs respectively, that routes any input(s) to any combination of output(s).
The router conforms to DVI 1.0 specification, and switches signals between 25 -
165 MHz pixel clock frequency: from 640x480@60Hz to 1920x1200@60Hz or
2048x1080@60Hz PC resolutions in single link, and up to 3840x2400@30Hz or
4096x2400@24Hz in dual link mode. See section
dual link signals.
The input signal is not equalized, therefore only standard length (max. 5 meter)
DVI cables can be used.
The switcher has an RS-232 (or RS-422 optional) and an RJ45 LAN port for
remote control applications and a control panel for local control operation. Front
panel buttons are illuminated and easily relegendable with text for informative
system integration.
