page | 10 LED Status Basic Oper ation Basic Oper ation The Power Link LED indicator on the Sender and Receiver unit provides basic information on the current status of the 4K Ultra HD ELR-POL Extender w/ RS-232, Ethernet, and 2-way IR. The information, in the table below , applies to both the Sender and Receiver unit.
Controlling the Source from the Viewing Location 1. Connect the included IR extender to the IR In/Ext port on the Receiver unit. If using an automation system, connect the 3.5mm mini-stereo connector from the IR In/Ext port on the Receiver unit to the automation system.
Controlling the Display from the Source Location 1. Connect the included IR extender to the IR In/Ext port on the Sender unit. If using an automation system, connect the 3.5mm mini-stereo connector from the IR In/Ext port on the Receiver unit to the automation system .
Controlling the Source / Display from Different Locations Using bidirectional IR, the 4K Ultra HD ELR-POL Extender w/ RS-232, Ethernet, and 2-way IR allows the source and/or display to be controlled from the Sender or Receiver unit. Refer to the diagram, below , for connection details.
page | 14 DIP Switch Conguration On the bottom of both the Sender and Receiver unit are a set of DIP switches. The Sender unit has a bank of four DIP switches. The Receiver unit has a bank of two DIP switches. See the following pages for DIP switch settings.
page | 15 DIP Switch Conguration Each of the following sections describe the DIP switch settings that control each feature. DIP switches that are not related to a specic feature have been grayed-out. Note that DIP switch settings can be used independently or in conjunction with other features, as desired.
page | 16 DIP Switch Conguration HDCP Mode Some source devices (e.g. computers) will always send HDCP . This may cause problems in some systems. Set DIP switch 2, on the Sender unit, to the ON (up) position to ignore detection of an HDCP-compliant display .
