• Matrix Remote Controller Introduction
Below introduces the matrix remote controller:
1. Power button
Click it the matrix will enter the standby or normal
work mode.
2. Video Input Selection button
3. Video Output Selection button
How to use the video selection button?
Firstly, press the output A/B/C/D/E/F or ALL port
Then press the input 1/2/3/4/5 or 6 port.
For example if you want output C port to input 3, click output
“C” button, then
Click input “3” button to complete operation.
• IR Pin Definition
IR Receiver and Blaster pin’s definition as below:
• IR and RS-232 Instructions
The above connection diagram shows the IR and RS-232 connections:
• IR Connection:
A. The IR INPUT / OUTPUT (1/2/3/4/5/6) of the matrix is associated with
the IR OUTPUT / INPUT of each HDBaseT receiver , and form the IR
matrix port together.
The logic of the IR matrix follows the video map of the matrix at the same
time.
For example: if video HDMI IN1 is selected to HDBaseT OutC, the matrix's
IR INPUT1 signal can be output from Receiver's IR out, and Receiver's IR
IN can be output from the matrix's IR output1, this Receiver is connected
with the HDBaseT OutC.

B. IR EXT: This port is used for controlling the matrix self.
C. IR ALL IN: This port is used for all HDBaseT Receiver IR out
It means that IR ALL IN port signal can be output from all HDBaseT
receiver's IR out
D. IR ALL OUT: This port is used for all HDBaseT Receiver IR in
It means that all HDBaseT receiver's IR in signal can be output from the
matrix's this port.
• RS-232 Connection:
The matrix RS-232 (C/D/E/F) port is corresponding to each HDBaseT
receiver’s RS-232 port.
For example: The matrix C port's RS232 only Be transmitted in both
directions from HDBaseT OutC port receiver's RS-232 port.
• Audio Matrix Instructions
This matrix incorporates an independent audio matrix with 18 audio inputs
(including 6 HDMI de-embedding audio, 6 external audio sources and 6
ARC audio), and 12 audio outputs (including 6 HDMI embedding audio to
the HDBaseT and HDMI outputs, 6 direct audio breakouts A-F).
In addition, Volume, Mute, Delay for Lip-Sync correction are available on
all direct audio outputs (PCM 2.0 audio only).
Audio sample rate supports up to 192 kHz.
Audio Volume is adjustable from 0dB to -50dB.
Delay value is adjustable from 0 to 2000ms.
Note: If you select the ARC audio as audio matrix input source, it doesn’t
support Volume/Mute/Delay adjustment and just pass-through without any
audio processing.
• PC control software and Web GUI
• PC control software user guide
The matrix can link with the PC control software by UART or TCP/IP
mode:
• UART mode
You need select the “COM Control Mode” in PC control software and the
right COM port of your PC or laptop, then click the connection button.
UART mode
2. TCP/IP mode
a. The matrix default DHCP is enabling, after powering up 3 minutes if
network router doesn’t assign an IP address to the matrix, it will use an IP
address (192.168.1.100) as default IP.
b. The matrix and the PC on the same network IP segment with network

router and the matrix work on the DHCP status. You need search IP and
click the connect button.
c. Configure the IP address manually, you can set others IP address and
be sure your PC is the same IP segment with Matrix. You can connect the
matrix via PC host software.
TCP/IP mode
• Web GUI
Before accessing matrix Web GUI, you should know current matrix IP
address, you can get it from the front OLED panel “Menu” -> “ViewIP” page.
Then you should set the IP address of your PC or laptop or mobile device is
within the same IP address segment with the matrix. After above, you can
enter the matrix IP address in the web browser to access Web GUI.
Google Chrome, IE and Firefox browser are supported.
