Kramer TP-580Т [15/22] Controlling the a v equipment via an ir transmitter

PT-580T/TP-580T/TP-580R - Connecting the TP-580T and TP-580R

4.1 Controlling the A/V Equipment via an IR Transmitter

Since the IR signal on the TP-580T/TP-580R transmitter/receiver pair is

bidirectional, you can use a remote control transmitter (that is used for controlling

a peripheral device, for example, a DVD player) to send commands (to the A/V

equipment) from either end of the transmitter /receiver system. To do so, you have

to use the Kramer external IR sensor on one end (P/N: 95-0104050) and the

Kramer IR emitter cable on the other end (P/N: C-A35/IRE-10)

Two IR Emitter Extension Cables are also available: a 15 meter cable and a 20 meter cable.

The example in Figure 5 illustrates how to control the DVD player that is connected

to TP-580T using a remote control, via the TP-580R. In this example, the External

IR Sensor is connected to the IR connector of the TP-580R and an IR Emitter is

connected between the TP-580T and the DVD player. The DVD remote control

sends a command while pointing towards the External IR Sensor. The IR signal

passes through the TP cable and the IR Emitter to the DVD player, which

responds to the command sent.
