Connect an IR emitter from each IR Out port to each source. The IR Out ports can be used independently of the video routing, if desired.
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.

Page 91: The Web Interface
The Web Interface Introduction to the Web Interface The 4K Ultra HD 8x9 Matrix for HDMI includes a built-in web interface. We recommend that the web interface be used to control the matrix as it provides easy management of all features used by the matrix.
Page 92 The Web Interface • Administrator The Administrator username provides full access to all features within the web interface. The default password for the Administrator user name is Admin. All passwords are case-sensitive. For information on changing the default password, see Configuring Network Settings (page 113).
Page 93 The Web Interface Tabs and Sub-tabs ► The web interface is organized into tabs, in the top-portion of the screen. Clicking on a tab will display a different screen. The Setup and Manage EDID tab have their own set of tabs, which we will refer to as “sub-tabs”, as shown below.
Page 94 The Web Interface • If a button is pale-yellow or pale-red (disabled), then this means that the setting is not available. This usually requires that another setting must be enabled before setting a “sub-set” of that feature. For example, note that both the Remote UDP Access button and the UDP Port field are disabled in the illustration, below: In order to change either of these settings, UDP Access must be enabled.
Page 95 The Web Interface Switch Audio / Video A dark blue square indicates that the input of that column is routed to the output of that row. Cyan-colored square indicates that the input and output are not routed to one another. See Routing Inputs and Masking Outputs (page 88) for more information.

Page 107 The Web Interface Now, let’s say we want to control the blu-ray player, which is connected to Input 2, from any of the outputs (Output A - Output C). Click the IR Routing tab. Move the mouse over each square within the table. As the mouse moves, the current output row and input column will be highlighted in yellow.
Page 108 The Web Interface When a square is clicked (selected), it will turn dark green. Unselected Selected The new IR routing state will be applied immediately. If we revisit our original illustration, we can see that the blu-ray player, which is connected to Input 2 can now be controlled from any of the outputs.
Page 109: Ir Routing Presets
The Web Interface IR Routing Presets Once we have defined an IR routing preset, we may want to save it for later use. This can be done by saving the current routing state to any one of 16 presets. After a preset has been saved, it can be edited or recalled for later use within the web interface.
Page 110 The Web Interface Click the Select Current button to select the current IR routing state. This will highlight the currently selected IR routing state (dark green squares) as orange squares. If we wanted to make a change to the currently selected IR routing state, we could manually click on the desired squares.
