USING THE SmartControl SOFTWARE
RS-232: Controlling the HDR16X16 has never been simpler with SmartControl software. With SmartCon-
trol, you can assign a unique name to each port on the HDR16X16, as well as each display, customizing
projects to meet your needs. Although all the functions of the matrix are available locally on the front
panel of the HDR16X16, using SmartControl allows for customization of all the matrix functions.
Download the Smart Control Pro software from the Smart-AVI website. www.smartavi.com
Double click SmartControlPro-v5-0-03_Installer.exe in order to initiate software installation.
Click Install. After installation has completed, click CLOSE.
In order to use the software, click on the START button>Programs>SmartControl Pro.
There you should see a help file, the SmartControl Pro launcher as well as a shortcut to uninstall
SmartControl Pro.
Click on SmartControl Pro in order to launch the software. When the software starts you will see a
screen like this:
Advanced Configuration:
If you have more than one Router in-
stalled you will want to check this box.
Router Type:
Select DVR 8X8
Inputs/Outputs:
Enter the number of Inputs/Outputs your HDR16X16 has.
The HDR16X16 can have up to 16 inputs and 16 outputs.
Com Port:
See the section in this manual on establishing an RS-232 connection for instructions on how to identify
the com port number.
Router Time out:
This field is set to 0 by default, meaning the computer acknowledges commands almost instantly. Some-
times a computer takes longer to respond. This setting should be left at 0. If you need to change it, it
should be no higher than 0.2.
After you have entered in the necessary information click OK. This will now take you to the Main Routing
Window where you can route the different video/audio connections.
