Remote control

1. Press the key to open the power of the matrix or set it to standby mode.
2. Press the DISPLAY A, B, C, D, E, F, G, or H button to select output firstly, then corresponding press the SOURCE 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 buttons to select the input source.
3. Press the DISPLAY A, B, C, D, E, F, G, or H button to select output first, then press the left or the right button to choose the last or the next input source.
4. Press the’ALL’key to select all output first, then select only one input source. At this moment, The left and the right keys have no function.

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 as eries of IR Emitters on devices to control IR Receivers at all locations you wish to control from 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 input source is switched to the HDBT receiver output, and the IR control will switch to the following output and select the corresponding input source.
Attention: The matrix has two location HDMI outputs. If the HDMI input source is switched to the two location HDMI outputs, the IR control will have no function.
② At display end: The matrix has two location HDMI outputs and six HDBT outputs. The location HDMI output has no IR control function. The six 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.
IR BLASTER (TX)
To control the source: Plug the IR Blaster into the IR OUT port of the transmitter unit; place the blaster in front of the IR eye of the source. To control the display: Plug the IR Blaster into the IR OUT port of the receiver unit; place the blaster in front of the IR eye of the display.
IR RECEIVER (RX)
To control the source: Plug IR Receiver into the IR IN port of the receiver unit; place the receiver at or near the display.
To control the display: Plug IR Receiver into IR IN port of transmitter unit; place receiver in the position where it can receive remote signals.

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 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” has a connected input or output source, and the “no” represents no connection.
