INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the Gefen 4x1 DVI Switcher. Your complete

satisfaction is very important to us.

Gefen

Gefen delivers innovative, progressive computer and electronics add-on solutions

that harness integration, extension, distribution and conversion technologies.

Gefen’s reliable, plug-and-play products supplement cross-platform computer

systems, professional audio/video environments and HDTV systems of all sizes

with hard-working solutions that are easy to implement and simple to operate.

The Gefen 4x1 DVI Switcher

The rack-mountable Gefen 4x1 DVI Switcher offers an economical solution by

eliminating the need to purchase many displays for each DVI source in a studio

or lab situation. A plug-and-play solution, the 4x1 DVI Switcher shares one DVI

display with up to four computers or other DVI video sources, saving space on

your desktop. The source computer is selected using the included IR remote

control or through RS-232 control.

How It Works

The DVI monitor is connected to the switcher’s output. Up to four DVI sources

connect to the switcher’s DVI inputs using included high quality DVI cables.

The included power supply is connected to the switcher via the locking power

plug and then to a power outlet. The currently selected computer’s video signal

appears on the shared monitor. Video sources are selected/switched using the

RMT-4IR remote control, RS-232 control, or the input selector push button on the

front panel of the switcher.

OPERATION NOTES

• The 4x1 DVI Switcher is housed in a metal box for better RF shielding.

• Computers must be turned on one at a time and the switcher must be

corresponding numbered input source on the DVI output.

4 Power Indicator LED (Front Panel)

Indicates when the 4x1 DVI Switcher is correctly operating after receiving 5V DC

power from itsAC power supply (included).

5 5V Power Input Jack (Back Panel)

7 DVI Output Port (Back Panel)

This DVI output port is connected to the display device (Monitor, Projector).

8 RS-232 Serial Communications Interface (Back Panel)

Provided for external control of the 4x1 DVI Switcher. Please see the section

the Switcher via RS-232 protocols.

9 IR Extender Port (Back Panel)

This jack allows connection of an optional IR extension cable and IR eye, Gefen

Part No. EXT-RMT-EXTIR. The IR Extender allows the 4x1 DVI Switcher to

be located up to 6 feet away from the IR Eye behind furniture or otherwise

concealed in an unobtrusive location with only the IR Eye showing.

CONNECTING AND OPERATING THE 4X1 DVI SWITCHER

How to Connect the 4x1 DVI Switcher to your devices:

1. Connect the supplied DVI cables from the DVI sources into the 4x1 DVI

Switcher’s Inputs.

2. Connect the cable from your display (monitor or projector) into the DVI Out

of the 4x1 DVI Switcher.

3. Connect the included 5V power supply, then plug it into the wall. Turn on the

DVI display or projector ﬁrst, then the video sources. Turn on the 4x1 DVI

Switcher by screwing its 5V DC power supply tip into the receptacle in the

rear of the chassis.

Note: Computers must be turned on one at a time and the switcher must

be selected to the computer that is booting up. This is so that monitor

information (EDID) can be transmitted from the display to each computer.

After one computer completes the startup process, you can boot up the

second computer and repeat the process with the remaining computers.

This can be avoided with the use of the LOCAL EDID mode (page 11)

that will constantly supply each computer with an EDID. In this scenario, a

stored EDID, or user uploaded EDID, is supplied to each input for use by

the connected source device. Then, each computer can boot up in any order

and at anytime, regardless of which computer the switch is selected to.

How to Operate the 4x1 DVI Switcher:

4. Use the RMT-4IR remote control to remotely switch between DVI video

sources.

5. Alternatively, use a RS-232 control system such as a PC with

communications software (for example, Microsoft’s Hyperterminaltm) or an

automated control system such as Crestron.tm
