FCC and IC RFI Statements/ FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION AND INDUSTRY CANADA RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STATEMENTS Class B Digital Device. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B computing device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy, and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or telephone reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures: • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. • Consult an experienced radio/TV technician for help. CAUTION: C hanges or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. To meet FCC requirements, shielded cables and power cords are required to connect this device to a personal computer or other Class B certified device. This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emission from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulation of Industry Canada. Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites applicables aux appareils numériques de classe B prescrites dans le Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique publié par Industrie Canada.

Chapter 2: Overview
2. Overview 2.1 IntroductionThe 4K Modular Matrix Switcher 16 x 16 is a high-performance video and audio modular matrix switcher. It supports different video signals with cross switching. Every video or audio signal is transmitted and switched independently to decrease signal attenuation. AVS1600 supports various changeable cards including HDMI, DVI, VGA, SDI, and HDBaseT etc, and all the cards support hot plug-and-play. Users can choose to insert different signal cards for different applications. AVS1600 has a power fail memory function and audio can break away from or follow the video to the switch. It has an RS-232 port for serial control and an optional IP port for TCP/IP control. It can be easily controlled by third-party devices. With its flexible design, AVS1600 can be used for different projects and is all-in-one solution. Applications include multimedia conference rooms, control rooms, broadcasting rooms, shopping centers, etc. The AVS1600 handles all the audiovisual management, including the switching, driving, scaling, etc.
2.2 Features • Modular chassis with configurable I/O slots.. •V arious I/O cards includes HDMI, HDBaseT, DVI, and VGA cards (compatible with YUV, YC, and CVBS) to configure any matrix. • True cross-point switching, any input to any output, regardless of signal format. • Supports HDMI1.4a and 3D. • Integrated HDBaseT technology. • Controllable via button, RS-232, and optional TCP/IP, also compatible with third-party control. • HDCP compliant. • LCD display.

It is also embedded with the EDID management technology. AVS-4I-HDB: Input card, with a maximum input of four HDMI TP signals. The input signal can pass to the output device through AVS-4O-HDB, or pass through other kinds of output cards that need to work with an HDBT transmitter.
Figure 2-14. AVS-4I-HDB card. NOTE: When matching with output cards that do not support 4K x 2K, adjust the output resolution to 1080p to enable reliable output. AVS-4O-HDB: Output card with a maximum of four output HDBT signals, outputs signals from AVS-4I-HDB or other kinds of input cards that need to work with an HDBT receiver.

Chapter 4: Control Operations
4. Control Operations 4.1 Front Panel Button Control Users can control the AVS1600 rapidly and directly with its front-panel buttons. Here is a brief operation guide to front panel buttons. Format: “Input Channel” + “Switch Mode” +“Output Channel” NOTES: 1. Switch Mode: Audio and Video synchronized (AV) or separate switching mode (Audio/Video). 2. Input Channel: This is the number of input channels to be controlled. 3. O utput Channel: This is the number of output channels to be controlled. Press “All” to select all the outputs. 4. The input/output channels on the rear panel are counted from left to right, top to bottom. 5. The input delay time between two numbers of every input and output channel must be less than 5 seconds; otherwise, the operation will be cancelled. Example: 1. To transfer input 1 to output 11, press input “1”, output “0” “1”. 2. To transfer signals from input 1 to all output channels, press buttons in this order: “1”, “All”. Functional Buttons: UNDO button: return to the previous status. Example: Input 6 is connected to output 6, press input “6” + “AV”+ output 4 to change the connection. Press “Undo” to enable input 6 to reconnect with output 6. <— button: If you press buttons “1”, “AV”, “2”, “<—” in order, then “2” will be canceled. THROUGH button: Provides a straight I/O connection, e.g. input 1-> output 1, input 2-> output 2. Press “Input Channel”+”Through” Example: If you press buttons “ALL”, “THROUGH” in order, then the result will be input 1—>output 1, input 2—>output 2, input 3—>output 3 … input 8—>output 8.

4.2. IR Remote Control Using the IR remote, you can control the AVS1600 remotely. The function buttons on the IR remote are the same with the ones on the front panel, and the IR remote shares the same operations and commands as the control panel. Press the buttons using this format: “Input Channel” + “Switch Mode” +“Output Channel” Input channel buttons, including 1–10+, only 1–8 are available Menu buttons, including switching buttons and function buttons Output channel buttons, including 1–10+, only 1–8 are available Input channel buttons, including 1–10+, only 1–8 are available

4.3. RS-232 Control 4.3.1 Connecting the RS-232 Communication Port Instead of the front control panel and IR remote, the AVS1600 can be controlled by a far-end control system or through the Ethernet via the RS-232 communication port. This RS-232 communication port is a female DB9 DCE connector. Its pin layout is shown in the table below. Table 4-1. DB9 connector pinout. Pin

Chapter 4: Control Operations Update built-in EDID data by sending the UpgradeIntEDID[x]. command. Examples: 1. Transfer signals from an input channel to all output channels: [x]All. Example: Send “3All.” to transfer signals from input 3 to all output channels. 2. Transfer all input signals to the corresponding output channels respectively: All#. Example: If this command is carried out, the status of the matrix will be: 1->1, 2->2, 3->3, 4->4…… 8->8. 3. Switch off all the output channels: All$. Example: After running this command, there will be no signals on all the outputs. 4. Switch off the detailed feedback command from the COM port: /:MessageOff; The switch will retain “switch OK” as feedback when you switch the matrix. 5. Switch on the detailed feedback command from the COM port: /:MessageOn; It will show the detailed switch information when it switches. Example: when switch 1->2, the feedback will be “AV01 to 02”. 6. Transfer signals from an input channel to corresponding output channel: [x]#. Example: “5#.” to transfer signals from the input5 to the output5. 7. Switch off an output channel: [x]$. Example: “5$.” to switch off the output 5. 8. S witch signal: [x1] B[x2]. Example: “1B2,3,5.” to transfer signal from the input1 to the output No. 2,3,5. 9. Connect the input channel to the output channel [x]: Status[x]. Example: Send “Status2.” to connect the input channel to the output 2. 10. Connect the input channel to the output channels one by one: Status. Example: “Status” to connect the input channel to the output channels one by one. 11. Save the present operation to the preset command [Y]: Save[Y]. Example: “Save7.” to save the present operation to the preset command No.7. 12. R ecall the preset command [Y]: Recall[Y]. Example: “Recall5.” to recall the preset command No.5. 13. Clear the preset command [Y]: Clear[Y]. Example: “Clear5.” to clear the preset command No.5.

Example: “USER/I/7:0623%;” to set the input 7 to support YPbPr signal, the card is plugged in the second input slot of the matrix. NOTE: If there is an empty input card or output card slot, send the command “ALL#.” It will show the result as 1->1, 2->2, 3->3, but actually there is no input/output signal at this card.
