I.R. Remote Control over CAT 5/6:
IR remote signals can be carried over the CAT 5/6 cables to control the
1) matrix and 2) video sources.
1) Connect the IR receiver cable to the CAT 5/6 HDMI receiver as
shown above
2) Connect the IR transmitter cables to the matrix IR TX 1-4 as
shown above.
3) Place and point a IR Transmitter to each video source as shown
above.
Note: No IR transmitter cable needed to control the 4x8 Matrix. The
4x8 Matrix IR control signals are carried directly over CAT 5/6
cables and will control the matrix internally.
