Configurability; Configurability Rules - Extron electronics DMS 1600 Setup Manual

Configurability

The DMS matrix switchers are assembled from I/O boards.
•
The DMS 1600 can include up to four I/O boards.
•
The DMS 2000 can include up to five I/O boards.
•
The DMS 3200 can include up to eight I/O boards.
•
The DMS 3600 can include up to nine I/O boards.
There are six types of I/O boards available:
•
4x4 DVI inputs and outputs
•
4 DVI inputs
•
4 DVI outputs
By adding or removing I/O boards within certain rules that are detailed
in "Configurability rules," below, you can expand and contract each
switcher model from a 4-input by 4-output matrix to up to:
•
DMS Matrix 1600 — A 16-input by 16-output matrix
•
DMS Matrix 2000 — A 20-input by 20-output matrix
•
DMS Matrix 3200 — A 32-input by 32-output matrix
•
DMS Matrix 3600 — A 36-input by 36-output matrix

Configurability Rules

There are certain rules for configuring the DMS matrix switcher for proper
operation, as detailed below:
•
The top slot (slot 1) MUST contain a 4x4 DVI or fiber optic input and
output board.
•
The next slot (slot 2) can contain any of the six board types.
•
A 4x4 input and output board can be followed (in the slot directly
underneath it) by any of the board types.
•
After you insert a 4-input board or a 4-output board, all active
boards underneath it MUST be the same size (4 inputs or 4
outputs).
•
Fiber boards can follow DVI boards and DVI boards can follow fiber
boards within the above size rules.
•
If you install a blank panel, all slots under it MUST contain blank
panels (you cannot skip a slot).
