Introduction
Our non-blocking matrix switch provides an
easy and dynamic approach to creating multiple
computer stations, each having the ability of
accessing any one of the CPU’s or displays instantly,
either directly or remotely using RS232 commands
and infrared.
The SmartAVI DVI 4x4 router provides single-link
DVI operation at the maximum TMDS rate of 2 x
1.65 Gb/sec. at resolutions up to 1920x1200. The
DVI signals can be transmitted through 190 feet of
copper at the maximum TMDS rate on both the
input and output sides of the switch.
