Computer Proj Figure 4 VM 114H4C RS 232 Control and Pass through Local IR Control and IR Pass through Using the VM 114H4C The VM 114H4C provides an IR sensor and a 3 5mm mini jack for connecting a remote IR emitter or sensor When the VM 114H4C is connected to suitable transmitters and receivers for example the TP 573 and TP 574 the VM 114H4C can act as a pass through for IR control signals allowing remote control of multiple devices using multiple IR remote controllers 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 11 Using the VM 114H4C
