INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the 4x4 DVI KVM Matrix.
Now you can easily switch four cross-platform computers to four digital displays. Our 4x4
DVI KVM Matrix provides a simple, reliable and highly effective method of creating
multiple computer workstations, with each workstation capable of accessing any one of
the computers or sources at any time by remote control.
The 4x4 DVI KVM Matrix has four DVI inputs and four DVI outputs. You simply connect
your four computers’s DVI ports to the Switcher’s inputs, then connect your four DVI dis-
playstotheSwitcher’soutputs.USB keyboardand mousesignals andanalog audio,once
connected, follow the DVI switched input for each computer. .
Note: The switching is done by using either the RMT-16IR remote control, the RS232 port,
or the optional CAT5 Remote (EXT-RMT-MATRIX-444). The 4x4 DVI KVM Matrix is rack
mountable.

13-16 Display 4 to view Source 1, 2, 3, or 4
*Note for computers connected to the DVIKVM Matrix - When your computer
boots up, it looks for an EDID (extended display identification data) from the dis-
play to tell it what monitor is connected and what resolution to output. During boot
up of the computer you should have ONLY one output selected to one input at a
time so that the computer gets the EDID of the display that is selected. If you have
multiple outputs selected to one computer, the computer will read the EDID of the
last output selected to it. If all your displays are the same, or all displays are
capable of running at the same resolution then this step does not matter.
You can also use a DVI Detective to eliminate the need to have that matrix select-
ed to the computer during bootup.

RMT16-IR INSTALLATION
1. Remove battery cover from the back of the RMT16-IR remote.
2. Verify that dip switches 1 & 2 are in the down (OFF) position.
3. Insert the battery, hold the battery so that you can see the positive side facing up.
The side that is not marked must be facing down.
4. Test the RMT16-IR remote by pressing ONLY one button at a time. The indicator
light on the remote will flash once each time you press a button. WARNING: Do not
press multiple buttons simultaneously and do NOT press buttons rapidly. These
actions will cause the remote to reset and steps 1-4 will have to be repeated.
*Note: The RMT16-IR ships with two batteries. One battery is required for operation,
the second battery is complimentary.

IR CODES
In the event of IR conflicts, please do the following:
1. Remove the battery cover from the back of the RMT16-IR remote.
2. Locate the Dip Switches above the batteries
3. Switch the Dip Switches on the RMT16-IR to any of the combinations pictured below.
4. Dip Switches 1 and 2 in the RMT16-IR correspond with Dip Switches 1 and 2
(Hidden behind metallic tape) inside the 4x4 DVIKVM Matrix respectively. Switch the
switches inside the 4x4 DVIKVM Matrix to match the same Remote Channel as the
RMT16-IR

RMT-MATRIX-444 INSTALLATION (OPTIONAL)
You can use up to 4 RMT-MATRIX-444 units to extend switching functionality to remote
locations. Each unit will allow the user to switch their one display between the 4 inputs
on the DVIKVM-444N. Follw these steps for each RMT-MATRIX-444 that will be used
in your setup.
1. Connect a CAT5/6 cable between the RMT-MATRIX-444 and one of the CAT5 ports
on the rear of the DVIKVM-444N. The ports are labeled as RMTA, B, C, and D and
correspond with DVI out ports 1, 2, 3, and 4.
2. Use the contact buttons on the RMT-MATRIX-444 to switch between the different
inputs connected to the DVIKVM-444N. Optionally, you can use a RMT-4IR (infrared
remote) in conjunction with the RMT-MATRIX-444 to switch inputs from a distance.
