CONNECTING AND OPERATING THE 8X1 DVI DL/SL
How to Connect the 8x1 DVI DL/SL Switcher to your devices:
1. Connect the supplied DVI cables from the DVI sources into the 8x1 DVI
Switcher’s Inputs.
2. Connect the cable from your display (monitor or projector) into the DVI Out
of the 8x1 DVI DL/SL Switcher and turn on the display.
3. Turn on the DVI display or projector.
4. Connect the included 5V DC power supply to the Switcher by screwing its
locking power tip into the receptacle in the rear of the unit. Plug the power
cord into a free wall socket.
5. Turn on the computers.
Note:
For the fi rst-time power-up sequence, please make sure that the display
device is turned on and connected to the 8x1 DVI DL/SL Switcher before
applying power to the Switcher. The reason for this procedure is that EDID
information will only be copied from the display device to DVI sources upon
power-up. If power is applied to the Switcher before the display device is
connected and powered up, the Switcher’s last recorded EDID from previous
activity will be used.
How to Operate the 8x1 DVI DL/SL Switcher:
6. Use the RMT-8IR remote control to remotely switch between DVI video
sources.
7. Alternatively, use a RS-232 control system such as a PC with
communications software (for example, Microsoft’s Hyperterminal tm ) or an
automated control system such as Crestron. tm
