IR Control

This product supports backwards and forwards IR, allowing IR signals to be passed over the CAT cable to the source device or the display.

Source IR Control (Backwards IR)

This allows you to control a source device at the display (TV) end, where the receiver is.

  1. Plug the IR emitter into the IR OUT port in the switcher.
  2. Find the IR location on your source device (where you normally point the remote control) and then place the IR emitter in front of it.
  3. Plug the IR receiver into the IR IN port in the receiver.
  4. Attach the IR receiver onto or near the display (TV) where you would point your remote control to use your TV.

Display IR Control (Forwards IR)

This allows you to control a display (TV) at the source device's end, where the switcher is. For example, you have a projector at the receiver's end and you want to turn it on and control it at the source device's end.

  1. Plug the IR emitter into the IR OUT port in the receiver.
  2. Find the IR location on your display (TV), (where you normally point the remote control) and then place the IR emitter directly in front of it.
  3. Plug the IR receiver into the IR IN port in the switcher.
  4. Attach the IR receiver onto anywhere you would like to control it.

Button Control

Note: The front panel buttons are locked by factory default. When you press any button on the front panel, it will not be able to operate and the button light will blink twice. At this time, you need to use instructions to unlock the button function, please refer to the RS232 Commands at page 20 for details.

Signal Switching

  1. Press the SOURCE AUTO button to switch to next source device, and then the corresponding input LED will turn green.
  1. Press and hold the SOURCE AUTO button at least 3 seconds to enable auto switching mode, and it abides by the following principles:
  2. The switcher will switch to the first available active input starting at HDMI IN 1 > HDMI IN 2 > USB-C. If there is no device input and the display supports CEC, the display will automatically shut down in 10 minutes.
  3. New input: Once a new input signal detected, the switcher will automatically switch to this new signal.
  4. Source removed: When an active source is removed, the switcher will switch to the first available active input starting at HDMI IN 1.
  5. Reboot: The switcher can save the last configuration before losing power. If the last switching mode is auto switching, the switcher will automatically enter auto switching mode once rebooted, then detect all inputs and memorize their connection status for future rebooting using. If the last selected input source is still available, the switcher will switch to this input. Otherwise, it will switch to the first available active input source starting at HDMI IN 1.
  6. Exit auto switching mode: Press and hold the SOURCE AUTO button for 3 seconds again to exit the auto mode, and the input source will not be changed.

Display Control

  1. Press the blue-backlight DISPLAY ON/OFF button to turn on/off the display by automatically sending CEC and RS232 command (Programming required). When sending the ON command, the button will turn blue; when sending the OFF command, and the button will be off.
  2. The DISPLAY ON/OFF button can be programmed by IR learning feature or RS232 command for compatibility with various display devices. For more details, please refer to the 7 Button User-defined.

RS232 Control

RS232 Connection

According the RS232 control mode, there are three types of RS232 connection for different application.

  1. When only control the switcher, please connect a control device (e.g. PC) to the RS232 port of the switcher, the connection diagram shown as below:
  1. If the far-end third-party device (e.g. projector) need be controlled by PC, please connect the third party device (e.g. projector) to the RS232 port of receiver. The connection diagram shown as below:
  1. If the switcher needs to be controlled by receiver end, the control device (e.g. PC) can be connected to the RS232 port of the receiver, the connection diagram shown as below:

RS232 Commands

After set all needed input and output devices according to the RS232 connection diagram, please install the RS232 control software (e.g. docklight) into the control PC to send RS232 command.

After installing the RS232 control software, please set the parameters of COM number, bound rate, data bit, stop bit and the parity bit correctly, and then you are able to send command in command sending area.

When controlling the switcher, the serial port settings for all RS232 commands is:
Baud rate: 9600 Data bit: 8 Stop bit: 1 Parity bit: none

EDID Management

The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is used by the source device to match its video resolution with the connected display. By default, the source device obtains its EDID from the connected display, but if EDID communication is failed, 4K@30Hz 8bit Stereo Audio will be used as default output resolution.

In addition, since USB-C input only supports 4K@30Hz, so some limitations have been done on USB-C input. If the video resolution of display is lower than 4K@30Hz (including 4K@30Hz), the source device will copy and output it. But if the video resolution of display is higher than 4K@30Hz, the video resolution of source device will be fixed at 4K@30Hz.

Meanwhile, since the display with different capabilities is connected to the switcher, the below RS232 commands can be used to set the EDID to a fixed value to ensure the compatibility in video resolution.
