IR operations
As IR signal can be transmitted bi-directionally between the switcher and the HDBT receiver, it is able to use the IR remote to control the switcher or HDMI source devices.

1. Control far-end device locally
   To control the switcher or remote display device by using corresponding remote controller
   

2. Control local device from remote
   To control the switcher or local source device by using the corresponding remote controller.

Auto-Switching function

The switcher has auto-switching and manual-switching modes. When the user select auto-switching mode, It will follows the following principles:

New input principle
Once a new input signal is detected, the switcher will switch to this new signal automatically.

Power rebooting principle
The switcher offers the function to remember the signal last used before powering off. Once rebooted, it will automatically enter auto-switching mode, and then detect all inputs and memorize their connection status for future reboots. If the last used  input signal is still available, then it will choose that signal. If not, it will detect all input signals with priority on HDMI1->HDMI2->HDMI3->DP->VGA (YPbPr/CVBS).

Signal removing principle
Once the current signal is removed, the switcher will detect all input signals with priority on HDMI1->HDMI2->HDMI3->DP->VGA (YPbPr/CVBS). It will transfer the first signal detected to the output.

Notice : Auto-switching function works only when there is a new input signal or if an input signal is removed.

VGA/YPbPr/CVBS input

The VGA input port is a multiple format port. It supports VGA/YPbPr/CVBS input signal. The switcher will auto detect the input signal type and format. The user can use the convert cable for YPbPr or CVBS signal input.

Connection of Microphone

The switcher provides one 2-level microphone input to accommodate different
microphone input modes, including 48V phantom power mode, MIC mode and Line Mode.

48V mode
When switched to “48V” (It has a good frequency characteristic, high input
impedance and high sensitivity in this mode), the MIC input will provide a 48V phantom power. This is only used for 48V condenser microphones.

Unbalanced connection:

“+” and “ ” connect to ground, and “-” connects to signal.
“-” and “ ” connect to ground, and “+” connects to signal.

Balanced Connections: “+” connects to positive, “-” connects to negative and

“ ” to ground.

MIC mode
When switched to “MIC” (It has a low frequency characteristic, and wide frequency response in this mode), the microphone input is used for connecting dynamic microphones and electrets condenser microphone. There are two different connections:

Unbalanced connection:

“+” and “ ” connect to ground, and “-” connects to signal.
“-” and “ ” connect to ground, and “+” connects to signal.

Balanced connection: “+” connects to positive, “-” connects to negative and

“ ”connects to ground.

Line mode
When switched to “LINE” (It has a low frequency characteristic, and wide frequency response in this mode), the microphone input is used for connecting line audio or wireless microphones. There are two different connections:

Unbalanced connection:

“+” and “ ” connect to ground, and “-” connects to signal.
“-” and “ ” connect to ground, and “+” connects to signal.

Balanced connection: “+” connects to positive, “-” connects to negative and
“ ”connects to ground.

Operations of RS-232 Control

As RS-232 can be transmitted bi-directionally between the switcher and the HDBaseT receiver, it is able to control a third-party RS-232 device locally or control the compact switcher bidirectionally.

1. Control the Switcher or 3rd Party Device from Local
   

2. ) Control the Switcher or 3rd Party Device from remote Receiver
   

3. RS-232 Controller
   Please connect the switcher with input devices and output device needed, then connect it with a computer that is installed with RS-232 control software (attention: the switcher RS-232 port settings must same with the software settings ,eg: baud rate, data bits ,parity ,stop bits). Double-click the software (Hercules) icon to run this software on your computer. The interface of the control software is showed as below:
