ADVANCED OPERATION
10. Advanced Operation
2
As each IR TX port is allocated to an individual HDMI input
port, if the user is unable to establish IR control of the
device, care should be taken to check firstly, that the
IR emitter and HDMI input ports match (Input 1-TX1,
Input2-TX2 etc.) with plugs secured in correct ports, and
secondly, that the IR emitter sensors are firmly attached
directly to the front of inputs and covering infrared sensor
windows of the source devices.
Some later adjustment may be needed to the location
of the sensor to achieve the best performance results -
sometimes moving the sensor to different areas on the
source can improve IR performance.
NOTE Infrared receiving areas of devices can be located
by shining a flashlight onto the front of the device – the
sensor should be able to be seen through the plastic as a
small, round object inside.
As with the IR TX, the IR RX ports are allocated to their
respective UTP OUTPUT ports (Output1-RX1, Output2
-RX2) with the IR signal converted to HDMI and carried
along the single Cat5e/6 cable.
Insert 3.5mm jacks of IR receivers into RX ports, making
sure the receivers themselves are placed in clear view to
receive an infrared signal from the remote handset used to
control the display outputs.
Setting: For the Matrix to enable two-way IR control
between inputs and outputs, press and hold OUTPUT 1
and OUTPUT 4 together for 3 seconds until ALL output
LED lights flash, signalling the unit is in Two-way IR
Mode.
Repeat the process to disable Two-way IR Mode.
At display end: Insert the IR receiver jack into the
IR RX port of the display receiver balun, with the receivers
themselves placed in clear view on or near the displays to
receive an infrared signal from the remote handset used to
control inputs.
Insert the IR emitter jack into the IR TX port of the display
receiver balun, ensuring that the emitter sensor is securely
attached to infrared sensor window of the display.
Follow the same connection and positioning for all baluns/
displays connected to the matrix. If all IR emitters and
IR receivers are positioned and connected correctly with
sources, displays and display receivers fully powered and
the matrix set to IR call-back enabled and IR TX Switch
mode activated, two-way IR will now be possible.
NOTE Misplaced or poorly secured IR emitters and
receivers may result in intermittent IR control signals
passed to and from the matrix. Check your placement
and adjust if necessary.
Typically, unless alternative methods of controlling
the matrix are chosen or problems with device
communication through the matrix encountered, basic
operation is all that is required to operate your MX-0404-
PP-KIT. However, the following information on advanced
operation will detail how the matrix system can be
configured and for advanced control and settings can
be altered or data manually input should such problems
arise, as well as configuring the system for third party
control.
RS232 Remote Control
Control of the matrix is possible through RS232 using
third party control systems or the dedicated WyreStorm
control software included with your purchase -
