IR Control System

The product is not only a matrix switch but also an extender. It supports bi- directional IR control. When the Matrix is connected to the HDBaseT Receiver through Cat 6/7 cable, you can control the 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 the one-to-one transmission. For example, the IR IN 1 port signal of the Matrix will emit to IR OUTport of the HDBaseTReceiver 1, and the IR IN 3 port signal of the Matrix will emit to IR OUT port of the HDBaseT Receiver 3. It doesn’t follow the video switch to change. IR IN ALL port signal of the Matrix will emit to all IR OUTports of HDBaseT receivers simultaneously. Please see the following connection diagram.
Figure 1: IR connection diagram (Matrix end) – 9 / 30 –
At HDBaseT receiver (Remote end):
IR signal follows the video switch to change. For example, the HDMI output signal on the HDBaseTReceiver 1 is from the HDMI INPUT 2 port, so IR input signal of the HDBaseT Receiver 1 will emit to IR OUT2 port of the Matrix. The HDMI output signal on the HDBaseT Receiver 5 is from the HDMI INPUT 4 port. Then, IR input signal of the HDBaseT Receiver 5 will emit to the IR OUT 4 port of the Matrix, etc. Any of the HDBaseT Receiver’s IR IN signals can output from the IR OUTALL port of the Matrix and the IR OUT ALL signal of the Matrix depends on your IR remote of the source device. Please see the following connection diagram.

EDID Management

The Matrix has 21 factory-defined EDID settings, 2 user-defined EDID modes, and 16 copy EDID modes. You can select the defined EDID mode or copy EDID mode to the input the port through on-panel buttons, RS-232 control, or Web GUI. On-panel button operation: On the initial OLED display screen, press the “MENU” button to enter the EDID setting interface, press the “UP/DOWN” button to select the required EDID, and press the “ENTER” button to enter “Copy to Input:” interface. Then press the “UP/DOWN” button to select the input port you need to set and press the “ENTER” button again to confirm this operation.
RS-232 control operation: Connect the Matrix to the PC with a serial cable, then open a Serial Command tool on the PC to send the ASCII command “s did in x from z!” to set EDID. For details, please refer to “EDID Setting” in the ASCII command list of “11. RS-232 Control Command”.
Web GUI Operation: Please check the EDID management in the “Input page” of “10. Web GUI User Guide”.
