Introduction

Presentation Powerhouse – The DVI-3580a is a high-performance 4K MultiViewer, Presentation

Switcher and Scaler. This unit is an ideal solution for system designers and facility managers facing

uncertain requirements from presenters that need AV signal distribution for a diverse range of source

devices, resolutions and signal formats. The DVI-3580a overcomes these challenges through a rich

array of input connections that supports all popular AV input signal formats, a range of user-selectable

output resolutions and innovative MultiViewer capabilities. These features provide the power

and exibility needed to adapt to the ever-changing demands of presentation rooms, classrooms,

auditoriums, conference rooms, houses of worship, and other media-rich AV environments.

Versatile Video Capabilities – This powerful presentation switcher accepts up to seven (7) video

inputs: 4x HDMI (or DVI), 2x DisplayPort and 1x RGB/YPbPr Analog (VGA). The unit supports a broad

range of input signal formats and resolutions up to 4K /60p. A powerful internal scaling engine

provides a range of user-selectable output resolutions up to 3840x2160/30p, as well as seamless

switching

(1)

of input signals. The selected input signal is routed to two mirrored outputs, 1x HDMI

and 1x HDBaseT™. The HDBaseT output is POH (Power over HDBaseT) compliant, so a compatible

receiver unit may be remotely powered from the DVI-3580a unit over the HDBaseT link. The

MultiViewer function can simultaneously display up to 4x video signals with resolutions up to 4K,

which are displayed in seven possible layouts: Single, Double, Triple, Quad 1, Quad 2, Quad 3, or

Quad 4. Any input signal can be displayed in any MultiViewer window.

Advanced Audio Routing – The DVI-3580a features audio embedding as well as de-embedded

audio outputs. Each video input is coupled with an analog stereo audio input connection. The unit

includes three audio outputs: HDMI / HDBaseT embedded audio, 8-channel (7.1) analog audio, and

TOSLINK optical audio. User-adjustable lip-sync correction is provided.

Total Control – The DVI-3580a may be controlled via a variety of options, including LAN (built-in

Web GUI or Telnet), RS-232, IR Remote Control, and Front Panel selections. The Web GUI increases

ease of setup and support through many features, including powerful EDID management capabilities.

This allows integrators to select a factory installed EDID, learn the EDID from a connected display,

upload EDID les into 7x custom memory slots, or download EDID les from the unit. These powerful

features allow the unit to be seamlessly integrated into any professional AV system.

Note 1: Seamless switching is only available in Single Window Layout Mode.

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.

HDCP Management

The DVI-3580a is HDCP v1.4 compliant. If protected content is sent to a non-compliant display, then

a full eld red screen will be shown on-screen on a per window basis. Additionally, the unit also

includes an Input HDCP setting, which can be used to prevent the HDCP acknowledgment from being

sent over the HDMI and DP inputs. This feature is useful for cases in which the source device is

incorrectly sending an HDCP encrypted signal. When this is set to Off, the source devices will view

the DVI-3580a as a non-HDCP device and operate accordingly. Content that would not normally be

copy-protected such as a computer desktop will be sent without HDCP encryption; however, as usual,

protected content (e.g. from a Blu-ray player) will not be sent.

Control Options

The unit may be controlled via several options: LAN (built-in Web GUI or Telnet), RS-232, IR Remote

Control, and Front Panel selections. The most intuitive, versatile control method is the Web GUI. To

access the Web GUI, connect to the unit using the instructions on page 3. See the User Manual for

full details on operating the Web GUI as well as the other control options. The Web GUI includes the

functions below. See the User Manual for detailed explanations on all the functions of the Web GUI.
