Repeater system basic IR configuration

Back to 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:
| 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.
Note that there is scope for confusion between the numbering on HDMI switches and the numbering that the repeater controller uses. The repeater controller HDMI is fed to Input 1 of the HDMI switch, but is known in the config file as Input 0. Similarly, the first receiver input (in this case the 70cms Ryde) is fed to input 2 of the HDMI switch but is referred to by the controller as input 1.
# 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.
