IR PASS-THROUGH CONTROL 

This matrix features bidirectional IR control and includes 4 IR receivers and 4 IR 
transmitters. The receivers and transmitters can be installed in a variety of ways for several 
control options. The following diagrams illustrate the various control methods. 
 

Controlling the Remote Display from the Matrix 

Perform the following steps to connect for control of the remote display from the matrix 
location. 

1.

 

Plug one of the included IR Transmitters to the IR Out jack on the receiver, then 
position the emitter so that it can transmit to the IR eye on the display. 

2.

 

Plug one of the included IR Receivers to the IR IN jack on the matrix that 
corresponds to the receiver, then position it so that it can receive IR signals from 
the remote display's IR remote control.
