  • Page 44 IR Control In this illustration, we have two sources connected to the matrix. Source 1 is connected to HDMI Input 1 and Source 2 is connected to HDMI Input 2. We also have two IR emitters which are connected to IR Out 1 and IR Out 2. The IR remote for the source is pointed at the IR extender at viewing location 2 (Display 2) and we are controlling source that is connected to HDMI Input 2.
  • Page 45: Changing The Ir Routing State

    IR Control Changing the IR Routing State By default, the IR signal from each Receiver unit (output) is controlling its “associated” input source using the “Follow Input” mode. In other words, Output A > Input 1, Output B > Input 2, Output C > Input 3, and so on. This default IR routing state can be changed, independently of the A/V routing.

  • Page 48: Masking Outputs

    Masking Outputs When masking outputs through the front panel, the IR remote control must be used. Outputs can also be masked by by using the built-in web interface. See Routing Inputs and Masking Outputs (page 88) for more information. When an output is masked, the signal is blocked at the output. Let’s say Input 02 is routed to Output A, Output B, and Output C.
  • Page 49: Blocking Inputs

    Blocking Inputs Blocking an input disables the input, preventing the source signal from reaching any of the outputs. For example, if Input 02 is routed to Output A, Output B, and Output C, then “blocking” Input 02 will prevent the A/V signal from being displayed on Output A, Output B, and Output C.
