Operation instruction: You need to press the output button first and then press the input button to select the corresponding input source. For example, Press Output-X (X means output button from 1 to 8, including the “All” button) Then press Input-Y (Y means input button from 1 to 8). 10 6. IR Control System The product is not only a matrix switch but also an extender. It supports bidirectional IR control. When Matrix is connected to HDBaseT Receiver through Cat 5e/6/7 cable, you can control the 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 a one-to-one transmission. For example, the IR IN 1 port signal of the Matrix will emit to the IR OUT port of the HDBaseT Receiver 1, and the IR IN 3 port signals of the Matrix will emit to the 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.

For example, the HDMI output signal on the HDBaseT Receiver 1 is from the HDMI INPUT 2 port, so the IR input signal of the HDBaseT Receiver 1 will emit to the IR OUT 2 ports of the Matrix. The HDMI output signal on the HDBaseT Receiver 5 is from the HDMI INPUT 4 port. Then, the IR input signal of the HDBaseT Receiver 5 will emit to the IR OUT 4 ports of the Matrix, etc. Any of the HDBaseT Receiver’s IR IN signals can output from IR OUT ALL port of the Matrix and the IR OUT ALL signal of the Matrix depends on your IR remote of a source device.
