5.2 IR Control

By using IR & HDBaseT transmission technology, MHD44TP has some functions as follows:

1) Control far-end output device from local.

2) Control local input/output device remotely.

3) Control MHD44TP locally/remotely.

MHD44TP can be controlled by its built-in IR receiver or through the IR EYE port by connecting with extended IR receiver, or even can be controlled remotely by a far-end

IR device through the twisted pair.



5.2.1 Usage of IR Remote

Standby button, press it to enter in standby mode.

Input channels, range from 1~4, IR signal switched following HDMI signal correspondingly.

Menu buttons, AV and ALL buttons have the same function as the front panel. THROUGH: To transfer the signals directly to the corresponding output channels

Example: Press

“3”, “THROUGH”, the result will be IN

3OUT 3. Press

“ALL”, “THROUGH”, the result will be: 11, 22, 33, 44

Output channels, range from 1~4.

Each channel has 1 IR IN, 1 COAX, 1 HDBaseT, 1

RS232, and 1 AUDIO outputs, and channel No.1 &

No.2 has 1 HDMI output.

5.2.2 IR Operations

1) IR Matrix Switching

The 4

“IR OUT” ports make up a 4x4 IR matrix with the “IR IN” ports of the far-end receivers. See as below:


Control Local Devices or MHD44TP Remotely


The IR signal is received from corresponding remote controller, then transferred to

HDBaseT receiver, then to corresponding zone of MHD44TP through the twisted pair, finally transferred to IR OUT port and received by controlled device.

Switching Operation:

a) Sending command, reference to 5.3 RS232 Control: [x1]R[x2]. x1: Corresponding to the 4 IR OUT ports of MHD44TP, The IR emitter connected to this port can be placed at IR receiving area of output device or MHD44TP itself.

x2: Corresponding to the zone (receive IR signal from HDBaseT receiver with IR IN port connects with IR receiver) number of MHD44TP.

E.g.: Command

“3R2.” means to transfer IR signal received from zone 2 to IR OUT port 3.

b) Using IR remote: Input channelbutton IROutput channel

Input channel: the 4 INPUTS buttons, corresponding to the 4 IR OUT ports of

MHD44TP.

Output channel: the 4 OUTPUTS buttons, corresponding to the zone (receive IR signal from HDBaseT receiver with IR IN port connects to IR receiver) number of

MHD44TP.

E.g.: Press buttons

“3”, “IR”, “1” in order, “3” in OUTPUTS area, “1” in INPUTS area, to transfer IR signal received from zone 3 to IR OUT port 1.

Note: When switch all the 4 IR input signal channels to a same IR out channel,

it is not able to control the controlled device(s) at the same time.

2) IR Carrier Enforcing

a) Only if the IR receiver connected with HDBaseT receiver is with IR carrier, the received IR signal can be transferred to IR OUT port of MHD44TP.

b) Only if the IR receiver connected with IR ALL IN port of MHD44TP is with IR carrier, the received IR signal can be transferred to IR OUT port of MHD44TP.

If the IR receiver connected with HDBaseT receiver or IR ALL IN port of MHD44TP is not with IR carrier, you need to send the command

“%0901.”, and then you are able to transfer the IR signal to IR OUT port.

3) IR Settings

When need to control a remote displayer from local, the IR receiver used must be with

IR carrier. The IR signal is transferred to the corresponding zone connected with the

HDBaseT receiver which is connected with the IR emitter. When the IR receiver is connected to IR ALL IN port, the IR signal can be finally transferred to all the 4 IR emitters connected with HDBaseT receivers.

As the figure below:


Control Remote Displayer from Local


4) Controlled by a Third-party IR Control Device

Use the included IR converting cable (see as below), connect the red end to IR input port of MHD44TP, the black end to IR output port of the third-party control device. Then the IR signal is able to be transmitted via the twisted pair, and finally gets to remote output device.

5.3 RS232 Control

8. Troubleshooting & Maintenance

1) When there is a color losing or no video signal output, maybe the cables have already broken or haven’t been connected well.

2) When EDID management does not work normally, probably the HDMI cable is broken at the output end.

3) When switching, there is a blank screen on the displayer, maybe the displayer does not support the resolution of the video source. Switch again or manage the EDID data manually to make the resolution of the video source automatically compliant with the output resolution.

4) When user cannot control the switcher by computer through its COM port, please check the COM port number in the software, and make sure the COM port is in good condition and the communication protocol is correct.

5) When switching , there is no output image:

 Check if there is any signal at the input.

 Check if there is any signal at the output.

If there is no signal input/output, maybe the input/output cables broken or the connectors loosen, please change for another cable.

 Check if the output port number is the same with the controlled one.



 If it is still the same after the above checking, maybe there is something wrong in the switcher. Please send it to the dealer for repairing.

6) If the static becomes stronger when connecting the video/audio connectors, it probably due to bad grounding, please check the grounding and make sure it connected well; otherwise it would damage the switcher.

7) If the switcher cannot be controlled through the RS232 port, front panel buttons or by the IR remote, the unit may have already been broken. Please send it to the dealer for repairing.
