4.1 IR Control
4.1.1 IR Remote
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.

text_image
INPUTS 1 2 3 4 OUTPUTS 1 2 3 4 MENU ALL EDID CLEAR ENTER① Standby button, press it to enter/ exit standby mode.
② INPUTS: Input channel selection buttons, range from 1\~4, corresponding IR signal switched synchronously when switching input channels.
③ OUTPUTS: 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: Confirm operation.
1) To convert one input to an output:
Example: Input 1 to Output 3
→ Press INPUTS 1 + OUTPUTS 3 + ENTER
NOTE:
Default status, on first 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
By using IR & HDBaseT transmission technology, the HDMI HDBaseT 4x4 4K Matrix Kit has the 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.
4.1.2 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.
4.1.3 Control Far-end 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.
