View source for Repeater system full quad view IR configuration

 Back to [[Repeater Controller|repeater controller]] main page

The section of the config file for basic IR configuration is shown here for an HDMI switch with the following control codes:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Function !! IR Code
|-
| Input 1 || 0x17
|-
| Input 2 || 0x12
|-
| Input3 || 0x59
|-
| Input 4 || 0x08
|-
| Quad || 0x18
|}

Substitute the codes for your HDMI switch if they are different.  In the file that follows, note that IR codes of the form "2nec:0x17" first send the code for the upstream IR switch (in this case nec0x17), and then send the code to the downstream switch (in this case nec:0x12 which is set in the output2ndhdmicode=nec:0x12 parameter).

Fragment of Config file:

 # Input config
 # Recommended gpio pins for "input active" are 32, 35, 18, 22, 16, 19 and 21
 
 # announcemediatype determines the player used
 
 # Switcher can use "ir" or "gpio" or "i2c"
 # IR uses a TX on GPIO pin 12
 # GPIO uses pins 36, 37, 38, 33, 31, 29, 23, 24.  Can be enabled with ir or i2c
 # i2c uses FMS6501A on Output channel 1
 # activeinputhold (yes/no) means that lower priority inputs do not get replaced by higher priority (except pri 1)
 # Show Quad is yes/no and overides activeinputhold
 
 # Number of available inputs does not include the controller, so is max 6
 availableinputs=6

If it is desired to have the quad available as a source in the carousel, then the  availableinputs= could be increased from 6 to 7, and the following code added to make the quad a source that is then selectable in the carousel:

 input7name=Quad
 input7prioritylevel=8
 input7activegpiopin=21
 output7code=2nec:0x18
 output7hdmiswitchpin=24
 output7i2cchannel=8
