Flexible Control Options DDC Learning Switching Between Ports DDC provides plug-and-play capability to your displays. When you plug a display into your computer, the DDC table in the display tells the computer the optimal resolution to use. In order to preserve this plug-and-play capability, we have integrated DDC learning into all of our DVI Solutions.
Flexible Control Options (Continued) Software Installation & Operation There are 3 other ways to control your DVR4X4: Find the Installation CD that came with your DVR4X4 unit. This CD has the SmartControl software that you will need in order to control the unit using a computer. Insert the CD into your CD-ROM. On the CD you should see: SmartControl Installer.exe SmartControl Help File DVR 4X4 Manual in PDF format Double click SmartControl.exe in order to initiate software installation. Click Install.
Software Installation & Operation (Continued) The Main Routing Window enables you to control the router(s) connections by means of the matrix panel, the button panel, or with pre-recorded routes called macros. Matrix Panel: This is probably the simplest way to route the connections. Simply click on the cross point itself. The input on the left will then be routed to the output above. Note: Inputs can be routed to several different outputs, but each output can only have a single input at any one time.
Software Installation & Operation (Continued) RS-232 Specifications How to properly create an RS-232 connection between a PC and most SmartAVI RS-232 compliant devices Establish a connection to your RS-232 compliant device: 1. 2. 3. Smartcontrol Pro is based on RS232 queries with CRC protocol, any software that can send hex or ascii code can control the SuperMatrix. Each box is called a frame and have a special number sending Audio/Video from any source to any remote.
5) To query crosspoints from PC: //FxxU • If all outputs are connected to input 1 then a 4x4 Matrix will respond with <0x80><0x80><0x80><0x80> • The router will send back one byte for each output and the string ends with a . The first byte sent is Output #1. In the example above, since there are 5 bytes total, we know that there are 4 outputs. • To calculate the input number, the router sends the input number with the 7th bit set.
