IR REMOTE CONTROL
NO AUDIO
HDCP KEYS
UPC/APS BACK UPS
The AT-PROHD48M-SR comes with 32 button IR remote control, which could be
used to control the switcher when pointing at it or controlling the switcher from
a remote location by pointing the remote control to the IR Eye connected to the
HDMI receiver.
For users who would like to use a 3rd part IR remote control or IR remote system,
we recommend either learning IR codes off the remote or copying and pasting the
IR HEX code into the remote control software. The file with HEX codes could be
found on Atlona website under downloads for AT-PROHD48M-SR.
There are 2 scenarios which codes to use:
• User will need to learn all 32 x codes in order to control each location when
pointing at the switcher
• User will only need to learn 4 x codes if there will be a separate remote for each
remote location
There is no audio on the TV or receiver. Set the sources to PCM. Please refer to EDID learning section.
Double check all HDMI and CAT5/6/7 connections.
AT-PROHD48M-SR is capable of multiplying the HDCP key to as many outputs as needed, therefore
even your source is only able to output 1 x HDCP, the Atlona box will still be able to display the im-
age on 8 displays. This is a very commonly asked question. How do we manage HDCP? Well, a lot of
companies do it differently. Some companies use the HDCP keys from sources and pass them over to
displays; however this method would be the simplest because there is no software is required, but in
the same time most sources have very limited amount of keys. For example if cable box only has one
key than only one display can show the signal. Atlona does it differently, we use one key and copy that
key to all the outputs (decryption/encryption is being done by Silicon Image chip-sets and therefore we
don’t see it). This allows user to use a sources with any amount of key’s even one and display it on as
many as 380 displays at the same time.
The way Atlona does it requires a lot of software writing and it is a very hard way of doing it; however
we think that it is very important that user is capable of viewing as many displays as needed and not
limited to capabilities of the sources.
The UPC/ APC back ups are meant to be used with computers and servers. They have been used in
the AV environment, but we advise against using them. They are not meant to be used with A/V equip-
ment. The solution would be to get dedicated surge protectors or power filters.
