1. Product Introduction
Thanks for choosing the professional 4x4 Matrix with four Receivers! The matrix is a four-input by four-output HDBaseT and HDMI matrix with HDCP 2.2 and up to 4K/UHD@60Hz video support. It transmits 4K video to distances up to 131 feet (40 meters) and 1080p video to distances up to 229 feet (70 meters) over a single CATx Ethernet cable. HDBaseT outputs support the Power over Cable (PoC) feature, allowing the receivers to draw their power from the matrix over the HDBaseT cable.
The matrix features comprehensive EDID management and advanced HDCP handing to ensure maximum functionality with a wide range of video sources.
The matrix not only supports bi-directional IR, RS232 extension but also has IR, RS232, and TCP/IP control options.
The product provides performance in control and transmission, which could be used in a number of different installation scenarios, for example, with computers, for monitoring purposes, large screen displays, conference systems, television education, bank security institutions, etc.

6. IR Control
6.1 IR Remote Control
Connect an IR receiver to the IR EYE port, the matrix can be controlled by using the following IR remote.
① Enter/exit standby mode. ② Blinking red when a button is pressed. ③ Video source selection buttons. ④ Output channel selection buttons. ⑤ Menu buttons:
⚫ ALL: Select all inputs and outputs. ⚫ EDID: Enable input port to manually capture and
learn the EDID data of outputs devices.
⚫ CLEAR: Cancel the current commands, if ENTER
has not been pressed.
⚫ ENTER: Confirm the desired command or press and
hold for 3 seconds to enter into the inquiry mode.
Note: The buttons on the remote control directly correspond to the buttons on the front panel and perform the same functions.
16
6.2 IR Pass-through Control
The matrix supports bi-directional IR pass-through, allowing the devices can be controlled by both source and destination ends. This section provides connection and switching examples to illustrate possible configurations.
6.2.1 Control Local Input Device from Local
By default, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the IR OUT port on the matrix and the HDMI input. When switch an HDMI input, the corresponding IR OUT will be switched synchronously.
Example: Switch HDMI input 3 to HDBaseT output 4. Connect an IR receiver to the IR IN 4 port, and an IR Emitter to the IR OUT 3 port, the
connection diagram shown as below:
