FDX-16 User's Guide
2 Product outline
Caution: The FDX-16 outputs continuous invisible light, which may be harmful to your eyes. Please follow the
following cautions.
● Do not look into the rear panel fiber optic cable connectors or into the fiber optic cables
themselves.
● Plug the attached dust caps into the optical transceivers when the fiber cable is unplugged.
FDX-16 has 16 inputs and 16 outputs. Since this HDMI/DVI Digital Matrix Switcher supports HDCP, video
whose copyright is protected, such as Blu-ray, can be input. HDMI signals can also be input via a conversion
cable.
Combining a twisted pair or optical I/O slot board that supports a long-distance extension enables simple
configurations around the matrix switcher.
The FDX has RS-232C and LAN as its communication ports for external control so that you can control each
setting remotely.
