⚫ALL OUT: 3.5mm jack to connect the IR emitter to send the IR signal received
from all HDBaseT receivers.
④OUTPUT: Four HDBaseT RJ45 outputs to connect the four HDBaseT receivers,
and four local HDMI ports to connect local displays.
⑤AUDIO MATRIX OUT/ARC: Four 3-pin terminal blocks and four Toslink
connectors to connect speakers or amplifiers for HDMI input audio de-embedding
or HDBaseT output audio de-embedding, and the four Toslink connectors can
also be used for ARC audio output from HDBaseT receivers. They can make up
an audio matrix to be set by front panel buttons, GUI or RS232 commands.
⑥RS232: Four 3-pin terminal blocks to control the third-party devices base on
RS232 pass-through feature. There is a one-to-one correspondence between the

HDBaseT link between the switcher/transmitter and the receiver. The HDCP LED
illuminates green when the video contains HDCP content.
⑪DC 24V: DC connector for the power adapter connection. If the
switcher/transmitter is connected to the power adaptor, the receiver doesn’t need
to connect power adaptor due to the HDBT output port of switcher/transmitter
supports 24V PoC output.
