IR CONTROL
Connect an IR receiver to the IR EYE port of the Matrix Switcher, users can control
it through the included IR remote. Here is a brief introduction to the IR remote.
1. Standby button, press it to enter/ exit standby mode.
2. Input channels, range from 1~4, corresponding IR signal switched synchronously
when switching input channels.
3. Outputs: In normal mode: output channel selection buttons.
4. Menu buttons: ALL, EDID, CLEAR and ENTER. ALL: Select all outputs. EDID
management button: Enable input port to manually capture and learn the EDID data
of output devices. CLEAR: Withdraw an operation like switching output channel,
learning EDID data before it comes into effect. Meanwhile, the matrix will return to
the previous status. ENTER: Conrm operation.
Note: With this IR remote, the Matrix Switcher can be controlled by the built-in IR,
the extended IR receiver connected to the IR EYE and the IR receiver on the far-end
receiver. By using IR & HDBaseT transmission technology, the 4K Home Distribution Hub
Kit has some functions as follows:
1) Control far-end output device from local
2) Control local input/output device remotely.
3) Control the Matrix Switcher locally/remotely.
Switching I/O connection
1.To convert one input to an output:
Example: Input 1 to Output 3: Press INPUTS 1 + OUTPUTS 3 + ENTER
NOTE: Default status, on rst boot up this matrix assigns the IR outputs to the corresponding HDMI input, meaning,
IR out 1 is directly associated to HDMI input 1 and so on. When you switch an HDMI input to a different output, the
corresponding IR OUT will be switched synchronously to allow the IR commands to be sent from the select zone back
through the Matrix Switcher to the source.
2. To convert an input to several outputs:
Example: Convert Input 2 to Output 3 and 4: Press INPUTS 2 + OUTPUTS 3 + OUTPUTS 4 + ENTER
3.To convert an input to all outputs:
Example: Input 1 to all Outputs: Press INPUTS 1 + ALL + ENTER
EDID Management
The HDBT4X3 features EDID management that enables the Matrix Switcher to learn the EDID of all sink devices. The
Matrix Switcher can learn the EDID from any device or be programmed to assign an EDID to the mirror port through
EDID Invoking.
1.EDID Learning (from output):
One input port learns the EDID data of one output port:
Example: Input 2 learns EDID data from output 4: Press EDID + INPUTS 2 + OUTPUTS 4 + ENTER
All input ports learn EDID data from one output port:
Example: all input ports learn EDID data from output 4: Press: EDID + ALL + OUTPUTS 4 + ENTER

EDID Management Continued
2. EDID invoking: There are ve types of embedded EDID data. The chart below illustrated the detailed information of
the embedded EDID data:
Clear Operation
When you switch output channel, learn EDID data, or set EDID data, press “Clear” button to EXIT the operation before
you press “ENTER” to carry it on. When you press it, the Matrix Switcher will return to the previous status.
Force Carrier
a) Only if the IR receiver connected to HDBaseT receiver is with IR carrier, can the received IR signal be transferred
to IR OUT port of the Matrix Switcher.
b) Only if the IR receiver connected to the Matrix Switcher is with IR carrier, can the received IR signal be transferred
to IR OUT port of the Matrix Switcher.
If the IR receiver connected to HDBaseT receiver or the Matrix Switcher is without an IR carrier signal, send the
command “%0901.” to enter infrared carrier enforcing mode, and then IR signal can be transferred to IR OUT port.
Control Far-end Device Locally
Connect an IR receiver to IR IN on the Matrix Switcher, and use the IR Remote of far-end device to control the device
locally.
Connect an IR receiver with IR carrier to the IR IN port of the Matrix Switcher; users can control far-end output
displayer via its IR remote from local. In that case, the IR signal is transferred via twisted pair. Only the corresponding
IR OUT port can emit control signals to the remote display.
See the gure below:
Note: The IR receiver connected to IR IN must be with IR carrier
Number EDID Data
1 1080P LPCM
2 720P LPCM
3 3840 x 2160 LPCM
4 1080P Dolby/DTS
5 4096 x 2160 Dolby/DTS

Control Local Device Remotely
Connect IR receiver(s) to IR IN on far-end HDBT receiver(s), and IR Emitter(s) to IR OUT port of the switcher, and use
the IR Remote of local source to control the device remotely.
1 to 1: Connect an IR receiver to IR IN on far-end HDBT receiver, and an IR Emitter to IR OUT port of the switcher.
Use the IR Remote of local source to control the device remotely. See below:
Note: Send command “%0901.” to enter infrared carrier enforcing mode if the IR Receiver connected to IR IN of the
receiver is not with carrier.
Multiple to Multiple: (IR Matrix)
The 4 “IR OUT” ports and the 3 “IR IN” ports on the far-end receivers make up a 4x3 IR matrix.
See as below:
The IR signal is sent by IR remote, then it is transferred to HDBaseT receiver, then to corresponding zone of the
matrix through the twisted pair, nally it is transferred to IR OUT port and received by controlled device.
Switching Operation:
Sending command (reference to RS232 Control): [x1]R[x2].
x1: Corresponding to the 4 IR OUT ports of the Matrix Switcher, the IR transmitter connected to this port can be
placed at IR receiving area of output device or the Matrix Switcher itself.
x2: Corresponding to the zone (receive IR signal from HDBaseT receiver with IR IN port connects with IR receiver)
number of the Matrix Switcher.
Example: Send command “3R2.” to transfer IR signal received from zone 2 to IR OUT port 3.

RS232 CONTROL
RS232 connection
Except the front control panel, the Matrix Switcher can be controlled by far-end control system through the RS232
communication port. This RS232 communication port is a 3-pin phoenix connector. User can use the RS232 cable
(Phoenix to 9-pin D-Sub) to connect the RS232 port to PC, see as below:
Installation/Uninstallation of RS232 Control Software
Installation: Copy the control software le to the computer connected with the Matrix Switcher.
Uninstallation: Delete all the control software les in corresponding le path.
Basic Settings
First, connect the Matrix Switcher with an input device and an output device. Then, connect it with a computer which
is installed with RS232 control software. Double-click the software icon to run this software.
