KANEXPRO MX-HDBASE4x4-4k16 | P a g eThe IR signal is sent by corresponding IR remote, then it is transferred to HDBaseTreceiver, then to corresponding zone of the matrix through the twisted pair, finally it istransferred to IR OUT port and received by controlled device.Switching Operation: (4 IR IN ports correspond with 4 HDMI input ports separately indefault mode.)a) Sending command (reference to 4.3 RS232 Control): [x1]R[x2].x1: Corresponding to the 4 IR OUT ports of the matrix, the IR transmitter connectedto this port can be placed at IR receiving area of output device or MX-HDBASE4X4-4K itself.x2: Corresponding to the zone (receive IR signal from HDBaseT receiver with IR INport connects with IR receiver) number of MX-HDBASE4X4-4K.Example: Send command “3R2.” to transfer IR signal received from zone 2 to IROUT port 3.4.3 RS232 Control4.3.1 Connection with RS232 Communication PortExcept the front control panel, the MX-HDBASE4X4-4K can be controlled by far-endcontrol system through the RS232 communication port. This RS232 communicationport is a female 9-pin D connector.
