UDM-1604 Endeleo Multi-Format Distribution Hub
IRTX (IR Transmit) Ports
Two 3.5mm stereo IRTX connections issue IR commands from the UDM hub to the controlled device(s):
TX1 – Transmits IR commands to Device 1
TX2 – Transmits IR commands to Device 2
A maximum of two IR devices (such as DVD players or VCRs) can be connected to the UDM via the
IRTX ports on the rear panel (FIG. 8), and controlled via the WebConsole or remote control.
Connecting an IR Device to an IRTX Port
To issue IR commands to the display device such as power on or power off, an IR01 Endeleo IR Emitter
Module (FG-IR01) is needed:
1. Connect the IR Emitter Module cable to the appropriate IRTX port on the UDM-0102.
2. Run the other end of the cable to the display device, and attach the IR Emitter over the device’s IR
sensor by removing the cover on the reverse side of the IR Emitter.
3. The UDM-0102 is now capable of issuing IR commands to the display device.
IR commands for each device on the system have to be learned by the UDM-0102 in order to function
properly. Refer to the Protocols and IR Learning section on page 49 on how to learn a device’s IR
commands.
FIG. 8 IR Transmit/Receive Ports
IRTX1 IR Transmitter port (3.5mm stereo output)
IRTX2 IR Transmitter port (3.5mm stereo output)
IRRX IR Receiver port (3.5mm stereo input)
IR devices controlled via the IRTX ports are typically installed within the same
equipment rack as the UDM.

Ensure the position of the device corresponds to the position assigned in the Devices
option of the UDM-0102’s WebConsole.
