IR hard wiring works fine with Cat5

Best way to learn about the possibilities of IR is the Xantech site

http://www.xantech.com/products/i_folder/i_78944.pdf

links you to their basic amplifier

work backwards through the site to learn more

 

Things to remember with IR is:

It is like water - It only flows one way

So  bidirectional control = two circuits

TX(emitter) = two wires (signal/earth)

RX(receiver) =three wires (power/earth/signal)

Play with one Zone before planning Multi-Zones

Hope this helps

Mike

Hi all,

 

Got some questions re: IR.

 

What sort of cable would I need to install to allow me to wire up my house for IR in the future? Since Ill be installing network & coax to most rooms I figure I may as well do this as well.

 

In the medium term I would only use this to drive some modulated components in the AV room. But may extend this in the future if I go for Homevision (this would be located elsewhere).

 

Would homerun cabling apply? Ie in the wiring closet could I wire various receivers from various rooms to emitters located in 2 locations?

 

Thanks

Claude
