1. The IR Receiver (IR RX) is always what you point your remote at to send an IR signal. This pigtail is placed
at the display for controlling the source; or at the source for controlling the display.
2. The IR Transmitter (IR TX) is what sends the IR signal to what you are intending to control, whether it’s
the source or the display. This pigtail is placed at the source; either pointed at the source, or placed on
the front panel of the source, see below for placement tips. Or placed at the display to control the display
from the source.
IR PASS THROUGH
The bi-directional IR system allows you to control the source that is connected to the ex-
tender unit, from the display; or the display from the source, not simultaneously. There
are two important things to note when setting up the IR system:
IR TRANSMITTER (TX)
To control the source: Plug IR Blaster into IR OUT port of transmitter unit (HDBT4K50-
TX); place blaster in front of the IR eye of the source.
To control the display: Plug IR Blaster into IR OUT port of receiver unit (HDBT4K50-RX);
place blaster in front of the IR eye of the display.
Note: Placement of the IR Blaster is important and can result in the IR system not work-
ing if improperly placed.
• First, locate the IR eye or window on the source
• If placing the IR blaster right on the front panel of the source, do not stick right on top
of the IR eye or IR window. The IR signal cannot travel through the double-sided tape on
the blaster. Instead place the blaster on either side, or on the top or bottom of the IR
eye or window, with the tip of the transmitter facing the IR eye or window. See below
for illustration of where IR signal shoots from on IR Blaster:
