IR RX and sent into the matrix unit. 6. IR Control System The M44KT is designed to allow IR to be sent to the RX devices from the matrix end and to receive IR signals from the RX devices and output them at the matrix.
Page 10
At the matrix: The IR sent to the RX devices is “one to one”, meaning input one will flash on the RX in zone 1, input 2 to RX 2, etc. There is an input marked “All” when IR signals are input here, all four of the RX devices will flash the input signal at the same time.
Page 11
** Again note that IR return from RX devices follows the input selection unless you are using the “All” output. Page 9 of 30...
7. IR Cable Pin Assignment 8. EDID Management This M44KT has 21 EDID definitions in the internal library, two user defined EDID modes and 8 copy EDID modes. You can select defined EDID mode or copy EDID mode to input port through on-panel button, ASCII control or Web GUI.

The EDID Library is shown below: EDID EDID Description Mode 1080p – Stereo Audio 1080p – Dolby/DTS 5.1 1080p – HD Audio 7.1 1080i – Stereo Audio 1080i – Dolby/DTS 5.1 1080i – HD Audio 7.1 3D – Stereo Audio 3D –...
OUTPUT 1 port audio signal follows HDBaseT and HDMI 1 port, the OUTPUT 2 port audio signal follows HDBaseT and HDMI 2 port etc. This can be changed via commands and thus the M44KT can route audio independently of the video as well including ARC (only supported on HDMI output)
RS-232 Connection The M44KT uses a 3-PIN Phoenix connector for RS-232 communication. Many devices use a DB-9 connection. An adapter needs to be purchased or created. The TX and RX are reversed depending which end you are connecting to. DB-9 Female DB-9 Male 10.
