The system can also be used in a home to route 4 video sources (Satellite, Blu-ray, xBox, xLobby) to 4 displays. xLobby can directly control the HDMI matrix switcher by itself or any type of universal remote such as RTI, etc. can be setup to speak with xLobby using a second RS232 port for full 2 way communication as well, so that touchscreens and wireless remotes have full 2 way control to the switcher independently or simultaneously.
