4x4 HDMI 2.0 Matrix Kit

6.2 IR Pass-through Control 

The matrix supports bi-directional IR pass-through, allowing the devices can be 
controlled by both source and destination ends. This section provides connection and 
switching examples to illustrate possible configurations.   

 

6.2.1 Control Local Input Device from Local 

By default, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the IR OUT port on the 
matrix and the HDMI input. When switch an HDMI input, the corresponding IR OUT will 
be switched synchronously.   

 

Example: Switch HDMI input 3 to HDBaseT output 4.   

Connect an IR receiver to the 

IR IN 4 

port, and an IR Emitter to the 

IR OUT 3 

port, the 

connection diagram shown as below:
