What is a remote control extension?
Remote control normally uses infrared (IR) signals that depend on a strong range of vision connection. The remote control extension usually works by transforming IR to radio frequency (RF) and then back. Since radio waves do not depend on the vision line, this type of device can allow remote control to operate to a much greater extent. This expansion of the range may include one large room, the whole home or perhaps even the larger ranges. Examples are large TVs that are designed to be perceived from a distance, which can be difficult to control using a factory remote control. This could be caused by the distance between the remote and the receiver or the presence of objects between preventing good supervision. In this type of situation, the IR and RF remote control extender could be used to allow control from the other side of the room. In some cases Wired IR Extender may also be available for individual rooms, especially if KAB is connectedEl's cabinet.
Additional use of remote control can include multiple rooms and more distances. Simple implementation can use the remote control to control the device in another room, while more complicated examples may include multiple domestic cinema systems. In the settings where audio and video are offered more rooms through cable or wireless connections, it may be desirable to control the system from any of these areas. Some wireless sound and video transmitters also include IR functions, although separate units are usually available. One IR to RF remote control can usually be used for multiple devices.
Use of remote control extension is generally not limited to domestic cinema applications. Although the remote control is designed specifically for use with a TV or other device will usually be able to transmit anyIR signal that is sent to him. This means that virtually any IR -controlled device can use remote control extensions. Some applications may include a ceiling fan or air -conditioning unit control from another temperature treatment room before entering. Some computers may also have IR remote control, in which case one could also be used with an extender designed for home video purposes.
