When HDMI video source devices are situated in another room or if there is a break in line of sight, infrared remote commands will not work. In the past the solution has been to install a separate IR repeater system. The IR over HDMI Injector Kit is a reliable and easy-to-install solution that simply bolts onto your existing HDMI cabling.
The IR over HDMI injector Kit utilises the mostly unused CEC channel of your HDMI cable to send the IR signal. The CEC channel is used only by certain HDTVs that can send control commands to compatible video sources, so if you use CEC, you don't need to extend your remote controls. The unit has a switch that allows you to toggle between IR injection and CEC channel use.
Installing the IR over HDMI Injector Kit takes just seconds. Simply connect the transmitting dongle directly into the HDTV's HDMI socket, and then reconnect the HDTV's HDMI cable into the transmitting dongle's female HDMI socket. The transmitting dongle has a port that accepts the included IR sensor, which will receive any and all brands of remote control signals. Place the sensor somewhere near the TV where the remote control is normally aimed.
Plug the receiver dongle directly into your video source's HDMI socket. The receiver dongle has a port for the included IR emitter, which you point at your video source's remote control sensor. That's it, set up complete!
A very robust device, the IR over HDMI Injector Kit works even when the HDMI cable is routed through splitters, boosters, switches or extended via Cat5 extenders.
The package consists of:
2 x IR over HDMI injector dongles
1 x IR Sensor/Receiver eye cable
1 x IR Emitter/Transmitter cable
