Description
Extend and Route Remote Control Signals
Since IR remote control signals need "line-of-sight" to work, you will need this extender if the equipment you're trying to control is hidden out of sight such as in a cabinet or A/V Closet.
How This WorksThis kit includes an IR receiver, a connecting block, and IR emitters. The IR receiver is a small device that you can mount on your HDTV's bezel or anywhere else in the room where you will want to point your remote. It is small and very easy to hide, but must be in line-of-sight to your couch (or wherever you will be sitting when using your remote control). This IR receiver receives your remote control's commands and sends the signal to the connecting block. |

RC-MM Support - The Pro Difference
Like other products in the BlastIR family this unit supports dual band IR signals but it doesn’t stop there, the Pro supports RC-MM Protocol.
RC-MM is a new IR protocol that was developed to be used with wireless keyboards and mice. The protocol uses much shorter waves than a typical IR signal and uses less power. Due to the shorter wave lengths and lower power most IR sensors are unable to process the signal. The BlastIR Pro uses high fidelity wideband IR sensors to process this protocol.
PLEASE NOTE: This product has been known to have compatibility issues with certain U-verse, Motorola VIP, and Cisco Explorer cable boxes. Please contact us if you have any questions about your setup.
