for numbers 10 and above select 10+ and the number following.
Example: 10 = 10+ and 0
Menu Selection:
Choose the action you wish to perform. At this time with the
AT-HDDVI1616-AM the menu items you will use are AV, Video,
Audio and ALL. Example: Input 3 with output 5. Press #3 in the
input section, press AV, and then press #5 in the output section.
The LCD display will show the input as 3AV5 on its screen.

following. Example: 13 = 10+ and 3
Note:
Multiple outputs are not selectable through the IR Remote control
at this time. They are available through the front panel, TCP/IP
and RS-232 controls.
TCP/IP
TCP/IP is another way to control your AT-HDDVI1616-AM. Connect with an ethernet cable to your
network or computer. After connecting the cable you’ll need to configure the IP on your computer.
IP address:
Subnet mask:
Default gateway:
192.168.0.80
255.255255.0
192.168.0.1
Preferred DNS:
Alternate DNS:
202.96.134.133
202.96.128.68
Use a straight cable to connect to a router or network.
Use a crossover cable to connect directly to a computer.

TCP/IP Set Up
First Step: Configuring IP
Go to the Network Connections
folder and right click on the
connection you would like to edit.
Select Properties.
Find Internet Protocol in your list. There
will be either Version 4 or 6, if there
are both protocols choose Version 4.
Once highlighted click on the properties
Once the window comes up enter in
buttons below the list box.
the IP address, subnet mask, default
IP address: 192.168.0.80
gateway, preferred DNS server and
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
alternate DNS server information
Default gateway: 192.168.0.1
into each field.
Preferred DNS server: 202.96.134.133
Alternate DNS server: 202.96.128.68
Note: Port 80 is a placeholder, if the network already has a .80 it can be changed to one that isn’t in use.
Second Step: Adding the Matrix to a network
To change the IP of the Matrix (normally 192.168.0.178) type the matrix IP address into Internet
Explorer’s address bar. A log in screen should appear.
The password is 88888. You must press
the Login button. Pressing enter will
cause it to return with a failed password
page.

atlona.com
Select the “system info” or
“change password” buttons
to change the information for
the matrix.
Once the system info button
is selected it will switch to the
Network page. To add this to a
network, change the “0” in the
IP, Gateway, and DNS server to
“1”. Press the apply button at
the bottom of the page, then
the reset device button in the
top button menu.
Change the IP on the computer
from 192.168.0.80 to
192.168.1.80 then type the
192.168.1.178 into the address
bar. If successful the log in page
will display again.
Third Step: Using the TCP/IP software
Download the newest software for control off the web page for the AT-HDDVI1616-AM.
Unzip the file. An Atlona icon (like pictured to the left) should appear. Double click the file
to open up the control software.
The software should automatically detect the 16x16 Matrix, if you have more
than one HD Matrix from Atlona, use the drop down menu to select
AT-HDDVI1616-AM. Once selected, press either Enter to go to the control
interface or Password Setup to change/add a password for control of the matrix.
Once in the control interface there, click the TCP/IP button on the top of
the window. Enter in the IP: 192.168.0.178 (192.168.1.178 if changed)
and port 4001, if it has not already been auto-generated. If done
correctly then a pop up window will display saying “connect success!”.
Note: Both Mreset and All+Through will mirror the inputs and outputs of
the AT-HDDVI1616-AM.

EDID (Extended Display Identification Data)
EDID is the standard compatibility signal passed between most sources and video displays. It
allows the devices to make sure they support the same resolutions and timing.
The AT-HDDVI1616-AM has two EDID settings: default and learning. Default saves the
settings of 1920x1200 resolution and 2 channel audio to all outputs. The learning setting will
allow for the copying of an output’s EDID to specific inputs.
Set Up
EDID can be set up in two ways: RS-232 and the front panel.
To set up EDID through the front panel hold the <-- button for 10 seconds. Once in EDID
mode to set the matrix to default press “1”. To use Learning mode and set individual EDIDs
press “2”, the output number to copy, Enter, the input number to save to, and then press
Enter again. Repeat the learning process for all inputs until the EDID is set up as needed.
To set up EDID through RS-232 follow the steps for RS-232 set up then use the command
EDIDMx1AVx2. The x1 and x2 are place holders for output and input. If saving output 5 to
input 3 the command would be EDIDMx5AVx3. Repeat until all inputs are set up.

Default
Default is used for when all displays support 1920x1200. If a display does not support this
resolution then it will show only a black screen. (i.e. Output5 having the native resolution of
1280x720 would cause it to show only a black screen in default)

Learning
Learning EDID allows for the resolution and audio formats of a display to be saved to an input
source. Once this setting is saved it will only output that resolution and audio, which will
cause a black screen to display on any output that does not support the same settings.
In the above diagram, output5 can be saved to all 3 inputs allowing all three outputs to use
the devices at 1280x720 (most displays have multiple resolution capabilities. Outputs 2 & 11
however can only be saved to inputs 2 & 4 as their native resolutions are 1920x1200 and
input 8 is incapable of producing that resolution without a scaler.
Audio (Balanced and Unbalanced)
The AT-HDDVI1616-AM uses captive screw connectors for audio. Captive screw uses two
types of audio: balanced and unbalanced. To be sure which to use refer to the manual for the
connected device.
There are 3 connection possibilities, 2 unbalanced and 1 balanced (see picture below). When
used, a balanced input can only output balanced audio and an unbalanced input can only
output unbalanced audio but either unbalanced connection can be used.
