Demo Setup with the Wireless IR Extender

 

Example usage with our modules is when for example you are using the irdroid usb irda transceiver / irdroid usb ir transceiver inside of a cabinet. In this case you can use the irdroid usb ir extender to reach the target equipment and extend the IR range.

Another possible example if you have a home automation controller with IR output and you need to control several TVs , STBs in different rooms, then the IR extender can provide a multi-room IR extender solution, by using one IR Transmitter and several IR receivers. (See the picture above).
