IR control Using IR and HDBaseT transmission technology, the switcher has the following functions. Control far-end output device from local Control local input and output device remotely Control the switcher locally or remotely Note: Non-flashing emitters are not supported. You can control the switcher using its built-in IR receiver, or through the IR EYE port by connecting it to an extended IR receiver. Or, you can control it remotely using an IR device though the twisted pair.
(4) Direction buttons Up, Down, Left, Right, Enter to confirm. (5) Output buttons 1 to 4, IR signal switched to the corresponding output signal. IR operations IR matrix switching The four “IR OUT” ports make up an 8x8 IR switcher with the four “IR IN” ports of the far-end receivers, as shown below.
Example: Send command “3R2.” to transfer the IR signal received from zone 2 to IR OUT port 3. Note: When you switch all of the four IR input signal channels to the same IR out channel, it is not able to control the all controlled device(s) at the same time. IR carrier enforcing Only when the IR receiver that is connected with the HDBaseT receiver is with IR carrier, can the received IR signal be transferred to the IR OUT port of the switcher.
Control far-end device through IR ALL IN port The IR signal received from the IR ALL IN port is transmitted to all the four far-end HDBaseT receivers connected to HDBaseT ports of the switcher.
