READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR
OPERATING THE 8X8 DVI MATRIX
• The 8x8 DVI Matrix is HDCP compliant when used in EDID pass-through
mode (when a single DVI input is mapped to a single DVI output). Additional
Matrix outputs which attempt to route video signals to a source device that
has already made an HDCP connection with an HDCP-compliant display will
not be able to display an image.
• By default, EDID routing is based on the fi rst connected source and display.
For example, if monitor A is the fi rst display to connect to source 1 its EDID
will be used. All other displays that connect to source 1 thereafter will
have its EDID ignored. If display 1 switches to another source a hot-plug
signal will be sent and the EDID from the next display that is connected, in
numerical order, will be used.
• The Status Output display will only list the current display/source routing.
• There is no internal scaling in the 8x8 DVI Matrix. All of the attached
monitors must be able to display the resolutions output by the source
devices. For maximum compatibility it is recommended that only one
compatible/common resolution be used by all of the source devices.
