Overview
At times multiple AV signals need to be transferred to multiple nearby ouput monitors. The HDTV
Router allows multiple VGA/audio inputs to be routed to multiple outputs simultaneously, by way of
a direct connection into the router.
The HDTV Router is a high-quality switching matrix for VGA type signals. All signal formats are catered
for including VGA, SVGA, XGA, RGBHV and sync on green (SOG) applications. For ease of installation,
Standard VGA connectors (HD15 sockets) are used for the input as well as the output video signal. All
that is required is a standard pin-to-pin VGA cable to connect to the signal source.
Stereo audio can also be routed to multiple outputs. The audio can either be routed independently or
together with the video signal using the SmartControl software that is very easy to use.
Note: for maximum signal performance, use only high quality cable that has internal coaxial cable for
each color.
The units contain a very high bandwidth routing matrix for the Red, Green and Blue video channels.

Chapter 2: Installation
Connecting the HDTV Router (Detailed Instructions)
Video and Audio Inputs
The video input for the HDTV Router is a standard HD15 connection.
Connect all of the Input video sources to the back of the HDTV Router unit.
Hint: You may want to label the input video connections so as not to lose track of where
the signal is coming from. Later on when the software is installed you will be able to give
each connection a name and the software will remember it for you. This way you can
switch the video connections without having to look at the physical connections on the
back of the unit. (You can also use the included page at the end of this manual in order
to keep track of the connections as you make them.)
The audio inputs for the HDTV Router are standard 3.5 mm Stereo Miniplug connectors.
Connect all of the audio inputs to the back of the HDTV Router unit. Many computer audio
sources use this standard connection but there is other equipment such as receivers, and
VCRs where a special adapter cable will be needed. Such as a 3.5mm miniplug to stereo RCA
cable.
Make sure that the audio and video are coming from the same source and are plugged the
same input number. For example, if the audio from one computer is connected to input 1,
then the video should also be connected to input 1.
Video and Audio Outputs
The video and audio connections for the HDTV Router outputs are exactly the same. The only differ-
ence is that they are located on the left side of the back panel
Connect all of the external video monitors and corresponding speakers to the output
connections located on the back of the SuperMatrix unit.

Chapter 3: Software Installation & Operation
Advanced Configuration: If you have more than one Router installed you will want to check this
box.
Router Type: Select SuperMatrix.
A/V Split: Check this box if you need to route audio and video independently, regardless from
which source they originated from. Leave unchecked if you want audio and video signals from the
same input to remain together.
For example, if you wanted to route different video feeds to different locations but wanted all of
them to have the same audio, you should check the box.
Find the Installation CD that came with your HDTV Router unit. This CD has the SmartControl
software that you will need in order to control the unit using a computer.
Insert the CD into your CD-ROM. On the CD you should see:
SmartControl Installer.exe

has completed, click CLOSE.
In order to use the software, click on the START button>Programs>SmartControl. There you should
see a help file, the SmartControl launcher as well as a shortcut to uninstall SmartControl. Click on
SmartControl in order to launch the software.
