9.Infrared (IR) Distribution
The matrix includes multiple options for control and routing of IR signals.
IMPORTANT: PhD Solutions Infrared matrices and extenders are all 5v and are NOT compatible
with alternative manufacturers Infrared solutions. Please use the supplied IR (TX) Emitters/blasters
& IR (RX) Receivers supplied with the matrix.
The matrix is a switcher and extender of multiple HDMI signals to multiple HDMI receivers located
remotely, it also passes IR control signals through the IR call-back system to the matrix and HDMI
sources for independent control of connected outputs from input locations.
Two-way IR Call-back between matrix, Sources and displays from multiple locations.
A key feature of the matrix is discrete IR control of the matrix, sources and displays from different
locations. Inputs at the matrix end can be controlled at a display location and displays can be
controlled at the matrix location. This is accomplished by placing a series of IR (TX) Emitters/
blasters on devices to control and IR (RX) Receivers at all the locations you wish to control from.
The IR signal travels both ways via the single Cat5e/6/7 cable connected to the display receiver
balun.
IR control from display location.
Insert the 3.5mm IR (TX) emitter/blaster cables into IR OUTPUT ports at the rear of the matrix.
Place the IR (TX) emitter/blaster over the IR window of the source device you wish to control.
At the display connect the HDBaseT™ display receiver extender balun to the matrix’s HDBaseT™
C,D,E,F,G&H ports with a suitable CAT cable. Insert the 3.5mm IR (RX) receiver cable into the
IR IN port of HDBT receiver balun.
