Sending Little-endian format pronto hex codes
With Lightware Device Controller software
Step 1.
Connect the 6107 port of the matrix and
Step 2. Choose the desired IR output in the control menu, on the infra tab.
Step 3. Copy the IR code into the Send Pronto HexSend button.
INFO: The maximum length of the code can be 765 characters (765 bytes). For more details about the
accepted IR code formats see section.
With LW3 protocol command
Step 1. Connect the 6107 port of the matrix.
Step 2.

With Event Manager
Step 1. Connect the 6107 port of the matrix.
Step 2. Create an event in Event manager. After setting any condition, set the action:
Category: Infra; Expression: Send pronto hex; Port: D1-D6; Pronto hex: Insert the pronto hex code.

INFO: The 2-pole Phoenix connector can be both infra or serial output. For infra data transmission the
destination TCP port numbers are 9001 and 9002
automatically.
ATTENTION! The IR signal cannot be routed from an IR port to another IR port.
Technical background
The Infrared signal transmission is similar to the serial data communication. The matrix contains dedicated
IR output where IR code sending is possible. The matrix can receive IR signal via the Control Ethernet port.
The Infrared signal is in pronto hex format.
Getting IR codes
Getting IR code is possible from two sources:
▪ Download a code which belongs to your controlled device from a web database from the Internet. The
downloaded codes are mostly in little-endian format.
▪
Learn IR code
Step 1.
Step 2. Push the proper button of the remote control to scan the IR codes in hex format.
Step 3. Remove all the non-hexadecimal characters (e.g. spaces, h characters etc.) from the code.
INFO: big-endian format.
