8. 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 HDBaseTReceiver 1, and the
IR IN 3 port signal of the Matrix will emit to IR OUT port of the HDBaseTReceiver 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.

HDMI 4X4 Matrix Switch Kit, HDBT, PoC, 4K/60
© MuxLab Inc. 2023 12 94-000998-A/SE-000998-A
At HDBaseT receiver (Remote end): IR signal follows video switch to change. For example, the
HDMI output signal on the HDBaseT Receiver 1 is from the HDMI INPUT 2 port, so IR input signal
of the HDBaseT Receiver 1 will emit to IR OUT 2 port of the Matrix. The HDMI output signal on
the HDBaseT Receiver 3 is from the HDMI INPUT 4 port. Then, IR input signal of the HDBaseT
Receiver 3 will emit to IR OUT 4 port of the Matrix etc. Any of HDBaseT Receiver’s IR IN signal
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 source device. Please see the following connection diagram.

10. EDID Management
This Matrix has 21 factory defined EDID settings, 2 user-defined EDID modes and 8 copy EDID
modes. You can select defined EDID mode or copy EDID mode to input port through on-panel
button, RS-232 control or Web GUI.
On-panel button operation: On the initial display screen, press “MENU” button to enter the
EDID setting interface, press “UP/DOWN” button to select the required EDID, and press the
“ENTER” button to enter “Copy to Input:” interface. Then press “UP/DOWN” button to select
the input port you need to set, and press “ENTER” button again to confirm this operation.
RS-232 control operation: Connect the Matrix to PC with a serial cable, then open a Serial
Command tool on PC to send ASCII command “s edid in x from z!” to set EDID. For details,
please refer to “EDID Setting” in the ASCII command list of “12. RS-232 Control Command”.
Web GUI Operation: Please check the EDID management in the “Input page” of “11. Web GUI
User Guide”.

11. Web GUI User Guide
The Matrix can be controlled by Web GUI. The operation method is shown as below:
Step 1: Get the current IP Address.
The default IP address is 192.168.1.100. You can get the current Matrix IP address in two ways:
The first way: You can get the IP address via panel buttons. On the initial display, press
“MENU” button three times to enter the IP interface and check the current IP address.
The second way: You can get the IP address via RS-232control. Send the ASCII command
“r ipconfig!” through a Serial Command tool, then you’ll get the feedback information as shown
below:
IP:192.168.168.162 in the above figure is the current Matrix IP address (this IP address is
variable, depending on what the specific machine returns).
For the details of RS-232 control, please refer to “12. RS-232 Control Command”.
Step 2: Connect the TCP/IP port of the Matrix to a PC with an UTP cable (as shown in the
following figure), and set the IP address of the PC to be in the same network segment with the
Matrix.
Step 3: Enter the current IP address of the Matrix in your browser on the PC to enter the Web
GUI page.
