HARDWARE INSTALLATION

The power connection and switch are located at the back of the unit as well as the RS-232 connection and all HDMI and USB input and output. Connect all peripheral devices first and turn them on before powering on the HDMV-16X- Plus. The control software uses HDMI input port numbers that differ from those marked on the back panel. The HDMI input port numbers you must use with the control software have been added to the back photo for clarity. See Figure 6-1.

USING THE FRONT PANEL BUTTONS

To switch Input Channels, press the desired button on the front panel. The green LED above that button will light up to indicate that the specified channel now has control of the keyboard and mouse.

To access the control menu to change the View Mode, press and hold buttons 8 and 16 on the front panel (labeled “Mode Select”) for 2 seconds, this will cause the 3 display buttons to blink. Selecting any of those 3 buttons will change the view mode to the desired mode. The blue light from the bottom buttons labeled Full Screen, Quad, and 16X modes will indicate the current Display mode. See Figures 7-1 and 7-2.

Modes

| Full Screen Mode – In the Full Screen mode, one of sixteen video sources are displayed in full screen size and maximum resolution.
---|---
| Quad Screen Mode – In the Quad Screen mode, the screen is split into four fields of equal size with four video sources displayed in each field.
| 16x Mode – In the 16x mode, the screen displays all sources in a four by four matrix.

KVM OPERATION

To enable KVM functionality connect a USB keyboard to the USB slot on the back panel indicated by the keyboard symbol and connect a USB mouse to the USB slot on the back panel indicated by the mouse symbol. See Figure 6-2 on page 6 for these locations. Connect all computers or peripherals with a USB keyboard or mouse to the HDMV-16X-Plus USB inputs shown on page 6, figure 6-2 with a USB type A to type B cable.

KVM CONTROL (Hotkeys)

KVM control can be granted through RS-232 operation, detailed in the next section, or through the KVM keyboard directly. Furthermore, in full screen mode, KVM control is always granted to the selected user. To grant KVM control through the KVM keyboard among other functions, refer to Figure 9-1.

RS-232 CONTROL

The HDMV-16X-PLUS may also be controlled via RS-232 commands; this feature requires an RS-232 card installed on your computer or a USB to RS-232 adapter. First connect the RS-232 cable (straight thru pin out) between your PC and the HDMV-16X-PLUS. Different connections can be seen in Figure 9-2.

Next connect to the device using PuTTY, HyperTerminal or a similar application. This software or download links can be found on the Smart-AVI website. Use the following settings for the connection: 9600 baud rate, no parity bits, 8 data bits, one stop bit, and no flow control.

Once connected and enabled, refer to Figure 10-1 for console commands.
