feet away from the work area. The ex•tend•it line offers solutions for noise, space and

security concerns, data center control, information distribution, conference room presen-

tation, and school and corporate training environments.

CONNECTING AND OPERATING THE 4x1 DVI DL SWITCHER

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

1- Connect the supplied cables from your ﬁrst computer into the DVI In 1, USB In 1,

and Audio In 1 connection in the back of the DVI Switcher.

2- Repeat step one for up to four computers on inputs 2-4.

3- Connect the monitor to the DVI Out connection.

4- Connect your USB devices (e.g. keyboard, mouse) into the USB Out.

5- Connect your speakers to the Audio Out.

6- Plug the 5VDC power supply into the 4x1 DVI DL Switcher.

How to Operate the 4x1 DVI DL Switcher

1- Use the RMT4-IR remote control port to remotely switch between sources.

2- Use the RS-232 interface with a compliant device to switch between sources.

RMT4-IR INSTALLATION

1. Remove battery cover from the back of the RMT4-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 RMT4-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 RMT4-IR ships with two batteries. One battery is required for operation, the

second battery is complimentary.

How to Operate the IR Extender Eye (optional)

Plug in the IR extender eye to the extender port on the back of the switcher. As soon as

the IR extender eye is plugged in you can extend your IR signal. The IR extender eye

does not come included in the package.

DIP SWITCH GUIDE

if you are experiencing Infrared interference, you can change the IR code on the Re-

mote and the 4x1 DVI DL Switcher itself.

To change the IR code on the RMT4-IR, simply remove the battery cover and ﬁnd the 2

dip switches just above the batteries. These switches correspond to a set of switches

on the 4x1 DVI DL Switcher.

To change the IR code on the 4x1 DVI DL Switcher, look under the unit and ﬁnd a silver

sticker. Beneath this sticker is a group of 4 dip switches. The ﬁrst 2 switches (labelled 1

and 2) correspond to the 2 switches found on the RMT4-IR remote control.

The following are the 4 Infrared channels possible for both the RMT4-IR and the

4x1 DVI DL Switcher. The dip switches on both the remote and the switcher itself must

match in order to be operational.

Channel 0:

Channel 1:

Channel 2:

Channel 3:

USB

If your USB stops functioning correctly, you can manually re-initialize the USB hub in

the switch by pushing twice on the channel select button, that corresponds with the

channel that the switcher is pointed at, on the front of the unit. This will cause the

channel selected LED to blink once letting you know the USB hub has been

re-initialized.

To have the USB re-initialize automatically every time you switch, look under the 4x1

DVI Switcher and locate the blank sticker. Peel it off to reveal a bank of four dip switch-

es. Find the dip switch labeled “4” and ﬂip it to the ON position. Now every time you

switch the hub will re-initialize itself.

Video

When turning on or rebooting your computers, the 4x1 DVI DL Switcher must be se-

lected to the computer that is booting until the computer completes the boot cycle. This

step can be eliminated using the Gefen DVI Detective.

If you loose your picture when you switch between sources you will need a DVI

Detective.

To switch between Dual Link and Single Link sources, a Single Link cable (sold

separately) must be used for each Single Link source connected to the switcher.
