IR over HDMI Control Kit (w/ Dual Band Support)

IR over HDMI Control Kit

The problem with locating your audio/video devices in a closed cabinet or another room is that it breaks the line of sight that the remote control relies on. PI Manufacturing's IR control kit turns any HDMI cable into an IR controller, allowing you to keep all your IR devices, such as a Blu-ray player in a closed cabinet or in another room while still being able to control it from your display device located in your central home theater room, such as a HDTV.

Our Solution

PI Manufacturing's IR control kit allows the user to control audio/video devices that are not in direct line of sight of the remote control. It does this by using the HDMI cable's CEC channel to transmit the IR signal. You can switch between CEC or IR mode. To connect the IR control kit, place both ends of the HDMI cable with the supplied HDMI IR adapters. Connect the IR TX pigtail to the HDMI IR adapter at the source end (Blu-ray player, etc.) and then the IR RX pigtail to the HDMI IR adapter at the display end (HDTV). The IR control kit allows extensions up to 325 feet and can also be used on HDMI switches, splitters, or HDMI extenders.

NOTE: When the source and display both support the CEC function, and you need the CEC function, you can switch to CEC mode (CEC mode is most often used in settings where the remote controller controls both the TV and DVD). In most cases, if one of the devices does not support the CEC function, and you need to control the DVD from the display end, then you switch to the IR mode.
