DVI modes and optical backup
In sending-card mode, Dual Link and Single Link DVI settings determine whether the MCTRL1600 works as two or four independent controllers. Select the mode to match the video sources and screen layout; it does not multiply the physical device’s maximum loading capacity.
Optical hot-backup mode allows one unit to send signals to two fiber converters at the same time, supporting a backup loop between the converters and receiving cards. Optical replication is a separate selectable mode. Plan the converter and receiving-card connections for the chosen arrangement.
Calibration and custom screen configuration
The MCTRL1600 supports independent RGB Gamma adjustment with 10-bit/12-bit input sources, pixel-by-pixel calibration and cascading for unified control. Ultra-high resolution settings are supported through NVIDIA computer graphics cards. The 7680-pixel limit refers to width or height, not a 7680 × 7680-pixel screen.

MCTRL1600 FAQ
What is the maximum MCTRL1600 screen resolution?
The listed maximum load is 4096 × 2160 at 60 Hz. Custom layouts can extend to 7680 pixels in either width or height while remaining within the applicable loading and input-timing limits.
Can one MCTRL1600 act as multiple controllers?
Yes. In sending-card mode, Dual Link DVI mode allows two independent controllers and Single Link DVI mode allows four.
How does the optical hot-backup mode work?
One MCTRL1600 sends signals to two fiber converters simultaneously, enabling a backup loop from the converters to the receiving cards. Use the connection diagram for the selected optical mode.
What accessories are needed for 3D display?
The listed 3D function requires an EMT200 3D transmitter and matching 3D glasses. Confirm the complete display configuration before enabling it.
Does MCTRL1600 support independent RGB Gamma adjustment?
Yes, the listed feature applies when the input source bit depth is 10-bit or 12-bit. Match the source and receiving-card setup to the relevant documentation.
