IR Control system (IR Call-back of Matrix and Source Devices)

The Matrix is not only a switcher and extender of multiple HDMI signals to multiple HDMI receivers located remotely, but it also passes IR control signals through the IR call-back system to the matrix and HDMI sources for full, independent control of all connected inputs from output locations.
Two-way IR Call-back between Matrix, sources, and displays from multiple locations.
A vital feature of the Matrix is discrete IR control of the Matrix, sources, and displays from any location – so inputs at the matrix end can be controlled at a display location, and displays can be controlled at the matrix location. This is accomplished by placing a series of IR Emitters on devices to control IR Receivers at all locations you wish to control from to enable the IR signal to travel both ways via the single Cat5e/ 6/7 cable.

IR control is divided into two kinds of control ways as below.
Insert the 3.5mm IR receiver cable into the IR INPUT ports at the rear of the Matrix. At the same time, insert the 3.5mm IR blaster cable into the IR OUTPUT ports at the back of the Matrix. At the display, the user connects the HDBT Receiver
device at the matrix HDBaseT ports. Afterward, insert the 3.5mm IR receiver
cable and IR blaster cable into the HDBT Receiver device.

1. At Matrix end: When the user controls the output device by remote control. The matrix IR INPUT and the HDBT IR output match. The way of IR control
   is following a video switch to change. The HDMI source is switched to the HDBT receiver display device output, and the IR control will switch to the following output and select the corresponding input source.

2. At display end: The Matrix has one location HDMI output and three HDBT
   outputs. The location HDMI output has no IR control function. The three HDBT
   outputs connect to the HDBT receiver. The HDBT IR INPUT and the matrix IR OUPTU match. The way of IR control is following a video switch to change. The mean is that the output selects the corresponding input source, and the IR control will switch to the following output and selects the connected input source.
   Attention: The Matrix has one location HDMI output. If the HDMI input source is switched to the one location HDMI output, the HDMI output end cannot control the Matrix through IR.
   The function of the IR “ALL” port is to control about one to all ports.

IR Pin Definition

IR Receiver and Blaster pin’s definition as below:

Remote control

1. Press this button to open the power of the Matrix or set it as a standby status.
2. Press these keys to select the output A, output B, output C, or output D for output corresponding 1, 2, 3, or 4 input sources.

Web GUI User Guide

The Matrix can be controlled via Web GUI through LAN port. You must know the current Matrix IP address. The static IP address is 192.168.1.100. You can connect PC Web GUI through a dynamic IP address. You can get the IP address in this unit via the PC Controller. Firstly, open Matrix PC Controller software on the following page:

Then select the “TCP Control Mode” port, and click the “Search” button. At this moment, you can get your current IP address. You can set the IP address to your PC/laptop/mobile Internet Explorer and click “Search” to enter the Web GUI page. The Web GUI likes below:

General page

1. Display currently the Matrix input and output port status. The “yes” have a connected input or output source, and the “no” represents no connection.
2. Power switch. The Matrix will work when opening this switch; otherwise, the Matrix will stand by.
3. Beep switch. Open this switch, and press the Matrix on-panel button will have a voice. Close this switch; it will mute.
4. Click this button will reboot the device.
5. Click this button will set it to factory reset.

Control page

1. Select the input source to the output port.
2. Select the output port audio.

EDID page

1. Set EDID mode to the input source, then click the “Set” button.
2. Copy EDID from the HDMI output port to the input source, then click the “Set” button.
3. Open the EDID file to the input source, then click the “Set” button.
4. Click the “Refresh” button to refresh the current EDID mode. It will display the present input source EDID mode status.

Status page

1. Network Configuration

2. In DHCP open status:
   HDCP switch: Obtain the network configuration information, including IP address, Subnet, Gate. Then click the “Save Changes” button to save the DHCP status.

3. In DHCP close status:
   HDCP switch: If the DHCP switch has been closed, the user can set IP, Subnet, and Gate address. At this moment, click the “Save Change” button to save current status information. (Attention: If the user has set the IP address, click the “Save Change” button. At this moment, the user needs to set the IP address again to your PC/laptop/mobile Internet Explorer and click “Search” to enter the Web GUI page.)
   Net Status button: Press this button to refresh the current network configuration information to display in the status log.
   In this unit, the Mac address can check only; you cannot set it.
