IR Control
OmniStream provides IR control from either the headend / source location to the displays (downstream) or from the
viewing location to the headend (upstream). For downstream IR control, either multicast or unicast mode can be
used. However, when controlling a source from the viewing location, unicast mode should be used. Refer to
Unicast
Mode (page 22)
and
Multicast Mode (page 24)
for more information.
