7. IR Control system (IR Call-back of Matrix and Source Devices)
Two-way IR Call-back Between matrix, Sources
and Displays from Multiple Locations.
HDMI
IR RX
The matrix is not only a switcher and extender
of multiple HDMI signals to multiple HDMI
receivers located remotely, it also passes IR
control signals through the IR call-back system
to the matrix and HDMI sources for full,
independent control of all connected inputs
from output locations.
IR Path
IR RX
IR TX
A key feature on the matrix is discrete IR control
of the matrix, sources and displays from any
location – so inputs at the matrix end can be
controlled at a display location and displays
can be controlled at the matrix location. This
is accomplished by placing a series of IR
Emitters on devices to control and IR Receivers at all locations you wish to
control from to enable the IR signal to travel both ways via the single Cat5e/
6/7 cable.
IR control is devided into two kind of control ways as below.
Insert the 3.5mm IR receiver cable into IR INPUT ports at the rear of the
matrix. At the same time, insert the 3.5mm IR blaster cable into IR OUTPUT
ports at the rear of the matrix. At the display, the user connect HDBT Receiver
device at the matix HDBaseT ports. Afterwards, insert the 3.5mm IR receiver
cable and IR blaster cable to the HDBT Receiver device.
① At Matrix end: When the user control the output device by remote control.
The matrix IR INPUT and the HDBT IR output is match. The way of IR control
is following video switch to change. The mean is that the HDMI input source is switched
to the HDBT receiver output, the IR control will switch to following output select
corresponding input source.
Attention: The matrix has two location HDMI outputs. If the HDMI input source
is switched to the two location HDMI outputs, the IR control will has no function.

② At display end: The matrix has two location HDMI outputs and six HDBT
outputs. The location HDMI output has not IR control function. The six HDBT
outputs connect HDBT receiver. The HDBT IR INPUT and the matrix IR
OUPTU is match. The way of IR control is following video switch to change.
The mean is that the output select corresponding input source, the IR control
will switch to following output select corresponding input source.
IR BLASTER (TX)
To control the source: Plug IR Blaster into IR OUT port of transmitter unit;
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; place
blaster in front of the IR eye of the display.
IR RECEIVER (RX)
To control the source: Plug IR Receiver into IR IN port of receiver unit; place
receiver at or near display.
To control the display: Plug IR Receiver into IR IN port of transmitter unit; place
receiver in position where it is able to receive remote signals.

8. Web GUI User Guide
The Matrix can be controlled via Web GUI through LAN port. You must know
current Matrix IP address. The static IP address is 192.168.1.100. You can
connect PC Web GUI through dynamic IP adress. In this unit, you can get the
IP address via PC Controller. Firstly, opening Matrix PC Controller software,
as following page:
Then select the “TCP Control Mode” port, click the “Search” button. At this
moment, you can get current IP address. You can set the IP address to your
PC/laptop/mobile Internet Explorer and click “Search” to enter Web GUI page.
