2 Installation
2.1 Initialization
- Conne•t the provided AC power •ord to AC power inlet and turn on the front panel switch
- The unit starts the initialization process. The message "Starting" will be shown on the LCD display.
- After 17\~20 se•, 'MATRIXPRO-II DVI 16x16 Booting •complete' message will be shown, along with hardware and firmware version information.
- The unit is now ready to receive commands from the user.
Typically, the IP address of PC ●onne-ted to the network is ●configured by a DHCP server. If the PC is ●onne-ted directly to the router, the network server will not be able to assign the IP address. In this ●ase, network information for the PC should be set manually.
The default IP address of MATRIXPRO-II DVI 16x16 is 192.168.0.246. Before •onne•ting MATRIXPRO-II DVI 16x16 to your network, please verify the availability of IP address in your network. The IP address •an be re•onfigured by front panel key button, PC program or •ommand lines over RS-232 or TCP/IP.
2.2 EDID Configuration
- EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is an information set that is provided by a display to describe its capabilities to a graphi source. It enables a graphi source to identify the onne-ted display.
- The information set includes: manufa-turer, produ-t type, phosphor or filter type, timings supported by the display, display size, luminan-e data and (for digital displays only) pixel mapping data.
- On•e the graphi• sour•e reads the information set (usually during the booting process), the EDID •onveys the optimal format for a •onne•ted display.
- The MATRIXPRO-II DVI supports storing EDID information to an EEPROM for each Input.
- The MATRIXPRO-II DVI has four methods to set EDID values
1) Default Mode: default EDID information from the factory is loaded to an input port
2) Output Copy Mode: read EDID from any target display and •opy to an input port
3) Auto Mix Mode: (The most advanced method) read all EDID information from the attached input devices. An information set optimized for all inputs is treated and used to avoid any compliant problems in the field.

4.4.9 HDCP Configure
Disabling HDCP Compatibility
By default, the MATRIXPRO-II DVI 16X16 is an HDCP •compatible Video Router. HDCP prote•ted •content received on a DVI input •onne•tor from an input source such as a Blu-ray player is processed and output on the DVI output •onne•tor(s) to an HDCP •ompliant display device.
O●●asonally, an input source whih is supplying video whih is not meant to be protected may add HDCP protection to the •content solely because it has detected that the MATRIXPRO-II DVI 16x16 is •apable of processing HDCP protected •content. In this •ase, if HDCP •compatible display devices are not used, this •content •an not be processed and output by the MATRIXPRO-II DVI Router, and the •content •an not be displayed. This has o●●urred at times when outputting •content from an Apple Ma•Book Pro via a mini-DisplayPort to a DVI-adapter.
In order to allow the use of sources such as the Ma●Book Pro to display non-HDCP protected data (for example, the show graphi●s) with standard non-HDCP ●ompliant displays, we have added the ability to disable HDCP ●ompatibility in the MATRIXPRO-II DVI 16x16 Router. Please note that this new feature DOES NOT allow output of HDCP protected content to non-HDCP ●ompliant devices. It simply allows the user to force the MATRIXPRO-II DVI to behave as a non-HDCP ●compatible device.

9 HDCP notes
HDCP stands for High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection, an industry-wide copy protection scheme that is used to prevent the potential interception of digital data between the source (e.g., a Blu-Ray player) and the target display (e.g., an HDCP compliant display or monitor). The HDCP format was designed by Intel®, and it uses an "authentication and key exchange" procedure to accomplish the required protection. For proper implementation, products that are compatible with the HDCP format require a seizure on connection to a compliant display, such as a projector or monitor.
In applications in which the DVI router is used, when an HDCP compliant device is •onne•ted to the router, an HDCP "session" is •reated. In this session (which is transparent to the user), "keys" are ex•hanged between the source device (e.g., a Blu-Ray player) and the HDCP compliant display.
The source device queries the display to ensure that the equipment is HDCP •ompliant before video is shown. Non-HDCP equipment such as PCs will work with any DVI •ompliant display, but HDCP •ompliant equipment only shows “prote-ted” •ontent on HDCP •ompliant displays.
