SmartAVI DVR16X16 Matrix DVI Switch

Designed for high-demand AV setups, SmartAVI's DVR16X16 Matrix DVI Switch offers non-blocking, scalable video routing that simplifies how you distribute digital content across multiple displays and computers. This powerful DVI router enables up to 16 computer stations to access any of the 16 CPUs or displays instantly, whether the routing is performed directly or remotely. Control is versatile and reliable, with RS-232 commands, IR, USB, and TCP/IP support, giving you flexible management from local consoles or networked devices. Built for performance and ease of integration, the DVR16X16 is ideal for control rooms, educational labs, corporate AV systems, broadcast workflows, and large digital signage networks where fast, deterministic routing matters. Its streamlined design minimizes latency while maximizing routing options, helping you keep critical information in sync across the entire installation.

  • Non-blocking 16x16 DVI routing: Route any of 16 inputs to any of 16 outputs simultaneously without signal contention or delays, ensuring smooth playback across all displays.
  • Flexible control options: Access and manage video routing via RS-232 serial commands, IR remote control, USB local control, or TCP/IP network commands for centralized or remote operation.
  • Universal access to CPUs and displays: Quickly connect any computer station to any monitor or display, enabling fast reconfiguration for multi-user environments, classroom labs, or broadcast setups.
  • Robust, enterprise-grade design: Built for continuous operation in demanding environments with a compact 1U rack-mountable chassis that fits neatly into standard AV rack systems.
  • Scalable solution for growing installs: Start with a compact setup and expand across more inputs/outputs as needed, preserving investment with a flexible routing backbone.

How to Install SmartAVI DVR16X16 Matrix DVI Switch

  • Step 1: Place the DVR16X16 in a suitable rack or shelf in your AV cabinet. Ensure adequate ventilation and access to power, control interfaces, and connections.
  • Step 2: Connect your 16 DVI video sources to the corresponding 16 inputs on the switch using high-quality DVI cables. Verify that each source is powered on and configured for the desired output standards.
  • Step 3: Connect 16 displays to the 16 DVI outputs. Use displays that are compatible with the DVI signal and confirm that the cable runs are within recommended lengths to preserve signal integrity.
  • Step 4: Establish control connections. Attach an RS-232 controller or PC, point an IR receiver at the unit or install an IR blaster if remote IR control is needed, connect a USB cable for local control, and connect to your network for TCP/IP management if desired.
  • Step 5: Power the unit and perform initial routing tests. Use the RS-232 commands, TCP/IP interface, or the USB/IR controls to route familiar source-to-display paths and confirm that each output mirrors the intended input.
  • Step 6: Save your routing map and create a routing schedule or presets if supported. Document routing configurations for easy recall during routine operations or after firmware updates.
  • Step 7: Integrate with your control system or automation software. If you are using a networked interface, ensure proper IP addressing, firewall rules, and user permissions are configured for secure access.
  • Step 8: Perform a full verification across all inputs and outputs to verify there is no signal degradation, latency, or cross-talk. Fine-tune routing for reliability in a live environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the SmartAVI DVR16X16 Matrix DVI Switch?
    It is a non-blocking DVI matrix routing switch that lets you connect 16 video sources to 16 displays, with flexible control options (RS-232, IR, USB, TCP/IP) to route any input to any output in real time.
  • Does this device carry audio along with video?
    DVI is primarily video-only in most configurations. The DVR16X16 focuses on video routing; if audio is required, use a separate audio matrix or alternative pathways synchronized with the video routing schedule.
  • What control methods are supported?
    You can control routing via RS-232 serial, IR remote, USB local control, and TCP/IP network control, giving you both local and remote management capabilities.
  • What resolutions support the DVR16X16?
    The switch supports up to 1920x1200 at 60 Hz per output, ensuring sharp digital video across all connected displays for typical desktop and presentation workloads.
  • Is the DVR16X16 rack-mountable and durable for professional use?
    Yes. It comes in a 1U rack-mountable chassis designed for integration into standard AV racks, with a robust build intended for continuous operation in control rooms and broadcast environments.
  • How do I get started with network control?
    Connect the unit to your local network via TCP/IP, then use the provided API, web interface, or compatible control software to create routing presets, monitor status, and automate switching.
  • What is the expected maintenance or warranty?
    Most SmartAVI products include a limited warranty (commonly around 1 year) and support options. Check the official warranty terms for your specific purchase and region.
