Instruction Manual – DXLink™ Twisted Pair Transmitters/Receiver
Optional: Multi-Format TX, HDMI TX, and HDMI RX – IR Control
For additional information on the IR03 and CC-NIRC, which are required for IR control, see page 27. (The IR03 and
CC-NIRC are not included with the modules.) A compatible remote control unit can also be used with the system. In
addition to being directly connected to a device, this port can be connected as an independent native NetLinx control port
from a networked NetLinx Central Controller.
Important:
When a Transmitter and Receiver are used as a standalone pair, the IR control will be passed
through directly in Extender Mode when #2 Toggle
is s
et to OFF (default). When #2 Toggle is set to ON, the
Master handles the IR control. When a Transmitter and Receiver are connected to a switcher, they will default
to Endpoint mode and the integrated Master handles the SEND_COMMANDs.
The IR Receiver is connected to the IR RX port on the Transmitter, and the IR Emitter is connected to the IR TX port on
the Receiver, or the connections can be reversed.
IR03 External IR Receiver Module (not included)
To connect an IR Receiver to a module:
1.
Connect the jack on the IR03 External IR Receiver Module cable (FG-IR03) to the IR RX port on the module.
2.
Run the cable and attach the IR receiver bud so that it has a clear line-of-sight with the intended remote control
device.
CC-NIRC NetLinx IR Emitter Cable (not included)
To connect an IR Emitter to a module:
1.
Connect the Phoenix connector on the CC-NIRC NetLinx IR Emitter cable (FG10-000-11) to the IR TX port on the
module.
2.
Run the other end of the IR Emitter cable to the display device and locate the IR window.
3.
Attach the IR Emitter bud over the device’s IR sensor by removing the cover on the reverse side of the Emitter and
sticking the bud directly over the IR window.
Important:
For systems that include a switcher – when installation of the IR Receiver and IR Emitter is
complete, load the appropriate driver (for instructions, see page 72) and program the IR remote according to
the product’s documentation.
IR Control – Endpoint Mode and SEND_COMMANDs
In Endpoint Mode (modules are connected to a switcher), IR operations are handled by the host providing control of the
endpoints. The Master’s programming specifies where the IR commands are sent (this is handled independently from the
routing of the video signals). For additional information on Endpoint Mode, see page 44. For IR SEND_COMMANDs,
see page 88.
