RS232 CONTROL
IR Matrix Window Introduction
Configuration Example - controlling displays from
matrix location
In this diagram, HDBT OUT port of the matrix is
connected to HDBaseT receiver with IR emitters attached
between each display/receiver, and Broadband IR
receivers are connected to the matrix IR RX port in clear
line of sight with the remote handset used to control the
device.
Launch the COM Control software.
Click IR MATRIX in Set Panel area.
Switch between IR TX ports and IR RX ports, for
example: Clicking #2 in IR TX port 1 enables the display
located in zone 1 to be controlled from source 2 location.
Clicking #1 in IR TX port 2 enables the display located in
zone 2 to be controlled from source 1 location.
Updating Matrix Firmware
SERIAL SET in Set Panel area enables individual matrix
transmission modules (daughter boards) or FPGA boards
to be updated, with additional upgrade also possible
using serial ports in the matrix circuit cards themselves.
vi) Input/Output Switch
The input/output switch allows selection of output port
(display) and input port (source) for specific combinations
of displays and sources within the matrix, with input/
output selections states able to be saved and previously
saved states loaded in to the switch.

compartment back into
the handset.
The same basic switching functions can also be accessed via the
remote control.
Operation of the handset is the same regardless of location –
locally (source/IR emitter) or remotely (display/IR receiver).
Simply toggle through the INPUT sources connected to the
matrix by pressing the left/right arrow buttons in each numbered
OUTPUT section on the handset.
previous / next buttons
When using the remote control locally, i.e. pointed directly at the
matrix, the previous / next buttons are used to scroll between the
input sources connected to the matrix for each individual output
display. So for example, using the previous / next buttons for 1
allows you to select the source to be set to display 1 manu-ally.
See below:
Matrix System Code Switch
The MX0606/0808-PP features an intuitive IR ‘Call Back’ system
of control through which the matrix is able to distinguish where the
remote handset is being used to change INPUTS and OUTPUTS
and is able to switch accordingly depending on the user’s location.
As such, the function of the handset buttons and operation differs
depending on where the handset is being used.
In the event that two MX0606/0808-PP units are used side
by side in the rack, the matrix is capable of switching between
two distinct IR System Codes to allow control of either matrix
individually via the hand-set.

System Code Switch
The default system setting is 0x00 to control one matrix, but
pressing the SYSTEM CODE button on the handset THREE
TIMES rapidly activates the alternative Matrix SYSTEM CODE
0x4e, allowing independent control of a second unit. Pressing the
button three times again to reverts back to default 0x00 setting.
NOTE
Changing the System Code is only necessary if you
are using two identical units within close range of the IR
signal. If using in different parts of the same room it is likely
that you will not need to change the setting.
HINT
If your remote control is not working, before changing the
battery, try changing the System Code on the handset in case it
has accidentally been switched to an alternative matrix control
mode.
Remote Control at the Display End (Remote IR)
When controlling the matrix remotely from the display side, the
matrix automatically detects which particular output location
the user is at and only allows the selection of sources 1-8 for
that particular location using the button - the right hand
button will be deactivated.
For example, if you are in the Master Bedroom with a display
connected to output 3 of the matrix, the output zone is
automatically detected so options 1-8 will correspond to sources
1-8 on the matrix. Press buttons 1-8 to scroll through your
options as you would channels on a regular TV remote.

01 Connect each HDMI input source (such as: HD-DVD, PS3/,
XBOX360, satellite/cable, Blu-Ray etc.) to the HDMI inputs
of the MATRIX.
ATTENTION
Do Not Hotswap Plugs! Please insert and
extract cables carefully with the power SWITCHED OFF.
Connecting and disconnecting while the unit is powered
can result in damage to circuitry.
02 Attach the IR TX emitters directly over the infrared receiving
sensor of each input source using the adhesive backing.
You may need to adjust the position of the emitter after
installation to achieve the best results. Sometimes moving the
sensor to different areas of the source facia can improve IR
performance.
Plug the 3.5mm jack of the IR TX emitter into the
corresponding number IR TX port on the rear panel of the
MATRIX.
03 For two-way IR controlling the display from the matrix
side: Plug the 3.5mm jack of the IR RX receiver into the
corresponding IR RX port on the rear panel of the MATRIX,
ensuring the receiver is placed in clear view to receive an IR
signal.
NOTE
Make sure the IR jacks are in the same number
ports.
HINT
Locate the infrared sensor on devices by shining a
flashlight onto the display panel of sources and look for a
small sensor.
04 Connect a good quality, well terminated Cat 5e/6/7 cable
with an RJ45 connector wired to 568B standard at both
ends from the HDBT Output port of the MATRIX to the UTP
IN of the RX-1UTP-IR-70 DISPLAY RECEIVER (or, if using
another Wyrestorm extender set, connect the transmitter to
the matrix via the HDMI OUT port)
Ensure both RJ45 connectors are pushed securely into
each port and supported by the connector strain relief clip to
prevent them from becoming loose. The quality of termination
for your RJ45 is essential. Poor quality terminations lead to
intermittent performance and longer install times.
HINT
Although all Wyrestorm products are tested using
Cat5e as standard, we suggest using Cat6 as the preferred
cable due to its improved distribution capabilities.
If using a Duplicate display mirrored to the HDBT Output,
connect the display via the HDMI OUT port.
ATTENTION
We strongly recommend using the
supplied mounting brackets to secure the MATRIX
and the accompanying TRANSMITTER & DISPLAY
RECEIVER baluns. Any sudden movement of these
