Page 23: Pass-Through Mode
Advanced Operation Pass-through mode In pass-through mode, RS-232 commands are passed-through the AT-UHD-CAT-4, transmitted over HDBaseT to a receiver unit, and then to the display (sink) device. Note that each RS-232 / IR port is assigned to an HDBaseT OUT port. -
Page 24: Control Mode
Advanced Operation Control mode In control mode, the MASTER RS-232 / IR port is used to directly control the AT-UHD-CAT-4 using a control system. 1. Launch a web browser and login to the web GUI. Refer to Introduction to the Web GUI (page 31) for more information. -
Page 25: Ir Control
Advanced Operation IR Control IR can be used to control either source devices at the headend or devices connected to the receiver endpoint, such as a display. Note that the MASTER RS-232 / IR port does not support IR control. Note that each RS-232 / IR port is assigned to an HDBaseT OUT port. -
