IR Extenders – Remote Control of AV Devices Over Long Distances
IR extenders are devices designed to transmit infrared (IR) signals over distances far beyond the limits of standard remote controls. Utilizing various transmission technologies such as CAT5e/6, fiber optics, or IP networks, they ensure reliable and stable signal delivery over distances up to 670 meters, maintaining full remote control functionality.
Extenders allow you to separate the IR source from the receiver (e.g., media player, set-top box) without compromising control – even through walls and other obstacles. Depending on the model, these devices also offer features like control of multiple devices simultaneously, bidirectional IR transmission, and PoE power, simplifying installation and reducing the amount of required cabling.
IR extenders are widely used in >conference rooms, home theater systems, educational setups, retail spaces, museums, as well as industrial and broadcast environments. They are a reliable tool for AV integrators looking for flexibility in designing modern remote control systems.
