Switching Video Inputs
1.)
Single Window Layout Mode:
Use the button on the front panel or on the IR remote to set
the unit to Single Window Layout Mode. The button indicator for window position 1 and the
indicator for the selected input will light up. By default, HDMI 1 is assigned to window 1.
2.)
Select a Video Input:
Press an input button on the front panel or on the IR remote.
3.)
Front Panel Status:
After the seamless switch has been performed, the selected input indicator
will be lit. Please note that seamless switching is only available in Single Window Layout Mode.
MultiViewer Setup and Switching
1.)
Select a MultiViewer Window Layout:
To display multiple inputs on the screen simultaneously,
press the double ( ), triple ( ), or quadruple ( ) window buttons on the front panel or on the
IR remote. This will set the output of the unit to display two, three, or four windows. On the front
panel, Window Position Buttons 1, 2, 3, and 4 will light up depending on which windows are active.
2.)
MultiViewer Window Layouts:
The video output will now display multiple input signals in up
to 4 separate windows. The layouts are completely independent, so any switching done in one
layout will not affect the others. Any input signal can be displayed in any window. By default,
HDMI inputs 1-4 are assigned to window positions 1-4. However, the unit will store any changes
to the window position assignments.
3.)
Assigning an Input to a Window:
First, press an input button (1-7) on the front panel or on the
IR remote. Depending on which window layout is active, the video position 1, 2, 3, and 4 button
indicators will blink, showing which buttons can be selected. In this state, a selection must be
made within 5 seconds or the unit will return to normal. Next, press one of the window position
buttons on the front panel or on the IR remote to assign the selected input to that window.
Other inputs can be assigned to the other window positions using the same method.
4.)
Front Panel Status:
After the layout selection and window position assignments have been
performed, the input indicators will be off and the front panel status will return to normal.
Changing Output Resolutions
The DVI-3580a includes 2x mirrored outputs: 1x HDMI and 1x HDBaseT. These outputs support several
user-selectable resolutions (see page 8). Use any of the control methods to select the resolution.
To change output resolution using the front panel or IR remote, press the Output Resolution Selection
Button (Resolution on the IR remote). The unit will advance the selection to the next output resolution
in the sequence. Once the selection is complete, the corresponding LED will light up continuously.
The switching sequence is as follows:
Auto
(3)
4K x 2K
1080p
720p
WUXGA
UXGA
WXGA
XGA
Auto
(3)
Note 3:
When the output is set to Auto, the unit will read the EDID information from the display device and select
the available output resolution that best matches the native timing of the display. Use the Web GUI or RS-232 /
IP commands to assign EDID priority to the HDMI output or the HDBaseT output.
Audio Capabilities
The unit supports audio embedding and de-embedded audio. It includes multiple audio output options.
The IR remote includes a button to Mute / Un-Mute the output audio. See the User Manual for full details.
