Application Notes

How to Connect 32 ST-2FODVI-LC DVI Extenders to the DVI Matrix Switch Outputs and Eliminate All Local Unit Power Supplies

The SM-32X32-DVI-LCD-5V16A features internal power supplies that provide 5VDC power to all outputs on the matrix switch. This enables the switch to power all connected ST-2FODVI-LC local units, eliminating the need to connect a power supply to each local unit. Instead, only one power supply at each remote unit is required. Up to 32 ST-2FODVI-LC extenders can be connected to the matrix switch to extend DVI signals up to 4,920 feet away.
How to Connect, Switch, and Extend HDMI Sources and Displays with Embedded Audio

The SM-nXm-DVI-LCD is able to transmit HDMI audio and video using the DVI-HD-xx-MM male DVI-D to male HDMI cable. As the embedded audio will pass through the switch with this cable, both audio and non-audio versions of the matrix switch can be used.

The output signal can be extended using the HDMI HDBase-T Extender (ST-C6HD-HDBT) to up to 600 feet away over CAT6a/7 solid cable. Only one power supply is necessary to power both the local and remote units.
How to Switch Up to 32 Inputs into 1 Quad Screen Multiviewer

The HDMI Quad Screen Splitter/Multiviewer (SPLITMUX-HD-4RT) can be used with the DVI Matrix Switch (SM-nXm-DVI-LCD) to allow a selection of 4 sources out of up to 32 inputs to be displayed on the multiviewer output. Multiple DVI sources are connected to the input of the DVI Matrix Switch. A DVI to HDMI cable (DVI-HD-xx-MM) cable is required to connect four DVI Matrix Switch outputs to the Multiviewer inputs, and the Multiviewer output is connected to a single display.

With this configuration, up to 32 DVI sources can be switched to the four Multiviewer inputs that will be displayed on a single monitor. In the diagram example, source 1, 4, 6, and 8 have been switched to feed to DVI Matrix Switch outputs 1-4, and they are displayed in quadrants on the single display.

Testimonials

"We are using the NTI VEEMUX® SM-8X8-DVI-LCD DVI switcher to switch between 4 Mac Pro towers, an SDI to DVI converter, a Blu-ray Disc player, and laptop via a Denon AVR receiver in a high-end Dolby Atmos Dub stage that I designed and co-integrated with Dolby Laboratories. The NTI matrix switcher is controlled via a custom-designed AMX panel user-interface, which I also designed. The matrix switcher is also going to a multiviewer, because the dub stage also serves as a sound classroom. The SM-8X8-DVI-LCD has proven to be reliable and very configurable. I also love the web GUI for its informational feedback."

"We are very happy with the purchase of the SM-32X32-DVI-LCD matrix switch. We are currently using it to route 12 different inputs to 19 different outputs. The web portal really makes setting up how the different inputs get mapped really easy."

"I have ordered and installed a couple of the SM-8X8-DVI-LCD video matrix switches now. In both project cases, the schools felt the product was a great fit for classroom training because they needed to show different functions to discuss, such as Radar, Conning, ECDIS, Power Point Presentations, etc. The VEEMUX video matrix switch made it easy for the instructor and lab lecturer to discuss different topics."
