Product Introduction 

Thanks for choosing the PT-C-HDCEC 18G In-line HDMI Controller, which is designed 
for automatic system control and HDMI signal extension in small meeting rooms and 
huddle spaces. The controller supports a variety of system trigger methods, via IR 
signal input or video signal detection (5V "Hot-Plug-Detect" or "TMDS sensing"). It 
automatically triggers CEC commands as well as pre-loaded RS232 and IR 
commands to turn on or off devices as well as relay control to lower and raise 
projection screens. It supports video resolutions up to 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 with HDR 10 
and Dolby Vision support and is capable of 4K to 1080p down-scaling, for 
compatibility with 1080p display devices. Besides passing EDID information from 
the display, there are multiple built-in EDID settings that can be selected using the 
4-pin DIP switch on the front panel. In addition, the controller supports CEC 
pass-through, RS232 control, IR learning and relay control.
