TESTING YOUR IR SETUP
TEST BASIC OPERATION
The easiest way to verify your IR setup is to go to your display device connected to output 1 of the central hub.
Use the matrix remote to select source input 1 and then use the remote control for your chosen source 1 to
verify control. Do this for each of the other sources connected to the matrix. If you wish, you can then repeat
the process at each of the display locations you have connected to the system.
FORWARD IR PORTS
The MHUB 4K 8x8 has forward IR ports on the rear of the matrix. These allow IR signals to be sent from the
central hub to the individual TV receivers. This feature is for use when integrating with third party control sys-
tems. In normal use these ports are not used or required. For example, a third party smart home system such
as Control4, Crestron, AMX or RTI can send IR commands to control devices at the TV receiver location from the
location of the central hub.
WORKING WITH IDENTICAL SOURCE DEVICES
MHUB has discrete IR, so it is possible to have two or more identical source devices without IR clashes that re-
sult in the operation of all identical devices. When using two or more identical source devices, please take meas-
ures to avoid IR transmission leaks that could cause the other identical source devices to respond. You can take
measures to shield source devices from the IR being emitted by other source device IR TX emitters by locating
them on different shelves, for example.
