IR Distribution
IR Over RF Aerial Cable
If you’ve used RF aerial cable to run signals to another
TV in the house you can use the same cable for IR
control. The Keene RF2IR product allows IR control
signals to be distributed via conventional aerial coax
cable. The IR receiver is the same as that used by the
common “sky-eye” type systems although it is not
limited to satellite receivers and may be used with
almost all IR controllable AV equipment. It allows easy
IR control from any remote TV that is connected by
aerial cable to the source equipment.
To use simply connect the “eye” receiver in-line with the
TV aerial on the remote TV and the RF2IR in-line with
the aerial at the source. IR signals picked up by the eye
receiver will be relayed along the aerial cable, decoded
by the RF2IR and output to an emitter wand to control
the source equipment. The output from the RF2IR can
also be fed into an IR distribution amplifier such as the
IRBKIT to control multiple items inside a cabinet.
Very effective where wireless RF type solutions don’t
have enough range or in cases where you want to keep
any extra ‘black boxes’ to a minimum.
Other options are
available: RF2IRL – If you
already own an IRBKIT
distribution system you
could save a little and
share the power supply.
If you would like an
IRBKIT distribution
system as well, you can
also save some money by
buying the two together.

IR over IP – IR Anywhere
The IR Anywhere products are capable of sending and
receiving IR signals across an IP network; either a LAN or
even around the world via the internet. If your home or
office is already cabled for LAN you can easily add room
to room IR control with this system, and several
customers are using this technology to control and
adjust AV installations in other countries! The modules
will receive an IR command, convert it to packet data
and send that data to a predetermined IP address
(usually another IR Anywhere module). The receiving
module will then decode the data and re-transmit the IR
as originally received. The IR Anywhere modules all have
their own internal web page and can be software
configured to receive or transmit as required. The
modules have a built in standard (36 ~ 40 Khz) IR
receiver, and the IR inputs and outputs are fully
compatible with the existing Keene IR Distribution range
so other styles of receivers and emitter wands can easily
be incorporated.
The output can also be connected to an IRBKIT if
required.
• Control IR equipment via local network or anywhere
in the world via internet
• Can be combined with IR distribution system for
large installations
• One-to-one or many-to-one control

If you want your AV equipment out
of sight but under control you need a
Keene IR Distribution system.
