IR REMOTE DESCRIPTION RMT-2IR Remote Control Unit LED Button Press Indicator This LED will be activated momentarily each time a button is pressed. Display and Source Selection Buttons These buttons are used to select which source is routed to the displays.

IR REMOTE INSTALLATION Installing the IR Remote Control Battery Remove the battery cover on the back of the IR Remote Control unit. Insert the included battery into the open battery slot. The positive (+) side of the battery should be facing up. Replace the battery cover.
IR REMOTE CONFIGURATION Setting the IR Remote Channel on the RMT-8IR In the event that IR commands from other remote controls confl ict with the supplied IR Remote Control Unit, changing the remote IR channel will fi x this issue. The IR Remote Control Unit has a bank of DIP switches for setting the Remote IR channel.
IR CHANNEL CONFIGURATION Setting The IR Channel Use the following procedure to set the proper IR channel on the 2x2 Switcher for HDMI 1.3. Press and hold the EDID button. While holding the EDID button, press and release the Reset button. The input LED indicators, on the front panel, will represent the current IR channel for the Switcher: A blinking LED corresponds to DIP switch set to the ON position.
To use this mode, press the EDID button on the rear panel until the front- panel LED marked “Int” turns bright green. This mode will use a preset EDID, from the factory, that is stored in the Gefen 2x2 Switcher for HDMI 1.3. This pre-programmed standard EDID data structure is compatible with most A/V display devices.
EDID MANAGEMENT External EDID Management The 2x2 Switcher for HDMI 1.3 features EDID Management. Before the source can send video or audio signals, the source device reads the EDID (Extended Display Identifi cation Data) from the output devices connected to the Splitter. The EDID contains information about what type of A/V data that the source can send to each output device.
