8. IR Control system
(IR Call-back of Matrix and Source Devices)
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.
Two-way IR Call-back Between matrix, Sources and
displays from multiple locations.
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 divided 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 connects HDBT Receiver device at the matrix 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 controls 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 source is switched to the HDBT receiver display device output, the IR
control will switch to following output select corresponding input source.
2. At display end: The matrix has one location HDMI output and three HDBT outputs. The
location HDMI output has not IR control function. The three 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 selects corresponding input source, the IR control
will switch to following output select corresponding input source.
Attention: The matrix has one location HDMI output. If the HDMI input source is switched to
the one location HDMI output, the HDMI output end does not control the matrix through IR. The
function of the IR “ALL” port is control about one to all port.

9. 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 address. 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. The Web GUI likes below:
