HDMI IN
There are 4 HDMI inputs, which are to be physically
connected to the HDMI source devices.
2
IR Sensors
There are 3 IR Sensor ports: These 3 ports should be
connected to the IR Sensors. These are fixed IR
inputs and correspond to the same fixed outputs, and
cannot be switched separately. This allows for an IR
transmission to the IR Emitter on the corresponding
HDBT receiver.
There is 1 IR Eye: This should be connected to the
extended IR Sensor, and allows the IR remote to
control the HDMI Matrix Switch.
3
IR Emitters
These 3 ports should be connected to the IR Emitters
and attach to the front of each source. They emit the
IR signal received from each HDBT Receiver.
4
HDBT OUT
There are 3 RJ45 outputs, used to deliver HD video,
audio and PoC to the HDBT Receivers, at up to 70m.
5
HDMI OUT
HDMI: There is 1 HDMI port which may be connected
to a local display.
SPDIF: Digital audio output connects directly via an
optical fiber cable to the Toslink input on a sound bar.
RCA (2CH, L&R): PCM Analogue audio output
connectors (line level), used to connect to
self-powered speakers or an amplifier.

Ethernet
Connects with a PC over the network for TCP/IP &
Web-based GUI control.
