Rear Panel IR Control
The rear panel jack labeled "IR/Z-IN" allows the HDVI5 to be con-
trolled by hardwired IR controllers.
To enable/disable the rear panel IR jack , see the section entitled:
"Control Functions".
The IR signal can be either modulated or unmodulated:
30KHz to 500KHz
+3V to +15V
0V
MODULATED SIGNAL
UNMODULATED SIGNAL
+3V to +15V
0V
And uses a standard /8" (3.5mm) mini-plug:
GND
SIGNAL
+3V to +15V
The signal voltage can range from +3V to +5V.
The signal can be either unmodulated, or modulated with a modula-
tion frequenc y ranging from 30KHz to 500KHz.
The IR jack recognizes the same IR codes as the front panel IR sen-
sor. If the HDVI5 is taught new codes, these new codes will become
the new codes recognized by the IR jack .
Note: The IR control jack option is mutually exclusive with
+12V On/Off control option, only one of the options can
be enabled at a time.
+12V On / Off Control
The rear panel jack labeled "IR/Z-IN" allows the HDVI5 to be turned
on and off using a +2V control voltage.
To enable/disable the +2V On/O ff control functions, see the section
entitled: "Control Functions".
By enabling the +2V On/O ff control option, the HDVI5 will turn
itself on whenever the voltage going into the Z-IN jack goes from
LOW to HIGH, and it will turn itself off whenever the voltage goes
from HIGH to LOW.
The HDVI5 only looks at transitions on the Z-IN jack . For instance
if it detects a LOW to HIGH transition it will turn itself on. The user
can then use the power switch to turn off the HDVI5. After which the
voltage on the Z-IN jack must go from HIGH to LOW and then back to
HIGH, to once again turn on the HDVI5.
The HIGH level is any voltage above +3V up to +5V.
The LOW level is any voltage below 0.2V.
Any voltage between these two levels is undefined.
GND
On/Off Voltage:
High = +3V to +15V
Low = Below 0.2V
Note: The +12V On/Off control option is mutually exclusive
with IR Control jack option, only one of the options can
be enabled at a time.
