6.2.2 Control Local Input Device from Remote 

The same basic principle applies when controlling the local input device from the 
remote location. 

 

 

Control local input device through IR OUT port 

Example: Switch HDMI input 3 to HDBaseT output 4.   

Connect an IR Receiver to 

IR IN

 port on the receiver, then connect an IR emitter to the 

IR OUT 3 

on the matrix. The third input source can be controlled through its 

corresponding IR output port. The connection diagram shown as below:
