Using the VM-114H4C

When there is no IR sensor or emitter connected to the IR Remote 3.5mm mini
jack, all signals received by the IR sensor on the front panel are passed to the
transmitter and receiver bi-directionally over the CAT 5 cable allowing control of
remote devices.
When an IR sensor or emitter is connected to the IR Remote 3.5mm mini jack, the
connection between the IR sensor on the front panel and the IR on the
transmitter/receiver is broken so that any signal received by the IR sensor on the
front panel remains local to the VM-114H4C and controls only the VM-114H4C.
To control any device you need to use the appropriate IR remote controller, for
example, the Kramer remote controller controls Kramer devices, the LCD remote
controller controls the LCD display and so on, as shown in the following examples.
The following examples illustrate just three of the possible ways of connecting the
VM-114H4C to provide local and remote IR control.
5.4.2.1 IR Local Control and Pass-through Example One
The configuration is shown in Figure 5 .
Figure 5: VM-114H4C IR Control and Pass-through Example One
A DVD player is connected to the TP-573 transmitter via an IR emitter.
An LCD display is connected to the TP-574 receiver via an IR emitter.
Both the TP-573 and the TP-574 are connected to the VM-114H4C via TP
cabling.
Point the appropriate remote control for the device at the VM-114H4C IR sensor
to control a device.
5.4.2.2 IR Local Control and Pass-through Example Two
The configuration is shown in Figure 6 .
