Page 6: Introduction
All Triax matrices support EDID management, HDCP , bi-directional RS-232 and IR control. Apart from the embedded HDMI audio, the Triax matrices provide auxiliary audio inputs. Audio source can be selected via RS232 command. The selected Source’s audio is simultaneously passed to both the HDMI and HDBaseT outputs, HDBaseT signals are then converted back to HDMI, the HDMI cable can be plugged directly in to a display or local AVR. -
