7. IR Control System
The product is not only a matrix switch but also an extender. It supports bi-directional IR
control. When Matrix is connected to HDBaseT Receiver through Cat 5e/6/7 cable, you can
control remote display device (HDBaseT) or input source device (Matrix) through IR signal
transmission. But you must note that the IR signal transmission method is different from the
method from Matrix (local) to HDBaseT Receiver (remote) and from HDBaseT Receiver
(remote) to Matrix (local).
At the Matrix end (Local end):
the IR signal is one-to-one transmission. For example, the
IR IN 1 port signal of the Matrix will emit to IR OUT port of the HDBaseT Receiver 1, and the
IR IN 3 port signal of the Matrix will emit to IR OUT port of the HDBaseT Receiver 3. It doesn’t
follow the video switch to change. IR IN ALL port signal of the Matrix will emit to all IR OUT ports
of HDBaseT receivers simultaneously. Please see the following connection diagram.
