DVI Inputs and Outputs
5 6
29-pole DVI-I connectors, however analog pins are not connected
internally. This way, users can plug in any DVI connector, but keep in mind
that analog signals (such as VGA or RGBHV) are NOT processed.
ATTENTION! Always use high-quality DVI cable for connecting sources and displays.
DVI Outputs
29-pole DVI-I connectors for outputs have only digital pins internally connected. This way, users can plug in
any DVI connector, but keep in mind that analog signals (e.g. VGA or RGBHV) are NOT available on outputs.
Fiber Cable Powering
DVI outputs are able to supply 500 mA current on DDC +5V output (pin 14 on output connectors) which is
sufficient to supply power to hybrid fiber optical DVI cables. Standard DVI outputs usually supply only 55 mA
current on +5V output, thus unable to directly power a fiber optical cable.
ATTENTION! The matrix router does not check if the connected sink (monitor, projector or other equipment)
supports Hotplug or EDID signals but outputs the selected signal immediately after the switch command.
Ethernet Port
The matrix can be controlled remotely via Ethernet as well; it can be connected to a LAN
hub, switch or router with a UTP patch cable. Connect a cross UTP cable for a direct
connection! The robust Neutrik EtherCON connector ensures reliable connection, however
normal RJ45 connectors can be also used.
The Wiring of Twisted Pair Cables
Terminating the TP cables according to TIA/EIA T 568 A or TIA/EIA T 568 B standards is recommended.
