USB Connectors
The matrix provides a standard USB mini B-type connector on the front panel for device control
purposes.
DIFFERENCE:
USB 2.0 B-type ports are for connecting USB host devices (computers).
USB 2.0 A-type ports are for connecting USB peripherals (camera, multi-touch display, etc...).
IR Connector
An IR detector and an IR emitter can be connected to the matrix with TRS (Tip, Ring, and Sleeve)
and mini-jack plug. The pin assignments are the following for the detector and the emitter:
1 Tip Signal (active low) 1 Tip
2 Ring GND 2 Ring
Signal (active low)
3 Sleeve 3 Sleeve
INFO: Ring pole of the emitter is optional. If your IR emitter has a three-pole TRS plug, then the Ring and
the Sleeve carry the same signal (Output - ).
