IR distribution

["Brian G. Reynolds" <brian.g.reynolds@xxxxxxx>]

Okay, I am going to "bite-the-bullet" and buy some Xantech
stuff.=
....

I think I need the following..
791-44            IR
Spli=
tter/Amplifier      Qty
1    &=
nbsp;            
 &=
nbsp;          =A3 77.23
490-00            Micro
L=
ink Receiver       Qty at least
1   =
;        
     =
      =A3 88.13 

283M            Single
Bl=
ink Emitter      Qty 1 per AV piece of
equipment&n=
bsp;      =A311.75
or
286M            Double
Bl=
ink Emitter      Half as many as Single
Blink?&nbs=
p;           =A316.45

Total =A3181 min!
yikes!!!!

I think the IR emitters could be bought from, err, Maplins and soldered
ont=
o CAT5e? and the end connectors 1.5mm? also soldered on for connection
into=
the Splitter/Amplifier.
At the moment I seem to be living in the loft with all my kit rack mounted
=
and I am using a Pronto to control the kit. What I am thinking about is,
if=
I use stick on emitters I assume they cover the whole of the IR window the=
refore stopping the Pronto from working?
I know someone is going to say "if you can control everything from a
P=
ronto why fit Xantech stuff?" Easy answer, I do not intend to live up
=
here indefinitely! I also have my meals in the kitchen and dining room and
=
would like to be able to control what I watch there, not to mention the
liv=
ing room when I eventually move back downstairs
Does anyone have any suggestions or am I on the right track?
Thanks all,
B.
