INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the 8x1 DVI KVM DL/SL Switcher. Your
complete satisfaction is very important to us.
Gefen
Gefen delivers innovative, progressive computer and electronics add-on solutions
that harness integration, extension, distribution and conversion technologies.
Gefen’s reliable, plug-and-play products supplement cross-platform computer
systems, professional audio/video environments and HDTV systems of all sizes
with hard-working solutions that are easy to implement and simple to operate.
The Gefen 8x1 DVI KVM DL/SL Switcher
The rack-mountable Gefen 8x1 dual link/single link DVI KVM Switcher offers an
economical solution by eliminating the need to purchase many displays for each
computer in a studio or lab situation. A plug-and-play solution that supports both
Macintosh and IBM-PC computers, the 8x1 DVI KVM DL/SL Switcher shares one
DVI display with up to eight computers or other DVI video sources. A single USB
2.0 port, keyboard & mouse ports, and an analog audio jack are also switched.
The switcher saves space on your desktop by eliminating a crowded workspace
full of DVI monitors, keyboards & mice, and USB and audio cables. Switching of
DVI sources is easy and reliable.
How It Works
The DVI monitor is connected to the 8x1 DVI KVM DL/SL Switcher’s output. Up
to eight DVI video sources connect to the switcher’s DVI inputs using included
high quality DVI cables. The included power supply is connected to the switcher
via the locking power plug and then to a power outlet. The currently selected DVI
video signal appears on the shared monitor. DVI Video sources (and optionally
keyboards & mice, USB and audio cables) are selected/switched using the RMT-
8IR remote control, RS-232 control, or the input selector push button on the front
panel of the switcher.

CONNECTING & OPERATING THE 8X1 DVI KVM DL/SL SWITCHER
How to Connect the 8x1 DVI KVM DL/SL Switcher to your devices:
1. Connect your computers’ DVI, USB, and Audio sources to the 8x1 DVI KVM
DL/SL Switcher inputs using the supplied cables.
2. Connect your DVI display to the DVI output of the 8x1 DVI KVM DL/SL
Switcher using a user-supplied DVI cable.
3. Connect your USB and audio devices to the USB and audio outputs with user-
supplied cables.
4. Turn on the DVI display or projector first.
5. Connect the included 5V DC power supply to the 8x1 DVI KVM DL/SL
Switcher by by screwing its 5V DC power supply tip into the receptacle in the
rear of the unit, then plug it into the wall.
6. Turn on the computer.
Note: For the first-time power-up sequence, please make sure that the display
device is turned on and connected to the 8x1 DVI KVM DL/SL Switcher before
applying power to the Switcher. The reason for this procedure is that EDID
information will only be copied from the display device to DVI sources upon
power-up. If power is applied to the Switcher before the display device is
connected and powered up, the Switcher’s last recorded EDID from previous
activity will be used.
How to Operate the 8x1 DVI KVM DL/SL Switcher:
1. Use the RMT-8IR remote control to remotely switch between DVI video
sources.
2. Alternatively, use a RS-232 control system or the front panel selection
button.
