Just plug and play over your already installed HDMI cable. While there is additional installation for a Wall Plate, the results are worth it. Choosing an IR Extender There are 2 questions that you need to have answered to know if the IR extender is right for you. Will the IR extender work with my devices? Is the IR extender best for my setup?
What is the difference between dual band or single band? Which IR Extender is best for my Setup? Questions to ask about your Setup: How far do I need to go? What are the obstacles?
Do I want a Wall Plate? Added to your cart:. What are the usual components of an IR Repeater System and what do they do? The Target, often called an "IR receiver", receives the modulated IR light waves transmitted from your remote controller and converts them to electrical signals for distribution or extension.
The way in which the receiver s , emitter s and power supply are interconnected. This can all be wired together with or without any kind of terminal strip or manufactured connection block, or with such products. Using a connection block results in a system that is easier to expand and reconfigure.
The Emitter sometimes called an "IR bug", "IR blaster", or "IR flood" is the device that converts the electrical signal back from the distributed electrical signal to a modulated Infrared band light signal which is then retransmitted by light waves to the IR controlled device, such as a DVD player, Receiver or Display.
IR Bugs are attached on the receiving device directly over the devices IR receiver port. IR Floods are high output emitters placed in front of several devices to emit signals to all of the devices from one emitter device. Basically the whole system should be "transparent" to the remote control and remote controlled devices.
The conversion to electrical signals, distribution and conversion back to IR light should have no detrimental effects on the light signals, or at least have a negligible effect on the functionality. Seems like it should be pretty simple to do, right? Well, in fact, there's a bit more to it than that.
The devil is in the details, as usual for all this fun AV stuff. Problem 1: Power All this stuff needs power to work, and this causes limitations in the number of targets and emitters you can use with a given rated power supply. Target power outputs and emitter power requirements vary as well. Cable lengths and gauges can also be a factor, the longer the wire and higher the gauge the more likely that it could cause enough power loss to have an effect on the system.
Problem 2: Light Bends Pesky light waves stubbornly refuse to turn corners, lose their strength with distance, bounce all over the place causing interference patterns and are also emitted by room lighting, the sun and of course your display which "rather annoyingly" ha ha puts out lots of light itself. Unfortunately all these light sources tend to put out light at frequencies in the infrared band in addition to the light waves you can see.
Putting an IR receiver right next to your lovely Flat Panel display subjects the infrared light coming in to the various frequencies of light going out, causing interference. The sensor itself generally accepts a wide frequency range and needs to be properly filtered to remove non infrared band signals. The closer the receiver can restrict the incoming light to just the frequencies put out by the remote control the purer the signal will be, and the more reliable the whole system will be.
This means that IR remotes won't work through walls or around corners. Beulah Bakirov Pundit. How do I choose a remote extender? How to choose a remote control extender. Decide what you want your remote control extender to do. Decide how many and what type of infra-red emitters you require. Decide how visible you want your remote control extender setup to be. Decide whether you need to be able to control your audio-visual equipment from more than one room.
Rkia Bravo De Laguna Teacher. How can I boost my remote control signal? Locate the Infrared receiver on your TV set or device. Inspect your remote controller for vent or damaged infrared light bulb. Polish scratched or dull Infrared diode lenses on old beat up remotes. Miledys Rinaldi Teacher. Does IR need line of sight? Infrared , line of sight and operating angle. Mayelin Lijarazu Teacher. How do I connect my IR extender cable?
Connect the IR cable to the IR out port on the back of the TV and position the emitter near to the device that you want to control and then select OK to continue.
Setup a cable , satelite, or IPTV set-top box to control with your remote. Aurore Contin Teacher. How do I set up an infrared remote? Setup the IR Blaster from the Settings menu. Turn on the TV and make sure that the set-top box is connected and on.
Select Settings. Find the Universal Remote Setup entry here and hit Enter to get it started. Turn on the device that you want to connect the remote to. Locate the emitter on the device and press OK.
