4.1 Using the IR Transmitter
You can use the RC-IR2 IR transmitter to control the machine via the
built-in IR receiver on the front panel or, instead, via an optional external IR
receiver
4
. The external IR receiver can be located 15 meters away from the
machine. This distance can be extended to up to 60 meters when used with
three extension cables
5
.
Before using the external IR receiver, be sure to arrange for your Kramer
dealer to insert an internal IR connection cable
6
, which is required so that
the REMOTE IR 3.5mm connector can be used. Connect the external IR
receiver to the REMOTE IR 3.5mm connector.
Control the matrix switcher using the front panel buttons, or remotely via
the Kramer Infrared Remote Control Transmitter, via an external remote IR
receiver (optional), or via RS-485 or RS-232 serial commands transmitted
by a touch screen system, PC, or other serial controller.
1 For the VS-646, 6 inputs and 6 outputs; for the VS-848, 8 inputs and 8 outputs
2 For RGBS applications, one of the sync channels (H or V) may be used for the S channel
3 Optional. Can be used instead of the front panel (built-in) IR receiver to remotely control the machine (only if the internal
IR connection cable has been installed)
