    Overview The high quality VM-114H4C is a switcher/distribution amplifier for HDMI and TP (Twisted Pair) signals. It reclocks and equalizes one of two selectable input signals and distributes it to four TP outputs. In particular, the VM-114H4C:  Supports up to 4.95Gbps (1.65Gbps bandwidth per graphic channel) (DGKat) ...

  • Page 15: Rs-232, Ir Control And Pass-Through

    RS-232, IR Control and Pass-through The VM-114H4C can be controlled via RS-232 and infrared. Depending on how the RS-232 and IR connections are configured dictates whether the device responds to control signals or transparently pass them through to another receiver or transmitter.
  • Page 16: Local Ir Control And Ir Pass-Through Using The Vm-114H4C

    Local IR Control and IR Pass-through Using the VM-114H4C The VM-114H4C provides an IR sensor and a 3.5mm mini jack for connecting a remote IR emitter or sensor. When the VM-114H4C is connected to suitable transmitters and receivers (for example, the TP-573 and TP-574), the VM-114H4C can act as a pass-through for IR control signals, allowing remote control of multiple devices using multiple IR remote controllers.
