Remote Control Mode


In addition to ‘passthrough’ operation outlined above, a VN-MATRIX serial input can be configured to

can be found on page 93.

One or more devices are designated as clients (in remote control mode). Data received by a device

Serial remote control functionality is totally independent of whether a VN-MATRIX is configured as an
encoder or decoder.

To set up a remote control group, see page 92.
