Installing Infrared Remote
Focus Unit (IRFU)
The Infrared Remote Focus Unit (IRFU) allows you to set channel levels
and record or run cues from remote locations in your studio or theatre.
The IRFU can be used as either a wireless or wired remote control unit.
Used as a wireless remote control, the IRFU consists of two compo-
nents; a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter is a hand-held,
battery-powered unit that sends infrared control signals to the receiving
unit. The receiving unit is connected to the console via the connector
labeled IRFU on the back panel.
If you want to use the IRFU exclusively as a wired remote control, only
the transmitter is necessary. In this situation, the transmitter unit is
connected directly to the IRFU connector on the back panel. Power is
supplied by the console.
MicroVision FX also allows you to use the IRFU configured as a wireless
remote in some circumstances and a wired remote in others. To do this,
connect the receiver to the IRFU connector on the console's back panel.
When wireless, infrared control is appropriate, use the transmitter in its
wireless configuration. If wireless infrared control is not convenient,
connect the transmitter to the receiver unit by connecting it to the
connector on the receiver unit labeled I.R. Connector.
See following page for pinout information for all IRFU connections.
Whether you intend to connect the IRFU directly to the console, or use it
as a wireless unit, ETC must configure the IRFU interface at the factory.
