Controlling the AVRouter 8x8

There are multiple ways to control the AVRouter 8x8. You can operate the router via:

Input/Output Control

By using the Input/Output Select buttons on the front panel of the AVRouter 8x8, you 

can select which input port goes to which output port(s) of the device. This will have 

your digital signage up and running quickly and easily. If the router is powered off, you 

will need to manually set up the input/output settings again to your specifications.

Note:

 If you use Mac rather than PC, or do not wish to install the CD-ROM software, 

the AVRouter 8x8 hardware can be programmed and controlled without it.

Connect a serial cable from the AVRouter 8x8 to the control computer. If you  

have installed the CD-ROM on a laptop, you can use a serial-to-USB adapter  to 

make this connection.
Connect up to 8 computers containing your video content to the “video in” 

ports 

of the AVRouter 8x8, using VGA male to male extension cables. (same 

for the 

audio cables using 3.5mm stereo jack)

Connect up to 8 display monitors to the “video out” ports of the AVRouter 8x8, 

using XVGAI male extension cables.

Plug the power cord to the AVRouter 8x8 and turn the device on.

Turn on all computers and monitors being used.
