Re: Electronics Gurus brain required...

Ok, so when I looked at this at first I thought 

"ok, this will provide me with 1 IR output for each zone, if I want
more then I plug each zone into a Xantech IR splitter."

Then I saw the price! ( a 10 way splitter is nearly 80 quid - without 
psu) ... So I got to thinking...

The circuit it clearly simple, so how do I go about making it 
something like an 8 Zone with 8 outputs per zone system?

That's where I stopped :( 

Should I be using relays? From what Dr John was saying I don't want 
to be pluging 64 emitters into Homevisions IR output jack at the back.

I'm wondering if a tweaked version of Ian's relay board is what I'm 
after?? 

Any ideas... (especially Ian :P )
