IR PASS-THROUGH
The system supports bi-directional IR pass-through, allowing you to control devices on both the source and destination ends. This section provides several connection and switching examples to illustrate possible configurations. The kit comes with eight IR receivers and eight IR transmitters. Some connections require additional receivers and/or transmitters, which will need to be obtained separately.
Control Local Input Device From Local
By default, there is a one-to-one relationship between the IR OUT port on the matrix and the HDMI® input. When you switch an HDMI input, the corresponding IR OUT will be switched at the same time.
For example, if HDMI® input 3 is connected to the HDBaseT™ output 4, plug an IR receiver into the IR IN 4 jack and an IR transmitter into IR OUT 3, as shown in the diagram below.
The same standard applies when you have one HDMI® input connected to multiple HDBaseT™ outputs. For example, if you have HDMI input 3 connected to HDBaseT output 2, 3, and 4, plug an IR receiver into IR IN 2, IR IN 3, and IR IN 4, then plug an IR transmitter into IR OUT 3, as shown in the diagram below.

Control Local Input Device From Remote
The same basic principle applies when controlling the local input device from the remote location. For example, if you have HDMI® input 3 connected to HDBaseT™ output 4, plug an IR receiver into the IR IN jack on the receiver, then plug an IR transmitter into IR OUT 3 on the matrix, as shown in the diagram below.

BUTTON CONTROL
The matrix can be controlled using the buttons on the front panel. Whenever a command is accepted by the matrix, all the buttons pressed will blink 3 times, then will turn off. If the command fails, the indicators in the buttons will turn off immediately without blinking.
Switching
To make a single, one-on-one connection, press an INPUT button, then press an OUTPUT button, and finally press the ENTER button. For example, to connect HDMI ^® input 1 to HDBaseT ^™ output 2, press the INPUT 1 button, then press the OUTPUT 2 button, and finally press the ENTER button. The indicators in the INPUT 1, OUTPUT 2, and ENTER buttons will blink 3 times.
To make a connection between an HDMI input and multiple HDBaseT outputs, press an INPUT button, then press multiple OUTPUT buttons, and finally press the ENTER button. For example, to connect HDMI input 1 to HDBaseT outputs 2, 3, and 4, press the INPUT 1 button, then press the OUTPUT 2, OUTPUT 3, and OUTPUT 4 buttons, and finally press the ENTER button. The indicators in the INPUT 1, OUTPUT 2, OUTPUT 3, OUTPUT 4, and ENTER buttons will blink 3 times.
To make a connection between an HDMI input and all HDBaseT outputs, press an INPUT button, then press the ALL button, and finally press the ENTER button. For example, to connect HDMI input 1 to all HDBaseT outputs, press the INPUT 1 button, then press the ALL button, and finally press the ENTER button. The indicators in the INPUT 1, ALL, and ENTER buttons will blink 3 times.
EDID Management
Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is the method by which the display communicates its maximum resolution and audio capabilities to the source device. With the matrix, however, there is no regular connection between a source and a display. Additionally, a single source device can be connected to multiple displays, each of which may have different capabilities.
By default, the matrix will use the EDID information from the display connected to output 1, but it may have a higher maximum resolution than another connected display, which would prevent the other display from displaying video. To overcome this problem, this matrix includes advanced EDID management. There are two methods for setting the EDID information for the connected source devices. The first method is to copy the EDID information from one of the connected displays to one or more of the source devices. The second method is to assign a predefined EDID setting for one or more sources.
Note that by default, when copying the EDID information from one of the outputs, the matrix will copy the EDID information from the display connected to the HDBaseT ^™ receiver, not from the local display connected with an HDMI ^® cable. If you want to copy the EDID information from the local display instead of the display connected to the HDBaseT receiver, disconnect the Ethernet cable from the HDBaseT output.
To copy the EDID information from one display to one source, first press the EDID button, then press an INPUT button followed by an OUTPUT button, and finally press the ENTER button to confirm. For example, to copy the EDID information from output 4 to source 2, press the EDID button, then press the INPUT 2 button followed by the OUTPUT 4 button, and finally press the ENTER button. The EDID, INPUT 2, OUTPUT 4, and ENTER buttons will blink 3 times.
To copy the EDID information from one display to all sources, first press the EDID button, then press the ALL button followed by an OUTPUT button, and finally press the ENTER button. For example, to copy the EDID information from output 4 to all sources, first press the EDID button, then press the ALL button followed by the OUTPUT 4 button, and finally press the ENTER button. The EDID, ALL, OUTPUT 4, and ENTER buttons will blink 3 times.
The following table shows the seven predefined EDID settings.
| ID | Video Resolution | Audio Formats |
| 1 | 720p 2D | PCM, Dolby®, DTS® |
| 2 | 720p 3D | PCM, Dolby, DTS |
| 3 | 1080p 2D | PCM, Dolby, DTS |
| 4 | 1080p 3D | PCM, Dolby, DTS |
| 5 | 4K@30Hz | PCM, Dolby, DTS |
| 6 | 4K@60Hz 4:2:0 | PCM, Dolby®, DTS® |
| 7 | 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 | PCM, Dolby, DTS |
To assign one of the predefined EDID settings to one source device, first press and hold the EDID button for 3 seconds, then press an INPUT button, then use the LEFT (OUTPUT 6) and RIGHT (OUTPUT 8) buttons to select one of the presets, and finally press the ENTER button to confirm. For example, to assign one of the presets to HDMI ^® source 4, first press and hold the EDID button for 3 seconds, then press INPUT 4, then use the LEFT (OUTPUT 6) and RIGHT (OUTPUT 8) buttons to select a preset, and finally press the ENTER button. The EDID, INPUT 4, LEFT, RIGHT, and ENTER buttons will blink 3 times.
To assign one of the predefined EDID settings to all source devices, first press and hold the EDID button for 3 seconds, then press the ALL button, then use the LEFT (OUTPUT 2) and RIGHT (OUTPUT 4) buttons to select a preset, and finally press the ENTER button to confirm. The EDID, ALL, LEFT, RIGHT, and ENTER buttons will blink 3 times.
Inquiry Mode
Inquiry Mode allows you to check the connection status of the matrix as a whole or of a single output. To enter Inquiry Mode, press and hold the ENTER button for 3 seconds.
To check the connection status, press and hold the ENTER button for 3 seconds, then use the LEFT (OUTPUT 6) and RIGHT (OUTPUT 8) buttons to cycle through the five reports. The following table shows examples of each of the five available reports.
| # | LCD Screen | Description |
| 1 |  | Reports the connection status of all inputs. Y means that there is a source connected to that input and N means that there is not. |
| 2 |  | Reports the connection status of all outputs. Y means that there is a device connected to that output and N means that there is not. |
| 3 |  | Reports the signal switching status. |
| 4 |  | Reports the HDCP compliance status of all inputs. Y means the input AV signal has HDCP data and N means that it does not. |
| 5 |  | Reports the HDCP compliance status of all outputs. Y means that the output AV signal has HDCP data and N means that it does not. |
You can also check the current connection status of a specific output. To do so, press and hold the ENTER button for 3 seconds to enter Inquiry Mode, then press one of the OUTPUT buttons. For example, to see the current connection for output 2, first press and hold the ENTER button for 3 seconds, then press the OUTPUT 2 button. The LCD screen will show the following display and the corresponding INPUT and OUTPUT buttons will illuminate for 3 seconds.
| AV | 01->02 |
| IR | 01->02 |
Recall Preset
You can create and save up to nine layout presets using RS-232 commands or using the built-in web GUI. Once saved, you can recall them using the front panel buttons.
To recall a preset, first press the RECALL button, then use the LEFT (OUTPUT 6) and RIGHT (OUTPUT 8) buttons to select one of the presets, and finally press the ENTER button to confirm. The LCD screen will show the following:
