Search Tips...

Keyword Search
Our search engine uses any or all keywords typed in the text box to give you product search results.
For instance, typing in kvm will give you a broader set of results than kvm switch cables.

Note, however, that keywords in quotes are treated as a single phrase and will not be evaluated individually.

Booleans (AND, +, OR, NOT, -) are not supported.

Also, some keywords will not return results, and may automatically correct to a similar keyword.

Part Number Search Selection
Select this Search in the drop down box to search by part number instead of keywords.

Wild Card Search
The * character is only supported in a limited capacity. Using whole words is the best approach whenever possible.

"New Search" Radio Button
Search the entire section that you are currently in.

"Search Within Results" Radio Button
Enter keywords or a part number to limit your results within the previously searched results.


Other features

A list of all matching product categories or resources will appear in the upper left corner of the results page, when applicable, to help you further narrow your results, if you desire.

Use the "sort by" drop-down menu on the results page to sort by "most popular" and price (low to high or high to low)
in the store section.

  • Description

    DVI-D Matrix Switch, 8 x 8


    Quick Facts

  • Easily route video from eight DVI sources to eight DVI display devices (LCDs, plasma screens, projectors).
  • Supports resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz, including 1080p HDTV displays.
  • Links to DVI sources up to 114.8 feet (35 m) away without any video degradation.

  • Further Details

  • Each video input port supports EDID emulation for optimized source-to-display communications.
  • User friendly. Easy to configure through its front-panel display interface.
  • Control via a TCP/IP Ethernet or RS-232 connection, or using its front panel.
  • Works in point-to-point or multipoint applications.
  • Ideal for digital signage, broadcasting studio, multimedia conference, and classroom applications.
  • Slim design. Includes hardware for mounting in 1U of rack space.
  • RoHS compliant.

  • Distribute digital video from eight PCs, servers, DVD players, HDTV players, or other DVI sources to eight DVI displays or projectors with the Black Box® DVI-D Matrix Switch, 8 x 8.

    Any input can be directed to any output, making the switch the ideal solution for point-to-point to multipoint applications. It’s particularly useful in any digital signage or distributed video application whether you need to frequently reroute source input for screen output—whether at the switch itself or from a remote console on a network.

    The DVI-D Matrix Switch supports resolutions from 640 x 480 up to 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz, including HDTV resolutions of 720p, 1080i, and 1080p. Use it anywhere you need high-definition video switching, such as multimedia conference rooms and healthcare imaging applications, and government command and control centers.

    The system can be used with the newest panels featuring EDID capabilities, so your source devices can optimize video for the connected displays. Each video input port on the matrix switch supports EDID emulation. Plus, it supports HDCP feed-through in point-to-point applications.

    It even works as an DVI extender to source devices. A built-in equalizer preserves video quality on long runs from the switch to your PCs, servers, or media players—which can be as far as 114.8 feet (35 m) away. This makes the DVI-D Matrix Switch great for remote display or digital signage applications where you want to distribute images from a central secure room to public or non-secure areas.

    The DVI-D Matrix Switch offers easy configuration and control. Its 2-line, vacuum-fluorescent display with an intuitive menu leads you through video switch settings and monitors the status of each port. To switch, use its 16 front-panel push buttons, a serial RS-232 console link, or a 10-/100-Mbps Ethernet TCP/IP network. It features a built-in Web server and uses ICMP (ping) and Telnet for remote control.
