PT-580T/TP-580T/TP-580R - Connecting the TP-580T and TP-580R
4.1 Controlling the A/V Equipment via an IR Transmitter
Since the IR signal on the
TP-580T
/
TP-580R
transmitter/receiver pair is
bidirectional, you can use a remote control transmitter (that is used for controlling
a peripheral device, for example, a DVD player) to send commands (to the A/V
equipment) from either end of the transmitter /receiver system. To do so, you have
to use the Kramer external IR sensor on one end (P/N: 95-0104050) and the
Kramer IR emitter cable on the other end (P/N: C-A35/IRE-10)
Two IR Emitter Extension Cables are also available: a 15 meter cable and a 20 meter cable.
The example in
Figure 5
illustrates how to control the DVD player that is connected
to
TP-580T
using a remote control, via the
TP-580R
. In this example, the External
IR Sensor is connected to the IR connector of the
TP-580R
and an IR Emitter is
connected between the
TP-580T
and the DVD player. The DVD remote control
sends a command while pointing towards the External IR Sensor. The IR signal
passes through the TP cable and the IR Emitter to the DVD player, which
responds to the command sent.
