4X4 COMPONENT AUDIO OVER CAT-5 RECEIVER PANEL DESCRIPTION 1 IR Receiver This receiver will receive commands from both the included RMT-4IR remote control and from other commercial IR remote controls. IR commands from commercial IR remote controls are relayed from this unit back to the 4x4 Component Audio Over CAT-5 sending unit where they will be output by the attached IR Blasters.
RMT-16IR REMOTE DESCRIPTION L LED Indicator The RMT-16IR remote control will allow the user to select which source each of the 4 connected displays will be viewing at the source location. Each of the 4 displays are assigned a group of 4 buttons that correspond to the 4 source inputs. Please use the information below when selecting the desired source for each display.
RMT-4IR REMOTE DESCRIPTION LED Indicator Input Selection Buttons Each extended location with a 4x4 Component Matrix Over CAT-5 Receiver can use an RMT-4IR remote control to choose which source will be viewed by the attached display. Pressing the numbered buttons will switch to the source connected to the same numbered input on the 4x4 Component Matrix Over CAT-5. To use the RMT-4 IR remote, remove the battery cover on the back of the remote to reveal the battery compartment.
CONNECTING AND OPERATING THE 4X4 COMPONENT MATRIX OVER CAT-5 How to Connect the 4x4 Component Matrix Over CAT-5 1. Connect up to 4 component video/audio source devices to the 4x4 Component Matrix Over CAT-5 sending unit using the included 5 RCA component video/audio cables. 2. Optionally, connect up to 4 digital coaxial audio source devices to the 4x4 Component Matrix Over CAT-5 sending unit using one of the RCA cables from the supplied 5 RCA component/audio cable. 3.
OPERATING THE 4X4 COMPONENT MATRIX OVER CAT-5 RECEIVER The 4x4 Component Matrix Over CAT-5 Receiver can be placed at each remote location. Each receiver can switch between the four sources connected to the 4x4 Component Over CAT-5 Matrix sender. The unit has two methods of switching using either the direct selection buttons or the RMT-4IR remote control.
ADJUSTING THE 4X4 COMPONENT MATRIX OVER CAT-5 RECEIVER Each 4x4 Component Matrix Over CAT-5 Receiver has two trim pots used to adjust the brightness and focus of the video output. These adjustment trim pots are located on the front panel of each unit. Please use the guidelines below for adjusting both trim pots. Brightness If the image appears too dim or too bright, adjust the brightness trim pot. 1. Insert a small flathead adjustment tool into the trim pot. 2.
RMT-4IR REMOTE IR CODE CONFIGURATION How to Resolve IR Code Conflicts In the event that IR commands from other remote controls conflict with the supplied RMT-4IR remote control, changing the remote channel will alleviate this issue. The RMT-4IR remote control and the 4x4 Component Matrix Over CAT-5 receiver have DIP SWITCHES for configuring the remote channel that both units use to communicate. These settings must match each other for proper operation.
