IR Control System

The product is not only a matrix switch but also an extender. It supports bi- directional IR control. When Matrix is connected to HDBaseT Receiver through Cat 5e/6/7 cable, you can control remote display device (HDBaseT) or input source device (Matrix) through IR signal transmission. But you must note that the IR signal transmission method is different from the method from Matrix (local) to HDBaseT Receiver (remote) and from HDBaseT Receiver (remote) to Matrix (local).

At the Matrix end (Local end): the IR signal is one-to-one transmission. For example, the IR IN 1 port signal of the Matrix will emit to IR OUT port of the HDBaseTReceiver 1, and the
IR IN 3 port signal of the Matrix will emit to IR OUT port of the HDBaseTReceiver 3. It doesn’t follow the video switch to change.IR IN ALL port signal of the Matrix will emit to all IR OUT ports of HDBaseT receivers simultaneously. Please see the following connection diagram.

At HDBaseT receiver (Remote end): IR signal follows video switch to change. For example, the HDMI output signal on the HDBaseT Receiver 1 is from the HDMI INPUT 2 port, so IR input signal of the HDBaseT Receiver 1 will emit to IR OUT 2 port of the Matrix. The HDMI output signal on the HDBaseT Receiver 3 is from the HDMI INPUT 4 port. Then, IR input signal of the HDBaseT Receiver 3 will emit to IR OUT 4 port of the Matrix etc. Any of HDBaseT Receiver’s IR IN signal can output from IR OUT ALL port of the Matrix and the IR OUT ALL signal of the Matrix depends on your IR remote of source device. Please see the following connection diagram.

EDID Management
This Matrix has 21 factory defined EDID settings, 2 user-defined EDID modes and 8 copy EDID modes. You can select defined EDID mode or copy EDID mode to input port through on-panel button, RS-232 control or Web GUI.
On-panel button operation: On the initial display screen, press “MENU” button to enter the EDID setting interface, press “UP/DOWN” button to select the required EDID, and press the “ENTER” button to enter “Copy to Input:” interface. Then press “UP/DOWN” button to select the input port you need to set, and press “ENTER” button again to confirm this operation.

RS-232 control operation: Connect the Matrix to PC with a serial cable, then open a Serial Command tool on PC to send ASCII command “s edid in x from z!” to set EDID. For details, please refer to “EDID Setting” in the ASCII command list of “12. RS-232 Control Command”.
Web GUI Operation: Please check the EDID management in the “Input page” of “11. Web GUI User Guide”.
